Hello to those of you who read this blog! How's it going? Well, I thought I would post about how I finished some projects other then scarves. The lastest are these red booties that would be perfect for a baby elf. They were made for a baby who was just born yesterday (Welcome Alice!). She decided to come the same day we were going to go to her baby shower!
A while ago, I decided I needed a long-term project while I was in grad-school, and that is how the Knitted Quilt came about.
And then there is our ever-evolving garden of potted plants. Here is an aster I planted as a seed. Chris and I were both very proud with how it came out. 
As for my career as a Special Educator, it isn't always so simple, but then I always knew it wasn't going to be. I did "win" a little "battle" and the district allowed us to have our school's Fall break for the next too weeks. It's a long story, but I am happy that common sense won in this case. It will benefit all involved, especially the students. I just don't really trust that it is true and am waiting for it to be in writing. Always have it in writing, Girls and Boys. Oh, and I'm happy to announce that I don't look like a Special Education teacher. Friday evening over a few beers with Chris, my coworker and her boyfriend, I informed him I was the SpEd teacher, and he responded with a shocked, "Really?" I guess Special Education teachers have stereotypes of their own. :)
