good afternoon dear friends ... and thank you for sharing part of your day with me ...
it's been a while since we sat and chatted ...
i've been on an art rollercoaster lately ...
i've just wrapped up the final project for our second course in the certificate of fiber arts program at university of washington ...
and while it's been a demanding quarter, who would not want to enter these doors given the opportunity ...
i must say that i've been blessed by beautiful university campuses ... i attended acadia university in the 80s which is in the annapolis valley in nova scotia and wow what a breathtaking campus it is as well ...
at the same time, i'm training for a half marathon (along with my recently temporarily retired groom), my first in a few years, and so life has become a series of juggling acts ...
with the household chores being the ball that gets dropped most frequently ...
but i'm ok with that ...
well i'm ok with that until forced to use paper towel bits for toilet paper and then i know it's time for a quick trip to that big box shop nearby ...
$347 later ...
i have enough of that toilet paper that it shall be willed to my children ...
so here's my final piece from my second quarter class ... entited "17,568 Stitches in a Knit Life" in which i knit a stitch for every day of my life and used different patterns to reflect changes in my life ...
it turned out quite well i think although need to work on the mounting ... but limited to cork board in class ...
thankfully it is an "unfinished" piece as i'm not dead yet and hope to not be dead for quite some time ...
thanks for sticking around ... i promise more later ...
i am on "desserts" tonight for my bunko group so must go work on that ... a platter of sweets and some strawberries are on the menu tonight ...
enjoy your day ... and tell your children you love them ...
and if i happen to not make it another day, would someone please cast off my knit piece? ...
thanks ...
