Lots of Teaching

I haven’t had a lot to write about lately. The most exciting thing that has happened in the past few days is that I went to Missoula yesterday to teach a serger mastery class. I had five students, all of whom were new owners of the Bernina L890 sergers.

The weather has been great here, so the drive down was uneventful and the scenery was lovely. Traffic was very light. At times, I was the only one on the road for several miles. I didn’t do a lot of shopping either before or after class; immediately after class, I went to MVD Express to renew the registrations on the two of the work trucks. I couldn’t do it through the Flathead County website because there was an issue with the vehicle weights being incorrect. I didn’t want to have to go in to the county office in person because the wait is always so long. MVD Express was able to correct the weights and run the renewals. We now have the option—which I chose—to renew for two years.

I stopped in at Hobby Lobby to get a few more class supplies, then popped in to Barnes and Noble where I picked up this gem:

I have The Sewing Book by the same author and have found it very useful.

And that was it. I didn’t even stop at the Amish store for ice cream on the way home because it was too late.

The husband’s work schedule has been light, so he’s been here doing maintenance on trucks, trailers, and equipment. Of course, when he’s here, he’s a Shiny Toy and I get distracted. He’s going to be out on a jobsite today, which will make it easier for me to concentrate. 🤓

I’m hoping to finish class prep soon. I’d like to be able to make a few new tops or pants to wear to Sew Expo. I am waiting to find out what the weather is going to do that week. Typically, it’s cold and rainy, but this has been a strange winter. My biggest concern is getting over the passes and back. I’m planning to visit DD#1 before Sew Expo and DD#2 after Sew Expo.

The week after Sew Expo marks the beginning of spring in my brain, even if the weather says otherwise. The husband and I need to have a farm meeting soon. I’ve got people asking about pork and we need to make a list of infrastructure projects. I would like to be able to pay better attention to the garden this year. Everything will flow better with planning.
