Catch-up Day

I didn’t work on the dresses at all today.  This was a catch up day, fueled mainly by the guild meeting tonight.  So I finished the handwork, so I could show my newly finished coat and dress for show and tell.  There was a lot going on tonight, since last month’s Jockey Hollow meeting was cancelled from the snow.  Bri baked pound cake cupcakes on Tuesday night, and a key lime pie, since we were responsible for the desserts for this meeting, and new officers were being elected for the 2009-10 year, (guess who was elected vice president in charge of programming….), and we had to exchange all our wefts for the placemat exchange.  And on top of that, I was the speaker for the evening, giving my presentation on the challenge project I blogged about on January 16th, Project Six. I spent most of the day reviewing the presentation, copying it to my laptop, making last minute changes.  Since this was the first time I’d given this presentation, I had no idea how long it would take.  I’m pleased with the way it went, got lots of compliments on the presentation, and I came in at an hour and a half.  Which for me is good…

So I’m hoping to get some response from the HGA, granting permission, and then I can offer the disk to any guild who would like to offer it as a program, I think it stands fine without me, and the guild can project it as a PowerPoint presentation, on the year long collaborative process of designing an ensemble for the runway, with yarn you didn’t pick, in colors you wouldn’t ever wear, unless you lived in a tropipcal climate, and working with someone you’ve never met.  It is a great story and I’m really proud of the result.  Stay tuned…
