So there were some questions about the Beach Bag...I don't have it at the Homestead, so I'll grab it when I go back to the house for a better picture...It is made with Lily Sugar and Cream cotton, it is not a striping yarn, so there are ends and it is really tough on the hands...the pattern is called Jaunty Shells As it is crochet, it has left holes, hence the need for a lining....I made it years ago, but have yet to line it...I have used it as is on occasion...
Since I was setting up the classroom and attending PD, I didn't have a ton of time for crafting..and was exhausted most days. Slept 10+ hours one night!!! But I have done a few water bottle coasters...My room is extrememly hot all year, so the kids bring in water bottles. I've started making coasters for them. I have 7 made previously and made 3 more this week....just a simple crochet rectangle..
Oh and a quick picture of the two finished samples...they are on their way to their destination now...
So that is about it....first week of school, not sure if I'll get much done this week....we shall see....

All the best for the new school year. For us it's alreaday week 4. Regula
Hope you have a lovely weekend and that your first week goes well. We are back this week as well. I love the idea of the coasters for your students and your socks are very cute as well.
Wishing you a wonderful school year. I love our teachers. I love your socks . Great progress over the SUMMER!!!!!
Be extra nice to those of us who have school refusal. I was a big baby and cried all of kindergarten and first grade
Flexible sitting makes so much sense. I had many students over the years who just couldn't bear to sit in a desk. Blessings on the start of your school year. As a retired teacher I always view September first as the beginning of the year rather than January 1.
What a lovely classroom it sounds. A lovely idea to make some coasters. People are so funny and fixed about where they sit, I notice in my felting group and camera club people always sit in the same place. It will be interesting to see if the kids switch around or still find their spot they like best.
Good idea to male coasters for the kids bottles. Yo8r Christmas socks are really moving along. The monster mash sock is cool. Have a lovely school year.
Best wishes for this school year! My daughter started back 2 weeks ago and this past week the kids went back. That's in Iowa. She spent that week before the kids came back with meetings and getting her room(s) ready too. She's an art teacher for several schools.
Wow! You went to town on your socks! I need to get some Halloween yarn...love yours!
Glad you got some good rest. At least it's only a 4 day week! Happy Labor Day!
Best wishes for the new school year. The coasters are a great idea for the classroom. Your socks are really coming on and look fun.
