Lately at ASWC

Things have been quiet here, but I have still been busy over at And Sew We Craft.

Here are just a few of my posts from the last few weeks:

Amy’s 2014 Project Life Album: Getting Started

Sort of Wordless Wednesday...

When I say sort of wordless Wednesday, I mean this post is very photo heavy and very light on words... 

Kindy days have meant baking and cleaning days. The kids have been coming home to a baked treat on most of my kid free days and they have been loving it.

Mahli had a bad reaction to mozzies, AGAIN. This isn't even when it was at it's worst. At one point we couln't see her eye at all. Thankfully when we were finally able to see the doctor and get some stronger medication it came down quick smart!.

I've been working on my 2014 Project Life Album, I shared a bit about it here. 

B bought ANOTHER shed... that brings out total to 3...

And we drove 4 hours the other day to buy a lawnmower and a few things from K-Mart, then turned around and drove home. It was a LONG day because as soon as we got home we had a birthday party to go to. 

And Ethan has been playing silly buggers as per usual.

What's been happening at your place?

Finding Balance

I've haven't blogged here in over a week. I just can't seem to find a balance between life, running the house, helping kids with their homework, my tasks over at And Sew We Craft and everything else in between.

The days are just going so so fast and I am cramming as much as I can into them, but it's just not enough. And at the end of the day I just want to crawl into bed and hope that tomorrow brings some quiet space where I can sit down for a little while and share what is happening here.

And there has been lots happening here! School has well and truly kicked off with a bang, there has been some problems with all three at school and dealing with that has let me feeling like I am banging my head against a brick wall.

Master E's problems seem to be working out and he should see the speechie at school soonish.

Master C's issues are still ongoing and they are probably going to be happening for a while longer too. But we do seem to be moving forward.

And well Miss M has decided that she get shy when having to say her sight words to her teacher and this has resulted in her teacher thinking she doesn't know them when in actual fact she is miles ahead of where her teacher thinks she is. It's frustrating as I don't want her repeating work that she already knows and not moving forward but I also don't want the teacher to think I am fibbing about my childs abilities when Miss M won't show her teacher how well she actually can do.

Anyone have any advice on that?

Studio Calico Monthly Project Life Kit

Last year I started documenting our photo's with Project Life. I still haven't finished last years though as I only print photo's in large batches as I have to order them online. But a huge order of photo's arrived this week so hopefully I will get up to date soonish.

Anyway I've also been adding to my project life supplies slowly also and one way of doing that was buying a few kits. I'm a complete newbie with Project Life and really got into it after Talia started sharing about it more over at ASWC last year. 

But back to this kit, it is the monthly Project Life kit from Studio Calico. You can buy them as a subscription or on a month to month basis. I only bought a one off kit but now that I have received it I am planning to sign up for the subscription as I think they are really great value and they will enable me to add embellishments and accessories to my layout more easily as I am pretty clueless about where to start with those things!
