Perfect Cup

Christmas Season is Here

While skyping this morning, Miss Julia Patton came in her holiday's best. Her outfit was too perfect not to "screenshot." Sadly, she noticed me taking a picture of her and had to have a take two.

A Journey in Passing

Flying Colors

(my duck sweater)

I have finished my art history exam and had my final critiques today. I think I passed with flying colors. Let us have one more final. Tonight, I am having one final night of knitting, Felicity, and Blowing Smoke (barbecue) with three girls: one officially a Fibers major, one a Fashion Design major, and one a Fashion Marketing major. Tomorrow morning is when we officially depart for winter break, driving the good ole 17 hours back to Dallas. Weirdly enough, I am going to miss the little schedule I have become so familiar with here. It is a little sad because I was just beginning to feel good about this place. Don't get me wrong, I felt good about this place from the beginning, but now I feel hopeful for the next three and a half years. It is crazy. This for sure is not the college experience, but this is what I want more than anything. I am just beginning to process this past quarter and am sure it will take many months for me to sort out what I have been learning. I have mixed feelings about going on break, yes, but half of those are feelings of excitement about being back in Dallas.

For now, I will listen to a little Jonsi, put on my duck sweater, and continue to pack.

Here, There, and Everywhere

Bits and Pieces: Here, There, and Everywhere

With a little under two full days left here, I have one art history exam, one design critique, and a little packing and cleaning here and there. That is not a long list of things. This week is almost over and I feel that a lot of my thoughts and feelings have come together in a whirlwind the past few days. I am no longer tired, but so excited for what is next. There is much to look forward to. I will go ahead and say it...I feel in limbo. I am homeless for the time being. I carry a home in my heart and it is no longer a place but the people I am around. I am so thankful. I will explain in a very heart warming Thanksgiving post. For now, I know this is where I am supposed to be. In just four days, I will be sitting on my couch at home trying to decide where to take miss Julia Patton for her first Dallas meal. My "TO DO" list is moving towards just how to spend my time over break and I am ready for that. I love you dearest family and friends and cannot wait to see you and hear what you have been up to. I will also post after the GA to TX road trip with pictures and such. There will be many knitting pictures, broken window pictures, singing pictures, sleeping pictures: the most exciting of things! I will leave you will a little something something. Do not be fooled. That is not me in the picture, but if it was I would have cried with the success of making something so fabulous. Knitting Fever, anyone?
