Present Joys

• Received the welcome, unexpected news that our package design final is due the following monday. It’s about time.
• Got completely stood up for friendship lunch on monday. All my friends are way too busy this time of year.
• Put in a bunch of hours to finish my Big Cooking Project for Burleigh early.
• Presented my Big Cooking Project on tuesday morning, even though I wasn’t scheduled to present until thursday. It was nice to get it done ahead of time.
• Draped cowl-necked bodices and peg skirts with Cheryl Steele.
• Made some really really killer booklet mockup templates. (The drop shadows and gradients are top notch.)
• Used said booklet mockups to present yet another final project for yet another class (advanced type).
• Spent the majority of my free time constructing my knit dress project for Draping or working on my package design finals. No rest for the wicked.

Thine’s all the glory / man’s the boundless bliss

The Lord is ris’n indeed! Hallelujah!
Now is Christ risen from the dead,
And become the first-fruits of them that slept.
Hallelujah, and did He rise? did He rise?
Hear it ye nations! hear it, Oh ye dead!
He rose, He burst the bars of death
And triumphed o’er the grave.
Then I rose, then first humanity
Triumphant passed the crystal ports of light
And seized eternal youth.
Man, all immortal hail,
Hail heaven, all lavish of strange gifts to man,
Thine’s all the glory,
Man’s the boundless bliss.
