ONE HOMESCHOOL BOOK YOU HAVE ENJOYED: Does the Rainbow Resource catalog count?

ONE RESOURCE YOU WOULDN'T BE WITHOUT: I agree, the computer.

ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH YOU HAD NEVER BOUGHT: I can't think of one that's been a bomb for us. I'm really selective and downright picky about what we buy.

ONE RESOURCE YOU ENJOYED LAST YEAR: The ability to just set it all aside, for as long as we needed to, when our youngest "student" was born.

ONE RESOURCE YOU'LL BE USING NEXT YEAR: Hmm... no solid plans yet, the gobs of reading books I know we'll pick up perhaps.

ONE RESOURCE YOU'D LIKE TO BUY: Huge science kit.

ONE RESOURCE YOU WISH EXISTED: A self cleaning house.

ONE HOMESCHOOL CATALOG YOU ENJOY READING: RR

ONE WEBSITE YOU USE REGULARLY: Google and Wikipedia get used pretty regularly.

Bags, hats, and toys.

Bag one, gifted to a girlfriend. Easily big enough to be a diaper bag. :)


Bag interior


Big dd's hat, crocheted skully. There's a slightly lacy dc twin stitch thing through the middle, but barely lacy so that lil noggin will stay warm. It's back on my desk! She wants ear flaps like her brothers now. The butterfly you can barely see was made because she needed a butterfly toy. Silly me used the same yarn as her hat and she decided it would look better on her hat.


The huge fair isle mittens I made for a stage prop. I traced hub's hand and cut them out of a sweater from the thrift store.


The second butterfly, this one has remained a toy.


A snake for big ds. The circle is a quarter.


Lil ds's hat. It's a superwash wool.


Bag two. This one will be gifted as well. It's the same size as the one above, but I put a whole strip of pockets on the inside, and none on the outer sides like bag one. The inner pocket has elastic on the top, and dividers so it's 3 small pockets. This is the interior.


Whole bag. The person it's being gifted to someone who loves all things patriotic.
