Since I was a little person, I’ve loved making things with
my hands. And if I didn’t know how to
make it, I’d go to our local library and find a book to help me figure out how
to do it. There was magic in the search
to figure it out and then in the making it!
. My Mom and Dad were makers and they helped in many of the adventures.

I hope to give that sense of "loving the making" to my
students at Ridgeway Community School.
This autumn, I held a Stitching Club to teach children how to tie a knot,
sew on a button and learn some simple stitches.
We made some fun projects.
The Kindergarten through 2nd Graders made a
stitching card with a butterfly, a giraffe and a little pocket to store
treasures. A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped these little ones have such great success.
They were very happy with their stitching projects!
