Cira 1890

Tally ho! As per a number of requests, here I am in my Victorian garb. Wigs will be coming on Wednesday. This is one of four changes I will make during the show. It is the most beautiful costume I have ever had the pleasure of wearing. But, whoo, is it hot! It is the one I wear the longest...entire second act! During the show, there is not much time to regroup and cool down. The ensemble in the Mystery of Edwin Drood is on stage 90% of the time. Quite different from most shows, I must say. Rehearsals are going well. I am looking forward to adding the wig for the full transformation into Gwendolyn Pynn!

With rehearsals all this week, the only time I get to craft is during my lunch hour. I bring my crochet since it is the most convienient. I am thinking about taking Friday afternoon off...just to get some things completed and go grocery shopping. My weekend is all filled up with the show, our church choir retreat and auditions for Bye Bye Birdie (yes, I am crazy enough to try for another show). Indy is blessed with a treasure trove of lovely community theaters.



I do have these pouches completed. I just need some better photos to post in my shop. I also have three bracelets on my craft desk plus a pair of earrings and a cell phone charm. I will have them up in the next few weeks.


I must be off...there is work to be done!



Blessings for today




beautiful costumes - dress up is so much fun




autumn leaves - I saw more colors last night on my drive to the theater




my family - for all the support during this crazy week!!!

Oh, it sounds like so much fun. To get dressed up and play and on purpose!! Even if you are hot.

That looks like a lot of fun. Our high school had an extensive theater program and I was always back stage as stage manager or sets or lighting. My mom is involved in their hometown theater in PA, doing costumes. She loves it. Show us the wig...and break a leg! I love "Bye Bye Birdie!"

When I was younger, I was in every school play. To be someone else again for awhile...ahhh the thought of it
