“A good day for playing hooky…”
Thursday, July 20th, 2006That’s what the weatherman said this morning on the radio. That lovely (or terrible) hot weather _everyone_ else is enjoying is making it’s way to Vancouver and today will be a lovely 26°C. But no playing hooky for me today — there is a ton of work to do.
Congrats to [Betzig of Stitchcounter](http://www.stitchcounter.blogspot.com/) who was the randomly-drawn winner for the contest! _And thanks to everybody for the lovely birthday wishes!!_
It’s funny, a few years ago, I was trying to decide whether or not I should go to art school, full-time (after having already completed a Bachelors at UBC — because I’m crazy about school?!?). In the end, I decided against it since I would have graduated at 29 and I really, genuinely felt that by 29 I shouldn’t be “starting” my life… that I should be “complete” with a proper career, proper husband, proper family and lifestyle, _blah blah blah_. Well, life just doesn’t turn out as you expect, eh? If, at that time, someone had told me that I’d be dyeing my own yarn with ground up bugs, spinning yarn from raw fleece, or completely obsessed with weaving… I would have laughed.
But here is the beauty of where things are at… inspired, energetic, passionate and unfinished:
By the way, spinning cotton? _So_ humbling.
