Maybe a dream could happen for real??



So it seems that in life we wonder across people who it seems were put there for a specific reason. Like fate. Funny that fate, how that seems to always work for those who are nay sayers.



I am hoping that my serendipity comes into fruition for once. I have been feeling on the edge of insanity or geinus for a good bit now so I am convinced it must pay off in the end. It is also nice to find people in the world who share ideas similar to yours and who aren't scared of taking risks.






On the fiber front, spinning my little fingers to the bones. Or so it feels. I decided it would be a good idea to spin a whole pound of fiber for someone and I have no idea how in the world I am going to able to do this but I guess I am gonna find out. And did I mention it is DK weight?? At least it isn't merino...I have one skein down and probably 15 to go...ugh.






I did some fun dye work with warm colors this week and made some batts made of coopworth and some milk fiber and a little glitz for sparkles. I also finished some yarns I had spun and plyed and did one overdye of oatmeal corridale I picked up at Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival this year.

Round 2. FIGHT...





So ok, I made 2 days in a row. Kinda a strange idea this blog but also a great concept. I am a 37 year old divorced college student. That's a mouth-full. Going to school has for sure become most of my life. I love school more than when I was in it before and young and didn't know the value of education. I have a new-found intrest in doing good and have found myself actually being hard on myself. I have never really tried this hard to get good grades. I feel at this age there is no excuse in getting crappy grades. I also feel under pressure due to my GI Bill having a limited time. Ugh. So anyway, I leave you with another photo taken by me in my fun fieldtrips...

Man this is tough..



It is tough to keep up the blog front. I have tried a few times to be diligent. I will attempt again to move about the cabin...So art school is now leading me to a semester of absolute horrors.. I will be taking 18 credit hours here soon to work my way to Fiber Artists degree at Old Dominion University. I hope I can graduate this school son I can get to ODU soon as my GI Bill only has so much time left to keep getting paid. I need to decide what kinds of things I'd like to do and get to doing it. Sigh, the pressures. I also love photography and tinkering away with that. So, I will leave my thoughts here and find a photo for you to enjoy in the mean time.
