is what we are rowing this week.
The Wild Horses of Sweetbriar
We will be doing some fun activities this week. (You can get complete lesson plans by using Five In A Row. Of course we will be using our new acrylic paint set to try our hand at painting horses. We may have to cruise through some thrift stores and look for a horse barn and some horses to add to our doll house.
We started with special activities today by playing a go-along card game I purchased to help my daughter learn the various breeds of horses. It sure was fun!
Happy Rowing,
Lynn

I had so much fun painting the first picture last night, I just couldn’t stop. ~:-D My daughter said, keep painting, Mama. So I did. (She thinks I am an artist, which should fully tell you how little real art we’ve studied.)
My second attempt, and then I had to put the paints away. With this painting, I tried to just quickly paint my mood. That was really fun. It’s called Fall Garden. This has intensified my interest in getting my daughter some art lessons. I think she would appreciate it so much as she gets older and wants to fill her time with lovely things. I know I am wishing now that I had had some earlier in life.
So the doll house accessories…
Did we do too much pink? The canisters are bright, I know, but we are talking about dolls. I am not sure what we’ll do with the rose, but it’s pretty anyway. Some little friends of my daughter’s showed her how to easily make a rose from clay.
I like the clock.

About Lynn
I am the mother of four delightful children: a 23-year-old son, a 20-year-old son, a 17-year-old son, and a bright and bubbly 13-year-old daughter. I share an apartment home with my 17-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. My little home on the internet is called Rose Cottage because of my love for gardening, roses, and all things romantic and Victorian. Welcome.
I'm a North Carolina girl and I love sharing North Carolina links and information. I do medical transcription from home. My hobbies include making sweet little dolls from clay who are named and have their own stories to tell. I also make old-fashioned brooches. These are for sale in my Etsy shop.
For 13 years continuously, I homeschooled some or all of our four children, but the time came that our homeschool had to be closed. It was the end of a beautiful chapter in my life. I will always be a strong supporter of homeschooling and I will continue to review books and maintain my homeschool website, The Healthy Homeschool. The Players

My Symphony
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing
1810-1884
