It Has Begun

Well, it is official. I am back at school. Today was our first day back and I am happy to report that I made it through without getting tired. However, I started to drift off during dinner! So, it looks like I will have the energy to teach, but may have to take a cat nap when I get home or go to bed before the sun goes down.


I was able to complete most of my summer projects before this week. I have a few small projects that I can take care of on the weekends. My new deadline is October 1st, so I will be ready for Megan! As for our sweet girl, I was able to complete the art projects for her room this week. The room is pretty big and the window is off to the side, so it feels like I have a lot of wall space to fill. The first one is an 22"x8" frame with her name in it that I will hang over her changing table. The second picture is actually one from of four that will hang over her crib. I am probably going to hang them with a dark pink ribbon, but I will wait for the furniture so I can see how long to make the ribbon. Finally I have a trio of canvases with circles on them that will hang along the back wall over the chair and bookcase. I have included a picture of all three canvases and one of them close up so you can see the circle detail. I am so happy with how they turned out! Justin and I went and bought all of the supplies at once. Luckily, all of the projects worked. Sometimes I get great ideas in my head to "make my own" and they are disastrous, so I am relieved these projects did not have to be discarded. They took longer than I thought they would, but that is the story of my life. I think I can do things much faster than humanly possible. Just one of the things that I don't want to pass on to my daughter.
