Through the years my hobbies have seemed to be justified with "oh look, we can use it for ______ (fill in the blank with the school project name needed for justification of the purchase) school project". Having 4 kids there has always been a ton of school projects. I LOVE projects!! I leave the math to Jeff my wonderful engineer of a hubbie, and I get the fun stuff!! Smart plan don't you think??
Here's the latest school project on my HQ no less...
This year it's a new banner. After cutting all of the letter with the Sizzix Big Shot Pro I decided the letters were too small, so that plan had to be scrapped. It was about 9:30p.m. when we started the new lettering large enough for the banner. I hadn't had much success with Heat & Bond on the flag so I knew I was going to have to stitch those puppies down. So on the HandiQuilter the banner went.....
The kid finished up about 10:30 with his part, and I continued working till about 1:00a.m. Sunday morning. The banner had to be at school on Monday to go in the vehicles headed to Charleston, SC. You can read about the Robotics Competition here. The kids did great in the local competition and headed out this morning for South Carolina. Here's the picture I took Monday morning, doesn't he look thrilled??
Got to love being able to justify our hobbies as school project necessities.....
thanks for checking on me,
hugs,
