Teaching and Teaching!

Today I got my Online class project ready for video taping tonight. Then the girls came over and since it was raining they decided that they would like to go to the new library. So we thought maybe they should have some library tote bags to bring with them.
So they picked their fabric, their die cuts from Sizzix for their applique and then we went to work.
Audrey was having a hard time standing still, on the top right you could see where she was saying " stand right here Nana?"

Jenny, is loving that she is old and big enough now to iron things. She is really getting better and she is starting to love sewing more and more. She is beginning to read and so excited about that!

Angie is good and truly has an eye for anything she creates too! And she is also an avid reader!
I love teaching them though...hope they don't ever get too old to come create with their Nana!

 

When they went to the library, Jeff and I video taped some, but even with them gone... we still had the phone ring twice, then I actually got the top of my head in the camera for one whole session ( of course we didn't realize that till it was too late ) so tomorrow I will remake a another tote bag to that exact point and we will try to refilm it. We are so close I can almost feel it!

 So tonight, I will wash this same outfit one more time and put it back on with a smile and retape again! I have just one question...are we having fun yet?
Information to anyone who wants to do online classes in the future...
Save up more money ...because you will probably need 3 cameras instead of just 1, because you will need a better and faster computer and because you will probably like to hire someone to help you record and edit all of this,,, other than your family. It's a lot of pressure!
Just in case you were wondering!

But I like this quote... maybe I should copy it and put it on my wall in the studio :)
Good night dear friends!

A better day today!

I decided after this weekend and feeling so tired ...that I had to get my act together this week. The problem is that I am going through Menopause and the hot flashes and chills are getting ridiculous at night, so sleep is hard to come by.
I know I can't complain and I know I am not the only one to go through this part of life. But man I am beat!!! So when I wake up tired, it is hard to do very much.
Still now that I have doubled my work hours, it is vital that I get on top of this! Plus, I am doing a few Baby Showers at my home so...my house needs to be clean.

However, I got a bit more sleep last night and so today... I felt better. It felt great to cook, clean, do laundry, bills and grocery shopping. I even cleaned my car today! Hopefully tonight will be good too! I have got a whole lot more cleaning, sewing, planting and organizing to do.

I am hoping to get my online classes going soon, seems like it has taken a back seat lately since I have been doing some family stuff, and working on new classes. I hope to get back to finish decorating the studio soon.  I did buy two more items for it though, so I haven't given up on it!
Both of these quotes made me think of my Quilting Classes and how I need to follow this dream of mine.
Good Night dear friends!
