Back to School

I always admired the kids in school that had the BIG box of crayons...the 64 colors (but, then, I also admired the kids that had cool shoes and curly hair).  Looking back, I probably should have been admiring the kids that did well on their spelling tests and always had their homework.  But since there is no going back, these little finger puppet crayons are my homage to "Back to School".  They don't break or melt and are very simple to sew.  One for each finger and a little carrying case...no sharpener needed.

Off to Middle School...Good Bye Super Heroes

My grandson, Joe, is off to Middle School. I believe he is a little anxious about the transition, not knowing exactly what to expect. But he is sure about one thing...a Middle School student cannot have a "Baby Room". So, we are cleaning, painting, bringing in a new desk, a recliner (yard sale special), and new bedding. And it's out with the Spiderman sheets, the Incredibles rug, the Batman clock (and lamp), the retro wall posters, and my favorite, the Pez Shadow Box (above). I can't even count the number of convenience stores I had to go to to find the different Pez Super Heroes. Good Bye baby room...Hello Middle School!
