I need fusible interfacing, bow-tie sliders, and a large spool of white cotton thread before I can move any further forward on the long list of today-to-do-things.
But it's so gray outside today and I don't feel like doing anything but drink hot sweet tea and be glad I'm not at school.
Let's start by admitting that all my New Year's resolutions have flopped. I've neglected blogging, gave up on my bible-in-a-year quest, haven't read any books, still wear leggings eight out of seven days a week, don't eat breakfast often enough and drink way too much coffee.
Not reading books confuses my heart the most, I think. I love reading and the concept that I have only read one very short book since this school year began, hurts my heart immensely.
Something is terribly wrong with this year.
Things have been busy: mind-meltingly, soul numbingly so.
School is growing increasingly intense and uninteresting and I have to focus my thoughts often to dreams of my and Trevor's wood and water surrounded cabin of craft that floats somewhere in the future.
There have been a few new things happening-- work placements and applications for summer opportunities: things that are anxiety surrounded but not bad.
I recently started my work placement with Stephanie Fortin of Coeur De Lion Textiles:
This is part of her face and part of her fabric. She is lovely and fun and kind and does beautiful work. You should check her out: http://www.coeurdeliontextiles.com/
Trevor's gone off on an adventure to Milwaukee to commune with fellow clay lovers. It's a week long clay conference: complete with demos and dance parties. What fun!
And, it's long past time I get back to work.
Wish me luck, and
I'll seeeee you all again, sometime soon.
