I am on a bit of a rainbow sewing streak today, but not with my beautiful aqua scraps. Instead. I have finally acquired enough felt to make our homeroom flags for school. I used to get felt from Joann's, so this year had to scramble a bit. Amazon and Michaels both had felt yardage available, but a few of the colors came from separate vendors and the shipping was extra. They aren't a school approved vendor, and that caused a few wrinkles, but eventually, with persistence, I was able to acquire felt! So today I will turn these into flags before school starts on Monday. It is just a bit of quick cutting and one L shaped seam for each flag to make a pocket for the flagpole. It should go pretty quick.
School starts on Monday. It has been a busy few weeks. I used to just go to preplanning and sit while other people presented before getting my own work done. Now, I am the one presenting, and that takes a bit more effort. Then teachers need things, and I get busy helping and supporting them. But now the kids will be back, and once the teachers are in their classroom teaching, I can get back to getting some of my work done. That is the idea anyway. I will let you know next week how that goes.

Your school is so lucky to have you! Have a wonderful school year!
Wishing you a great start to the school year! I miss teaching but not all the other non-teaching expectations that seem to be taking over these days.
The loss of Joann's is felt in so many ways - I'm still sad that they closed! Glad you were able to find what you needed, though. I bet the teachers in your building really appreciate all you do for them. Have a great beginning to the school year, Angela!
You must show some examples of the home room flags. Such as interesting idea. It's hard to think of schools starting already, but teacher in-services are beginning next week around here. Hope you have an awesome year!
I'm interested in seeing your finished HR flags! I so enjoy coming to this page on Saturday and seeing all the aquamarine projects!
I have had fun working with my Aquas
Hard to believe it's back to school already. For the first time in 20 years, ours isn't heading back to school. Seems weird.
Have a great back-to-school! Our local students will start this Wednesday, but I won't be joining them again this year. Retirement is the best.
Do you keep/store what you've made in the past or do you make new each year?
