Yo-Yo barrettes for Carol’s Made For China endeavor over at Kidding Around. Check it out, she is sending gifts to orphanages in China. When I heard about it, I jumped on the chance to help her, I hold a special place in my heart for orphans because Joe and I would like to adopt down… Continue reading I heart Yo-Yos!
These are some of my kindergarten monkeys… This is Tom and Jerry, Tom is in front giving us the peace sign, which I’m not sure means peace in Korea and that’s Jerry in the background. This was as still as they would get for a photo today. At least I can keep their real names… Continue reading Kindergarten Monkeys
A baby apron ala Cheeky Mama at I Have To Say… Thanks for the inspiration, Randi. I made it for a friend’s daughter who just turned 2 last month. She has been really into fake food (the babe, not my friend) and playing in her new kiddie kitchen so I thought an apron would be… Continue reading Weekend WIPs
It’s been a pretty relaxing weekend here in the land of the morning calm. I went to dinner with Ally at Nolboo on Friday night. Nolboo is a very popular restaurant on the Shinjang-dong and is known for their Kalbi Jim or Korean beef short ribs. Most of the restaurants here cook the meat at… Continue reading Weekend
It has been an interesting first week at school. Can you tell what we were learning about this week? That’s right kids, mug shots! Last week’s field trip to Everland, the Korean equivalent to Disney World, was cancelled due to the fact that nobody wanted to walk around an amusement park in 10 degree weather.… Continue reading American City Village

I woke up feeling like crap… Runny nose, stuffy head, sore throat and it was my first day of school – yuck! I had to be at work at 1:30 even though my schedule said my first class wasn’t until 2:30 but I figured oh well, John must have something for me to do. He… Continue reading First day of school…
Well it’s been a busy couple of days around here so a slow Sunday night is very welcome. School on Thursday went well, the kids loved the fruit. I brought a few pieces to shake things up a bit. The orange puppets were a big hit. I taught two 20-minute classes of 34 seven-year olds.… Continue reading 10 Man March…
I finished the Amy Butler In Stitches Bedside Organizer. I am happy with the way it came out although I had a heckofa time with the last step – pleating the magazine pocket. It looks weird on our bed only because it’s dragging on the floor, Koreans don’t believe in box springs for some reason. … Continue reading Dark Chocolate is a major food group…
So the bedside organizer is coming along quite well. I am very happy with the fabric I chose for this project and the pockets are big and roomy. Amy Butler’s In Stitches, as everyone already knows, is a great book. The directions are easy to follow and the projects are cute and functional. Beki from… Continue reading I Heart Amy Butler…
