knits of life: PIRATE PARTY
http://ben-christi.blogspot.com/2011/03/pirate-party.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. I started imagining this party some time in January. It was sort of a celebration of finally having a house that I could have people over in, using Joachim as my inspiration. That's my acknowledgment that his Birthday party was for me as much as for Joachim. We used the pallets from when the fencing was delivered and some of the sections of fence left by the previous owners. It was one of the things we did together that actually worked out really well because he got to do a l...

Fiber Jewels: Hi

Crafting, Hiking, Exploring, Teaching and Living in Alaska. Handspun Yarn Resources Page. Friday, June 5, 2015. It has been such a long time. So much has happened. As I packed my personal items, the adults "side talked" (having conversations with each other that we want the kids to hear) about my classroom being used over the summer, and how I had to take everything down and bring home all my personal items. The kids seemed to believe us and helped with the packing. I was going to work at the equine assi...

Crafting, Hiking, Exploring, Teaching and Living in Alaska. Handspun Yarn Resources Page. Thursday, March 20, 2014. Last summer, as you all may remember, I attempted to get in shape. I found out I had uterine fibroids, had a hysterectomy, climbed back on the Weight Watchers wagon, and continued trying to drop weight and get in shape. Weight STILL didn't come off. My coworkers were joking about this yesterday when one of them told me that didn't sound right and to get my thyroid checked. After spending th...

Fiber Jewels: Wish me Luck
http://fiberjewels.blogspot.com/2015/06/wish-me-luck.html
Crafting, Hiking, Exploring, Teaching and Living in Alaska. Handspun Yarn Resources Page. Thursday, June 11, 2015. To learn the ropes of non-profit grant writing, I set a goal to write grants pro-bono, for 5 different clients. Four of the "clients" I have lined up are people who know me, and were all too happy to allow me to use them to educate myself on the ins and outs of non-profit grant writing compared to writing tiny little grants for classrooms. You have been successful in everything that you do!

Crafting, Hiking, Exploring, Teaching and Living in Alaska. Handspun Yarn Resources Page. Tuesday, January 27, 2015. This week in knitting:. I have continued working on my Rondelay Redux. At about Day 8, I am thinking I'm about half way done, and it will be larger than the first Rondelay. It is hard to look at or photograph all squished up on the needles. I am liking to progress.

Crafting, Hiking, Exploring, Teaching and Living in Alaska. Handspun Yarn Resources Page. Wednesday, March 18, 2015. We have had a very dry (brown) winter with very little snow this year. Thursday, March 5th, was our last day with students before our "Spring Break". I took our students on a walking field trip to find a geocache. It was warm, sunny, and I had to work on keeping them out of mud puddles! Saturday, March 7th was the Ceremonial start of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race. Friday, March 13, 2015.

Fiber Jewels: WOW!
http://fiberjewels.blogspot.com/2015/06/wow.html
Crafting, Hiking, Exploring, Teaching and Living in Alaska. Handspun Yarn Resources Page. Friday, June 12, 2015. I posted about a meeting I had with a possible new client for my future as a freelance grant writer. I have been totally honest with them about my skills, or lack of, in writing grants for non-profits. I shared the journey that basically brought me to them. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Fiber Jewels: Moving Forward
http://fiberjewels.blogspot.com/2015/06/moving-forward.html
Crafting, Hiking, Exploring, Teaching and Living in Alaska. Handspun Yarn Resources Page. Wednesday, June 24, 2015. Life right now is pretty good. Yesterday I introduced two older boys on the Autism Spectrum to horses. If that weren't exciting enough, I even got paid for it! I am sure, once I have a set schedule, I'll do okay. I have found I FEEL like I get more done when I shower and get ready for "work" right away, instead of doing the same amount of work in my PJ's. I have been knitting. Interwebs fou...

Friday, January 20, 2012. The house project is complete (mostly, who's ever finished? Below, is a picture of the house before we closed on it and finally there is a picture of the house with the siding finished, yes, we just barely finished before it snowed and technically we still need to close in the garage, but that should be a breeze compared to how far we've come. This is from the end of the summer after we put in a lawn. a pretty big deal for the kids. Sunday, January 15, 2012. With What You Have 61.
