Sunshine

We, teachers, are counting the days until spring break.

Yes indeed we are.

 

I catch myself being really short this time of year.  The weather is starting to warm up and everyone is itching for a reprieve.  I try to remain as patient as I possibly can.  But just this morning I caught my blood pressure rising after one of my little friends put that hat back on his head as soon as I turned around even though I just told him to take it off.....

I mean, seriously.  It was just a hat.  What's my deal?

 

Carolyn just gave me a sunshine award.  I decided I needed a little sunshine in my life.  Instead of answering questions,  I snapped a few photos of my daily work routine on my phone. This is a pictorial answering of questions.  Sort of.  Besides, I don't think I'd ever be able to pick a favorite color.  That would be like a mother having to pick a favorite child.   

Afterwards, as I flipped through my photos, I noticed my blood pressure lowering.  I really do have a fun job.  Look at what I get to work with all day.  Fun stuff.   

 

There's no shortage of projects at work.  I was starting to feel a little down on myself about my shortage of sewing projects lately.  Never a dull moment at school.

This was a really nice reminder of how lucky I am to be able to make a living from my passion: creating.

 

  And later in the day, I didn't even raise an eyebrow when another one of my little friends decided to paint his neighbor's face instead of his paper.

 

Ok, well maybe I did raise an eyebrow.

 

 

Or two. 

 

But you get the idea.

 

 Thanks, Carolyn!

I needed that.

Because you all bring a little sunshine to this sewing blogiverse.

On a side note, if you gave me an award in the past couple of months and I didn't post a formal blog response, I apologize.  Thank you so much.  I really, really do appreciate it.
