I am sure it would be a real eye-opener for that teacher (and a few others involved) to see just how much effort went in to them and just where you got help from! LOL<br />btw - I hope the play went well.<br />... and I guess now you have to decide what to DO with 30 crocheted shawls!

I worry that this day will happen to me when my children start going through school. <br /><br />What happens to the 30 shawls after the show is done?Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01216580106264628759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006671676989020553.post-91969301332220384602010-03-01T23:39:47.932-05:002010-03-01T23:39:47.932-05:00Uhhhhhhhh.....

You were very generous to not just give a flat out "No." <br /><br />It seems to me that that teacher has NO idea how much time it takes to crochet. Or appreciate the work of handmade objects. I'd be very tempted to just thrift shop a bunch.<br /><br />You have the patience of a saint. Or you're crazy. Whichever. :)Lauriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03684726286975874023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8006671676989020553.post-83285414982907890362010-03-01T19:56:57.043-05:002010-03-01T19:56:57.043-05:00Eek!

We had our "ghost" on roller skates on the stage & used dry ice for the smoke. It was awesome.Traciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04293735254954445431noreply@blogger.com
