mrs. quick (project 5)

ever feel like your world is spinning faster than you can keep up with? like you want everything to just stop, so you can catch up? that pretty much describes me and my world the past few weeks. I've had to be away. I've so wanted to stop by and chat with you, share something inspiring (like so many of you are doing), or just visit you in your spots, but that just hasn't been possible. I have some light shining in on my schedule this week, so I hope to share a bit of what's been happening with me.

but before I do...I have to finish the little 5 in 5 series I started. my fifth and final project from my crafting weekend was a teacher gift for lisa. you already know she's the most awesome homeschooling mom I know...and sometimes homeschooling moms don't get all the cute teacher gifts the public school teachers receive throughout the year. now, some of you teachers may think this is a blessing :), but I think they're fun, so I created a back to school present for her.

I waited until the school room redo was finished, so I could match my frame choice to her room colors. this is what I came up with:I started by lining up and gluing the crayons to the white card stock with mini glue dots.

I added her name, the frame, and it was complete! super simple and super cute! because I don't have many original ideas, I'm sure I saw this or something similar somewhere, but have no idea who to give credit to.

yesterday I touched my knitting needles for the first time in four weeks! It was so good to relax and knit. I hope I'll be doing more of that this week.
