Stitchify - Crafts and Fiber Arts Inspiration

I only have to go to one class this week, so let’s say it doesn’t even count. Therefore there are only three weeks of school left until winter break! YAY!!! This has been the fastest semester ever. Yayayayayay! I am registering for classes FOR THE LAST TIME on Tuesday. YAyAYAYYAya!

On Friday I took my BFF Amy to tour the venue for my graduation party while I handed over the signed contract. It was so fantastic to show the venue to someone I love, so they could see why I have been so gung-ho in “I don’t want to tour anywhere else. THIS IS IT!” She was blown away, and my love of the venue was cemented further. Here she is on the patio of the suites that I have booked.

Isn’t it FABU? The big dark building (known locally as “Darth Vader”) is where Amy works. The building where I work is between that one and the direction that Amy is gazing. The Capitol is in the direction that she is gazing, and her husband’s building is further to her left. It’s so fun to be right in the middle of our stomping grounds. I could show you pics of the view of the Capitol, but I want to leave the best parts for the actual party.

GAH! So excited. Ooh - I just realized that yesterday was exactly six months until the party, and more importantly, until I are an college graduat. ;) Heh. Yes yes yes yes! Can you tell that I am pumped that there is a light (and the best party of the century) at the end of the tunnel?

On Sunday I attended a workshop given by Aunt Susan’s (and my) friend Donna on creating journals from scratch. Aunt Bettie was there too, and everyone made really stunning pieces. Here are some of the artists working away:

Here is Donna showing Aunt Bettie the best technique for sewing in the “signatures” (the packets of paper):

And here is Aunt Susan and her fun modern journal:

I hope that you all have a beautiful Thanksgiving and that you keep in mind the importance of what you eat and where it came from (year round).

Thank you Mother Nature for another year of feeding us. I will strive to eat more sustainably in the following year.

Oh - that reminds me! We had our first Andy and Julie’s vegetable garden salad this afternoon! Delicious lettuce and radishes! Broccoli, carrots and onions are growing but not yet ready for harvesting.
