Add caption

well, dropped my camera and it quit working so these are the pictures you get!  i even included my i.d. tag in the top two!  and the first picture is me rushing to shut the door in the 10 sec. self timer shot, hah!  i also have a coldwater creek burgandy jacket, in case it gets chilly:) not likely with these HOT jr. high students that i teach and this FABULOUS weather we are having!  have a great weekend! 

outfit 37--fav red shirt and new fabric flower

one of the only times i have splurged and paid full price for a shirt at lane bryant--it is because i didn't want to risk it being gone by the time they went on sale or clearance.  i love it and it is so, so comfortable.  maybe i flatter myself, but i think it flatters me:)

making a dress out of the hounds tooth knit (can't wait!) with the leftovers made this fabric flower corsage.  the third and largest flower is made out of a vintage trim i found at DI.  i just pleated it around into a circle and hot glued it! 

love my soft leather dansko mary janes--i bought them several seasons ago and haven't seen them available again:(

outfit 35--i love pearls and dressbarn sweater $1

i am particular fond of my facial expressions in these pictures,

it shows the mood i might have been--

this year i end my teaching day in a particularly rough way

and some days it makes me grumpy

it makes me grumpy because i do the best i can to help them learn,

i want my students to do they best they can to learn,

and sometimes it seems these two things aren't meshing well--

(i hope it doesn't sound like i am complaining)

i have started two sewing projects: can't wait to have the energy to finish them:)

weather wise i had the best both of worlds

--snow in morning, sun in afternoon--

that is my favorite utah weather pattern
