Twinkle stars,

I have been stressed out of my mind! When I am stressed it can go one of two ways.... either I hide out in my room and make
paper stars or
straw stars (which have no purpose at all except keep me away from my loved ones, which can be best for all parties involved) or I can simply tell everyone what's on my mind. This week I did both, I made a handful of paper stars trying to think about something positive in my week, I am still having trouble finding something good. On the other hand, I had no troubles at all telling people what I thought about my week, boy have I been expressive these past few days. Going back to school has been very far from being fun, it's been awful, the classes for the most part are boring, I even skipped a class to avoid confronting a teacher. We started learning on machines and let's just say that although we were pretty motivated and excited about it on wednesday by friday afternoon 4 students were missing with about half the class wishing they had skipped the day...
The Tovesta bag is slowly coming along, I just haven't had the chance or interest to knit recently. You'd think that with fall coming along but frankly even the latest Knitty isn't doing it for me. There are some nice designs but I don't see myself wearing any of them. As if I usually even wear what I knit anyways, sigh I'm such a sad case. LOL! What can I say, I love to knit I really don't care about the finished product...
I stopped by the place I had my internship yesterday, boy do I ever miss that place, the people working were all really nice to see again. I hope I will be back there in a few weeks, it's always fun to go back to somewhere you actually know someone. It's been tough at school and in the lab but I try to stay focused on the end product. Like a co-worker told me yesterday, it's investing in the future so I just gotta tough it out as best as I can. ;)
I'm sorry for being such a boring blogger lately, it happens each year when I renew my blog domain. Then a few days after I always feel like I can't keep blogging anymore. LOL! My mind is pretty far fro knitting at the moment, every day seems like a final exam is about to come so I keep focus it will all be over soon enough.
hugs,

Yep, keep your eyes on the prize. You'll be fine :-)
Hang in there! The end result will be worth all the struggles, and you will be so proud of what you have achieved.
PS -- Those paper stars look so cool! How do you make those?
Oh, I hope you are feeling better... It must be so hard, but hang in there... Those are beautiful stars :)
Lovely stars, they are so cute.
Oh, you'll have so much fun with Lady Maple! Lendrums are great... Pretty soon you'll have a huge fiber stash!
Merci de ton commentaire sur les pantalons de ma Miss ;o)
Merci pour les liens sur les "paper stars". je cherchais depuis longtemps un site pour apprendre l'origami ;o)
I had to dig out my last remaining paper star paper yesterday after reading your post.
Taught my daughter and 2 of my friends how to make them :)
Then we got brave and tried to make them out of ribbon - big stars.
Thanks for making us have a fun time.
