Hello
Lovelies!
These
past couple weeks have been positively busy: a little School “pre-reading”,
some more crazy face cross stitching, and as always being Mommy!
Have you ever taken a College
level History class? So far, in my journey towards degree completion, I have
taken 4 History classes: Arts & Ideas I, Arts & Ideas II, Western
Civilization I, and Western Civilization II. Arts & Ideas I and Arts &
Ideas II are History classes that teach how Art has progressed, altered, and
shaped History as a whole. My passion is art, so I LOVED it! Western
Civilization I & II are History Classes describing the European Continent
and its History essentially. I happen to love the Greek era and the Renaissance
movement: I loved these classes! I will be now taking American History to 1877.
I actually not incredibly excited about this.
If you’re not into History I
apologize for boring you for a little bit; if you are into History please feel
free to contribute! I’ve been “pre-reading” before class actually starts from
my text book: “Give Me Liberty! Third edition By Eric Foner”. The first chapter
illustrates the beginning of Christopher Columbus’s discovery, details of both
Native Northern and Southern Americans (referred to as “Native American Indians”
in the book which irks me) and the differences in beliefs of both Europeans and
Native Americans. Europeans in their religious beliefs were very misguided in
my opinion; I am not saying religion is misguided, I should be clear there, but
the Europeans were misguided in their need to “rehabilitate” another culture’s
religious viewpoints. BAH! I digress…
the POSITIVE of all this is I am only
4 classes away from a degree, and who knows maybe I can learn more about the
Country I love (despite our very discouraging beginning)!
CROSS STITCHING!! What do you think??
It’s beginning to look more like a face, yes? I am so excited; I’m
missing four colors hints the random holes not colored in. I have ordered the
colors from www.EverythingCrossStitch.com
and I’m hoping to receive them soon! If you can’t find the colors you need at
your local craft store, but I recommend shopping there first to help your local
business, they have everything cross stitch (ha, as if the name wasn’t
obvious!). I am so excited to see this completed!!
Thanks for stopping by, and I
hope you are having a happy spring!
