rose_of_painToday a tree on campus was planted and dedicated to the memory of Ian (my friend who died a year ago). They planted flowers and put a bench next to it. Its very pretty.
Amanda invited Gabi and I last minute to it. We weren't on the initial guest list for the event but then Amanda and others realized we should be there. Plus Ian's father thought it'd be a nice idea to have the origami cranes Gabi always makes on the tree. So we were asked to come, which I greatly appreciated as I didn't want to miss an event like that.
After we talked a bit around the tree, they fed us dinner (omg the food was amazing!) and Ian's father gave everyone pens made from wood he carved himself. o_o They're really impressive looking. Since Gabi and I were added last minute, he didn't have specific pens for us like he did for everyone else but he came with extras that he gave to us and they're actually thinner than the others which I prefer as I don't like thick pens. He also gave us all a photo of Ian in a frame.
I'm so grateful Ian's father did that. It's such a nice little way of remembering him.
In other news, still working on that evil video project. Didn't get as much sewing done as I had wanted to and I was aiming to do a little doll photostory but now its late so not sure how creative I am now so who knows.
