A Treat from The Beautiful Life

January 22, 2009 at 2:31 pm by Claudia


A package arrived for me yesterday at the theater. It was a pillow I ordered from Ruth at The Beautiful Life. It is a pillow from her Mathematicus line that I special ordered.

Isn’t it lovely? If you go to her site, you will find photos of the pillows in various fabrications. I ordered ’21’ because it is my birthday; the standard series consists of ’12’, ’34’, and ’56’. If you put them all together you get ‘123456’! The text is stitched on the pillow cover.

Ruth has a beautiful website – go on and pay her a visit!

My mom is still in the hospital having tests. I will keep you updated.

The Teaching Begins

January 21, 2009 at 1:09 pm by Claudia

Can you tell I am teaching again? My desk is this little table and it seems to have been overtaken by WORK! I had my first classes yesterday. I renewed my acquaintance with the second year students and met for the first time the first year students. So far so good. I have a lot of prep work to do each day as I haven’t taught for a long time. I’m also coaching a play that is in technical/dress rehearsals at night so my schedule is filling up. The busier the better, I think, as it helps ease my homesickness.

On another note, I just found out my Mom had to be hospitalized this morning, so please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. She is currently having tests done, and I hope we can get to the bottom of this mystery. It seems I am far away from all my family at a stressful time.

I am hopeful again, filled with tears and emotion on this momentous day. Prayers and blessings for Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and all those who will work to heal this nation.

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.
