This and That - Catching Up

Life is interesting and sometimes I forget to blog.  I am sorry about that.

So what is going on?  In the past week I have auditioned for two plays.  First, I auditioned to be in the ensemble/chorus for "My Fair Lady" - that was Tuesday, January 28th. For that audition, I sang "Stars" from the musical "Les Miserables."  I think I did well.
 Then last night, Monday February 3rd, I auditioned for a small role in "Clue," a play based on the 1985 movie.  The director asked why I wasn't auditioning for one of the main roles.  I explained that my life is just a bit too busy to learn all of those lines. But, I was thrilled that he saw the potential for me to be more. 

Meanwhile,  I have been creating with my hands - as it seems I will never be able to just stop. 

I took some woven fabric and embellished a work shirt to cover the work logo and update the shirt - to make it more "me."

This is a rare selfie photo. And you can see my new eyeglasses!

I think it works.  I see that my collar was flipped up.  I sorted that out before I left the house.

I also experimented with a weaving technique  that I had not previously tried although I have known how it works for a while.

You can see that the top and bottom sections are woven right through each other to create a cross shaped piece. This will make a fun hanging to put where it will catch the breeze and turn.  I wove the center section as one single piece just out of curiosity. I wanted to see how it would work out.

And finally,  my name came up on the library's hold list for a book that I want to read.  It is titled simply "Me"  by Elton John.  I started to edit out the flash from my camera, but then thought "Elton was frequently subjected to the camera flash" -so I left it in.

I hope I am living my best life - combining all of my interests and moving along. 

Oh yes, I got the first section of the "Night Sky" quilt quilted.  The rest of it is in the "wait a minute" pile.  But it shouldn't be there too long.

Until Next Time,
