Bad Blogger

Okay, so I've been a bad blogger. I'm not sure where the time has gone. My head is forever buried in school books and homework. I thought I was going to get a bit of a break this summer. My stinkin' science class sucks! I don't plan on teaching science so why in the h*** do I have to take it!!

I've been teaching sewing classes everyday in the mornings so that keeps me busy as well. All my students have been very productive and I have not. When I do have spare time I making up my class samples. I've not done anything I want to do. Sad.

Oh and that dumb math class that I cried about all spring, I got an "A"!! Not sure how. I think the teacher seen that I was persistent and had good attendance. I'm guessing she felt sorry for me after I told her that I have a 4.0 gpa and that her class was going to kill it. LOL

Things are going well here besides being busy. Jim is redoing my backyard. I'm so thrilled. I'm geting a few decks and a new patio and an outdoor kitchen. It's tough with an acre property. Too much to fillup and too stinkin' expensive.

I've also been working on my purse patterns. I finally got a program that I can understand. I had adobe illustrator and that sucked. Too hard to use. So this weekend I got Visio and within 5 minutes I had one of my purse patterns laid out. Now my big job is to find a printer that can print from the Visio software. Once that is done then I'll do photo shoot with my prototypes, print out the instructions and package the pattern. I'll take a week to visit some quilting and fabric stores in the So. Cal area. Hopefully the store owners will love them and buy them.

So, that is me and my last couple of weeks in a nutshell. The kids, Val, Daniel and Nathaniel, will be coming up Thursday afternoon to stay for the weekend. I can't wait to see Nathaniel enjoy his first 4th of July.

Hope all is well with you!
Hugs,
Marlo

Time just flies! I can't believe it's July already! It sounds like you have gotten a ton done! Same ole Marlo McBoing Boing.

I hate science too. Ick. My kids love it. I think they make it fun at their school.

Your purse patterns sound like a fabulous idea. I bet the stores will love them! I hope you'll post them here when you get them all packaged so we can admire them!

Enjoy your 4th with that cute grandbaby of yours!
