So to catch you up fast on life in Chicago…. K was home for 5 days over Mother’s Day weekend. She returned to her room to begin RA training. The training went well. Part of the time they did training and part of the time they checked the rooms to make sure everything was (sort of) clean. (They don’t have the same standards as others we know!)
Training ended last Friday and finally on Saturday afternoon she got the call that HER room was ready.
Her new room.
Her RA room. 
She is nearly to the top of her building and now on the corner with a lovely window ~ she can see LOTS! (I wouldn’t know… being that I’m scared of heights. She promised that when I’m in there next, she’ll close the blinds. I felt like I was going to fall off the edge of the building when we peaked in the 9th floor room. Now she is near the clouds!)
Before her students come she needs to decorate the doors for the students’ names and have a coordinating bulletin board. It is an art school after all.
She (Miss Accessories) made 4″ (or so) handbags! 
Here is the whole floor worth.
When she learns whether her floor is for guys or girls and gets a name list, she’ll paint (in girl or boy colored paint) their name on another strip of fabric and glue it to the bag. Aren’t these the cutest!
See her view! 
and sew on...
