Getting Settled

I am finally starting to figure out what I am doing! Last week was pretty hectic getting to know the students, to learn the kitchen, to cover for some of the kitchen staff who hadn't arrived yet, and to do the other various tasks that were assigned. I love being here and working here! I don't think I could have a better "job". Almost half of the students are not from the US and I am greatly enjoying learning the new cultures.
Last week I was not able to work on any of my projects very much except for Friday night. We had a ladies craft night! It was relaxing and helped me to get a lot done on one of the custom order Christmas Stockings I am working on. This week has been much better already for knitting and it has only begun!! I was able to knit earlier today and am planning on working on some more ideas for my fall and winter section on Custom Coffey tonight, since I wasn't able to go to Bible Study. I have sooo many ideas in my head of what I want to do and not enough time to do them! I think I need to do etsy full-time. I noticed today that I really need to finish the French Bread Basket that is almost done. I did get the wash cloth done and into the shop though! You can see it here http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=29348026
I need to get some pictures up of what I am working on soon!

New Beginnings. . .

It's finally here!! I have been wanting to start a blog, but knew my life was not too exciting at the time to keep people interest. But recently my husband and I, Kevin, moved an hour and 20 mins. down South to work at Mt. Carmel Schools. I am sure I will have plenty of stories to tell now! We are the Deans of Students, he more than I. He also teaches and I cook for the whole school. I am still in shock that we are no longer pastoring a church. Everything has happened so quickly and yet has taken so long! We will miss our Sharpsburg "family" but are really enjoying being here and know we are where God wants us to be. Mt. Carmel is a boarding school and Dean of Students is kind of like their parents when they are not in school. Yes, that's right we "get" to discipline them, eek!
I also am planning on telling you which project I am working on next to list on my shop at etsy. My website is www.customcoffey.etsy.com Currently I am working on a knit dish cloth and and getting stuff around to make a basket to put French Bread in. I am excited about the upcoming holidays and winter and thinking of things that would be neat to make for them! I think I have been in the Christmas mood since April now! I have been knitting Christmas Stockings for some of my customers since then and keep finding myself singing Christmas carols. Christmas is just a few months away. . . If you have any ideas on things you would like me to make, let me know and I will see what I can do!
