What's OT?

Just in case you're wondering what it is I'm studying - check out this hilarious "OT Rap" on You Tube that explains it pretty well!

Recent Creations

Whew - the first week of school was quite the ride! It hasn't been THAT long since I've been enrolled, but there is SO much administration to take care of that I just don't remember doing in undergrad. Thankfully our days are balanced with a little art-making in the afternoons to take the edge off - behold my collage! (and a sewing project beneath it)

At home, I finished the loopy cowl which looks like it could've crawled around on the ocean floor at some point.

And....the sewing is slow but great - finished a paneled skirt and have a baby tunic on the way for a shower coming up soon. Sewing is normally really fast & fun which is a great antedote to long days at school.

Alright, must get back to studying muscles of the shoulder - yeah, fun!

Loopy News

Today was one of the best birthdays I've had in a while and these last few days of vacation between work and school are doing wonders for my stress level.

Been knitting from the stash since I am on a yarn diet. Grabbed some purple wool and cast on for a project from the original Stitch & Bitch book - the Loopy Velez Cowl. I had low expectations, but the loops were a lot of fun and I think I could work this in the winter time. Should have a FO picture up by the weekend...

Today also brought a new permanent resident to our already crowded home, but I could hardly complain: a sewing machine! Woo hoo! Been craving one of these for years - knitting's getting a little competition!
