The Beginning

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!  My name is Stacy, and I am...well, honestly, fairly nervous about putting myself out there like this.  I'm not sure that I'm really ready, but here goes a leap of faith.

I am a fifth grade school teacher, but since it is summer, I am currently having a love affair with my sewing machine and trying VERY hard not to think about August 13th, what with 29 students, no assistant, and an entirely new curriculum.  So far, I'm in pretty decent denial, and I'm try to get as many crafty projects in as humanly possible.  So--that is where this little blog comes in.  I can share my ideas and thoughts, and maybe some shameless self-plugs as I start trying to sell my items.  That's okay, right?!  

There will probably be some random school-related posts as well, especially as the school year starts.  Maybe some useful ideas for parents or fellow teachers will pop up.  And I can tell you now, they probably won't be cutsie-wonderful.  I have big kids.  Big kids don't do cutsie.  They are way too old and cool.  If you are the parent of a ten-year-old boy, I'm sure you know that.

Well, here it goes.  Pressing that orange Publish button.  At least I can say I've started.  Now to go back and figure out how to make this all pretty and nice...
