<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">Twenty years ago as an
undergraduate, group work scared me. It always seemed like some A-type

feeling guilty and incompetent. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">My Aunt Deb recently took a
graduate level course, which ate up her weekends with group work that she
couldn’t stop complaining about; this was a vivid reminder of my dislike for
group work. I admit as I try to decide what classes to take at SJSU, I
wince when reading that a course involves group work.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

This time I bring librarians. In a jello and mud wrestling competition who do you think would win: Moms, give-away bloggers or librarians? Actually I bet my Mom would win, she's got all those old "growing up on the farm" moves. Plus she makes up a large portion of my earlier readership.<br />

The girls are all in bed and I got to start school work a whole hour earlier than last night. I turned 43 today. I was considering going out dancing but instead hubby and I are sitting side by side at the kitchen table doing school work on our computers. But fear not, I did go and get my eyebrow re-pierced today. I'm eating blueberry cake from IKEA and life is good. <br />

The ideas I had before it arrived don't seem to mesh with the reality of the fabric in hand but I'm sure I will think up something great. I bought lots so i have lots to play with. Some denim, some really super soft black jersey, natural knit and a pretty blue knit and an olive green "cottony" kind of piece. It is all so soft. I first came across the idea of bamboo as material when I was ordering non-wool fleeces to spin in Montreal at art school. The bamboo was so shiny and silky and soft. Also bloddy hard to spin I tell ya! <br /><br />I'm thinking I may do some dye work wiwth some of this fabric. That was one class I couldn't take at art school being pregnant but that I find fascinating.Peace Sweet Peashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00065935917270306033noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30563471.post-69686245586829078762009-10-28T07:24:00.003-06:002009-10-28T07:29:55.053-06:00mennomy latest project is making me feel very menno. I decided last winter that I needed ski pants.. the kids have them and I'm outside with them andmy legs get cold and sometimes wet so I looked but couldn't find anything I liked. So with all the felting and bits of leftover sweaters lying around... I took a pair of maternity overalls and split open the leg. Now I'm piecing together pieces of sweater felt and sewing them on the inside of the leg. Having a bit of a hard time getting it all to lay flat. After I line it I'm going to cover the wool with something soft to stop it being itchy and I may cover the outside with some water resistant fabric or maybe just on the bum and knees. So it's fun but feels somewhat foolish too.
