Another Blanket

Baby blankets finished.  These two are for Astrid to gift to two of her friends.  One for girl and the other a boy.

 

Back when I was teaching I brought Laura to school for a school picture. She was two!  Forty eight years later, she still has a school days picture each year! 💗 Laura’s turned out nicely this year. Everyone is in a line.  The children are called to the picture location by class.  They have a short bench like stool for everyone to sit on.  You sit, they snap.  It is done in a few seconds.  Many don’t turn out great, but they’re a memory nevertheless.  Clayton won’t go get in line.  No pictures come home in an envelope of him.  We had to “collect” for the pictures.  I hated that.  Some poor kids did not bring their pictures or the money.  I think it’s done differently now.  I felt it wasn’t my job to harass children about money.
