![The past few weeks have seen some BIG [good!] questions thrown our way behind the seams here at the shop and I have been keeping my mouth as closed as best I can (a statement which those who know me well, will chuckle at) and this week marks a very clear moment in time where we need to start making de 👏 ci 👏 sions about what we want to do. Sorry for ambiguity, but posting here and in this way is about all I can muster with how crazy stressful [again, good stress!] It's been! So, to make up for an unclear but very teasing "big news is coming, I think!(?)" Post, I give you my niece Charlie in her handmade 🍊 apron with her new puppy, Logan. Because puppies are excellent de-stressors while you make premature posts about things in the works 🐕 Also, while I wish this post was about me considering getting a shop pup, it's not... but maybe we can convince Charlie to bring Logie to class more often 😍 but I definitely think that would mean z e r o sewing would get done!](https://scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.29350-15/197654069_536414040711312_241283308811827272_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=KiYq_Q9ecpUAX_UYbLR&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.cdninstagram.com&oh=1504e9be5c2a67c1094964c083bdc6a7&oe=60D5EA31)
![Back on Mother's Day I was honored to have my high school art teacher, K as we affectionately called her, in the studio so she can be *my* student for a change 🎨 so much of how I teach and interact with my students has been influenced by how K taught me [when I was a pain in the butt teenager, a feat unto itself]: she always pushed us and expected a lot out of us because she knew if we focused enough creative energy on something, we could not only achieve it, but we could grow as artists and young adults. She would give tough love when it was needed but was always a safe place for kids who needed an escape from the hell high school can be, which I definitely needed. As a teacher, I always want to be what she and my other amazing art teacher who's still a friend, @kkelley55 were for me: real life examples of what it means to be genuinely yourself (K had flame orange hair, wore these wild pop art technicolor blouses and bedazzled glasses back in 2009, see any similarities? 😂) share what we love and build connections with others through making things with our hands. And their studios were always a place where I belonged, awkward opinionated and absolutely clueless me, which is all I can ever hope to make Old Spool for each of my students, young and old 😊](https://scontent-lax3-2.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.2885-15/193234815_485391449234983_7022204802769051939_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-3&_nc_sid=8ae9d6&_nc_ohc=MrqSUhfMRRAAX-4CbxE&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-2.cdninstagram.com&oh=7677677ba2d55d65fc55f2c94cb2a756&oe=60D769C8)
