Learning Something New...

...and there is nothing more humbling than struggling through learning something new. It is a good reminder to have patience myself with others! This little effort may take way too much coordination and thinking all at once for these old-ish brain cells to adapt to...I was exhausted by the time the lesson was over, and it was only an hour! I would get into the flow of spinning, and think "oh yeah, I am doing it now...." only to completely lose it, and struggle for the next 15 minutes, totally lost.
I am taking the class during my lunch hour with a co-worker, who is about the same age as Youngest Daughter, over the next three weeks. I was very good student, and practiced last night at home, then followed up with some knitting. I felt it important to go to end the day with a sense of accomplishment rather than a sense of frustration!
So WIP photos...first the Maple Seed Hat:

And the Alison's Scarf:Improving photography and photo editing skills are on the list of goals for the year. Note I said goals, not resolutions. Let's see, that makes the blog, acceptance of self (body-wise), photography and editing, spinning...so far a good list. I am pleased with the way the blog is going so far. I am learning a lot, and that, after all, is what it is suppose to be all about.
One more photo...I have two orchids, and this is the only time I have ever had one rebloom. What a gift!
