Crafting into Spring Break

Last week Joe had off for spring break. It was really nice to have him home. We didn't really do anything. To be honest, we spent our time sitting side-by-side on the couch doing crafts. I was working on a cross-stitch project (which I almost nearly completed in a week), and Joe was finishing up this little beauty. It's for my dirndl. I am so proud of it, though he couldn't convince me to wear it to our Jensen family Conference party. He modeled it well enough for the both of us. Hopefully we'll get some more pictures of it; the camera battery died after he took this one, so we couldn't get a close-up of the flower. I love that I have a talented husband! And it doesn't bother me in the least that he enjoys doing crafts like this (though he is particular about who he will tell.) :) Now he is working on crocheting a lunch bag made out of plastic bags.

Joe is now back to work. He is really looking forward to the end of the school year. Just 7 more weeks left! I will enjoy having him home more.

As for me, I didn't finish my transcription training by my deadline. But I got close. Once my next paycheck comes in for subbing I can buy the extension and finish it, so then I can get a job and hopefully make some progress in that area. We shall see. Hope those that are on spring break now enjoy their vacation time!
