Why 2014 is Going to Get Better (part 3)

Death: "THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN THE WORLD THAN ALCOHOL, ALBERT."

Albert: "Oh, yes, sir. But alcohol sort of compensates for not getting them.”

~ Terry Pratchett

So, 2014 isn't off to the greatest start...  It's still January, and I have already lost my grandmother and my gallbladder.  (For the record, I miss my grandmother more.)  

But I'm hopeful that things are going to get better.  (After all, the bar has been set pretty low and I'm out of grandparents and getting low on unnecessary internal organs...)  

So, for the rest of this week I'm going to post 3 big things that I'm looking forward to in 2014.  

---------------------------------------

The third big thing that I'm looking forward to in 2014 is attending the Handweaver's Guild of America's Convergence conference this summer!  

I've signed up for an incredible array of events, including a tour of the American Textile History Museum, and 5 weaving classes covering fabric analysis, weaving draft software, understanding why and how to turn your weaving draft, perfecting your selvages, and cutting into your handwoven fabric...  

By the time the week is over, my brain will be leaking weaving knowledge!  

And, hopefully, a college friend will be joining me for some portion of the trip - making the whole experience just perfect!  :)

You see, despite its inauspicious beginnings, 2014 is going to be a good year.  :)
