So...Aside from sewing, crafting, and eating nachos I have another addiction---school.  Not much time passes between my enrollment in school of one kind or another.  After graduating from a local university I began using my degree teaching art and history.  (A job that I LOVED.)  During my second year of teaching I discovered a night class that another university offered that I could attend and earn a degree in special education...and before I knew it I had finished the course and was off to ...

 Awhile ago I was cleaning out some old clothing bins of mine (a never ending project it seems) when I ran across one that included a bunch of old skirts that I wore the first year or two I taught school.  They were long, frumpy, and totally from the turn of the century...back when I was partying like it was 1999.

I am busy getting some Christmas outfits made for the kids.  First up is Isaac's.  Well, I still have his button-front shirt to make....but I am considering it almost done.The cardigan is the Greenpoint Cardigan pattern from Hey June, which I am in love with on him.  I think this is my third or fourth Greenpoint Cardi and I am not stopping anytime soon.  I have now made them for all the kids (I will show you a chevron one soon).And Isaac's pants are part of Andrea's A Go To Christmas and were ...
