ScrapHappy Saturday - Brown, Black and Busy

 Barely a dent was made this week on brown and black.  Work is in high gear right now as the first quarter draws to an end.  
 Ryan has been busy with football and the school play.
 Anna is a goalie on the lacrosse team.  School has gotten busier too as she shifts from middle school to high school.  Even though her school didn't change, the expectations sure did.  There is a reason we've been rated one of the most competitive high schools in America.
Miss Sydney takes the prize for busy though.  She plays lacrosse in the same league as Anna, on a different team though, thankfully for Anna who wants some space.  Then there are piano lessons of course, and she has started viola.  She didn't want to be bored so she also joined book club and encore, which is the singing club at school.
So I guess I'm saying, there hasn't been a lot of sewing time lately.  I'm out of town this week and off school for three days, I'm planning to bring my machine and sew in my hotel in the evenings.  First though, I'm off to take Anna to an all day powerlifting match.  I'm going to grade papers while she isn't lifting.  Lots and lots of papers.
I'm looking forward to seeing lots of sewing related goodness today though, to hold me over until life settles a bit around here.

It's amazing how much busier we are when school is in session, doubly for you since you teach. Hope you find some time to go play with your scraps.

You are a very busy and productive lady, however before you know it they will get their drivers license and be independent (happened to me).

I so remember those crazy school days with my kids! So glad to see lacrosse is catching on everywhere; my youngest son played in high school and we had to drive all over the state to find teams to play.

Sounds like Miss Sydney takes after you in the keeping busy department...grading papers at the lifting match and sewing in a hotel room?!
