Barometer.

Sometimes my bead table is a good indicator of my emotional state. When I'm feeling stressed and out of sorts, it often looks like this. Items continue to be piled on top of one another, projects are started and left hanging and nothing is put away!
The school year ended for N last week and I couldn't be happier. I think I needed a break from math homework more than he did! He was struggling for a while, so we put a lot of effort into math each night and he ended the school year with a better understanding and a higher grade. Between work and N needing extra help this year, I haven't had much time for beading or blogging.

Early this morning N and I had tea with cheese and crackers while sitting outside. The sun was bright, the conversation relaxed, and dew sparkled all around us.
Now it's time to take a breath, reconnect with friends and work on some creative projects.

I have had a ton of other life things to do and my beading has been non-existant. It's good that you are good in math to help out. I'm afraid if I had to help a child with math, they would fail. LOL

Math was never my best subject. And to make things more difficult, he is learning math in a different way than I did! I have spent a lot of time figuring out how things are being taught to him so I can explain things. That doesn't leave much time for beading! :)
