How fun it is to look at pictures from the past few months and realize just how much has been going on - like looking back over a well-filled journal, but in visual scapes rather than text. Photos become a visual journal of sorts, so today, I'm sharing a visual journal ... a couple of good books and projects of recent weeks!
Knitting, for one ... there is nothing better than working on a handcraft while there's a read aloud going on, in this case Miracles On Maple Hill. This is a gift started a good while back ... and is still in progress. *sheepish grin*
While I was working on this, my little sis was working on a little project of her own ...
CUTE, huh? She is so artistic, and only 10! She designed several of these little cross-stitch pieces of art for Christmas gifts.
Now, just look at these beauties ...
No, they are not planks set up to keep the existing well-stuffed book shelves from losing their contents. These, my dears, are more bookshelves, stained by me in preparation for completion of our library -- blissful thought! This project has been ongoing, and I am beyond excited to see the finished product.
The shell ...
And more staining!
Again, a good book is always a pleasant addition to the work scene ..
In fact, I think I'm off to get into my PJ's, sip a cup of tea, and read one. Have yourself one, too! :)
Ohhh, the "libry". Beautiful job on the staining. Can't wait to see the finished bookshelves.
