Texas Sheet Cake and Knitting are keeping me sane

It’s been a busy week. Like it usually is, but that's part of the package of being a teacher. I have been trying to illumine my 6th graders about ratios and proportions, and leading my 7th grade students through percents. I have been working on my Teachers pay Teachers store listings and adding a few files, and I have been listening to Michael Weatherly’s “Under the Sun” because it’s scratching a musical itch for me right now. I picked up my Names of the Doctor scarf and have got to the more exciting bit and am now finding it hard to put down.

I have got the thumb gusset done on the first Waterhouse mitt, and am just waiting to hear how long the recipient wants them to be before finishing it off. I like this pattern, but they are pretty skimpy/short mitts as written. Good thing I like tweaking patterns!

I got the urge to make a Texas sheet cake earlier this week, so this weekend I indulged in some Southern goodness. Oh how I miss the South sometimes… Good cornbread, good baked beans, good barbeque, and deserts like this that make you glad to be alive.

Well, that’s me for this week! Hope your next week is blessed and full of things you love.

Parting shot: Jacarandas and Zambian skies also make me glad to be alive!
