pencils # 3

For people who like to embroider, or make cute things or have a giggle please go read the blog Wild Olive. Her patterns would look so cute embroidered on my dish towels- do you think I could add this to the chore list of one of the kids?

In keeping with the pencil theme this week here is a free  cute pencil embroidery pattern

What I remember loving about going back to school was getting new pencils crayons. By the end of the last school year they had rolled off  desks and been banged around in my pencil case so much that the colored leads inside would always break as soon as you had resharpened them. Very Frustrating for a little kid!
So when looking at these neat pieces of jewellery I wonder if I could have used my old pencil crayons in such a way.

pencils #1

Well school is back in. Right up to the end I wasn't really ready for summer to end but then my  kid had a whine day - and I mean ALL day. I told her thank you because now I was ready for them to go back to school.
Of course now that school is back in she is tired and whines when she get home from school, but at least it is only a few hours until bed time. LOL
Anyway let's celebrate fall (is anybody else experiencing the hottest weather ever! this summer ) and back to school
If I got to go back to school I would want to be sporting pencils like these
