what's that? I have NO idea! I just finished 4 quilts, three wall hangings and a full size one. Three started years ago, and one new challenge quilt. I didn't even have time to take pictures, so will have to do that this Sunday at the opening of thte quilt show at the Rahr-West Art gallery in Manitowoc. I'll post them after that.
My student teacher is teaching full time now, but I am still helping to correct, and will do grades this week. We are getting along fine, now that we both have relaxed!
Now I have to think about Christmas. I hope that I can get the house cleaned and the Cmas things up during the next week. But not tonight. Tonight I am going to put fabric away in my new fabric closet. I don't have enough storage yet. DH is still working on that. He had quite a bit done. It is so cool!
More another time.

I've got her working!
After many false starts, learning things and starting again, I think I FINALLY have my baby up and running! I am totally antsy now to get to something REAL instead of a practice piece!!! I still sometimes have the thread break, and I am hoping that as I get better at it I won't hesitate and things like that that I think is causing me some of the problem. I finally have the tension OK. I had to loosen the bobbin tension a bit to get that. Now she is working really well! =-)
DH is putting woodwork around the doors down here right now. As soon as he finishes that, he will build/put up my storage spaces. I wanted him to do the woodwork because I can't put things back into the file cabinet until the woodwork is behind it. I can get rid of about 8 boxes right there. And be able to find some things, too. It will be great to have ALL of the storage once it gets in. My drawers aren't here yet. We ordered a kitchen set of drawers that will be perfect to put fat quarters in by color. I couldn't get that in the "cheap" cupboards, so we went with one that was more expensive. I am glad that DH agrees with me that we should do it the way we want right away.
Our bathroom down here is in now. I still have to get the towel bar, etc., which I plan to get out of a catalog. But everything is in as far as the plumbing. We can use the toilet and sinks. I am going to be so glad to have the deep untility sink. It is a porcelain one. I will be able to use it for socking reed, and clean up of things. It'll be great!
I wish some little elves would come at night and finish the work. I think DH wishes that, too!
Last night we watched a movie that Rich had bought. Called "Uptown Girls," I think. I started to cry at one point and had a crying jag that just wouldn't quit. I don't know what all brought it on, but I just sobbed and couldn't stop. I haven't cried for a really long time. Rich said maybe I just needed a good cry. He just held me. So now today I am OK. Weird. The movie had a sad part, but I don't know that it was THAT sad! Maybe I was crying for me as a sad little girl.
