First Days of school.

Well, the first day of school was great, no tears, well, not by the little student!! Can't say the same about Mom and Dad. I remember when my first one went to school, and the the last one two. I went home and cried, I missed them so much!!! It was hard on me, as I was a stay at home Mom, and although sometimes it was nice being alone, I had not been alone for some time, and it was hard to get used to that!! As the last one went to school, I taught myself to sew. Since there was not anyone around to show me, it was a struggle at first, but then I learned, and sewed until my daughter was in high school and learned to sew for herself! I wish sometimes that I had kept up with that very special talent, but alas I have not sewed anything for some time. I have purchased a few patterns though, and have it in mind that I will make some cloth purses. I have recently found out how to put pictures on cloth, and want to try it out. Hopefully soon. I need a deversion to keep my mind off the up coming dental appointments. Something I really hate going too!! I guess there aren't too many people who do!!! Anyway, I got away from the subject. The second day of school, there were some tears from the little one when Mom was to leave. I guess he managed though, and the rest of the day was fine. Oh, they grow up much too quickly!!! :-) Antique Rose

  1. hi Rose,
    My oldest grandson started first grade yesterday. YOUR so correct about how fast they grow-up, seems like only yesterday I was sending his Mom to school.
    As for the sewing, my Mother taught herself to sew by making baby clothes for us, trial and error until she got it right . She sewed for many many years, made me & my sisters clothing even in our high school years ( in the 1970's ) and she sewed my wedding dress when I was married at 19, she was quite talented. But finally as she aged she had to give it up as her hands had arthritis badly.
    I think your sewing project, the purses sounds lovely. Handmade bags are so much in style these days. Good luck sweetie, can't wait to view one you make :)
