14 of 30 - cloud between the trees?

I'm on day two of a self-directed course called 'The Artist Way' I started on Monday. It's three months long and it reminded me of that idiomatic phrase - can't see the forest from the trees. Many people know this about me but I don't get these types of phrases. Things like 'kill two birds with one stone' or 'gold at the end of the rainbow' I just misuse the terms. But, when I was thinking about the course this phrase popped into my head and I became quite excited with my ability to properly apply a phrase to my experience. Clever, eh? I must admit I needed some help getting past the fact that 'can't see the forest from the trees' is not proper English but I did get finally get it. I think the difficulty with this dialect of English is because my peeps (ie ancestors) we're speaking a different language so intuitively I don't get it.

About Me

I’m really interested in making things, obsessed with learning things and even more obsessed with sharing what I’ve learned with friends and family. I’m constantly exploring something new, getting excited about it and blathering on. Whether it be cooking, how to knit, learning how to take photographs with my new fancy camera - it doesn't matter, I’m an equal opportunist. If you want to tag along, welcome and enjoy just don't expect a method to my madness.
