Busy June

Yes. Something is planned for me everyday in June. Konrad is in China so I can't even complain to him. Where did May go? You know how when you have a missionary serving you have all these great projects you want to get done and you start them all within 6 weeks of them coming home? Yes. My list has 76 items and Erin comes home on July 21st. How many things do you think I will get done?

Lately;

Alison's broken nose.

Brian and MJ spending a romantic month in Italy

Low maintenance haircut for month in China.

Audrey's Senior Ball. Yes, she graduated from High School.

Projects complete, finals over, feels great

Here are the last projects from my design theory class.



Texture Study (emotion - happy)



Repurpose Study ("Dooney & Book" - book, shirt, telephone wires)



Color/Pattern Study

He's a Travelling Man

Many of you know that Konrad recently went to Uganda and Ghana. He just got back from another trip to Spain and Israel. He usually doesnt travel this much and he is pretty tired and behind in his work. We are going to Houston next week to visit MJ and Brian and then he is NOT travelling until June. He will be taking a student exchange group to China, Vietnam and Korea. Alison was recently in her school's musical "Flower Power". It was really fun to watch her take the stage. I tried for an hour to upload a video of Alison. It wouldn't work, if I ever figure it out I will post it.

Sweetheart's

Audrey had her Sweetheart's Dance at the High School and we barely finished the dress. Since Konrad is is Uganda struggling with giant bugs in his bed, Alison and I had a romantic dinner together. The Laurels in YW came over to make Valentine's Treats. We made valentine tarts, oreo truffles and sugar cookie bouquets.

It is Mao

I was so pleased that everyone could see Mao in the wire! The mole on the chin gave it away. HAHAHA. Come to think of it, Konrad does have the same hair. I think he guessed it so fast because he is reading this book

right now and I see it on his nightstand everytime I walk in the bedroom.

Design Theory assignment

Okay, I had my first assignment in my Design Theory class. I was to find a picture of a famous person and create a one line drawing of it and then bend wire in one continuous line. I drew quite a few different characters, (Hitler, Woody Allen, Conan O'Brien) and THIS one. I held up my drawings to Konrad and he got this one on his first guess. I don't know that it is recognizable now that I have bent the wire. I will reveal the name of the person in a few days (after I get a grade) Do you see who this is? (or is Konrad playing with me) This could really be embarrassing.

Alison's drapes

For Alison's 13th birthday I decided to try and spruce up her bedroom. (She has complained a little bit) After huge makeover plans and 3 failed projects, I did get her drapes done. She had a musical practice at the middle school so I put them up while she was gone. After cake and a few presents she went upstairs to take the gifts. It was fun to hear the scream. Thankfully, she likes them. I laughed thinking about her friends asking her what she got for her birthday - I got drapes. HAHAHA

I just looked at the blog, and the picture doesn't really look like the drapes - they are really bright colors - not dull like the picture looks.
