Busy! Busy!

Wow! It has been a while since I posted. Sorry about that. I have been busy with many projects including getting well from some yucky virus I caught. I entered a Challenge Contest in Oct. - Garden Party Challenge. The pattern is one of Rebekka Hollway's designs by the same name Garden Party. I almost chickened out, but I thought you have to be fearless in creating dolls. So I went for it. To my utter surprise, I won second place. Wow! I do have pictures that I will put up today. Back in September, I went to the Iowa/Reno Retreat. Tony and I RVed up to Marshalltown, Iowa. The two instructors were Sherry Goshon and Jean Bernard. It was a fantastic experience. We learned so much. I do want to go back next year. Lord willing.

At the end of September, I started volunteer tutoring (reading) at my old school, E.M. Daggett Elementary School. I love teaching reading. I have 6 groups that I work with. 3 -first grade groups, 2 second grade groups, and 2 kindergarten groups. I have really enjoyed working with the children. I taught first and second grades, but never kindergarten. It is tough, they are looking everywhere but at whatever you are working on. I have to say that the kindergarten teachers have to be so awesome to teach that grade. It is quite a challenge.

Guess I will close for now. Hugs, Molli
