A year in wreathing

Image
It started with this simple yarn wreath, OSU colors, for my best friend. I was quite proud of my pom-poms. So a little over a year ago, I started making wreaths.  It started with a really simple yarn wreath... and I have done 26 wreaths since.  I took a lot of inspiration from Pinterest, but I like to think I improved upon wreaths I found there.  Some were given as gifts, some were taken to work to place on a door that is there and a few made it onto my parents' door as well.   Then I found something similar to this on Pinterest, but in different colors. That led to more argyle:  This wreath was for a charity raffle at work.  But now I know what baby shower gift I'll be giving from this point on... This was the first foray into felt flowers.   Spring wreath Mini spring wreath for a friend. Flag wreath for my Mom.   Beachy wreath.... a fan favorite I almost like the small one better... the balance is better on it

Why this non-traditional student is not a fan of post secondary students

Post secondary students should not share space with extra non-traditional students.  I have always hated group projects, but adding in these high school kids--that aren't paying for the class as I am--into a group project that I have to do for my biology lab, is really just awful. Our project is covering GMOs, and we have a group outline due Wednesday.  I took the leader position of the group b/c a) I'm the oldest so it comes naturally to me, b) I want a good grade.  A week and a half ago, I emailed everyone in the group and told them to send me a few points about their portion of the topic by today so that I could compile the outline in time for Wednesday.   However, last Wednesday, no one had even checked their school email--addresses they all CHOSE to give me--so I reiterated everything I said about the outline in person, they all agreed.  One of the high school girls asked me what she should send me and I told her to watch for the email that the TA was going to send
