Homemade School Supplies: Recorder Case

So, I have a third grader this year.  Which means, our home will be filled with the relentless screech of a third grader blaring a school required recorder.  Why can't elementary music programs teach the harmonica or the melodica or even the guitar like in the movies?  Surely there are plenty of other beginner instruments that are less obnoxious than the recorder?

I'm just sayin'.

 Despite my dislike for this particular instrument, in the tradition of last year's homemade pencil pouch, I stitched up a padded recorder case, to protect our priceless investment. 

 Complete with her name on it, just in case someone else has one just like it.

Up next on my to do list... make an ear plug case for myself.

1st Day of 2nd Grade

After my not so successful experiment making a t-shirt dress, I went to Target and found this one for only $3.74. SCORE! So, Lucy was excited to wear it for her first day.


It matched her back to school manicure perfectly-- an added a bonus! You can read more about there here, if you'd like. It's always nice when you can mooch off of a better writer's skills for you blog-- thanks K! :)

She found out that her best friend is in her class-- not only in her class but sitting next to her, lucky girl! Actually, there are three kids in Lucy's grade (including L) who go to our church and they are all in the same class. Kind of neat!
