hello!

I am back from my blogging break! Schew... that last paper was KILLER! Getting back into the groove of school has been a bit more challenging than I thought. What I've found even more difficult is getting my brain back into analytical thinking and paper writing mode. For this last paper I had to do fieldwork, take photos, do background research and then write an analysis of my field work on a topic that no one has written on before. It was a major challenge. I did love it though... total nerd, I know. I just hope my professor loves it as much.

here is the cover for my term paper:

I basically looked at the backside of small-town Main Street and analyzed the organization and emphasis placed on the backside. EVERYONE looks at the front of the buildings and looks at that architecture, but no one pays attention to the back. So I went out about 20 miles from home and checked out a small town Main Street for myself.

I know this is a departure from sewing, craftng, decorating and DIY-ing but if I can indulge you in a couple photos of what I found to be interesting buildings... photos of the backs of the buildings, of course.

School isn't over and there are more crazy intense projects to come, but I hope to be back to regular blogging since I have some fun projects up my sleeve that I totally want to share.
