Ahhh... fiber therapy is a good thing...


Studying for finals and the end of the semester stuff makes me crazy. All my professors every semester seem to save up the most time-consuming projects until the very end of the semester and never seem to give us the information to get started until right before either - ugh!

Fiber therapy makes it all better. These are the lovely little projects that are now winging there way via the postal service to my sister. She doesn't have internet access so I don't mind posting them online. She also doesn't really know what a blog is, so I'm totally safe.

The scarf is a lovely alpaca blend that I think she'll really love living in the cool, rainy Northwest. The hat is merino wool and the dish cloths are plain, lovely cotton (which I crocheted). I think next year, I'm going to try for a sweater, which considering how slow I knit, I will have to start shortly after Christmas.

Happy Holidays!

You are great at "fiber therapy". Everything looks great. I just started knitting again, and I love it. Good luck with the finals.

Zeitgeist and the month of December…

makes I am planning to blog through the month of December, you know one of those blog everyday kind of clubs.  I like the idea of them a lot – though I’m not promising anything spectacular, because I tend to get sidetracked a lot, but I am planning to blog at least a little. I wasn’t even going to bother attempting another one of these things – the dismal failures and the guilt, the added stress from the guilt, who needs it really!?! I suppose if I actually made it all the way through I’d feel pretty awesome but it’s all good. Actually, what most excited me about this blog all the month thing was the theme – Zeitgeist – isn’t that just one of the coolest words ever? It just sounds cool.  I am thinking of adopting it as my theme for 2011 – I’m not joking, I like it that much. In case you don’t know (or haven’t googled a defintion yet) here’s an overview of the meaning from wikipedia : is "the spirit of the times" or "the spirit of the age." Zeitgeist is the ge...

Where I've been... well, nowhere really. I have been trying to stay off the computer and get some studying done. Obviously this is not working very well since here I am, but it is an effort. This new test I am studying for to determine whether I'm cool enough to enter the Education program at Western Washington University is scaring the pants off me. I really wish they would accept my already passing Praxis scores as I have already gone through all the freaking out, stressing out, studying and lack of sleep for that test. I don't test very well. I really never have. I am full of that panicky test anxiety right up until the professor, etc says go, and then I calm down and keep telling myself, you know this or you don't... just breathe goober. I am almost always convinced that I'm going to fail, and fail badly and I can't remember actually ever failing, but it could still happen. So, now I stay up late (because that's the only time it's quiet here) a...
