I had a terrible evening yesterday. I'll be honest, I was stressed out beyond all belief, and even though the day started out just fine, it got bad. My school finally issued me my student teaching placement for January, but then decided that I have to fill out a huge stack of paperwork. I was not pleased. My fiance spent at least an hour on the phone with me, trying to convince me that it would be ok. Basically, I spent the rest of the evening listening to those silly videos that teach you things that anyone with common sense would know, but the schools require it anyway. It's nearly all done, but it required a stack of nearly finished projects and a glass of "apple pie" to keep me sane. --- Proof that yarn is therapeutic.
On a positive note:
I am so close to being back on track!!! Marie's progress (and
finish!!!) last week really inspired me to press on and finish some thing up. I'm not quite there yet...

| More craft show items! |
But still, I have made enough progress to feel super proud of myself. I have one craft show this coming weekend, and one the second weekend in December. I am nearly done with scarves for this coming one, but knowing my habits, I will be crafting up until the night before.
As for Christmas gifts, I have spent some time this past week attempting to finish something other than a craft show item, and I am pleased to say that I am nearly done with my recycled cotton rug. The last measurement read nearly 24" across. I didn't really have a size in mind, but I'll probably go until I run out of yarn-- and I'm getting close to that point. I do have more yarn in both colors that I'm using, but I'd rather not make this a giant project.
My plan is to have all my gifts done the week before the 25th, if not before.
I love the color on the rug. Congrats on being this much closer to your holiday crafting goals, and on finding out your placement.
ReplyDeleteCongratz on your Student Teaching placement! And Happy Thanksgiving. I can't wait to hear how the craft shows go.
