Well, where did the time go? Twelve days and it's been total madness. Where have I been this time?
Funny you should ask. I have after brief but very intense deliberation decided to go back to school. What the heck – why? Well, because I've been feeling a little directionless on some level, not with my work, or my friends, or my knitting, but just in a kinda general, time to kick it up to the next notch kind of way. In a I'm-about-to-turn-30-and-should-have-some-sort-of-plan kind of a way. I just dropped my application for a second bachelors degree in Painting/Drawing at CCA, my friendly local art school…(we'll see if I finish or if I bail out for grad school, south africa, or points unknown after the first year!)
So…I have been up to my eyeballs in FAFSA, application forms, portfolio shooting on my front porch, soul-searching and the like, for the last two weeks. I'm both excited and totally petrified. I mean, I have anxiety nightmares about waking up and realizing I never finished school the first time (visiting my deploma which lives in my parents' house strangely doesn't alleviate the dreams.)
Anyway this will be a different kind of FO show – I just sent off a disc of images to some stranger I don't even know at the Enrollment Offices of CCA(C) (the last C is silent!!! ha haha ha) so why not show you, who know me in a real and/or cyber kind of way? So here we go…
And in other breaking news (well, not really, but I only just got to write about it now) I will be travelling with my family to Ecuador in two days time!!! EEEEK and there is much to be done. Wanna see what a chicken with its head cut off looks like? Drop in and visit me tomorrow.
So I will be gone from blog land for the next month or so, but I'll be back with some (hopefully!) fine pictures of the Galapagos, the Amazon, and the area around Cotopaxi volcano. And hopefully some lovely raw "smelly yarn" as Elaine Kim likes to call it. (The smell would be the lanolin they leave in the wool – good stuff!)
And here is hoping that life is splendid for one and all this June! I'll miss you all!

My goodness! Who knew you were so talented at so many different things! Clearly you've made a great choice to go back to school and cultivate your gift. It will be exciting to see where life takes you with all your talents!
How nice to see some of your art work---it looks great. And I am missing you already so I hope that trip is good. And did you take some knitting? We forgot to talk about "travel knitting" ---a very specific genre.
Hello I just entered before I have to leave to the airport, it's been very nice to meet you, if you want here is the site I told you about where I type some stuff and make good money (I work from home): here it is
You are blessed and inspiring! I love your Chuck Close rendition! Lots of gifts and talents here!
