The odds that I lived

Use the world factbook to calculate the odds that I lived and translate that into a creation.

Knitting Statistics

Knit a blanket where every stitch is representative of a statistic. Every stitch could be one person who died, every stitch could be, one person on the earth, it would be an immense project to stitch 6.6 billion stitches, it could be a worldwide project. But I have already stitched 31,640 stitches into my the first third of the current scarf I'm knitting, it has taken me about 24 hours to create this. Use the CIA world factbook as a source for the statistics.

Now that you can do anything, what are you going to do?

Thinking philosophically about where I want to go with design.

Use design to enhance my understanding about the world, use my understanding of the natural world in my designs. Abstractions of deeper concepts about life. Create designs that inspire wonder. Communicate what I understand about life through my designs. Make sure there is a good reason why behind every design I make. A why that somehow goes deeper than the money, and makes my invested time valuable. Learn something greater while creating every design.

is home-making design?

Hmm, well if it is then I've been doing a lot lately, but if it isn't then there hasn't been much going on. I have lately, made a very successful thanksgiving dinner, baked lots of stuff (aka apple pies, cakes, cookies, and so forth) cooked somewhat extensive meals, been knitting a lot, bought a sewing machine, and decorated the kitchen of our dorm, and am in the process of making christmas ornaments. I have been told that I am nesting and my friends at work are convinced that I will be getting married in the near future. Don't tell my boyfriend (of 2 months) that. Don't know what else to say, what a let down, after having said nothing for practically 2 months. I'll try to be more entertaining next time.
