Hi..
No pictures today...I've been busy taking down Christmas and winter decorations - Yes, I said Christmas decorations. That and cleaning. Plus I have been feeling a bit under the weather for the past couple of days.
Why am I just now getting down our Christmas decorations...well, if you knew how much we decorate, you would understand. Also, I kind of have my decorating divided into three month segments. December, January & February are Christmas and winter; March, April and May are spring; June, July and August are summer; and, September, October and November are fall (or as we like to say, the season of orange).
Actually, fall is my favorite season for decorating and I have a ton of stuff, a good deal of it 'orange'. Christmas and winter is my husband's favorite season and we have another ton of stuff. Spring has quite a bit including Mardi Gras items. Summer has the least amount of decorating which is good because we enjoy being out of doors.
In between each season, I try to clean really well because, quite frankly, it is a lick, pat and a promise in between good cleanings. That is, of course, unless someone's coming to visit. Then I may clean a bit more.
Once I have the place finished - probably a couple of days - then I have to start in earnest with the backdrop for the musical. I have the fabric, and now I have the design - basically hills - so it is time to get started.
I will be making two segments that are 10 feet tall and about 14 feet wide. The place was bigger than I remembered. And then a third smaller curtain ten feet tall and about 6 feet wide to cover the center stage opening. If all goes well, I hope to have that done in about a week. I'll try to remember to take pictures as I am working on it.
What that means is that some of my other projects will have to wait a bit, so you may not see too much of my fabric journal nor my mixed media journal.
Remember, I told you about seeing a flock of robins? Well, when we picked up the car from the garage, I mentioned seeing them and one of the mechanics had also seen a lot of robins the same week. He figured that he was just seeing things, but after hearing my story, he realized he probably did see robins...in February...in Maine!
Have a great evening. Thanks for stopping by....
