Crackers in Bed

This is a picture by Norman Rockwell that I recently stumbled upon on Google images.  I absolutely love it!  It illustrates my teenage years very well....and for that matter....my adulthood, too!  Except for the fact that I have cat in place of the dog!  It is a desire of mine to own this one day, but I know that it will probably never happen.  Maybe I see I nice reproduction in my future...

School is back from the summer!


So the academic year is back in session for teachers in my neck of the woods! I just spent the past week trying to get my NEW art room put together! I have unpacked all my boxes and stored most of my supplies away. I still have a few things that need to go in my storage closet, but I am waiting on a metal storage rack that should be in by Friday or Monday. All teachers will back for in-service on Tuesday. So, needless to say, my long days of rest, reading (for pleasure), sewing and quilting are long gone for a few months! I'll still be doing these things, but much slower than I did this summer! I am hoping that this is going to be a great year! I am working on finishing up my mother-in-law's quilt, which I started in November 2009, before I start and finish anymore projects! I will also be working on Carter's baby quilt, too! I'll post pics of both soon!
