SAFF 2011 Day 1

It was a great, though long day- luckily for me, I had genius students and the classes were great fun. It was a cool morning, with a warm and sunny afternoon. The leaves are past peak but there is still plenty of color

 and more than enough beauty to go around.

 I have no idea what this tree is but the leaves are fascinating.

 I don't know what these big trees are either, but they're sure purty.

 Just in case there was any doubt...

 The sales arena is in the McGough Arena (say  it:McGoo)

 but the classes were in a separate venue. I have my own classroom for the duration. Above were the Mitered Square students. They all did wonderfully!

 These were the Writing Patterns for Publication students. It was a long day for everyone, but take my word for it, there was lots of laughs, and they asked some great questions.

Tomorrow will be my longest teaching day (3 workshops between 8:30am-6:00pm). My friend Kris is flying in, and she's going to spend the rest of the visit with me. Woohoo!!!!

Tonight is a Ravelry/SAFF party, but I don't think I'll stay very long. I feel a long nap coming on.
