Well, it's over. I am so tired I can barely think straight. The jet lag, the excitement and the volunteering have all added up to me being a bit of a zombie. Let's hope that translates into getting some sleep on the plane home tomorrow.
Today I was a workshop assistant in Denyse Schmidt's improvisational patchwork class (together with the hilarious
Julie), which was so much fun. It was amazing to see her teach - she has a very gentle and inspirational style and made sure that everyone felt good about their work. We were really lucky that in the afternoon there wasn't much to do, and we had time to make a couple of blocks ourselves. The idea is that you choose fabric scraps without looking and, even if you hate them, sew them together into blocks. The universe seemed to be conspiring to make my blocks mostly blue. How did it know?
After class we went for dinner and then watched the Oscars. I'd never seen it before because of the time change thing, but I will confess to being astounded by the ridiculous quantity of botox being used by the actresses. So depressing. Maybe facial expressions somehow interfere with acting. Hmmmm.
Now I am going to bed before I literally fall onto my keyboard face first.
Hmmmm, I thought I was jealous before. I now realise it was nothing. You assisted Denyse?!? Such a dark shade of green right now :o)
ReplyDeleteIt will all seem like a dream now that it is over. And you were DS's assistant - HOW COOL IS THAT!!???
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you had a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteAmazing to bea part if I am sure. I have enjoyed seeing all the pics on Instagram. On a different note, I finished my version of the "per along" and blogged it today :) thanks for the inspiration
ReplyDeleteJust read through your last few posts. Looks like you've been having a blast. Hope the flight home is/was not too painful.
ReplyDeleteThinking of heading down to London on Sat, so maybe see you then
Really pleased you had a great time, fingers crossed for a snoozy journey home, and when you get back you can "rave" all about it to us some more, we wont mind, we can live vicariously through you! : )
ReplyDeleteAn assistant in Denyse Schmidt's class? Does it get any better? I love your blocks and I know you are going to be so inspired. So glad you had such an amazing time.
