Fun Distractions

April 1, 2009 at 3:07 pm by Claudia

Yes, you thought I was done with the eggs, I know, but I am experimenting with my new little gizmo – a tripod. Actually, I’ve had it for a while but just got around to messing with it today. This little guy is very portable and very flexible. You can twist it into about any position you would like. It even wraps around things like posts, or table legs.

It looks like something out of Star Wars, doesn’t it? I have to say it is pretty nifty.

On one of my expeditions, I bought a pack of vintage sewing supplies. I love the buttons and the graphics on the “Happy Home Needle Book.”

Okay, enough. I’d much rather be experimenting and playing than tackling this:


This is the research that needs to be done for the upcoming shows I’m coaching. One of them is about Cornelia Wallace, at one time wife of George Wallace. I wouldn’t have this DVD otherwise, but it does give me a good idea of their particular Southern Dialect. Have to get to work. More later.

    Hi, Claudia, I was visiting Ms. Meaner, and liked your comment, so came here, and saw those lovely pots and vases in your header! Beautiful! Now I’m worried about your back. I hope you get a real chair soon, maybe at a charity shop, since you don’t need it forever. I can’t help it. (I usually prepare coffee the night before, and then just hit “start” in the morning.) See how I am?

    Hey girlfriend.
    I ADORE your fabric eggs. I have never seen such pretty ones.
    Wouldn’t they be great with a little catnip in them for our fur baby cats? Just a thought.
    Don’t get too bored with yours readings!!!
    Open those eyes while putting that coffee filter in Miss Claudia lol
    Love Claudie

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.
