Another great week has come to an end! DG took so much enjoyment in getting up and started on her work independently this week, and in deciding how she would use her free time later in the day. We had a bit more free time than usual, and it was very nice to be at a slower pace than our normal for a few days.
DG has become "hooked" on latch hook! We spent part of one afternoon listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons and crafting-----she on her latch hook project, and me on my first soon to be finished crocheted baby blanket.
DG also started a Sew Teach Me sewing project-----a pet blanket. She measured out her seam allowance with a sewing gauge, marked off her seams, and sewed two fabrics together for the first round. She will sew another round and add fringe soon, so we'll post the finished project next week. In the meantime, here she is sewing away!
We completed a delightful nature study of our milkweed plants and all the creatures that are enjoying them, and enjoyed being able to work outside one day as well. (We are both looking forward to more days like that!) Here are a couple of other pictures DG took while we were outside:
And a picture taken from the inside as she watched birds at our feeders-----until this furry little guy came along:
DG and her Daddy have enjoyed playing No Stress Chess over the years-----and she is so excited that they have begun playing regular chess together too!
And to wrap up for the week, I'll close with some snapshots of some of her written work.
