Cleaning Out the Cobwebs

Oh my...it has been a month since my last blog post!! How did that happen?? I am thankful to say that my life has been full of theater and friends. After Nunsense closed, I went right into producing Dancing at Lughnasa.
The show closed yesterday. Wow ~ we had a successful run and the show was incredible. I am in awe of the talent that was assembled on the stage. It was just crazy. As is tradition, after the last Sunday matinee we strike (disassemble) the set then head off to have on last dinner together and laugh and enjoy a much needed rest. I thought that producing wouldn't wear me out as much as it did. Boy, am I wiped out!
I did manage to do a little crafting and came up with some items to finally update my etsy shop! In fact, I already sold one of my key chains before I got a chance to post it! I don't have any pics yet, but now that it stays light until 7:30ish I may get some posted this week.
I need to catch up with everyone. I have got to get to reading my favorite blogs and get back to posting on a regular basis.
God bless!!

Catching Up

It has been forever since I posted on my blog. I really need to get back at it! There has been a number of things keeping me busy. First my sweet little furbaby has been ill. Max has had a fever of unknown origin for over two weeks. We have been to the vet a number of times, he is on antibiotics and aspirin and he seems to finally be turning the corner and getting better. I am keeping my fingers crossed...hoping this time will be the time he finally breaks the fever and gets back to be his playful self. I hate seeing him so sad and lethargic. This morning his temp was down and he ate his normal breakfast. Things might just be looking up!!

This is my Max!!


The second thing that has occupied lots of my time is a show ~ Nunsense! My church put on the show over Valentine's Day weekend. I played Sister Robert Anne.
You just gotta love the sneakers with the boa!! She was tons of fun to play! Here is the chorus line of the Little Sisters of Hoboken. I am in the middle.


I had a blast and I got to share the stage with some talented gals!! The audiences were great. They laughed and cheered and made us feel great. I think it was about the most fun I ever had on stage. I am sad it is over but I am already on to my next project.

I am producing a show at Buck Creek Playhouse. It is Dancing at Lughnasa. It is set in Ireland in the 1930's. Meryl Streep played in the movie version. We have a crazy talented cast and the show just gets better with every rehearsal. I spent most of yesterday painting the set. Today I feel like a truck ran over me!! It is kind of nice being behind the scenes this time. It is incredible watching all the pieces of the show come together. I will post pics when I get them.

With all that said, I actually managed to spend time in my craft room!! I made a make up bag and some key fobs that will soon be in my shop. I used to share the room with my husband's drum set which left little room to work in. I am happy to say the drum set has been sold and the room is all mine. I am looking to paint and rework where I have my furniture placed. That is for another day. Right now I want to catch up on the blogs I have missed.
