Fiddle-dee-dee

I've been pretty out of touch for the last little while, mainly because our family was really involved in putting on a production of R&H's Cinderella.  It was really quite a lot of fun.  Mom was the stage manager.  Dad was in it (he danced and was a cobbler's apprentice) and helped with the set pieces.  I worked stage left, keeping track of the props, helping the kids, checking costumes, making sure nobody missed their cues, et cetera.  My feet got really sore.  Ashleigh was Queen Constantina:

Constantina Charlotte Ermintrude Gwindyvere Maisie Marguerite Anne

We all had a lot of fun; it's kind of sad that it's over, especially for Ashleigh.  But there shall always be other plays, I suppose...

Me and Clara.  She was a baby mouse -- so cute!

To tie up some loose ends, for Halloween, I ended up whipping together an angel costume.  It seemed appropriate since I was teaching Sunday School that day.  Oh, and by the way, remember that blue and bronze hat?  Voila:


I finished it about a month ago.  Crocheting is now going very well for me.  Just, please, ignore the fact that this is a terrible photograph of me.  I've also made another hat, and I'm working on making Ashleigh a hat.  Hers is a pretty, light blue, with a dark blue flower on it.  Maybe I'll be able to get a photo of that when it's finished.  After that, I'm making a scarf.  It's getting cold around here, so these things are necessary!

I went to the midnight release of Harry Potter seven; did you see it?

And with that... I'm going to watch the Music Man with Zac.

Yeah, I had planned on re-reading the last book before I went, but time flies! and I didn't have time.
Thanks! I'm really enjoying crocheting now that I have more or less gotten the hang of it. I was considering crocheting some people's Christmas presents, because I always like to have that home-made touch, but I think I'm just plain running out of time to do that! I have way too much on my plate right now.
