Well, after two weeks here at home, I am almost caught up with my long to do list. My trip to Ohio seems like a dream now. I remember during many days I felt kind of bored while there. Now I'd love to feel bored for even an afternoon!
I'm looking forward to spring quarter, my final quarter. It doesn't begin until the first week in April, but there is much prep work to do since I will participate in an independent learning contract. I'm really excited about this contract. I'll learn to weave, study fabric dyeing, and study sustainable fashion. My instructor is a master weaver, and she agreed to teach me this skill. The only weaving I've done was years ago on a square metal loom which enabled me to make numerous potholders as gifts for family members. Did you remember those small looms? Actually, I think they're still available. Anyway, I'll post pictures of my samples and projects while I progress through the quarter.
One last thing......it's been confirmed with the recent and upcoming weather here, why we drink so much coffee in the Pacific Northwest. It seems that the midwest and the northwest have switched weather this month. Snow is predicted here for this coming Saturday and Sunday evenings - wow! Oh well, definitely a good reason to warm up with a nice brew on St. Patrick's Day!
