I have no doubt whatsoever that you're a fabulous teacher, and that you're doing your very best to fill their young impressionable minds with positive ideas. Your classroom signage efforts are proof enough. <br /><br />Your sewing room is looking great, and I appreciate knowing your thoughts on that table. I hope the fix to improve it is easy. You're so lucky to have a handy man in your house. (I don't!) <br /><br />As for an unflannelled design wall... that's a new concept for me. Where did you find WHITE insulation?! My only choice was pink, hence the batting and flannel covering it. What a super option for you. It's great!<br /><br />We appreciate you taking time from your busy schedule to post. You're a sweetheart.

I don't know how people who work do it to be honest. I never realized how much time blogging takes until I started a blog :*) I see you are making the Promises & Borders blocks - aren't they fun? I'm going to be sad for them to end soon. Enjoy your new changes to your sewing area - it all looks great!Teresa in Music Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650995129191593324noreply@blogger.com
