What week is this?

...oh ya, end of week 6. I don't know what to write about this week. There must be someone else in my head, if I am at a loss for words.

Let's see... I had a busy, but good, week. I officially applied for graduation and the feeling that came over me was sort of unexpected. We have to apply early, and I never knew why. But, it was my time to apply, so I went in to my online profile and went through the steps. When the screen popped up that it was submitted, I was stuck in a daze. A good daze. The type where your head gets all light and cloudy, like you just fell in love. I'm a dork. Then I found out why we need to apply so early. (feeling subsides) We need to have our version 1 portfolio designed and approved before we can can take our final class, which is portfolio. So we design a portfolio, to get approved to design a portfolio. HA. The good news, is at least I know my work is good to go BEFORE I do the super sexy portfolio and attempt to pass. Aside from all of that, I sat at my computer for so long my leg fell asleep for pretty much the whole week. My poor body. Saturday I was looking for any excuse to procrastinate and found a great way. On our way home from laundry we walked by the Southie "antique shop" and they actually had an antique! It was this insanely beautiful 1800s dry sink, that we got for way less than we should have. I took it home, vacuumed the spiders out, wiped it down and then took pictures of it. It smells like old wood, but I lit incense in it and closed the doors. Now it smells like an old hippy. :)

OK, enough rambling. (Guess I did have a lot to write)

Website
I made some good progress this week, even though I only got through about 1/2 of what I thought I could. Building these pages is so time consuming, but now that it is getting tightened up, it is really rewarding. Tons more to do, but looks like we will start coding next week. EEK!

Book
Of course, I get working on the book again and make more work for myself. I worked on it till the later hours in the night, then spend the night dreaming about it. Which ends up in the usual "I can't wait to get out of bed and work out my ideas, which means I'm not sleeping" situation. My new ideas involve re-doing my whole binding method, and re-working my structure. Dammit! The plus side is the binding is going to be so much better, because I am working in signatures, and each section of the book will be its own signature. So this creates a really nice system for organizing the information in the book. I blame this all on Pinterest... a website full of endless kinds of inspiration which makes my mind wander.

Still not ready to show my work yet, so here is my pretty dry sink for this weeks visual. I decorated it with some other old pieces we have. billow camera, A Midsummer Night book, and the pictures of my grandparents when they were 18. I really went all out with procrastination.
