1) Who made you feel good this week, and how?
The lady who came into the art studio this afternoon and asked lots about what I was doing and said she'd hang one of my paintings on her bedroom wall. She asked all about my degree and said that she hoped some of my work would become actual fabric designs. I felt like a proper artist!

Oh, also the lady on the Gudrun Sjoden stall at the Knitting and Stitching Show on Sunday who estimated my size as 16. It isn't, but I like that she thought it might be.

2) What did you do this week that moved you closer to reaching your goals?
Ooh, this has been a good week for that. I had a long phone conversation yesterday with someone and I think there is potential to develop the Priscilla Programme way beyond what I had imagined would be possible. No decisions yet but definitely progress in the right direction. I also wrote a proposal for a different organisation who are potentially interested in making it happen as well. Exciting times!

3) What did you most enjoy doing this week?

I really enjoyed teaching this week's Lent course session. We're doing the Song of Songs and this week I was looking at how it relates to the wisdom books. There was a lot of plain speaking about feminism, sex, pornography and more. I admit, I enjoyed the session where my mother wasn't in the audience more.

4) What did you learn this week?
I learned how to deconstruct a notebook and a diary and reconstruct them into inserts for a traveller's notebook. I am ridiculously excited by this. At the moment, I'm using them in a traveller's notebook I made ages ago but it's the wrong size and I have ordered a new leather one which I am very impatiently waiting for.

5) What’s the funniest thing that happened to you this week?

I... can't think of anything. That's made me a bit sad. But really, it's been a very good week.

I missed last week's!

Would you rather [hobbies version]...


shop // sunbathe? I like both, but I think I would choose sunbathing with a good book. Especially now, when the sun feels like a very distant memory and my toes are cold.


dance // sing? DANCE.


watch college football // watch NFL? Neither, unless by watch you mean 'get on with knitting while chatting to friends in the same room as the TV happens to be showing sportsball'. I don't mind doing that sometimes.


write // read?
Read, but it's a tough call. When writing is going well, there's nothing so satisfying.


chat online with friends // hang out with friends? Chat online, duh. Have you even met me?
