Getting ready...

Busy getting ready for this summer...so much to get done before Sunday! Packing, cleaning, dog to the vet, cleaning, doctor appt., packing, shopping, cleaning, packing... This Sunday I am leaving to spend the next three months away from home, in a couple of different places. The first 3 weeks are at the University of Akron; basically needlework bootcamp and preparation for our internships later on in the summer. The program is being organized by TNNA, and while I'm not quite sure what to expect, I'm sure it will be interesting! Then I head to Penland for 2 weeks, to take a really cool wearable couture class from an awesome mixed media artist. After that, I head back to Ohio for my internship with designer/author/fibery guru Shannon Okey. I'll get back home at the end of August, just in time to unpack and head back to school. So, I basically have to have everything I'm going to need over the next 3 months crammed into my (little) car when I leave on Sunday. Not to mention leaving my dog and house for the summer...they'll be fine, but I'll be homesick! Actually, I take it back - I'm not sure I'm going to have a chance to be homesick!

Off to do some more packing...and cleaning...
