I enjoy teaching.It started many years ago while I was working for a large corporation as an Info Tech (IT) Admin. I loved working with computers and enjoyed building desktop systems as a hobby. My enthusiasm for helping others with computer problems led me to teach a few basic computer classes to my fellow co-workers. MS-DOS, Lotus 1-2-3, WordPerfect, etc. (Is my age showing now?)
Now, I am teaching the basics of sewing. It seems appropriate since sewing is my all-time favorite hobby.
I received a really nice surprise on the last day of my sewing class. One of my sewing students, Gloria, had given me a dressform pincushion (pictured here). I was estatic to receive such a wonderful gift and it is proudly displayed on my sewing desk. In her note, she thanked me for being a "super" great teacher and friend. Words cannot express how that touched my heart. That is why I love to teach.
I dressed up my new pincushion by adding a necklace and a belt with my pins. Too bad they don't make rhinestone head pins. Can you imagine the bling on this pincushion?
BTW, I am still intrigued with computer technology and my two sewing machines are computerized.
(Kat-a big thank you for helping me figure out how to post my pictures...you're the best!)
(Gloria-if you happen to stumble on this post...remember to keep sewing...and thank you for being such a wonderful student)
Happy Sewing!
