She's just darling- the cutest college student who's blog I came across months ago- not sure how- but I kept checking back and keeping tabs on her creativity. We follow each other. :)
She's just gotten into quilting- yea! a convert!- and is studying to be a teacher (which I was) so I think of her as a kindred spirit.
So happy for you to get to know Barbara today too.

What is your day job?
I’m currently a student (almost done!) and I’m a tutor in my school’s Writing Center. In January my day job will be student teaching (:
What is your dream job?
My dream job is to be a stay at home mom. Possibly with my own etsy shop, but that’s in the works for after graduation.
What is your favorite time waster?
Since I’m in school, pretty much anything that isn’t work or homework is technically a time waster...so drawing, sewing, anything crafty. The time waster I do the most though is walking down the hall and just hanging out with whoever is in house (what we call our sorority dorm).
Isn't she so cute? Be sure to pop over and say hi.

I would like to say hello to Barb! Nice to meet you! :)
Following you, and I'm especially following Barb and Melanie. Thanks! :)
I think sewing was the last thing on my mind when I was a student! Go Barbara!
Nice to meet you Barbara, although take it from one who knows, if an entire student rowing crew gets the bright idea that you should sew them matching hoodies, run, run far, far away ;o)
Thank you for getting to know Barbara better! I hope her dreams come true as a stay-home-mom and her etsy-shop to be (o:
Happy weekend.
The red dress is gorgeous. I had a problem viewing the post, but do welcome Barb to quilting. Have fun with it.
Hi, Barb. I love your red dress. I'm always glad to hear that young people are getting into sewing/quiting.
Yes, I too, have not been able to view the entire post - only the first part was readable.
