Working and Whatnot

I'm glad to know some of you are still reading! I didn't expect any of you to stick around because of my almost year long absence!


So, last I was here I think I was still working at the Repertory theatre, right?

Currently I am working at Disney (full time) and Universal (part time) and rowing on Tuesdays and Thursdays and jumping rope on Fridays.    Very full, but very good. :)

Hello?

Anyone still out there?

First Craft Fair

I just signed up for my first craft fair! Pretty excited about it. Just not sure I can get ready in time with all the things I have to do.

In other news, I finished a round of VE.

The theatre opened Jackie and Me, and it's going well

The costume shop has begun work on Rudolph!


If anyone needs a customized pillowcase, come talk to me. ;)

Going to Strike

Today the costume and I striked.  

A set, that is. :) 

We took down Ivy and Bean's costumes and washed and put them away. We did most of them, but some of them will have to be done tomorrow.

Ivy and Bean the musical was the first production I did with the theatre, and I think it went well. While it was running we've been working  on costuming for our next production - Jackie and Me.  It's about Jackie Robinson and what segregation was like during his time.  The theatre does almost all kids shows, since it is a family theatre.


I've also been doing some editing on VE (though not enough. I was just working on it before I started typing this post).

And lots and lots of sewing at home.  I've made cockades, hats, pillowcases, and purses!


I still have 3 purses and 6 pillowcases to make as well as a quilt to finish embroidering.


Oh, and I joined a rowing team! It seems like it will be alot of fun. Today was my first day, so we only got to sit in the boat in the shallows and practice technique, but it should get to go out next week =)

Time To Sell

My Hair, that is.

I found out my hair is worth quite a bit of money, so I'm selling it.

Or, trying to.

I hope it sells quickly! :D

Lonely But Fine

So things have been going well, I think.

I go to work every day and sew all day then come home, play rummikub with my grandmother, sew some more, and go to bed.

All in all. It's pretty lonely.  I have to admit I miss my people quite a lot. Makes me want to move back home.

But I will persevere. I have to move out eventually. :)

Busy, Busy

So, I  don't remember if I told you all about my job.

4 weeks ago or so I moved to Florida and got a car and a job. :)

I looked for sewing jobs online while I was still in Tennessee. I wanted to move to Florida to help take care of my grandmother and to keep her company (Which I've actually been to busy to do lately! Oops). One advertisement was for a costuming internship with the Orlando Repertory Theatre (www.orlandorep.com), it looked like something I wanted to do.I had been looking for an internship for a while.

So I applied, they interviewed me on the phone, and I got the job. :)


My parents were kind enough to drive me down to Florida with all my junk and such and help me find a car to buy.

So I bought a car on a Friday and started work on the next Monday and my parents left on Thursday, and I've been working ever since.

We started and finished a show called Ivy and Bean. It's still playing, but we (the costume shop ) are done working on it until it closes (then we wash everything and put it away). I wish I could show you pictures, but I can't until it closes. :)


Next we're working on Jackie and Me    ... and Rudolph.  We'll also be working on Aladdin Jr (It's a Kid's Academy show, which is a teaching show. So all the actors will be kids who are paying to learn how to act, etc)  There are others we'll be working on this year, too.

Anyways. It's been fun and I'll be working there until April, when my internship is done.

I also found a clogging group (Dancing)  I get to dance with every Thursday night after work.  Clogging was something I did in Tennessee - I don't remember if I told you all about it.
