Okay, I am going to try to post something with more frequency than once a week....however, for the next week and a half, I do have to be here at work, trying to teach the students a last few bits of vocabulary and grammar before the lovely, long summer!! It is difficult to do all the end-of-the-year paperwork (label all furniture in classroom, box all books, send final grade for this student here and that student there, attend a graduation information meeting, and a baby shower for this person, and a memorial for that person....) UGH! I just want to give the end-of-year tests, grade them, and head off for the summer! I have much reading, sewing, swimming, and rockin-&-rollin' to do! And my quest to find new love---I mean, it is possible, right? I have housewife dreams, people! I am not strangely fat or ugly---I am fun---I am responsible----I love children and I make badass food when I have the time.....I read all these crafty-mama blogs with a slight bit of envy, really. How did they get to be where they are? With husbands and children and time to sew quilts and share recipes? Can't any of you tell me what actions I can take to land me in your position?

Here is beautiful Olive in a little dress-smock I sewed from a cool vintage pillowcase! I have made her quite a supply of little smocks and one lovely halter sundress that I must force her mama to photograph so I can post them.....More later!
