This has been quite a week, or rather 2 weeks. I will start you all out on new about my schooling. My two favorite teachers have taken a break, and we were stuck with the not so favorite one. Needless to say, things have not been going as well as expected. We wasted a lot of valuable classroom time, and did not get anything accomplished. To boot it all, this week was mid-term week. It was not as easy and enjoyable as usually, because we were just not prepared for it. But the good news is, the two favorite teachers are back, and we have only 5 1/2 weeks left in the quarter.
I also have news about my future. I got a job at the hospital I wanted to work in after school. I will be working in Transport right now, until I am done with school, and then try to get hired in-house into one of the jobs I am training for. But this is a major step, because I now have my foot in the door, and get preferred consideration for the jobs I can bid in.
In the knitting part of life. I am sorry, there is just not much to say, I have not spend much time with my needles. I would have great ideas about things I would love to make, but I have too many UFOs (Unfinished Fiber Objects) to finish. I would just feel way too guilty starting yet another one. I have to get back to my projects, I just seem to be unable to manage my time wisely.
Quilting wise, I have no finish as of yet. I have my Log Cabin quilt I started years ago currently laying next to my sewing machine. All the blocks are finished and need assembly. I also have a few quilts that need to be loaded into the quilt frame. Two quilts need to have the hand quilting finished. Once again, my time management skills need improvement.
Crochet related, I have actually only one project in the works, but am eyeing a few others already. I am working on an Afghan for my daughter which has blocks made with hearts in them. I am about half way there, and need to get it done before she will leave me for College in August. Other than that I saw a lovely little throw on facebook today, that a friend of mine shared. I think it is one of those must-make items. I also have a lot of crochet cotton that my MIL gave me, and I am looking for a nice pattern to make a few doilies out of, and actually plan on giving them to her than as a thank you for the thread.
Time management!!! This is a very sore point right now. I am trying to improve that big time. I am employing a timer now. I got the idea from reading my friend Mags' blog, http://magsthescrappyquilter.blogspot.com/ . She has the great idea to spend 30 min every day in her quilt studio. Since I have homework and such, my plan is, to spend 60 min each day catching up on my transcription, and homework. 30 min each day on one of my hobbies, 30 min on exercise. This should help me get stuff moving in each category.
Well, playtime is over and I better get going on my plans for the afternoon. I will try to check in with you all again soon, and let you know how it all went down.
