Keeping up!

 I am surprised that I have been able to keep up with the Civil War "BOW" ...block of the week...maybe because it sounds like a dog...bow wow wow?  Okay stretching it there.

 
Worked on my mid-year RBES goals for work...I see all that I still need to do for work....I will get through it.

Not doing to good on keeping up with the UFO challenge.  I will "catch up" with that hopefully over spring break in APRIL....no breaks until then....ahhhhhhhh.  

If you enjoy funny library humor in kids' book, you will have to read The Case of the Case of Mistaken Identity by Mac Barnett.  Fast read and a silly boy story that has ninja librarians!  Fav quotes on pages 40 and 41.

Okay...now off to read another kid's book. k

Rough Week...

Book Fair was this week and it was a l-o-n-g one!  We didn't make as much as usual, but did sell enough to make it worth it.
  
I was able to sew the Civil War Barbara Brackman block from this Saturday....good thing because I am at work everyday after school doing something.  My day off from work will be Sunday.  Reader Rally is next weekend and I get to help set up Friday after work and be there for my team Sat. 8 - 2.  This day usually goes by fast, but is draining.

Well here is my #6 block:  Richmond..the points don't match up as I would like.  I did redraft the block, and cut the 2 1/4" squares to 2 1/8" squares and then in 1/2.  This did help with the matching of the pieces. k
