I Spy No Water

We have our own well and for some reason our pump is broke.  Stephen spent all day trying to fix it himself only to have spent a lot of time and money on all the parts that weren't the problem.  We use water for SOOOO many things....

  • Laundry
  • Dishes
  • Cooking
  • Bathing
  • Brushing Teeth
  • Watering Gardens and the Yard
  • Washing Hands
  • Giving water to the Dog
  • Cleaning the Bathrooms
  • Even just water to USE the Bathrooms

We just take water for granted.  SOOOOO since I can't really clean I decided to work on a little project.

I got an I Spy Quilt kit from a friend and since it doesn't require water, I think I will finish up the top today....

Quilt There are soooo many fun blocks, this is just a little portion of them.  Not only could you use it for the I Spy Game but you could use it for writing practice with the older kids.  I could tell them to write me a story using a certain row of blocks.  I'm always looking for writing starters in the summer.  It's even fun to just look at! 

Oh how I love this time of year and all the projects to get ready for Christmas.  I'm really excited about a few that I have going right now.  Thanks again Amy for the quilt kit!  If you are interested in a kit email me and I will give you Amy's contact info.

  2. My parents have their own well. When I was 13, the pump went out. Things just kept on going wrong, so we were without water for 3 weeks. My older sister was married and living nearby so we were able to her house for showers. I will never forget those weeks! Love the writing idea! Hope your well is fixed soon!
