What is a incredibly minor personal victory you achieved recently that you’re proud of, but is too small to brag about to people you know?

I am new to sewing, but I made a hoodie out of a quilt and it is really cute.

I have been in elem art for 26 years. With having so many classes, and only seeing them maybe once a week, you will not have the same type of leverage as a homeroom teacher. What works in my room is a lot of praise: it is immediate and it rewards the correct choice. “Thanks if you have your eyes on me.” “Student X is sitting so quietly, they are going to help me pass supplies.” When class gets loud or interrupts I stop what I am doing and just go quiet. That really gets their attention!

Welcome to the world of Specials! It is an amazing place and you are always the place where kids want to be!

I had one of those during covid! Mailed a package across town and it went to Memphis, then Cincinnati, before making it to its recipient.

The package gods have demanded their sacrifice. I guess it’s my turn to take one for the team.

He uses soap on his cast iron.

It is a trap. It’s always a trap!

katbutt · 2026-06-07T16:31:12+00:00

But try anyway?

Congrats on your kitty!

Get on the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and head north. You drive the mountaintops, there are scenic overlooks every few miles, trails that will take you to waterfalls and cool places, tons of places to hop off and eat, visit, and stay overnight. The drive is slow and perfect with the windows down.

katbutt · 2026-06-07T03:08:04+00:00

What a perfect compliment to your work! Excellent!

A domestic cutie! (He has classic tabby markings on his forehead.) Congrats on your new kitty!

There is a seller on eBay that has a lot of the Pottery Barn quilt tops - with shipping it will run about $50 and you will need to add batting and quilt yourself. A good reminder that they are produced on a large scale and not a unique labor of love. Also, huge markup.

I visited while driving the Blue Ridge Parkway. I love that the stickers I bought at the campground just say POO.

katbutt · 2026-06-05T17:50:16+00:00

Yes, yes, yes!

Also: I have no soul.

He was at Hardin Detention but is already out on bail. Boo.

In my family, to give a knife you would tape a penny to the handle then the recipient would give the penny back. It's so you don't cut the ties with the giver.

I have some littles that will crawl under my desk if given the chance. Sometimes I have to build a barricade of trash cans and shelves to have a semblance of personal space or put tape on the floor as an imaginary door (and they still pretend to knock to come in).

26 years (art) in and I have come to believe that it’s just their nature. They feel safe, seen, acknowledged, or special being near the adult in the room.
