design soup: thoughts on being a student again

during the spring of 2014 i began life as a student again, part time anyway, and in the evening. it's not a huge commitment but also not such an easy thing to do. thankful for a supportive husband and understanding children. somehow we make it all work. i started taking courses at mount royal university in the interior decoration extension program. they do have an interior design degree program and although i love the idea of doing that, i don't love the reality of doing that. so, the extension certificate it is.

so far i've completed three courses, introduction to interior design, colour and light, and perspective drawing and i start soft finishings at the beginning of february. when i registered for this course i also did a little planning in order to finish my program and get my certificate. i still have four courses to go. i'll take one a semester and should have it all done by this time next year. then the next phase can start. i'm looking forward to starting my next course. not only do i like textiles, the course is being taught by an instructor i've had before and she's fantastic.

as i go through my courses i'll post updates about my projects. in the meantime here's a look at some of the work i've done in my first three courses.
