No school today for Parker, teacher work day, so I won't get much sewing done today. His best friend Jamie is coming over this afternoon and I plan to spend the afternoon tending to them and refilling my freezer with dinners for the coming month.


Since I'm trying to make this blog mostly about art, I'll share this recent piece of art that Parker brought home from school. He was so proud that he received a 4 on this assignment. I'm not sure what the grading system is for the schools around here. I grew up with the standard A, B, C, D, F scale. They seem to do 1, 2, 3, 4 with 4 being the best. According to Parker, 3 means that you followed the directions and 4 means you did more than you needed to. Regardless of the score, I love it!

Getting Ready for Halloween

This picture was taken a couple days ago. Parker is going to be the Wolverine for Halloween. There is no school today so I haven't gotten any work done and haven't had any time to play in my sewing room.

Parker and I had dentist appointments this morning too. Parker had a good check-up. I have a cavity and have to go back in two weeks.

Somehow I need to find time to get myself ready for guild tomorrow. I am teaching the guild how to make tote bags. Hope all goes well with the class!
