I haven't been blogging for the longest time. The first week of semester was not too bad, i was still able to come faithfully to this site and blogged twice, but after that, it became a continuous running of projects, homework and due dates to meet. Luckily, today, i had the mood and some time to drop a few updates.
Last Sunday was the end of daylight saving = which means that the time was moved forward by 1 hour. 1 hour might not seem a big deal. but it means, LESS 1 hour of sleep and that affects alot! :( and also, i felt that i am rushing through time and trying to do more things to gain back that 1 hour.
I am starting on a new sewing project. We are assigned to do 2 pieces of garments that we find on the runway and sew it up. I am going to do 1 dress and 1 coat. I just finished sewing my dress sample and it looks somewhat like the image, but i think there are lots more alterations to be done. I have 5 weeks including a week of "spring break" to do 2 pieces. It is alot of work, considering this is my 1st time making my own pattern without teacher's demonstration. My senior, Winnie, she did 4-5 times of sample for 1 piece of garment for her final collection fashion show. Clothes making is really time-consuming.
Other than school work, I am also helping out Winnie with her final collection. Running errands and doing random things. Learning quite a bit from her. It really benefits to see how other students are working and learn the good things and put it in my own working habits.
I've been reading this book called "Insights" by Gordon Onslow Ford. This is an image book displaying his drawings that he sees when he is in deep sleep. The paintings are child-like drawings and he wrote different quotes with it. I find his quotes very inspiring and i'm going to share it with you. Overcoming demons or seeing through them offers an opportunity for a growth of consciousness. Face the demon and see what happens. Have faith in the mysterious functioning of the Universe. Miracles happen through acting according to intuitive certainty about hidden laws. They are all my favorites. :)
