School Time!

Every year I look forward to summer vacation; swimming, getting up late, not looking for socks in the morning....
And every year, I look forward again to the first day of school; quiet mornings, getting my housework done, fall...  I love fall!  I can't wait for the weather to turn cooler and the leaves to start dropping.  I really enjoy taking walks in our beautiful neighborhood and even more so when the weather is cooler! 
   That being said, when it came to the kids this morning, we weren't all on the same sheet of paper.  Some were really excited and some ...not so much..  First day of high school is Definitely not the same as the first day of middle school!  However, I am sure by the end of the week, things will have calmed down a little and everyone will be used to the new schedule.
     As for me, I am putting an ad up today to teach some of my skills. I sew, crochet, quilt and design, and most recently, I knit.  I love creating!  The things that I make are mostly my own design.  I get some of my ideas from nature and some are part of someone else's design that I have changed to suit my own creative whimsy or to best serve a need.  I am an analyst so that means my mind is always thinking of the best way to do something; or even just a better way to do something..   This year, however, I have decided that I need to pass these skills along.  There are so many people out there that long to know how to do these things and have no idea how to learn or even who to go to.  I don't know how many times someone has admired something I have made and said "I wish I knew how to do that!"   A whole generation of people out there never learned from parents or grandparents, the skills that most of the baby boomer generation were able to learn from family and friends.  So I am going to start changing that!

    Next stop, the class room!

Happy School Season everyone!!
