OH, YEAH... I HAVE A BLOG.

Nope, I didn't forget that I have a blog. I have just been very busy the past month...

- The high school group that I teach has been taking most of my time. We began competing two weeks ago and there was a lot work to do to prepare. Other than rehearsing up to 20 hours a week, we had to hand dye and bedazzle the costumes... yes, you read that correctly... BEDAZZLE. We ended up using almost 3,000 individual rhinestones which were all individually attached to the costumes by me, Jay and Megan.

We also painted nine patio/market umbrellas that are each 7.5 feet (about 2.5 meters) in diameter. Again, me, Jay and Megan did most of the work. I think they turned out to be worth the hassle...

- I have been working a bit on the Crocheted Cowl and the Reversible Cabled Scarf. This project doesn't really require a lot of thought, so it's nice to crochet while watching TV, or listening to music ("Little Britain" and "Heroes" reruns have are my fave DVDs lately.)

- Most recently I have been spending my little bit of free time getting to know a wonderful man by the name of Blake. I'll wait for a future post to tell you more about him...

I was a color guard groupie in HS. I was mesmorized by the winter season. I couldn't participate because I was a percussionist. I love the big umbrellas!!
