I haven't cheated yet. And I won't, darnit. I will finish this super secret project and get it out to its intended owner. Said owner has no idea it is coming and no idea it's even being created. Hence the super secret part. I do really enjoy surprising people with things and I hope the handmade goods are appreciated.
Knitting time has been cut - pretty dramatically, actually. I have 4 more classes to take to complete the Medical Coding curriculum at AHIMA online. I stopped for quite a while simply because it wasn't fun anymore. If something you are doing voluntarily becomes...not fun, stop. With 8 classes under my belt already, I decided to start the next class: CPT Coding Part II. It was a beautiful day yesterday, so I opened the windows on each side of my computer desk and did homework for about 3 and a half hours. And you know what? It was fun again. Yay for taking a break to get the mojo back!
This Friday I'm heading to another fiber event. This time it's in Greencastle. Very excited even though I need no yarn and no, I haven't started with my new drop spindle yet. It's there, it's waiting, it won't mold and die.
I did forget to blog about the Bloomington Handmade Market. A friend and I took a road trip to check this out. What I noticed was no yarn, no knitted goods (aside from a few baby booties at one table). Very very shocking. There were a lot of binders selling journals and such, a few homemade soap people (of which one I purchased 4 bars of soap - *swoon*). It was fun seeing a crossstitch booth. I purchased a smutty bookmark pattern from her. Nice stuff there, really, just surprised there was so little yarny goodness. At least I see a niche now!
After the market we headed to Upland Brewery. If you are in Bloomington, Indiana, you must go! The food is awesome and the beer is pretty frickin' great. Frickin'. Great.
I'll be blogging about the upcoming fiber fest this weekend. See ya!
