flowers and leaves and felt.

Last night I finally bit the bullet and laid out the felt and the flowers and leaves that have been knit for the Hazel McCallion Sheridan campus wall hanging. I had been avoiding doing that for so long because I was super afraid that I'd do it and realize that I wasn't even close to being done. I just didn't want to know! 

BUT I'M ALMOST DONE. I cannot wait until it's done. It will be such a huge weight off my shoulders. And thank you to my friends who are helping with the knitting! So helpful!I just tossed the knit pieces down to get a sense of it all, and I think I'm doing ok! I WILL finish in time. That's my mantra anyways. It needs to be completed by early November I think (still haven't been given an official completion date...). I also have a big school project due around that time, and other things to do. It's all the other life commitments that makes finishing this piece in a speedy manner quite difficult.

Oh, and clearly I haven't found my battery charger yet. 

sweet relief.

I received the best news yesterday: the deadline for the knit vertical garden wall hanging that I've been working on (and stressing about) has been extended to October/November!!! AMAZING. The original deadline was the end of August, which was going to be cutting it extremely close. I really wasn't sure that I'd be able to finish it on time. But because of the logistics of hanging it, the powers that be decided that installation should occur at the same time that they're putting up a giant glass mobile piece. That way they can use the same equipment and trained professionals for both.

PHEW! My stress level has lowered significantly. Being up at the cottage for the week also helps. Now I can focus more on wedding planning and business planning.

The above photos are from Monday, when I finally got the 4 yards of 5mm thick designer felt required for the hanging. With the help of Erick I got it all cut up in the textile studio at Sheridan. Progress.
