Happy Valentines Day

My Valentine is in NYC, but I received these on my porch this morning...

And then I spent most of the day screen printing two yards of this...

And it ended with breakfast for dinner with good girl friends.

Its snowing...

in Savannah GA! crazy crazy crazy.

doesnt quite look like this... a little less swiss.

And so it begins...

Some work is done, but still lots to do! Fibers is having an open studio tomorrow night, I will be screen printing during it and some of the cards I have been making are hanging up. I realized that the job hunt/that part of life is starting... today! Excited and nervous at the same time...

Nuno

I made this nuno felt piece sophomore year and am submitting it to a call for entry. I took pictures of it today, so I thought I would share.

The Beginning

Also, check out this music video, Hell by Tegan and Sara. Weird/funny video, great song.

Destiny

I spent the afternoon threading my loom for our second project. We will be experimenting with six different weave structures. Each person threaded their loom for a specific structure and we will move around to each loom to weave a sample of each. My loom is threaded for New Canaan Check which I cant find anywhere online, but one variation is a waffle weave, might look something like this...

Doris says that a threaded loom is a metaphor for destiny. The loom is waiting to be woven and it will take hard work, dedication, patience, and time to complete. Weaving is a lot like life... each warp you weave is an event, a lesson learned, a mistake-- but you meet your goal and cut it off the loom to begin what is next. Just a thought. Heres a look at destiny...

Here we go...

No lie, I am working 45 hours in 3 days this weekend. Starting at 6 am Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and working event after event until 10 pm or 1 am. Lets just say the credit card will be paid off, and I will be exhausted (if I make it). Plus, half-way done the quarter and still LOTS to do and make!! Heres to the next five weeks, wish me luck!

we heart it

cafe s'il vous plait

I was just thinking of what I miss from Europe. Then I thought it would be fun to find the pictures I have of all the great coffee I drank. Then I realized I drank a lot of coffee in Europe. And then I missed it even more. Plus, this weekend is going to be so busy, and full of coffee that just doesnt compare to these...

And I kinda miss this too...

But just kinda. (or every day)
