Guess what?
They let me into grad school! It’s all official and everything! I even have an academic advisor!
Perhaps it goes without saying, but I will say it anyway, that I survived getting the undergraduate degree. Next week I should have decent pictures and can update the blogosphere on what I’ve been making lately. Some of it’s quite pretty!

Update!
*kicks the blog*
Flogging a dead horse, perhaps? I know I won’t be up to much posting this month either, so don’t think this is a full revival. Thankfully I never took my status as “blogger” very seriously.
On the “making things” front, well. Next week I teach a workshop for however many teenagers show up on how to do Asian stab-binding, and with luck I’ll bring back pictures. I’m also getting the cast iron book press sandblasted, by the favor of a wonderful classmate.
On the “personal” front, this is my final semester as an undergrad. October is the craziest month I will have to endure this semester, as I have one normal class, one online class, one accelerated class, and one culminating project. I take the GRE on the 29th, and can then proceed with my applications to grad school. But who knows? I might post a bit, since I’m already going to be spending an untold quantity of time at my computer. 
But here’s my little book. I tried doing this one on a rigged up sewing frame, and I find that I prefer sewing over tapes to sewing over cords. but it worked well enough, and I covered it with this lovely aqua suede and tied it with blue suede lacing and a button. I think I’m going to try to do more with buttons on these things, I like the look.

Would you believe…
that I forgot I had a blog for a couple of days? It’s been ridiculously busy. We’ve been making a solar system and I’ve been prepping for a fair. So there’s been stuff, but I’ve been exhausted and forgetting to blog.
The fair was abysmal. Absolutely abysmal. Anyone who runs across this? the Valentine’s Craft and Jewelry Festival for the Freedom Intermediate School of Franklin, Tennessee should be avoided at all costs. The organizers are incompetent. A first-year business student could do a much better job.
Admittedly, it was a first-year fair, and you take your risks with those, but GOOD GRIEF. When there is so little advertising that vendors outnumbered customers by at least 2:1 all day? You’ve been stupid. When all your vendors are freezing because you couldn’t be arsed to find out how to turn on the heat? You’ve been stupid. When 50% of your vendors PACK UP AND WALK OUT three hours before you wanted them to leave? You’ve been stupid.
They obviously lack the basic sense to keep this going. If you tick off all the vendors to this degree… no one will come back and make your event big enough to actually raise money. I do not believe that any of us will be returning.
Especially because vendors like to talk on the internet.
Pictures of the stuff tomorrow, I forgot to take any because my brain was addled by the cold.
