Today my schedule was very vague on what I should write in the blog. It said: Craft, Fashion, or Girl Stuff. I get the feeling that Dad thinks that those three words sum up all of my extracurricular activities. He is mostly correct to tell you the truth, but ‘Girl Stuff’ can cover a broad range of things. Anyway, I’m going to follow my schedule and tell you everything that’s been happening in Crafts, Fashion, and Girl Stuff lately.
Crafts
I made most of a tiger amigurumi on the plane ride but it doesn’t look very good and it still needs legs. I’m also planning to make some of these cute headbands . I already found a great idea for handmade Christmas gifts for the year on Martha Stewart.com.
I’m not too crafty as of late actually. I have craft highs and lows. Right now I’m sort of medium. Outside of Betty Blonde, I’ve actually been drawing quiet a bit. I made my third annual convention drawing and put it on Facebook. It’s six pages long since there were like 45 kids that I wanted to draw. Very epic.
As for fashion, I’m afraid I’m not much of a fashionista. I like to look nice and I think shopping is fun as long as I have something in mind that I want to buy, but that’s about it. I suspect Dad put it in my schedule because fashion is to girls as football is to boys. ๐
Girl Stuff. I think I’ll just write anything I want here, because I’m a girl, and so naturally when I’m writing about stuff it will be girl stuff.
I think Dad already wrote this, but I’m reading The Victory of Reason to review on the blog later. I wish I could review it now because I have been enjoying it so much, but I’m not even through the second chapter. Because of it, I’ve been thinking about things that I never would have even considered before. It’s answered a lot of historical and even a couple of spiritual questions already and it’s given me a healthy list of vocabulary words to look up. And I thought non-fiction was a drag!
Also, I started Rosetta Stone French today! I’ve learned how to say how girls, women, men and boys can eat, run, read, write or swim! I feel very smart and culturally savvy at the moment.

Amelia
Hi Kelly, my mom has written on your Dad’s blog but I thought I would write you a note of encouragement in French.
Bonjour! Je m’appelle Amelia. Je suis etudiante de francais, aussi. ๐
Ruthie
Welcome, Amie!
Kelly
Bonjour Amelia!!!!
Thanks for the note of encouragement! ๐ How long have you been studying Francais?? ๐
Amelia
Kelly,
I have studied Franรงais for three years. Now, I am taking it at a community college nearby. Are you enjoying studying Franรงais? ๐
Deanne
Bonjour Kelly,
My daughter, Amelia has been taking French for three years. Randomly I can spell certain things in French. It spills over to your family even when you aren’t trying. Ha ha I took French a long long time ago. Enjoy your studies! ๐
Kelly
Wow!!! Three years!!! That’s so awesome! ๐ You’re probably fluent now!
I am very much enjoying it. It’s actually really addicting! haha!
Deanne, thank you!! I certainly will ๐
Ruthie
Hi Kelly,
Link to headbands does not work.
Dad
Thanks for the note on the link Ruthie. When Kelly looked at it, she realized that it is a subscription site, so the link does not work. We will try to fix that.
Lynn
I enjoyed this post. Michaela is still thinking of what language she wants to study. I am secretly hoping she’ll choose French. ๐
Dad
We are pretty partial to Spanish ourselves!
