A few things I saw last week . . .


Some fun things I saw at our local diner and on a late afternoon stop at Pier One.

I don't really love shopping ...
but I do love 'poking around' a few favorite shops.

some fun things

Senior moments
heehee . . . I laugh in the face of them!



Friendship Pillow & Santa Apron
Pier One
If I can't make an apron like this in time for Christmas,
The elves will have to splurge!



It's very merry!



Pumpkin Pecan BiscottiGotta make these!

Deadlines?
Gotta blog about those!
One of these days ;o)




Apple Rosette Pie
I think that's so pretty...Am I up to the challenge,
who knows?




...and speaking of deadlines...
I have two totes filled with projects to correct!
First quarter is almost over... grades are due in next Tuesday.
What's Maria doing?
Daydreaming about a Mrs. Claus apron.


okay

Back to work!
*That was fun though*

  1. Oh, Maria, I had to smile at this post! I remember those days of deadlines and procrastination only too well...Hope your schoolbag is soon empty of work so you can make those biscotti (which I had to enlarge!) and that pie. I'll pass on the apron, but I think the pillow is fun. May have to take a stroll through a Denver Pier One!

  2. Oh, but daydreaming is such fun. It must be good for you too! I can't believe how that cake looks. I thought those were real roses.

  3. Maria, I hope you find time to make that apple pie and red apron, after your school deadline of course...the pie before Thanksgiving and the apron before Christmas! Two deadlines for you! :)

  4. 'Poking around,' that's what they call shopping these days?

  6. You are so sweet Maria...thank you for all the well wishes and prayers. I am slowly winning the battle but this nasty bug does like to take hold. I am wanting to be back to school by the end of the week...but I do want to make sure my terrible cough is gone as I know it will be spread to all my students. Sounds like you are amazingly busy...hang in there...keep dreaming of that cute apron! If I could sew I would make it for you but I am not gifted in that area at all!!!

  7. What fun Maria. I love getting a peek into your day dreams. That apron is amazing! And the biscotti - oh my!

    Now, time to correct those reports!

  8. Maria, you definitely need a Mrs. Claus apron!! If you don't make one, then please splurge and buy one. I am chuckling about the senior moment because I have quite a few of those!! I am glad you are taking time out to have some fun even if those projects to grade are still waiting. This is so important. One thing about tutoring at my school, I can leave everything and come right back to it the next day. No progress reports, report cards, perm records and so on. Did I mention I am loving retired life? I hope you have a beautiful week and thank you for your dedication to teaching our young ones, my friend. Vicki

  9. Cute, cute apron. I have a friend who is making aprons for Christmas presents. I need to send her that picture.

    BTW, I copied those words to the song off of a website and did not proof them--was embarrassed to see that there were typos so I went back and corrected it for you if you want to print it out RIGHT!

    Don't put off grading those projects. And don't do what I used to do. I would take my rubric and be so, so serious and strict about grading. By the time I got halfway through, I had let my standards down and had to go back and regrade the first half--smile!
