Nice day for some sewing.....

I started off the day by having breakfast at my favorite breakfast place....The Rise n' Shine Cafe.  They have the best biscuits and gravy.  One of the specials today was the country eggs benedict.  It was super delicious, a fresh-baked hot biscuit, sausage patty and a perfectly poached egg smothered in home-made gravy, sitting along side some home style potatoes.  I could not have asked for a better start to this beautiful day. 
So for the sewing......I cleaned up a bit, then proceeded to create some more teacher/artist tool belts.  I find the process very relaxing and creative.  So along with the beeping of the washer and dryer, I have spent some time in creativity. 
Summer school for me tomorrow, but only for a half day....then some sewing, then some summer baseball.   Love the summer.....

Teacher Tool Belts....








Out of need comes inspiration.....I need certain things to be super handy during the school day....white board markers, a green marker, a yellow marker, band-aids, my keys and especially my glasses.  I was always asking my kindergarteners where my stuff was.  They must think I am old and feeble.  So, one day I saw one of the first grade teachers wearing what looked like a carpenter's(not cute) belt with her stuff in it.  I asked to see it and that is where my beautiful teacher tool belts were born.  So for the last 2 weeks, I have not lost a thing and my "tools" are exactly where I need them.  They are gaining popularity with the other teachers and I have actually sold a few.  If you are interested email me and I can give you  details and then you can get one of your own.   Happy Weekend:)
