fashion bug

there is a cute little kiosk at the chapel hills mall selling these hats. so i sent one to baby addie. she loves it. she says it makes her feel young and hip.

tap dancin fool!

today, i bought a pair of tap shoes.
the fine arts center, my place of employment, is offering classes. and do you think i would miss out on such a wonderful opportunity??? NEVER! the class only runs 10 weeks, but i plan on continuing my study of tippity tapping at a studio downtown. i have had a little experience. i clogged for a year when i was 12. i got to wear a poofy slip. it was excting. and so is this!

piggy tails

since we've opened sweeney todd (that delightful demon barber on fleet street), i have had some time to focus on little projects in my costume shop. after cleaning and rolling fabric, putting away unused costumes, and picking safety pins off the floor, i decided that today i would make sewing machine covers. jen, my trusty assistant, and i whipped out these colorful covers that are sure to put a smile on any one's face. usually i stay far away from pastels, but since i have lived with my sister (head of the pastel fan club) i have learned to appreciate these soft and relaxing hues. my favorite part, besides constructing the covers with my new project runway special edition computerized machine of love, was to come up with little embellished handles that are not only functional, but decorative. my favorite machine cover...can you guess?....is the pink and white striped one with the "strawberry" on top. i could just eat it....and i almost did. i mean i had it in my mouth but then jen pulled me aside and told me that the covers are not edible. so i guess i will just have to admire it from afar.

rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead

to date, rosencrantz has been my favorite role on stage. truth is, playing rosencrantz didn't require much "acting" on my part. (if you are familiar with this play, you'll know why). set in the black box at utah state university, there was something absolutely magical about this show. maybe it was the fact that we had a hot black guy playing hamlet.
yep, that's it.

passion pit

these guys are coming to the ogden theatre in Denver in april. i want to go see them. any takers?

delightful!

i found these at king sooper's (the smith's of colorado) last week. like little eggs from heaven, these wee candies have captured my heart and soul. last year i bought three huge bags to last the year. they lasted and week and a half.
love you little eggs!

my new machine of love

for the girl who once safety pinned a bridesmaid dress to her body, i have outdone myself by purchasing a sewing machine that will open a whole new world of creation and design! this special edition project runway computerized sewing machine is RADICAL!!!! my first project: curtains for my mum's flat. second: an elvis costume for my pop. the possibilties are endless!!! although i have a few sewing machines at work, it is so lovely to finally have my own! thanks dad!
