well march is plodding along. we've all enjoyed having Jeff {husband} at home for a few days at the beginning of the month even if the circumstances weren't ideal. but he's back to work now and things settling back into their usual routine. i've got a few projects on the needles and a few more waiting in the wings.
i'm just realizing that i've never blogged about how the olympic challenge i entered panned out......I won silver! soooooooo exciting as i rarely, if ever, win things. it was a totally random draw for the prizes so i feel pretty lucky to have won. i was so excited in fact that as i was busy jumping around the living room in glee i stepped on one of my sons toys which caused me to knock the coffee table over onto my foot. if you knew me this wouldn't really be surprising. it reminds me of my first presentation in fashion school. we had to design and create an outfit from found objects and only 10% of the garment could be out of fabric. anyways, i designed a full , gathered skirt out of a road map and a bustier out of the inner-tubing of a tire. pretty cool but as you can imagine not exactly comfortable or sturdy. so there i am actually wearing this get-up and standing in front of my classmates whom i'd only met a few weeks prior. i go to take a step to the side while pointing to my inspiration board and turn my ankle lurching myself over and threatening to toss me, paper skirt and all to the ground. i can still hear the gasps of everyone and see the looks of horror on their faces. no doubt they were all glad it was me and not them. somehow i managed to straighten myself out and continue on with the presentation but it was not one of my finer moments let me tell you. thankfully the complete mortification i felt was quickly outweighed by the humor.
