I decided to dedicate this post to Brittany Watson, one of my friends from the program I did this summer in Copenhagen (DIS). I just moved into a new house this September and have been able to paint our rooms! Brittany has a slight obsession with the color yellow and it may have rubbed off on me. I painted these yellow stripes on the white walls of my funky shaped room and according to one of my roommates, Sydney, refers to it as the "yellow circus".

Welcome to the new blog!
Hello everyone!
I have decided that I loved blogging so much and I would actually start one for everyday things and not just on my travels (though I plan to create individual blogs for specific travels in the future). I have been inspired to continue and will do so on various things, whether it be events in my life, interests, projects I am working on or anything else. This specific post is dedicated to Sherri Smith, my fiber arts professor. Sherri is a bit crazy, sometimes in a good way and sometimes not so. She has other interests besides fibers and they include birds and mushrooms (to eat). Yesterday as I was working on my print in class, she made it clear that she had gone mushroom hunting and found hen of the woods mushrooms and was planning on giving a portion to whomever wanted. Since I now cook 90% of my meals, I was enthusiastic about receiving not only free food but another ingredient to experiment with in the kitchen. I followed Sherri to where she was keeping the fungus and was shocked when she opened the large paper bag and revealed the giant mushroom! She cut me off a portion and a centipede crawled out from inside! I screamed and then quickly wrapped it up in paper to bring home and cook. It was rather tasty if I do say so myself!
The content in this image is around 20% of the original mushroom.
