It's coming...again


Winter after winter I always say if it's going to be cold and windy, it might as well snow.
After all, snow can only come a few months out of the year.
This week it's cold and windy...and it not only did it snow on Saturday...it's going to snow again. Look what's coming my way:
And in case your not familiar with me..I pretty much live in that purple dot.

:) this is a happy girl :)

Can you call it a hobby if it stops?

I switch hobbies and interests way too often, which is one reason I wasn't sure if blogging would be good for me in the long run. I thought it might be something that comes and goes a month later. However I can say that it's a number of months later and I'm still here. One thing stays constant: my desire to be creative and create/make things. I love seeing the final products especially when they can then be used/worn/etc.

Anyway:
Last Spring I was into making Jewelry
In June I said Hello! digital scrapbooking--where have you been
June-August--jewelry & digital scrapbooking
September-ways to make money like Amazon Payments, designing blog backgrounds ohh and of course BLOGGING
October-Blogging remains, but everything is pushed to the side
November-January: hit a few blogging slumps, but I keep swimming
January: writing Children's Ministry curriculum & videos?!?! AND teacherspayteachers.com
February: here I am--blogging, making curriculum

but wait---what's this? [intro new hobby]

sewing.

quilts, dresses, bags
you name it--I want to do it. I saw this AWESOME book on things you can make with 1 yd of fabric. YES! 1 yard. Can  you say Cheap-o?!? Now I'm on the hunt for fun things to make. and luckily its snowing outside so I've got lots of time on my hands. I think this idea secretly started because I thought about asking for a sewing machine for Christmas. Nothing too fancy, but one that will get the job done. I think my hesitation is that I'm afraid this hobby will come and go like all the others. Don't get me wrong, I still like to do all of the other things of the past year, but only really when there is a need or a purpose.

I can't wait to see what happens. I am itching to start stitching--okay okay I know lame, but it's 1am, the guys are playing PS3 and well I was a kindergarten teacher first and I like to rhyme. enough said!

One of those days...

Today was one of those days...That every teacher needs once and awhile.
*It was one of those days that fills your 'teacher cup'
*It was one of those days that reminds you that you can REALLY do this
*It was one of those days that was much needed and VERY much appreciated
*It was one of those easy easy days that every teacher dreams of.
*It was a 2 hour delay...and an afternoon assembly.
....sigh....
[every Wednesday should be one of those days]
