So today I got en email saying that I was starting the course and could log on to check what was going to be happening in the first week! Well I was that excited that I just decided to watch the first video, I learn better by taking notes while people are talking and three and a bit pages letter after an 8 and a half minute video, I was even more excited. The course I am finding so interesting and I just want to learn more, It's like my brain is a sponge that is absorbing everything. I can't wait to be able to learn all these new things and then be able to put them in to action. I also find it so odd or maybe Ironic is the better word that i started off doing a series for this blog on 'How the horse works' and then a few weeks later a course about Equine Nutrition appears for free. At the minute it seems like luck is on my side and things are just falling into place.
Today I haven't really done much after two massive branches fell down at an old couples house across the road from me that are good friends, my shoulder has been really really aching. The branches happened to be a lot heavier than I was expecting them to be and when I was carrying them they felt like a heavy weight on that one arm and it didn't bother me after I finished carrying them. Then when I woke up this morning my ligaments/muscles in my shoulder were just aching way too much and felt too tight. So I have just spent time resting it today.
The only thing that I really did today was some textiles work, it's not for school or course work it's something that me and my mum agreed to make for my sister. It's one of the cultural suits that are worn with the sparkling fabrics and pretty embroidery and my sister asked us if we could make one for her, but she didn't have any patterns just a internet picture and a quick look at an old one that she has got. So me and mum have drawn all the pattern pieces from scratch and have got some but not all of my sisters material so couldn't do any more. Then tonight I pinned the pattern pieces to some old fabric that my mum has got and cut them out adding a seem allowance. So tomorrow If i feel like it I can just get on with pinning the pieces together and doing some sewing. As much as I don't like the choice of clothing I think that it is something that is going to push my textiles skills giving me a better chance to improve them.
Whats next? For me the best news ever the snow has gone! For those of you that know me you'll know that I think that the snow looks lovely but I am accident prone so me and snow don't go together. After a really heavy downfall of snow on friday night, Saturday night there was a big downfall of rain that cleared the majority of the snow away meaning it wasn't as slippy/dangerous for me and also that I should be able to ride Gatsby this weekend!
Oh another bit of good luck, I got some business cards for free for Rosamber Photography. I was looking at Huddle Buy and sent mum a bit about it and she started looking in to it more and found a page that was for free business cards, the only thing you had to pay for was P&P and I think it was really good. Let's hope look stars on my side and that things keep getting better.
Until Next Time
