| I completed my first shawl this past week... |
 |
| my first panel on my first dissertation... |
 |
| my first Valentine's Day without chocolate in the house... |
 |
| and I ended it by Gleaming the Cube for T4R1 of Nerd Wars (it's my 4th time doing it too) |
There were a lot of firsts this weeks, as you can see... not a lot of anything else. Today, we're having a pajama day because tomorrow has everyone a bit on edge. Sure, I'm still going to do laundry and clean up around here but I'm not getting dressed for the entire day... and perhaps I'll even be able to pick my dissertation project back up. I haven't touched it since Thursday!
I hope looking back over this past week, you find moments that make you smile and focus on them. We all have moments that bring us to tears or make us frustrated but it's more important to focus on the ones that have brought you joy - because wrinkles caused from happiness are way cuter than the ones caused from being miserable. They aren't even wrinkles at all - they're happy crinkles and I hope that one day, my face has it's fair share of them... as does yours.
I've been trying to figure this out with your posts for a while now, so I'm just going to ask. What is the dissertation? Are you actually doing a dissertation for a Master's degree on fiber arts or something? Color me nosy.
ReplyDeleteA Dissertation is a three-month long proposed project for Nerd Wars over on Ravelry. You have to submit your idea to the committee with a complete outline as to what it is and justify the need for three months to complete. Normal challenges in Nerd Wars last one round, which is one calendar month, so Dissertations are larger projects that you can do for points during the tournament.

Yeah to your shawl. It looks good.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Andi. I wish I had gone another pattern repeat but it seems to fit her fine the way it is I guess.
DeleteI think it is the perfect size for a shawlette.
