'Ello Friends and Happy 2010!
I'm going to attempt a photography project this year that will require me to snap and post a picture a day here. We'll see if I can keep this up! :)

Thank Ya Kindly, 2009
It's that time of year to look back and evaluate the last 365 days of your life. So, what better way to remember than in list form? :) (In no particular order) 1. I completed the majority of the goals on my list of things to make this year. Ha cha! 
2. I met some amazing new people this year. Many of whom I now consider some of my nearest and dearest.
3. I was cast and performed in three plays. Two childrens's shows (The Nerdy Girl and The Intergalactic Dog & Judith Lynn: A Story of the Sea) and my first Restoration comedy (The Wonder: A Woman Keeps a Secret).
4. Discovered new music. Not all of it came from this year, but it's new to me. With the said, Fanfarlo's Reservoir is my favorite album of the year. It's amazing from start to finish.
5. As in recent years, I attained new textile skills and ideas.
6. Traveled. Granted, I went to places that I've already been, but I had family there and that's always a good thing.
7. Fell in love with Doctor Who.
8. Saw many friends get married and engaged and participated in their nuptials in one way or another.
9. I was cast in Vanishing Points which goes into rehearsals in January. I 'm thrilled to start working on this play!
10. Rode my bike!
11. Took a class at Lil Street Art Center that opened my eyes to what I can do with screen printing and makes me want a dark room of my own.
12. I made a swap with Beefranck of Mr. X Stitch, which made me ten kinds of happy. To Beefranck:
From Beefranck:
13. Was given Nancy Sinatra's country album for Christmas. The best present I've gotten in a long while.
14. Found myself a sweetie who's...well....made me the happiest I've been in ages.
15. I've learned to appreciate the little things even more and started working on lightening the load of material things in my life.
16. Friends! Friends! Friends!
17. Got five brand new fillings in my mauwf.
18. Grew countless new gray hairs.
19. Started to think more seriously about the future and my place in it.
20. Starting to feel really good about where life is leading me.
Thank ya kindly, 2009.
Happy New Year, Folks!

Thoughts for the new year...
I had an idea last night for a project.
It's not terribly original.
Actually it's been done quite a lot, but it's something I wouldn't mind attempting just for myself.
I'm going to sit on it for a bit longer.
If I'm still thinking about it by Dec. 31st, I'll just have to follow through.
In other news, I'm happy. Life is good. Better than it's been in a long time.
I found myself a sweetie.
Was cast in a great show that opens in February.
Making lots of new things and learning more skills as the days go on.
Happy family.
Happy friends.
Just...happy happy.
:)
Happy Wednesday Folks!

End of Summer
Happy Friday Folks!
I'm ready for a three day weekend.
You?
I thought so.
I have a busy weekend ahead. Cast parties, sewing, auditions, wedding showers, rehearsals for a staged reading, pumpkin beer, homemade ice cream sandwiches and enjoying the glow of my sunroom. Please join me in a contented sigh.
:::sigh:::
As it's pretty much the end of summer I stumbled across this article on NPR's website this morning with their picks of five songs for the end of the summer days. I figured I'd share. :)
In other news, today is my friend Jane's birthday, so here's a shout out to her...
HEY JANE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :)
Have a great Labor Day weekend kids!

The latest.....
It's been a busy couple of weeks on this end m'dears.
My show, The Wonder, opened this week and so far it's getting some positive feedback. Woo hoo! Now if only I could catch up on sleep!
I've been working pretty diligently on many different projects. I made this the other day for a friend and her daughter:
I also made this over the weekend while my mom came to visit:
She lounged on the couch watching movies while I sewed and sewed and sewed. I still need to touch it up in certain areas, but considering it took less than two days to put together I can't complain with how it turned out. :)
Anyhoo, I'm about to start working on a chuppa for a friend's wedding, prep for some auditions coming up, house sit for some friends this weekend and finish crocheting the gun from Blade Runner.
Yeah. You read that right.
I must be insane.
