Not Quite a Failure...



Today I decided that I needed to sew some more. I like it, and I had Michael spend money on a sewing machine, not to mention all the money I spent on things to sew.

And patterns, oooh I love patterns. I have some that I don't even know if I will use, but for $0.25 how can I pass them up?

So today I finished my baby shirt. Its suppossed to be a preemie size, but the little girl I baby-sit wears 12 months, and I think it might be a little big for her... So I have no idea what is up with pattern sizes.

I also worked on my apron a little, but can't finish it until I have access to an iron, which will be in a million years when I finally move out, since I am going to be working all the time soon.

Now I'm going to actually try and make a sash to make my dress look less horrible!

    Do you use the same brand of patterns or are they all messed up? I've always wanted to make some sort of clothing from patterns. I bought a few a long time ago (before high school) but never did anything with them. I made a bunch of weird Barbie clothes though.

    Everything you make looks really good though, even if the sizes are wrong (which isn't your fault anyway). :)

    I use lots of different brands, they all just are for super giants!

Why I Choose Christian Light Education Homeschool Curriculum

Last summer I decided that I was going to homeschool our foster daughters while they were on summer vacation.  There were two reasons for this: 1) Two of the three girls were behind academically.  I really hoped that by working through the summer we could help them get on track for the next school year.  They left our house soon after school started, so I don't know how well it worked. 2) I don't allow my children much in the way of screen time, and these girls were accustomed to having TV and tablets in their rooms all the time.  So they never really knew what to do with themselves.  I figured school work for the morning would help with that dilemma. Choosing a curriculum was difficult for me.  I know that some people bounce around and change curriculum a lot, but whatever I got, I hoped I would like enough to use the non-consumables with Little Guy.  I don't like wasting money, and I hate the idea of some topics falling through the cracks because different curricu

Training Children vs. Raising Children

In many conservative circles, parents refer to training their children.  This term comes from Proverbs 22:6, which says "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."  Almost unfailingly, when you get into a discussion on this topic, there is a parent that is appalled at the use of "training" on children.  Nine times out of ten, they say "You train dogs, you RAISE children."
