It’s Done !

I feel like shouting from the roof tops, but since the evaluations are anonymous I’ll just whisper it here instead. This week I finished my COE work and mailed it off for the evaluation process.

After working on the COE for the last year, and it consuming my life for the last few months, it feels strange not to have that deadline looming over me. I actually slept in this morning and it was bliss to putter around the house on a day off. I worked on several things today and felt good about starting to get my house back in order.

I would have loved to blog about the COE, but it didn’t feel right the way the judging is done. Once the outcome of the evaluation is announced, I will share some photos and some of the things I learned in my study. Until then, I’m looking forward to working on my website again and adding posts here on a regular basis. Tomorrow I get to can tomatoes and if I’m really efficient I might make it back to my loom for a bit of weaving — with no deadline!!

Congratulations! How long will it be until you hear? I will be checking back to see, and I do hope you will share what your focus was, what you learned, and pictures, of course!

The judging is not until the week of October 24th. I’m trying not to think about it until then and have lots of things on the list to get caught up to keep my mind busy. Today I canned the rest of the tomatoes my husband had picked. Timing was perfect for me and the tomatoes. :-)

Congratulations on completing the COE-Weaving requirements. I’m looking forward to seeing pics of your work and reading your comments on the program. It’s something I have wanted to do for many, many years.

Judging of the COE this weekend, right? I can’t help but wonder if, as it gets closer, occupies your mind a lot of the time. I can’t wait until you can share what your subject was, and what you learned in the process with us. Good luck! (Although, I’m sure you will succeed and luck will have had nothing to do with it.)

Cathy - Thank you so much for thinking about me!! I was sitting here clapping and laughing as I read your comment. It meant a lot to me!

Yep - judging is sometime around this weekend. I don’t know the exact date. I will be so glad when the waiting is over. But then I think, “What if I don’t pass?” I would rather just keep waiting that find out I didn’t succeed. oops - can’t let the doubt get a grip ~~ must thing positive thoughts!!! lol - hopefully next week I will be writing and posting pictures of some of my projects. Keep your fingers crossed. :-) and thanks again!!!
