this is my new school bag. isn't she pretty? another (slightly modified) pattern from
this talented artista. while working on my bag the other night, brian asked me when i turned 80. it's true- i love needlework. the canvas tote is a long awaited replacement for my red high school jansport. all of my school supplies fit snugly inside, but it does much more than simply carry my things.
i have a lot of regrets about not completing my education the first time around. i'm constantly reminded of the sacrifices being made so that i can fulfill my scholarly obligations. the bag reminds me that all the tribulation is the means to a much better end.

What a nice reminder of where you are headed everytime you look at that book bag. When you graduate you will have to frame it with the date needlepointed on it. love ya mom
I love that you are working on your education. It's such an inspiration.
Also, I really love that tote!
Marisa, I LOVE your tote and your new-found stitching hobby!! What a cute bag. I'm soooo proud of you for pursuing your education, even with the sacrifices that come with it. What is done is done. How nice that, sooner than you think, you will..hubby and kids in tow...receive your degree and be headed for such a bright future. I can hardly wait to hear about all the lucky students who will have the good fortune to have you as their teacher. They will surely get the best for their money because your ARE the best! I love you. Grandma C.
I totally love your new header. It is so you! and cute
Ah, Someday you should talk to Kath about this issue. She just gave me the pep talk this week about how much she loves having an education and how many times it saved her family down the road. You will treasure your degree always BUT remember... a degree is not what makes you special to all of us.
You know I love the bag! I also love that Brain says you are 80! LOL!
