Last semester was crazy, hence no postings last semester. This semester will probably be closer to insane! I am doing Level II of my Elementary Education program plus I am taking a statistics class that I need to apply for my student teaching Spring semester next year. That makes a total of 18 credits for me this semester!
So, what did I do between semesters to relax and prepare for this semester? Well, I studied for the PRAXIS. But to really relax I worked on a lot of crocheting and knitting projects. I made a couple of blankets for Christmas presents. And I am happy to report that both of them are being used regularly by the recipients! I made one for my friend from Ohio that is a cranberry red, dark gray, navy blue, and white. He is a huge Ohio State University fan and he goes to school here at Utah State University so I combined the school colors of Ohio Sate (Red and Grey) with Utah State (Blue and White). The other blanket I made was for my sister for her birthday. It is sage green, chocolate brown and a light tan. She loved it so much that she went and got a whole new bedding set to go with it. I am also working on a blanket for each of my AWESOME roommates. I am making one that is black and white with a green border around each square. There will be 12 squares total. For my other roommate I am making one that is made up of hexagons that are a combination of lily pads and frogs.
