This is what my diningroom table looked like...and you can't even see the stacks of books on some of the chairs...we would just push everything to the middle to eat for a couple days until I organized it all for the coming year!
Hooray! After my organization!
One of our bookcases....reference books ready for use...even a lot of Anna's fiction in a much more accessible way for her to get to them. (easier for her to put them away, too!)
I made a shelf of nothing but science books for Ronnie. He LOVES to read these! Now they are all in one place and he can read to his hearts content...and it will make it much easier for me when we are studying a particular subject!
I was able to seperate the top left bookcase for Ronnie & Anna's school books, and any other books (history) that we will be studying this year. The top right is highschool for the girls. I even had room on the bottum shelves for my cookbooks and craftbooks.
Cleared my table just in time to lay out this quilt for baby Hayden! Saw pictures on facebook today..he is so cute! Tons of dark hair, big eyes and very alert. I was also able to speak with both Ben and Crystal. Crystal is feeling better...sore and tired, but so happy to be home from the hospital! With Ben in the Airforce, I thought I would make Hayden a special quilt. I know it isn't traditional with squares or pieced in anyway....I thought a 'whole cloth' quilt was more appropriate....it has the batting in the middle, but the back is soft blue flannel. It is a good size,too.....a little bigger than crib size. Ben is probably being sent overseas in December, so I wanted the baby to have something warm, and something that will be big enough for him for years to come....and the Airforce, representing his daddy. We're so proud of Ben! So...plenty of projects to keep me busy along with our schooling...again, I cannot wait to get back into a routine! We've enjoyed all the parties, and get-togethers and trips this summer...but I am such a homebody....that is probably why I love winter so much! Staying home, cozy and warm! (I know it will be 90 degrees this weekend...I can dream can't I?!) Off to tuck in Ronnie and Anna to 'dreamland'! ~Sue~
