Amy Sedaris on Martha Stewart

I found this really funny video of Amy Sedaris on the Martha Stewart show over at Montessori By Hand. Check it out if you've got a few minutes to spare- I love Amy Sedaris!

Montessori By Hand

As the graduate of a public Montessori school and the daughter of the principal of aforementioned public Montessori school, I am a huge fan of the Montessori philosophy, and am particularly fond of the public school variety.

Montessori by Hand is a wonderful blog written by a Montessori teacher who writes,

"I have always been fascinated with making materials for my classroom. I have an on-going love affair with beautiful fabrics and nature photos. The sewing machine and I enjoy a symbiotic relationship. At night, visions of felted, child-size meditation mats and handmade books dance in my head."

Check out this great blog... many crafty Montessori ideas abound!
