Sewing/Computer/Craft/School Room

I don't think I've ever posted pictures of our Computer/Sewing/Craft/School room since we got our new desks and rearranged it all. Notice the stack behind my sewing machine? That was my to-do stack and still looked just like that till this week. Stay tuned for what that stack is turning into! One thing is my giveaway. It's all done, just gotta do a photo shoot and get it posted. It's still August!!!!

Photo wall. I remembered this idea from an old Martha Stewart Living. I painted a couple of frames, bought a few new ones and this is what I came up with. I really like this arrangement. Feel free to do this yourself, you won't regret it:)

Big Sister's desk during school. She just asked me yesterday if the bolts of fabric were always going to be there! Guess I need to find another spot for them. I kinda liked the way they looked there but I think she'd appreciate the room. Hmm, now where will I find to put them? Storage is NOT a strong point in old houses.

I have joined the ranks...

...the ranks of the homeschooling Moms! My first box of books for next school year arrived today and I'm so excited. It's hard to put them up so they still look new when August arrives! A year ago I wasn't very excited about this option, but I knew it was very likely going to happen as the cost of the private school we have attended was rising rapidly. With Middle Sister heading to school next fall too, it sounded like a lot of money to continue sending them to school. So by the time Big Sister started school last fall we had decided it would be our last year there and we would attempt the home schooling journey. We went to a Home School convention in Cincinnati, Ohio a week ago and made our decisions on curriculum for this coming year. We had a good weekend, and are very ready to make this change. Seeing the books arriving makes it very real!
Pray we will be able to handle this!
