Graduation Time

Alex, my oldest son, graduated high school on Thursday evening, May 24th.  It was a really nice ceremony, and here are some pictures of the family with the graduate:

And me and Alex:

And here's one of Alex with his girlfriend Dottie:

Aren't they adorable together?  We are so proud of Alex!  He graduated with honors and a 4.2 GPA.  And I didn't even cry!  I think I'm saving that for when he moves out and starts college.

Tyler is doing great as well, he's happy to be done with middle school and anxious to start high school.  I'm sure he will make lots of new friends!

I've been busy crafting!  Spinning, beading, knitting, and crocheting.  I made my mother some coasters and a dishcloth, and I put them in a cute crocheted basket in the shape of a coffee mug.  She loved it!

I also made the jewelry that I wore to Alex's graduation.  I used Swarovski pearls in a coral color to make a necklace, earrings, and a bracelet.

I just can't believe the boys are out of school and it's summertime!  Happy crafting, everyone!

Graduation Time!

Mother's Day is tomorrow!  Happy Mother's Day to my mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother.  They have all inspired me in one way or another.  I hope to enjoy a quiet Mother's Day at home with my boys.

Speaking of my boys, it's hard to believe, but my oldest baby boy is graduating from high school this year.  He will be attending Georgia Tech, and we're very proud of him.  He wants to study computer science, and there are several areas within computer science that he will also study.  On top of that, my youngest baby boy will be starting high school in the fall.

It's been a busy crafting time as well!  I've been spinning quite a bit, and still feel like I'm learning a lot.  Mostly I've just been practicing getting fiber to the thickness that I would like.  I've also been knitting and crocheting, making everything from a cardigan sweater to a shawl to socks to dishcloths.  I'm currently working on a pair of socks, some coasters and a dishcloth for my mom, and another cardigan sweater.

Happy Crafting, everyone!
