Yesterday’s Progress

Here is what raw determination will get you in just one day.
About
My name is Rose. I am a stitcher, painter, knitter, spinner, quilter, cook, homeschooler, and mother. I find myself saying, "I could make that," way too many times in a day. I fantasize about making every item in my house, from dishes and cups to furniture, blankets, and clothes. My loves are chocolate, mary jane shoes, and yarn shops. I have two Laughing Monkeys at home: The Boy, 9 and The Girl, 6. I share them with the love of my life, The Daddy Monkey.Categories

Congratulation on picking up the paintbrush again! I am doing the same, though i haven’t had a whole day to do it. But now that the kids are back in school…Keep it up: it will help motivate me to do the same.
