1.8 grams of wool became 3 yards of yarn, woven into six square centimeters of fabric.

Just trying stuff.

Working on a pot from Tuesday that turned out funky. Hair in eyes.

Pottery classes started tonight.

LOVED it.

Happy birthday, Mom and Franny!

And I got chocolate.

and ran through the woods

and made crepes...

We hiked to the top of Smith Mountain and climbed the look-out tower to get this view. On the top of Alabama.

The view down...

My view from my office. The light. The light.

Afterschool day with yarn... and fibers... and KoolAid

Strangely, I found both these views to be compelling today.

Walking to work.

Now, driving seems like a strange thing.

I have not really lost weight in this month+ of daily walking at LEAST 3 miles a day in addition to the 1.5 miles I typically get just going about my day, but I feel different.

Rabbit Rabbit. Went for  night walk and the misty foggy air was pretty beautiful. I've been going on a lot of night walks by myself lately.

My brother Wm and I walked 10 miles today around DC in the snow. Snow on the ground, not in the air. I had on my little black boots and surprisingly didn't get any blisters. We had lunch at an organic salad place and a coffee at Starbucks. Then I left for the airport and had a harrowing time getting home. Subway... airport... flying... ATL airport... driving back to Auburn.

I had dinner tonight in DC with my dad, J, and baby sister. We ate at a Mexican place. It gave me a wicked headache, unfortunately. Here is a photo of the streets of DC before we had dinner and I was just walking around. I took the Metro to this part of town, and back again.

I have a couple meetings in DC and flew up today. When we got to the snowy parts, it was amazing to look down and see the bare trees and snowy areas. After I landed, I took the Metro to the area where my hotel was, and checked in. Went to an organic salad place for dinner and just settled in for the night.

My knitting club (called STEAM Studio) is going well. You can see one student made progress after only one week! 

1-24-16

This is what I did all weekend. Linen curtains. They didn't turn out perfectly and I don't know what to do to make them hang straighter.

1-22-16

Working on a new knitting project, drinking hot chocolate. 

Today we finished up interviews for the SER position I'm on the search committee for.

I love this purple Malabrigo yarn.

Just had to post this of Jes and Aza. They are my superheroes.

1-19-16

Winter flowers in my houseplant Sta gave me when I turned 50.

Sewing on Aza's birthday today.

1-17-16

Dan and I want to JoAnn Fabrics in Columbus today so I could buy some linen for some curtains. Afterwards, we went on a walk by the river. I made some friends at the fabric store!

1-16-16

We got a newish car just like our oldish one. Same make and model, same color, just a few years newer and automatic instead of manual. Squirt keeps the stick shift one.

1-15-16

Keeping on keeping on. Maybe eventually I will shed some pounds. I've walked over 10,000 steps every day this year.

Another life lost.

My sweet student on the Bay in 2003.

Please, people, do not suicide. Talk to someone who loves you. Your pain is our pain too.

1-13-16

Still beautiful.

Today was the first day of class this semester. What a good semester it appears to be. Only one class and one intern. One afterschool program. One search committee. Not bad compared with last semester.

1-12-16

A week ago we had a friend to dinner and he brought these roses. How can they still be beautiful 9 days later?

1-10-16

Look at this stash of new yarn headed to an afterschool program I'm starting tomorrow!

1-7-16

Walked this afternoon with Dan in this wooded part of town. Walked to CVS and back tonight. Seven days in a row of 10,000+ steps.
