Back to School 2011

Olive: "Momma, take my picture like this!"
Me: "Um, okay."


Last week Olive's new preschool teacher came out for a home visit. Olive was digging for "school 'plies" in her purple sparkle Caboodle when she came across a rubber snake. "WELL THAT DOESN'T BELONG IN THERE!" she declared as she absent-mindedly cast it aside, right into the young woman's lap.


Olive is going to do just fine, but I think we may already owe the teacher a bottle of nice wine.

As for the dress: I found the main fabric at a quilt shop in Santa Fe. It's fully lined with a pale blue-grey solid.


Off she goes tomorrow. It's only 8 hours a week, but I'm still going to miss her terribly. How fast they grow...

Why I Didn't Touch My Sewing Machine for Five Months

Way more fun than sewing, anyway.
