Patchwork!

I started class on Wed (Nov 2nd). First class was a little frustrating since I never worked with fabric before. I had to draw lines on the back so I can cut the blocks out... I kept on drawing the wrong lines... After 1 and a half hours of hard work, I finally got all of the blocks drawn and cut out.

One good thing was I wasn't too bad with needles, so it wasn't too bad. I started to put 2 blocks together, and eventually 4 blocks together.

Thursday was way too busy to even get anything done. But I managed to get most of my blocks into strips of 4 blocks.

Friday morning, I had a ton of work to do, but I still went to class. I didn't want to sit at home during the weekend thinking that I should have gone to class. Then I ended up learning how to put the strips together...

Getting home after work at 10PM Friday night, I was exhausted... but I couldn't help it, I had to finish it... I stayed up late and got one top piece done.
I am really glad that I took the chance and walked into the store... I don't think I am ever gonna give up on knitting and crocheting, but why not adding another item to my addictions?

I don't know what I did to them...

I wrote so many posts (actually 2 huge long ones) about my trip in the US as well as Mer and Charles' wedding... but I guess they took me so long to write, the my account got timed out... so I lost them. Of course, being the lazy girl I am, I don't feel like writing them again. :-P I guess pictures will do the job. http://photos.yahoo.com/wenwentaiwan

It's been really busy since I got back... work and work and work. Nothing else in my life anymore... But one day...

I finally got my notice to take the bartender exam, and also got a call from the classmate saying that we'll have an extra class to refresh our memories. That was a good thing... I needed it... Even though I already have the certificate from the US, taking a test here is really nerve breaking... There are so many rules to follow, so many things to remember. But just like Ian said, when you are making a drink in a dark smoky bar, who is going to notice what you did?? And really, when you are in a bar, which is more important, speed or rules? Hmm, just a thought....

Anywayz, so I went to the refresher class, and on my way back... I saw that the quilting class/store that was always closed was finally open. What did I do? I took a chance and walked in... a week later... I signed up for classes... Hey, I know I am not making a lot of money right now, but I've got a life ;-)
