Whenever the talented Alicia from Posy Gets Cozy puts out a kit or pattern, you can be sure that I buy it. Her kits include high-quality supplies and excellent, charming instructions. This summer I had a lot of fun sewing her Summerhouse Seat Cushion pattern, and I plan to make similar cushions for our hodge-podge dining room chairs.
In unrelated news, today was my first teaching day of the semester. Whew! Was it ever hot in my classrooms. I have some familiar faces in a few classes, which always makes for a nice start. Whatever complaints I may have when I'm overwhelmed by grading later in the semester, rest assured: I love my job. I feel so fortunate that I get to talk about writing and encourage young writers for a living.
What do you love about your job?
Honestly, I love that I’m leaving my current bank job in a week to return to being the registrar at an art college. I love art students and, although the job is anything but creative, the environment is and I find it completely inspiring.
We visited Hannah yesterday for her birthday and it was SO hot in her dorm room. I think it will cool down next week, though. She said she thought maybe she passed you on campus but she wasn’t sure. I encouraged her to come by and meet you during your office hours.
That seat cover is so cool! I really like the bright fabric.
I leave work feeling like I’ve done something powerful for the planet. It is a good feeling 🙂
