Sesame Seed Designs

Well folks, I’ve started working full time and I’m almost at the end of week 2. It’s really hard. After 8 months of not working and 4 months of working part time, it’s been a difficult adjustment and I miss my little sesame’ a ton. I’m tired and cranky and sesame and I have been sick for almost a week now and it sucks to go to work and not stay home and take care of my little one. I do like my job, though.

This is the first week of summer camp and so far I’ve had to send home a violent kid, send home a sick kid, deal with some crazy parents, talk to 2 kids who pushed each other into the creek, spend 30 minutes coaxing a sad kid out from under a bench, one of my instructors missed a plane connection and couldn’t make it to the very 1st day of camp, I had a volunteer assistant counselor be a no-show on the first day and a different instructor had to leave at noon today so I needed to fill in. Being a camp director is hard! Did I just say that I liked my job?! I’ve also gotten tons of hugs, been gifted several god’s eyes (I mean owl’s eyes), witnessed kids getting excited to learn about the life cycle of salmon, had parents say they wished they’d signed their kid up for more than one week because they like it so much, and I’ve learned a ton of new silly songs from my awesome staff.

I embroidered a beautiful design for Sairshe’s birthday and I really want to show it to you. I showed you this picture of a section of it earlier. I want to make a pillowcase out of it. I bought a great organic cotton pillow just the right size from this etsy seller and Sairshe snuggled on the floor with it when I took it out of the box. I went to Bolt and bought some great Amy Butler fabric that coordinates with the embroidery. And then . . . Sairshe lost my embroidery. She carried it around and I last remember seeing in on the floor near Mike’s guitar case but that was a few weeks ago and I haven’t seen it since! It has to be somewhere and I hope I find it soon. Darn baby!
