In addition to some exciting travel and missions opportunities we have planned for the summer and some household projects I'll have more time for I have some arts and crafts goals, as well.
1. Homemade Christmas
Continue with my Homemade Christmas plans to make more items to be given away at Christmastime. I am working on making these items every month, so that I won't be overwhelmed with how many people are on my Christmas list come November.
2. Begin to Learn to Crochet
I don't expect masterpiece skill level by September, but I would like to get the ball rolling in that direction. I have always wanted to learn to crochet, and I happen to have some really cute yarn waiting for me to bring it to life. I have a curriculum style program I picked up at a homeschool conference that I will be using for this. It's called "Sew Teach Me."
3. Make Some Maxi Skirts
I have a hefty supply of fabric that I have acquired over the last few years or more. One thing I would love to make with it are some cute, trendy, and feminine maxi skirts. I love a good long skirt, so I have been collecting ideas, tutorials, and technique tips to do this.
4. Paint Big Blank Canvas in Dining Room
I got a great deal on a huge canvas about a month ago, and I put it up on the wall where I want it in our dining room. I have some ideas, but haven't taken the plunge yet on completing it. I really want this to be a great piece that represents our family, so I look forward to this project!
5. Paint Party!
I have recently noticed that there are several ladies at my church who paint and are great artists! I would love to organize a fun get-together for us to paint and inspire each other while being refreshed and encouraged. Wouldn't that be so fun?
