Pre-Class Jitters

January 27, 2008

I’ll be teaching an Image Editing Basics Class and the first of the three sessions is Tuesday. Predictably, I have pre-class jitters. Thought I’d try to write some of it out while I wait for the handouts to print. The camera club has had some nay saying about Photoshop and image editing. But I think it’s starting to turn around. My hope is to help the editing newbies to not feel lost and enjoy learning about it. Thus putting the kibosh on the nay saying. (Crossing my fingers.) There’s a fair amount of legistics with most everyone bringing a laptop, and me brining 2 desktops.

Anyway – what in the world else has been going on?

Had a photo shoot with another friend’s kiddo last Friday. Haven’t finished editing the pictures. Will put one up when I can think past the class.

Got to take a sock class to learn toe up socks and catch up with several of my “crafters anonymous” friends. Will try to finish my doll sized sock before the next session on Wed. (Need to figure out this “wrap stitch” thing. The directions I have make NO sense.)

Today was such a fabulously warm day, I begged hubby to take my son sledding. Has new sled for Christmas that just got used today. The boy loved it.

Not long after my last post, I finished sewing 22 sets of otedama bean bags for the kiddos in my boy’s class (good portion of that was by hand – thus I showed my “love” to each little kid with all the pin pokes in my hands). Valentine’s day and otedama (Japanese bean bag game)? They go together because I say they do. Get it? Good.

Otedama Set

Found some incredibly cute fabrics for easter to make an Easter dress for my daughter.  Not sure which I’ll use for her Easter dress.
