so, back during a break from school i dyed my brown hair black. then school ended and i tried blonde so i could go purple, but it wouldn't take. my lovely girl told me i shoulda stripped it first, but eh, what do i know? so i went red. been fun but i couldn't see the red! everyone else could and commented constantly about HOW RED my hair was. but i couldn't see it. kinda like how i look in the mirror and still see my skinny self. <3
so, school is starting soon and i decided to go back to brown. we can't have the kiddo's distracted by my WAY RED hair, now can we? so, got me a box of brown and it turned my hair BLACK! JET BLACK! so, now what? my husband says it's sexy, my children like it, but what about roots? always gonna be black...guess i have to pay if i want it brown again. :)
with school starting soon and trainings and getting a new classroom set up, imma gonna miss all my creative ~me~ time, as once school starts, my creativity is channeled into making awesome creative lesson plans to keep the kids engaged and growing. now that i'll be teaching second grade instead of middle school, gotta be even more engaging as the big kids are engaged well enough by dialogue, but the littler ones need more external/kinestetic stimulation. brain gym, here we come!
anyway, made some pendants. decided to use up my various sizes of silver wire and made these wrapped pendants. random goodies from grab bags and trades. creamy sari silk yarn in various lengths. fun, fun. xoxo
I can't believe that it's almost time for you to go back to school already. I bet it does take a hole other kind of creativity once you're back in it and you're probably right about the physical aspect with the younger ones.
ReplyDeleteWhen i first started beading I was running heavy equipment for my job and just a tray full of beads would relax me. If I was really tired I would just sort them and on some occasions I would actually get some pieces made. Thus my journey began.
i know, right? it's been fun getting ready and i will have to runs my fingers through the buttons to remind me they are waiting for me. :)
