holy busy life, batman.

This photo cracks me up. Sookie looks like she could be singing. Or yelling. In reality she was yawning. Which is something I've been doing a lot of lately. So busy! Let's make a list:

1. Finish assembling knit wall (as always). Installation happens sometime before November 30th

2. Laser cut digital design assignment, due tomorrow

3. Paper making samples - three 3D forms, due next Tuesday

4. Weaving sample, due next Tuesday

5. Come up with an idea for a product line (multiples) before this weekend, come up with imagery if I decide to incorporate screen printing, finalize design. Coat a screen, shoot a screen, buy fabric, start printing by Monday.

6. November 24th-December 4th. One of a Kind Show with Jenna whenever I'm not at school.

7. Come up with an idea for a knit structure made with hand spun yarn. Specifically something I can knit while at the OOAK show (two birds, one stone)

8. Needlework business. This could have its own list.

9. Write 3000 words on alpaca farming

10. Clean the house

11. Count down to December 16th. Last day of class

12. Make christmas presents

canned kate.

I'm currently in my digital textiles design class. We're making double sided hang tags. So easy. This 3 hour class could really be a 15 minutes one today. Anways, I made a whole bunch of different ones, but keeping with the canning mode I've been in lately, these are my fave.

Time to GO HOME!

weekend.

It was the last weekend of the school year. I'm done on Thursday.

1. The zinnia and tomato seedlings are up.

2. Chocolate chip oatmeal peanut butter cookie.

3. Sookie confused by the falling snow. It's spring for goodness sake! Just stop already.

4. A roast chicken for dinner. Chicken soup all weekend.

5. I normally only buy berries when they're in season. But this winter had been too long. I gave in, and had some with my breakfast.

6. Homework galore.

a busy bee!

Just over one more week of school left! This week will be a mad dash to finish a number of assignments.

Oh, I don't think I mentioned this here yet: for my last dye and print project we had to propose an idea for a large wall hanging be located in a modern open concept stairwell at the new Sheridan campus that is opening in Mississauga. Everyone in the class came up with a concept, samples, and a presentation board to show their intended idea. On the day of our critique, a panel of judges came in to decide which student would be commissioned to create their idea in full scale for the space. And guess who was chosen? MOI! My idea was to create a large (i.e. 5 by 23 feet) "living wall" (aka green wall, or vertical garden) which will be composed of varying sized panels of green designer felt and many MANY knit leaves and flowers (eventually I'll post a photo so you have a better idea of what it will look like). Anyways, now that I've won I've got a lot of knitting to do once school ends. Lots. In addition to the continued wedding planning/decoration making, Beehive events, farming, etc. I'm going to be bee-sy! Buzzing with activity! A genuine certified worker bee!
