Time For Normal

I have been non stop for over a month now and I am so ready for a break. School came to an end and we boxed up all the First grade things we didn't need for Second grade and sent it all back.
My husband can sometimes travel for his job and this time it was far enough away, and for a week, that they got him a Hotel room. We went with him and had a mini vacation next to the coast. It was such great weather and we had fun. Cell reception wasn't always the best, so I took a break from that.
But the whole week we were gone, I was test knitting. Got all that done and the Pattern released last Friday. I will link it below, it was super cute!
Every weekend we have been hiking and going into the mountains. We will probably continue that, as we all like to do it. No service out there at all lol
I have been so busy and out of sorts for too long. I am getting back to my schedule and will be posting, knitting, crocheting, crafting, reading, and living my usual boring but lovely life, more now!!
I have that feeling that you sometimes get after going on a real vacation for a period of time, then when you come back you don't quite know what to do with your life lol any one else ever get that?!?
It's weird.
Took a break from making my moms poncho to test knit, so I will be getting back to that this week as well. Starting a Mother and Daughter Poncho Pattern after I finish. I have an idea for it and drew a small picture of what I want. I cannot find a pattern like it, so I think I will try to make one myself.
Doesn't seem like much writing it all down. Well some of it at least.
I think that is about it for now and a good little update. Also, thinking having two "blogs" isn't working for me :/
Anywho, enjoy the rest of your week and thank you for visiting!!

A lot has happened!!

So, last I posted was almost a year ago. We have had a lot going on. I am now homeschooling our daughter, and she is loving it. She's in first grade and already ahead of her work and at a second and third grade level in reading and math. We went on a field trip to OMSI (for fun) and our family vacation was to another aquarium. Still exploring the great state of Oregon. I know we were born and raised here, but there is still so much to see and to show our kids.
Hmmm, I finished my moms cardigan. I think that was the last thing I posted about. I finished it in April. I have made another sweater for my girl. Two hats and a matching scarf for my mom. The cutest little snowman stuffy for our niece and another for decoration. I made myself a sweater this January when I test knitted for a designer. She's amazing and I loved the sweater!! I'll have to post a photo below. And links to her Instagram of course.
One of my goals this year is to be more consistent with posting on here and my Instagram.
I started making items to sell. One of my other goals for this year is to book a craft fair or two!! I am super excited about that! I bought a Cricut to play around with. My mom wanted to get one with me and make some fun shirts and whatnot, so I got the pink Explore Air 2. It's fun! I want to make all the things. I always do!
We didn't get any snow for Christmas but we did last weekend. We took advantage of no school and work, drove up the mountain a bit and went sledding all day. Luckily I packed Hot Cocoa for all of us!!
Its been pretty slow and boring here, which I like :) School is going great. Work is great. Getting more organized, all over the house. My husband appreciates that! I plan on posting at least once a week, maybe more. Showing my progress of my projects or just anything on my mind. Like i've said before, this is more of an open journal for me. A place to brain dump and have some fun writing.
Thank you for reading. Have a great weekend!!
