This week I don't have pictures to share of my project. Here is what I did...
I have had a box under my desk at school for almost a year now. Sad little secret! It was filled with all the stuff I didn't have time to deal with last June when school was over. I kicked it every day when I did grading or any other thing at my desk.
Finally, I took the time to clean it out. There was a lot of stuff in there...I found my vacation folders and absent folders, half of it was garbage, another bit was shred, and then there was all my little treasures from last years students - aww :)
Best thing I found: my 8 ball (now I can ask w=questions again)
Worst thing I found: a cookie from a year ago (little treasure)
Most interesting thing I found: bingo cards (6-what was I thinking?- they are the 'close the window' kind - guess maybe I am suppose to make something with them)
What I gained: leg room and it makes me smile when I notice it isn't there - priceless
My Nature squares are done and I am finally getting them posted - yeah!!
This is my sampler completed and framed - I framed it in black - but you can't see that part - I am really pleased to have gone through this process it was great to do something creative every day for a month - thanks to Amy Powers - tomorrow or the weekend I will post my nature sampler
I finished the last of my squares today.
these are some little rock treasures given to me by my students....
variety (coho) swims up the Cedar River in my town. If you go down to the library (which is built over the river) in the late fall you can watch them make their way upstream - I could watch them for hours (except it is too cold and usually raining). They are lovely and it is bittersweet to think they are swimming upstream to lay their eggs right where they were born only to die. Salmon are amazing - they go from sea water to fresh water - simply amazing!!
cut wheat - comforting and I can still taste the crunch of having a few grains. Unlike my siblings, I only drove truck for my uncle once. Dropped the clutch. I am not known for my great coordination ability :)
Happy Belated Easter to you all - we dyed eggs and had a grand time Eastering.
And then I finally made a decision about the last four squares - I wanted my sampler to only go through the month of March so I had to have the last squares sort of work together... don't be surprised if they look different tomorrow because there is another idea nagging at me...
I got hopelessly behind on my nature squares - mostly because I want to add some realia and can't do that until the end and so I wasn't sure how many squares to do...excuses, excuses...
