Things I know now that I didn't before


What I did this semester that I didn’t do last semester, was go deeper in jewelry. I think I learned how to make jewelry I never knew how to make. We talked more about God.  I also learned how to create a resume. I found that the resume was very easy and people didn’t think I had it in me; but I proved them wrong.

Latest Project: Do Justice, Love Mercy, Walk Humbly

Last Wednesday, the girls and I went over some project ideas. Micah 6:8 may be familiar to many; however, it is not one that is known to my girls. I used this as an opportunity to share with my girls how to follow God and how to love people. It was an interesting one, and one girl said: "This is very different from the world we live in." 

We are working with a couple from Chicago who work with wood and acrylic. Here is our latest project.The girls made decisions about style, color, choice,etc. The following is a sample of what is to come. The girls thought that black, dark brown, purple, royal blue, pink, and red. Each phrase will be a separate bracelet.
