Crochet Me Crazy

I have a basket of different shades of GREEN yarn. This is Red Heart so I don't want to use it for baby stuff. I'm ready to clear out that green yarn so here's the first of my stash-busting projects. Both of these slippers turned out very small size so I guess I was off on my guage. They are going into my finished project bin now. Both of these are shown on Alison's feet but they are even too small for her.




What else is up with me? We're just plugging along with homeschooling. I'm really happy with what we've accomplished as far as grammar skills this year! If they can retain the skills we've learned this year, they should be ahead of the average Joe. I think we're going to focus on using those skills with writing next year to cement what they have learned this year.

Alison has been working to get ready for her ballet exam which is tomorrow! It's getting a little tougher. She is in Grade 4 ballet this year and has been dancing since she was 4 years old. This is an important year to master as next year it gets serious with beginning ballet Pointe which is what most people think of when they think of ballet!

Michael is on the last stages with his braces! He is scheduled to get them OFF in less than 3 weeks! Yea! No more sore mouth and rubber bands!

My mom is doing okay. She had a tough 2 weeks where she fell 3 times in that time period. Thank God she wasn't seriously injured during any of those falls but she had some a nasty bump and bruises. We finally narrowed the problem down to the fact that she has been prescribed "Ambian" to help her sleep. The time period she was falling was the exact time period she was being given that medication. We stopped the medication and she hasn't fallen since.
