Happy Sunday

January 25, 2009 at 12:34 pm by Claudia

Good morning and happy Sunday! I am puttering around, reading blogs, checking email and facebook. Soon I have to exercise and get going as I have a rehearsal to attend this morning as well as a performance to take notes on tonight. Tomorrow is my official day off and I will be missing my car for half the day. The brakes are very noisy and spongy feeling (I know, these are not mechanical terms.) I called the rental company and they are going to come get the car tomorrow morning and do whatever needs to be done on the brakes. Hopefully, they will return it by early afternoon.

In the meantime, I think I’ve located a sewing machine to borrow until I get my own Featherweight. My friend, Ingrid, who works in costume design, tells me she has an extra Featherweight that I can use! I’m thrilled. Yesterday was the kind of day where I was feeling restless and wanted a project. Working on the quilt top would have fit the bill.

I hope everyone has a relaxing, happy Sunday.

Update on Mom

January 24, 2009 at 1:51 pm by Claudia

Mom is home from the hospital as of yesterday. She is on medication to help regulate her blood pressure and is on the mend. Now if only my Dad could get some relief from his back pain…he threw it out while trying to clean the microwave! Oh, you two…what am I going to do with you?

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.

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.
