Q Week

It was Q week in Kindergarten, and the teachers asked if I’d visit the class and talk about quilts for awhile.

I like Kindergarten — they are so cute and sweet.

Of course, I don’t think I’d like it if I had to be there all day everyday, but for a short visit it was great.

There are 2 teachers, but they share one big room and do most of the in-room stuff together.  They split for things like music, art, PE.

You can see some goofballs that had to get in on both pictures.  I do feel badly that the teachers are headless bodies.  But they aren’t as cute as the kids.

When I arrived they were doing the Hokey Pokey.  Myfavorite was when the put their TONGUES in.  You try it, you have to sing the verse with your tongue sticking out.

They were a pretty talkative, but they listened, and asked questions, and I think they enjoyed my visit.  I took quilts that either had blocks (or applique) that looked like something (like my snowman row quilt and my watermelon log cabins), or they were quilts that my boys had a connection with (their baby quilts, they quilts they’ve helped make).

My boys are still CUTE, but they aren’t SWEET like Kindergartners.  At least, not most of the time.

Have a great night!

Suzanne

p.s.  You are welcome for the Hokey Pokey earworm.  Did you try it with your tongue sticking out?  Come on!  I know you want to!

    Oh man, I love looking at pictures like this because you can totally pick who all the kids are going to be when they’re in high school! I see at least 2 cheerleaders (the blonde will make captain even though the brunette is better) Kid in the back is totally going to art school to make sculptures out of found objects And that pensive kid in the plaid? He’s totally going to turn into me

    Yes, I tried the Hokey Pokey with my tongue out as soon as you mentioned it…..isn’t human nature amusing?:)

Instagram post 2199526741171727407_15732201 I dug out an unfinished cross stitch project a few weeks ago and have been working on it in the evenings. It’s an old Lavender and Lace design from 1989 called Angel of Light. (I wouldn’t have started it that long ago, but it is probably around 20 years old... ). I’m glad I took a picture when I started, because I didn’t think I had gotten much done. I mean, I still have a lot to do, but I have definitely made progress in two weeks! #crossstitch #lavenderandlace

Instagram post 2198884817750437164_15732201 I was at a workshop yesterday and one of the first things the speaker said was “The smartest person in the room is the room.” That’s how  I view the community of artists I am part of here on IG and with @getmessyartjournal and @the_painted_diaries and @everythingartuk and the various other challenges I have taken part on this year — these are my “rooms” and I think we are all smarter because of those connections. Except for the part where I keep forgetting you have to reverse things when carving stamps. 🤪#carvedecember #suzanne_365 #suzannegetsmessy #getmessyartjournal
Instagram post 2198318837210935461_15732201 The prompt was the free writing — I used an inktense pencil to journal about a decision that we are trying to make, scribbled in layers and in different directions. And then I spritzed it with too much water, so I blotted with a paper towel. And TBH, this is exactly what the decision making process looks like. #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal #getmessyartjournal #suzannegetsmessy

Instagram post 2197690835112539827_15732201 This was an experiment. My eyes were closed and I slowly moved the pencil across the page while I was breathing following a pattern.(I used my other hand to feel where the edges of the page were so that I didn’t fall off, so to speak). It was interesting. I might try something like this again, but with some modifications. #kasiasadventcalendar #suzannesadventjournal
