Fall Festival

This was like, oh 2 weeks ago, but I got a little behind on my blogging. Amber came to Corvallis and we walked over to Fall Festival with Tuesday. The weather was beautiful the whole weekend, so it was a perfect weekend for it. Amber and Tuesday made a little plate with Tuesday's hand print on it. It was surprisingly un-messy...



Some shots of the little miss



My favorite batik artist was there as usual: Lisa Telling Kattenbraker
I got a chance to talk to her, and glean some secrets of her work. She was super nice, and willing to share all sorts of tips with me. The biggest one of all: an electric tjanting tool. I got it on Tuesday, and I'm hoping to use it one of these days! This year is crazy, I'm in Eugene almost full time, 5 days a week and I'm so tired when I get home. Luckily Fridays are the only really bad days. I woke up at 5:30 am. Went to school, cleaned teeth. Had a 10 minute lunch. Cleaned teeth. Got home at 6:30 pm. I'm still recovering today.
I guess Mondays kind of suck too...Injection day. Meaning I sit in the chair while a classmate practices mouth injections for the first time on me. I. Hate. It. And I cry. I will be SO happy when we are done with that. Only 8 more Mondays this term, then I'm done with those, thank god.

Oh my god Erin, injection days?!?! I would cry too! On a happier note we loved visiting with you at the festival! That dish is our new spoon rest. That day seems long ago now that the weather has changed!

I would totally cry as well. I HATE going to the dentist for that reason alone.
