4 square

I used to be a kindergarten & art teacher but I had to step aside from that vocation for the time being. Having 3 children and a career caused me to 'have way too much on my plate'---I was basically a 'chicken running around with her head cut-off' trying to do everything for everybody. My husband suffered. My children suffered. My students suffered. And I suffered. So I am relishing, yes, RELISHING this period of my life that I am able to stay home and run a house of 5 people.....but oh, where was I?.... ....ahhh, yes....as a teacher I loved watching the children take chalk and draw 4 squares on the blacktopped playground to play ' 4 Square'. This pattern reminds me of that playful game. Each square of fabric represents 4 different & unique childen.

These 4 squares meet up in the middle of this wall-hanging that I am slooooooooowly starting to get finished.

And celebrating Easter with my husband's family tomorrow will certainly see me trying to get this done while we are sitting around wondering if the kids will ever find all of the eggs Grandma hid. And will they be found in one day? Or will we laugh so hard when one is found this coming Christmas under a cushion in the sofa...or behind the cereal box in the cupboard....

Happy Easter.....

...to all of you very favorite, lovely friends!
