Fall is here


As I sit at my desk eating my apple I am shocked at how quickly the year is going by. I am super happy at how my felted slippers turned out (see below). They were relatively easy to make, and with the help of YouTube video, I taught myself the Magic Loop. I want to pick up cables next, and possibly take a class at Threefold Educational Center on dyeing yarn with plants. It might be nice having a person rather than a computer do the teaching!

In true "me" fashion, I am starting off the year by:
  1. procrastinating  AND
  2. writing a list (built from many lists on many little scraps of paper)
This list is a work in progress...

GOALS FOR 2009 (in no particular order):
  • Run a marathon (yikes! October 10th in Baltimore is creeping up!)
  • Be creative daily
  • Take advantage of my snazzy connections (wink! wink!) and travel lots
  • Visit friends in far off places (goes along with above)
  • Clean my childhood bedroom (perhaps the most daunting item on this list)
  • plan my escape
  • DOCUMENT EVERYTHING with photographs.
  • Organize all photographs from film days into albums and burn negatives onto cd's
  • Learn something new each week (new knit stitch, new recipe, new yarn shop, new running route, etc.)
  • Improve my dart game!
there you have it.

Moroccan Bag



Here is a bag I made in the fall, with some fabric I worked on designing.
