Hi Everybody,
I had a busy week 2 of summer sewing and designing, but most of what I worked on is secret! Reveals can't be shared for awhile yet.
I am off today for a week long training in Denver. We, there are like 13 of us, are going to University of Denver to be trained on Problem Based Learning (PBL). Then, we will train other teachers in our school district on it. Usually when I head out of town, I bring sewing with me for evenings in my hotel like Bonnie Hunter, but we are carpooling. Therefore, luggage space will be a premium, so I decided to bring my Down in the Garden to work on. It will fit in my backpack. After the tedious drive, over I hope to sit in the A/C of our suite and drink some wine while I stitch the evening away. Sounds like a perfect way to participate in Slow Sunday Stitching
I also loaded up some books on my Kindle. I have had some questions about summer reading. If you want to feel like you are away at the beach without being at the beach, I recommend two authors Elin Hilderbrand and Nancy Thayer. They both write good chick lit stories that take place on Nantucket--you can't get more beachy than that!
Have a great week!
Tanya
Down in Garden looks so fun--can't wait to see all those cute blocks come together!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so bright and happy. Can't wait to see it all.

ReplyDeleteOh Tanya, I am very afraid that you are going to finish your DitG before me! Too many projects! But yours looks great, I love your fabrics. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your relaxing evenings with Down in the Garden. Hope the training goes well too.
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect sewing after a long day of training! (Good for you...I don't know if I'd be ready on week 3 to go to a week training!) Thanks for the book recom. I'm off to the public library tomorrow. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great plan Tanya. Good luck with the training and I hope you enjoy working on your Down in the Garden.
ReplyDeleteI am familiar with Nancy but not the other one...will have to check the library for her. Enjoy your week !

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a good plan for the stitching.
ReplyDeleteI hope the PBL training is interesting. It has the potential to be very useful.
I went for training on PBL and loved it. Changed my teaching style with all my students. Have fun learning and sewing!!!
