YoC & WIP

Yellow.  Yellow was difficult for me.  I realised early in the week that there's not a whole lot of yellow in my life.  Or the things I saw that were yellow were not easy to photgraph as I was zooming down Tennessee Street.  So I finally photographed what's sitting in front of me all day long - the objects on my desk.  Can you tell I have a rather broad range of musical taste?  Of course as I was uploading the desk picture, I realised I also had this photo that I'd taken at Farmer's Market.  I don't know if it  exactly Laser Lemon, but I guess it will do, too.

Now on to works in progress.  I finished my aprons for Tie One On last night, but I haven't had time to take a proper photo - or iron them - yet.  I do have this little bunny in the works as a big sister gift for a little friend about to get a baby brother. 

I also have three more belly dance performances this weekend as part of the Kansas City Fringe Fest.  The shows are $5 a piece and just under an hour.  Come out to the Just Off Broadway Theater tonight at 9:30 (WAAYYYY past my bedtime!) or tomorrow at 3:30 or 6:30 (I think).   I'll be there - literally - with bells on!

But the best part of the weekend will be - Aidin & Eliot coming home!  I miss my babes!

Happy Friday, everybody!

No kid date nite

This is all I've got of my kids this week - chalk drawings on the sidewalk and phone calls.  They are doing fine at grandma's house and having a lot of fun playing with their cousins.  They are getting so big so fast!  And I am thrilled with their independence, although I miss them terribly.

But with them gone, Tim and I actually had a date!  We went last night and saw "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest".  How great is that?  A night out with my husband, a tub of popcorn AND Johnny Depp?  We THOUGHT that we might manage more than one movie this week, but between Tim working late and my rehearsal/performance schedule, one night was all we got.

I also got the stuff I needed to finish two projects I'm working on.  Hopefully at least one will be completed tonight.  I can't wait to post photos!

And can I say (of course I can, it's my blog) how proud I am of this blogging community for taking on big issues as well as the crafty ones?  You can see posts here and here.  Good work.  Let's keep the dialogue open.

Have a great day and don't be afraid to make a difference.

I'm makin' the move

I tried.  Really I did.  I just couldn't take having to try four, six or ten times to create a simple post.  So here I am, giving typepad a try.  Thanks for coming to find me.

And thanks for coming with me on this journey of living a creative life.

Cheers!
