Taking a break

After all those weeks of getting ready for a craft market, I had to take a break from my crafting. Plus the fact that I need to put all of my stuff away for when my husband gets home. (whenever that will be:)  So I have been cleaning, exploring different places with my kids on this beautiful island and reading as well.   Our library here on base has a reading program not only for the kids, but also for the adults!!  So I trying to show my kids just how important reading it, especailly my 7 yr old who seems to be struggling with reading.   I have lots of things I want to do, but have to put them on hold.   Soon a few reviews of books. :)

Craft Market and T shirt

Saturday I did my first craft market!!!

My friend daughters sat with me and sol some of the hair pretties that they made.  They did pretty good at a little over 50 bucks, and I made about 92. Not bad I hear for a day at these craft markets.

I also ordered my Okinawa coupon Queens tshirt!!

I love it and it turned out super cute!! Now to wear it to our outing Wednesday!!!!

So now that I have gotten a chance to do something other than sew, I crochetd a scarf, loving it, but now I need to learn how to mae some flowers to jazz it up a bit. 

Father's Day Super Hero Gift Set

I got this idea from one of many wonderful peopl on Tip Junkie. The link to it is below.

I thougtht that since my husband is deployed, this would be a very fitting and fun Father's Day gift for a soldier serving where he is at.

The original address is for the master bedroom, but I crossed it out and put A BEE Hut in the Desert.

she had different things in hers than I did, but I tailored it more to my husbands likes.

400 squares Later

I signed up for the I Spy Quilt Swap. Between last night and this morning I cut out 400 4x4 squares.  Forgot how much of a workout cutting that much fabric can be. :)    I'll show pics later. Now I think I am going to take a nap.
