First Day of School!

Posted by Som Wed, 23 Aug 2006 01:57:00 GMT

Ariana went to her very first day of preschool today.

By all accounts (hers and the teacher's,) it went very well. Her only complaint? "I didn't like laying down on that mats." Well, no surprise there.

Isabella's not in school yet, but I couldn't leave her out of the picture-taking this morning!

Crafty update: Well, the scarf and the sweater are taking a backseat for a while, resting on the needles, because I have a brand spankin' new sewing machine. I totally slaughtered my old one (hey, did you know you weren't supposed to take apart the lower mechanism to see how it works? Well, I didn't.) So now I have a lovely new machine with all kinds of buttons and levers and fancy stitches! Since the cat up and peed all over the last bag I made, I've decided to make a new one. Two, in fact, because hey, as long as I'm making one, I might as well make two. I'll be posting pictures of my two brand-new messenger bags (with embroidered mandalas on the flaps) pretty soon. I've got a lot more time to craft now, since Ari's in school and Izzy loves nothing more than "helping Mommy sew."

And this time, the cat's not getting near the bags. Installing a nice metal hook on the wall was Step Number One for this project.
