It has been a busy couple of weeks here in University land- some interesting things have "gone down" lately- i have essays coming out of my ears and time is slipping away from me quicker than ever!
i have done so many crafty things- like some quilt piecing, ( i need 75 squares and i have 15-maybe 20) i made an embroidered art work of a squid with jewels for eyes, i have been searching high and low for these beautiful artworks/engravings/lithographs that i finally found on the internet (i would love to print them off on aged paper with brown ink and have them in the baby's room,) here is a sample of two of them:
OH! and tegan and i are starting up this new project together (and it will also be part of her masters) of putting together a glory box! We are going to have monthly meetings where we create some lovely pIEces together! I have already decided what the theme of my baby room is going to be, i have chosen the woodland/ forest theme, so, lots of "Animals of Farthing Wood"-esque things (doe, stags, rabbits, badgers, weasels, owls, etc. So these prints will be absolutly perfect! sigh! its a vision!
here is a montage of some of the stuff we(i) will be trying to make for 'the hope chest project':)
I think that Tegan will be focusing on doing her hope chest with practical, house-y things, where as i will be focusing on more...babyish stuff...
On another note, i am also writing a story- (and have an idea for another one)- The big one though is going to be a huge epic fantasy novel- all in one volume! (New writers aren't usually signed up to do many series' of books unless they have proven themselves)but still, it is going to be epic!!
On a lighter note, Dave and I had our 11 month Anniversary yesterday! Woah! Thats nearly a year! and i am not sick of him one bit! He is gorgeous and i love him :)
Well that concludes catch up number 1! I hope every one is well! I promise to upload pictures of my quilt and embroidery project art once it is done! <3 you!
