new work

on tuesday i'm starting a stitching job at the channhassen theatre, which should rock.
40 hours a week at a decent wage (a little more than i'd gone in expecting, actually), working on SINGING IN THE RAIN...fun little 20's and 30's numbers, working from renderings, taking pieces and making something whole, making the magic, wholly better for me than a lot of other things i've been doing for income outside of design. work to keep me busy until i leave for colorado may 19.
for now... working on a few home projects i'd been pokey about but now must get in order before starting a full time gig (with a 45 min each way commute), and i'm off to galesburg to spend easter with jacob and his family...hoooray!

sweet! CROCUSES! CROCI??

i don't know what the plural of crocus is, but having returned from a week in temperate, green and blooming st. louis and louisville, i returned reluctantly to the frozen north to discover that IT'S NOT FROZEN ANYMORE! i'm actually a little disappointed that i wasn't here when the first little purple something peaked out of the dirt, but coming home to an entire side yard covered in it was really not bad at all. the lakes are melting too, at least the little one (probably a pond, not really clear on that definition) in loring park is thawed.
the conference was a lot to take in, and although overall the trip was not the restorative miracle i was hoping for, a sharp break from the insanity of march was very necessary, and i'm never happier than to come up for air with jacob.
now it's just one show before i leave mid-may, and sorting through the strikes of the last shows, and making baby quilts for friends. and hopefully feeling less strapped in general.
hope all is well with all of you.....
