I totally understand about giving up, I did it with the blog, and it helped me immensely to know I could leave - and in fact it helped focus my energy on other things, and then have a new vision for it... Maybe you will get another class idea soon, just let it happen in its own time. Sometimes we try too hard to have ideas all the time - but I am not sure our brains work in that way!Nat at Made in Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188146841501354978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1842721577085503845.post-44036401930891079402015-08-06T09:08:08.567+01:002015-08-06T09:08:08.567+01:00The muffin pic is priceless.

I say the same thing to my students about the novels they read- if you are not enjoying it, give up; there are too many great books out there to persist with one you don't like!

Reminds me of a time when I was much, much younger (but older than your daughter), while my mom was out shopping I 'sampled' the frosting off an entire cake....one finger full at a time. Boy was she mad at me when she got home!

Just this morning, my 3 year old discovered how to open the lock on the refrigerator and ate a good handful of dark chocolate covered macadamia nuts for breakfast. Fabulous. Your embroidery is gorgeous, too. I look forward to seeing it in its entirety.Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464017894034971101noreply@blogger.com
