Monday beauty...

After months of failing to post my gratitude list, it's time to recount where I've been, what has happended and how great my life is.

#81~eight weeks of school beginning to fall into a groove~

#83~cutting Caleb's hair!

#84~teaching two beautiful women to sew!

#85~a class full of middle school girls that inspire me each time we get together and I review what nap and warp are and why we sew and how we put one pant leg inside the other and then sew the crotch up to make a pair of pajama pants!  I love my class!  We're playing a game I created, "Who can thread their needle first?"  On your mark, get set, GO!

#86~  fall planting and BEEUTIFUL COMPOST that has turned into the most amazing smelling dirt!  I love dirt, especially dirt that reminds me of my Alden farm dirt...amazing!
