Unexpected Kindnesses Part Deaux

Marlene and Peter sent us the nesting glass bowls that I coveted! Their excuse is that it’s a wedding present, despite the fact that Rob and I got married over three years ago.

Such kindness, and I really needed a pick-me-up after the battle with Mr. Uh-uh today. That and the increasing awareness that there’s no way we’ll get the set finished.

On the upside, I did finish the Lessons Learned project. Whew.

Finally, the other modeling shots

Sorry, I’ve been meaning to post the rest of the modeling shots since Monday. These, plus the ones I posted earlier, are apparently the ones that agencies purchased. Who knows what publications we’ll start turning up in.


This is the one we sent to our folks.

Problem Child II

The other problem child is your standard, run of the mill, I-don’t-wanna but he’s making me crazy. Little Miss Snippy was much better today, which gave me more time to focus on Mr. Uh-uh. He doesn’t want to do anything, which would be fine if he would actually sit and do nothing. What he really wants to do is distract the students who are actually working.

The most frustrating thing is that when I sit down to talk to him, he’s interested, engaged and has good ideas. He just has no follow-through. His grandmother runs the camp and says that she doesn’t know what to do with him either.

Argh.

Tomorrow, I’m going to try giving him two things. One sample for him to copy, and the other a small scale drawing project. I’ll let him bounce between the two things when he gets bored.
