I found a stitching group AND I signed up for a stitching retreat!
There is a shop in Mauldin named Panda's Crossing. They have a stitching group the second Friday of every month and a UFO group every fourth Friday. AND they are having a Harvest/Halloween Retreat October 5-6. So I am signed up and excited! It's about a 30 minute drive, but so what!!
I've been working some on my pumpkin, but most evenings this week I have been to tired to do anything! Having my room and office at school SOOO unorganized is driving me crazy. So next Tuesday afternoon, a bunch of my girls are staying and we are going to really tackle getting everything done! I'm going to get material this weekend to cover some benches and chairs - really bright print with bright red, green, blue, and yellow. Red paint to paint the benches' wooden parts and a filing cabinet and gross desk. Some of them will work on filing the music that is sitting around in 125 boxes. I told them I would order pizza and we would just make a party of it. So, that should be fun - bonding and working!
The drum class meets RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO ME during my planning period, last hour of the day. OH MY GOODNESS!!! I can't even use the telephone. So, I went in there today and very sweetly asked them - after telling them how great they sounded- if it was possible to play softer when practicing. I told them I would bring them cookies or brownies every week if they would just do that for me. They were all about getting cookies and brownies and I could barely hear them after that. It will be so worth it to take them treats!!
Jeni and her hubby are coming in tomorrow. Momma thinks they are coming late Friday, but we are going to surprise her Friday morning at the Senior Citizens Center where she plays the piano everyday. I can't wait to see Jeni pregnant!
School today was...well I guess stressful covers it! But I am trying some new methods that I learned this summer to teach them to read music and even the kids are excited about it. So that is fun.
I think I shall go stitch!
Happy Stitching!

About Me

- I am a 58 year old high school choral music teacher. I have two grown children and one grandchild who live TOO far away and I miss them soooo much! Been x-stitching since 1975 - also enjoy knitting, sewing, scrapbooking, quilting...you name it! Sometimes it's hard to decide which thing to do! I'm excited to find that there are others out there who are as passionate about their stitching etc. as I am.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT...
We could learn a lot from crayons...
some are sharp, some pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names,
and all are different colors...
but they all exist very nicely in the same box!

Pumpkins..I love them!
Being a Christian is like being a
PUMPKIN !
God lifts you up, takes you in,
and washes all the dirt off of you.
He opens you up,
touches you deep inside,
scoops out all the yucky stuff--
including the seeds of
doubt, hate, greed, etc.
Then He carves you
a new smiling face and
puts His light inside you
to shine for all
the world to see.
Happy Fall!

Hope you have a fantastic time on the retreat! I've never been on one, but I'm promising myself I will next year, as a treat.
Its amazing what bribery and the promise of baked goods will get you.
A stitching group - woo-hoo! It sounds like school is starting to come together... Yea for you!
Lucky you, a stitching group and a retreat! Enjoy!
If I stitch very quietly will you send me cookies and brownies? LOL
Have a relaxing long weekend!
I joined a group on the internet, great fun! I would be interested to see some pics of the make-over!!
Thats really exciting. I have never done one before. xx
