It Is Just So Exciting Around Here

Over Spring Break, I did some reorganizing of stuff. One of the things I did was move my fabric. I had all of it in three soft boxes. They lived next to my side of the bed. I couldn't get to the fabric very easily, unless I wanted to dig it out. I decided to clean out my laundry room closets, and store my fabric there. I think I mentioned in a previous post, that first I had to clean out all of the boys' play-doh and art supplies. I then had to get rid of that very distinctive play-doh smell. I sprayed some Betsey Johnson perfume inside, and left the doors open. Good news! The smell is gone! My fabric fits! Room to spare!

Here's the empty cabinet-can you smell the play-doh? Strong huh?

Ta da! Here's my material, neatly put away inside. I think I could open a fabric store. Why is it, with all of that fabric, that I don't have the color I am looking for? The space at the bottom is for my extra sewing machine. I haven't traded her out yet. The new one is still in the box. I really need to get it out and play with it.

Word of the Day: 3 + 2 = 7 (I realize that's not a word). I really can't talk about these tests I have to give to my students. I will say this though...that problem up there. It gives me a headache every time. The equal is not in the test. In its place is a box. The students have to choose a symbol to make the sentence true: =, +, >, < .  Many pick =. I watch in horror as they do, powerless to do anything about it. When they leave the classroom, I bang my head against the wall.
