Cycle 1 Geography Cards

**EDITED for new 5th Edition**

The school year is drawing to a close. I've already purchased books for next year and I'm excited about starting school again in the fall. This happens every year about this time. I'm way more excited about starting next school year than I am about finishing this one! The kids are ready to be done, too. Their activity level has been especially high the last few days. It's already VERY hot outside in the Florida sun, so our outdoor time typically involves water or it's just too hot.

With my excitement about next year and starting Cycle 1, I've been working on Geography Cards for next year. I've completed weeks 1-12 so far. I hope these bless you and your family.

5th Edition Cycle 1 Geography Cards, Weeks 13-24

Peppermint Swirl Dress

Almost everyone who knows me personally knows that I love to sew. My mom used to make beautiful dresses for me when I was little and she started teaching me to sew when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Now that I have two little girls of my own to make dresses for, I put my sewing skills to good use quite often.

I saw the pattern for this dress online and just fell in love. It's so deliciously twirly! You can buy the PDF and see several beautiful versions of this dress here.

One of my daughters is always coming downstairs dressed in a pink shirt and red pants, or a pink skirt and a red shirt. She loves pairing pink and red. While I don't mind what she wears around the house, if we're going somewhere with the expectation that we look halfway put-together, I try to help her find something that matches a bit better than pink and red. So when I was at the fabric store choosing fabrics for this dress, I decided that I'd find a way to make it pink and red for my little miss.

This pattern comes as a PDF download including sizes 6 months - 10 years. Cutting out all the pieces (the skirt itself has 28 pieces and I had two dresses!) took awhile, but I was able to stack the fabric and cut through 4 layers at a time, so that helped. I did most of the sewing on my serger, and it honestly went pretty quickly. I absolutely adore the end result and I can't wait to use this pattern again.

Little Miss approves.

Whew! I have been so busy. I'm sorry it took me so long to get these up for you all! I just did weeks 7-10 for now because I figured it was better to get them up sooner rather than later and I just haven't had a chance to work on weeks 11-12. Enjoy!
