The Black Hole

July 27, 2009 at 10:17 am by Claudia

If you need me, I have disappeared into the black hole that is our office/spare bedroom/husband’s recording studio. I am taking advantage of said husband being away for part of the day so that I might begin to sort through all the stuff that is in there. It is currently a holding pen for boxes of books I used in San Diego, mail that needs to be saved, 4 guitars, a mandolin, speaker, mike stand, microphone, a bed, baskets of stuff, a desk, the other computer, my printer from San Diego, a chair, winter coats….we sound like hoarders, don’t we? We’re really not. I just have to find some way to organize everything that makes sense and makes the room more functional. Any ideas?

If I don’t show up by dinner time, send someone in there for me.

Lazy Day

July 26, 2009 at 4:19 pm by Claudia

We’re taking it easy here today – lounging, napping, blogging, some reading…nothing too strenuous. It is muggy today with sporadic rain showers. I think the humidity of August is settling in a bit early. We’re also watching the first season of Medium (one of our favorite television series.) We didn’t get into it until the second season and we have to play catch up.

I hope your Sunday is blessed with family, fun and relaxation

Pink Saturday

July 24, 2009 at 11:42 pm by Claudia

Hello everyone! Welcome to Pink Saturday! Please stop by Beverly’s blog, How Sweet the Sound for a list of everyone participating.

This bird is one of my friend Joy’s creations. Isn’t it beautiful? I have one like it in aqua.
Pink pretties mixed with a little blue from the Barn Sale.
All the varied pinks in my potted impatiens – I love their subtle colors.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I have been commenting all day long as part of the Where Bloggers Create Party. I’ve also been painting. My hands and fingers are tired! I will visit you all, I promise, but it may take a couple of days!

Oh, I forgot to add the best pink news – my nephew and his wife had their first child yesterday – a girl named Emma! Congratulations Eric and Sachie!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
