We have finish college for the Christmas break and I feel like I have earned a little bit of down time but still seem to have loads of home work to do and thats without all the stuff I thought I might do as well!!! We got our Minor project module marks back and its safe to say I got off to a good start and now just have to keep up the good work!!!
In reality I'm not doing it for the marks but being totally honest it is really nice to get a good grade and know that all the hard work and passion is recognised and noted accordingly... its a real confidence boost and very encouraging.
So its on to the FINAL MAJOR PROJECT (FMP) - We have rewritten our new learning agreement and set a new action plan in place - I'm aiming for several scarf collections - all based on the imagery I have gathered and collated in the minor project - there is a lot to go at. I have made an action plan and already I'm way off beam, I realised quite quickly that while I had a plan I needed to off load, for want of a term, all the crazy ideas that have been flying around my head for the last few weeks as I collected and experimented with images and photographs. So I have allowed myself this week to just play and release those ideas some of which may develop further and others which seemed like a good idea a I lay awake at 4 in the morning but on paper just look a bit naff.....
We had a lovely afternoon almost relaxing over some alternate embroidery - sewing a bit of bling which had been inspired by seed pods, trailing ivy and the wonderful work of @jessica_rosestitch,
In among this there was a general election which hasn't turned out quite the way I personally would have hoped but I did the only thing I could do and that was to vote - what will be will be and its not worth losing sleep over - I can do that over college work and moving house issues which in the short term affect me more- I wish the country could have seen the long term implications of a government which led us into austerity and made us global laughing stock - its scary how they have managed to be reelected!!!! there is more to politics then brexit as we will discover over the next 5 years!!!
