The semester has been going for a while now and I'm severely dedicated to mastering the craft of Blacksmithing. I will not let certain techniques get me down, I just keep making it happen. I'm getting better and stronger every day.
But I suppose that working on the anvil 3 or 4 days a week 4 hours at a time will do that do you.
I haven't made much, just some sample work. (Ok, I've made 2 shit upsets and one that's workable.) I will make an upset and it will be pretty. Ya'll know how stubborn I can get.
Being in the Yoop has really affected me. In such a good way. I've lost 20 pounds and been able to maintain it, I've been working at walmarts and my department manager is pretty sweet making the job more tolerable, and I've been making things again.
The most important is the last. I've been making things again. I've been making things for class, then my friends asked me to make them some hats, and thus, the Zombie hat for Tommie was made. I'm working on a Boba Fett one for my friend Cristin.
All is well.
Love,
Olivia
