Back in the Game!

 Hello world!!!

LOL, it has been so long since I've really posted anything...what a year!  I have been on furlough from teaching since that crazy day, Friday, March 13, 2020.


At this point, I have been hired on as the full time handwork (or practical arts) teacher at my Waldorf charter school beginning in August.  This will be the very first time I have an actual handwork room, although I have not seen in what condition it is, it will be better than teaching out of a closet.  Onwards and upwards, ne c'est pas?  Although I will have a classroom,  I will NOT have an assistant, and with very full classes of between 30 and 40, I am not sure how great that will be, but I am willing to find out.  The school year begins the end of August and I have already started prepping in July so I am not slammed in August, although, I am sure I will still have challenges and late nights of prep.

So here is to somewhat new beginnings!

Quarantine Buddies

Just finished making some little friends for a couple of little ones that I know and love!
Simple pattern, I will post that later, but for now:

Weaving a vintage lawn chair

Well, I have not been so active on this blog, so let's get back! I will add student work from this year, but first a project I finished last weekend, super fun and I learned a lot. Next time, I would use softer non cotton macrame rope. I used a weaving trick on the edges, and that is easily looked up. Evidentely, I am not the only one who has done this...had I just looked it up, it would have saved me SO MUCH TIME.

Courage Day 2015 (aka Michaelmas)


The dragon came, and each of the 2 second grades faced their fears!  Our school now has 2 separate campuses, thus 2 Geaorge and the Dragon plays.  I help the 6th grade create the dragon for the play...the wings created by one of the classes was spectaculor!!!  At the end of the school day, we have a Courage day festival, with lots of feats of courage for all the kiddos!!!
