It's a Handmade Business card of sorts! I made it myself... go figure. But it makes me happy.

So i'm hooked.


Twitter. Dammit it's addicting and it's not even like I have followers, but it's instant and quick. Like texting. I've been pretty busy. I've been at home all week, but I have not been idle.
I have made like 8 beanies, started 2 scarves as samples for the patterns I plan to post on Etsy. I already have one pattern up for sale. I have great progress on 1 crocheted shawl and started on a knitted one. I have a new formula to try (not the short row one technique, it's a center outward triangle). I'm a little excited.. can you tell. I feel productive. Maybe once a quarter I should take a week off at just focus on my yarn, my art, my sewing.. my truest loves. Of course that includes dancing, but I had to skip that this week due to some very personal matter.

It feels like spring. Yes it does... FINALLY! I am done with winter. Have I said that before?

School or not to school.

Several of the girls at work are in school and I think I want to go, but then I don't. I question my patience and my discipline to go. I've started and stopped traditional college 3 times. I wonder if an accelerated program would be to my benefit, but can I afford it? (not really) Do I have time? (if I cut out everything else) And of course I must consider what to school in. I what I love, but how do I school in it, in a way theat will get me from start to finish. I love being creative and making things, but I don't know if art school is right for me since I'm not traditional in any real sense. That I don't realy like the idea of some art teacher telling me that I'm do 'it' wrong. Since when was there a 'wrong' in art? I'm not going to argue about it right now, but it is something to wonder about. Back to my original point. I went to the all mighty google and found a semi-local school (it's in Draper) That offer Culinary and Baking/Pastry classes. Baking I can do. But they want such an immediate commitment that it puts me off. Why can't I get the information with out someone wanting me to sign my life over right now. Does anyone know I have things to consider? Other schedules to work around. A life to live that may not let me go another road yet. Interest does not equal a commitment.... anyone whose dated knows that. I just want information to see what I'm up against.
Ok. I've ranted. Now I'm going to ravelry to play.
