Life on the road:
Claudia’s prescription for life on the road:
• Bring your camera along
• Make sure you have some creative projects to work on; a Maggie Rabbit, a quilt top and a future coaching project
• Bring along your pals; in my case, Wayfrum, Maggie Rabbit, Little Lamb and Mabel
• Fresh flowers are an essential
The quilt top is finished. Photos tomorrow.
We have three preview performances under our belt. At this point in the process, I watch every performance leading up to opening night and take notes, which I then pass along to the actors. Even though the play is now in performance, there are still rehearsals where technical problems are fixed and changes are made – this will go on until opening night.
Which is Friday.
That means I go home on Saturday. (Insert smile.)
Next week at this time, I will be once again writing from my blogging chair with my Scoutie by my side.
Happy Sunday.
I love how you make home away from home, Claudia. Especially love the photo of your little companions!
They are cute, aren’t they?
sweet post. have a beautiful Sunday
Thank you, Marianne. You, too!
Great tips! Enjoy your last week!! ;)
I will, Donna.
Claudia I love your photos! I love even more that you will be home in a week!!
hugs,
Linda
Thank you, Linda!
I really do love the new quilt. It’s something I would make if I were a quilter, which I am NOT and never will be. Good luck with the play and getting back to your man and child, Mama!
xoxo,
Connie
Thanks so much, Connie!
Knitting, my Kindle Fire and snacks have been my companions on the road. You are sooo good! No snacks! You have inspired me to return to quilting. I have always machine pieced, hand quilted baby and lap quilts.. However, simple quilt blocks, hand pieced, for future grandchildren (I have a newly married son) would be a lovely project for my fairly frequent road trips! Oh…..and thanks for fixing my link!
Are you kidding? I just neglected to mention the snacks, Jeannie Marie! I have a big old sweet tooth.
Good morning Claudia, hope you have lovely weather today, we do. I am so happy that you can do what you love but it is too bad it takes both of you away so much. I’ll bet you, Don and Scout cannot wait until you are all together again. Just another week and you’ll be dancing in the kitchen while Don cooks dinner.
hugs

Gray and rainy here, Sue. Ah well.
I guess that is how I would make it through if I had to be away from home that long..by surrounding myself with things from home that I love..and things to do..Great advice Claudia..So glad that you will soon be home!!
Me too, Nancy!
You look so beautiful my wonderful sister,
Mere
Thank you, beautiful sister.
I’m like you…I have to pack essentials even if we’re just staying overnight. My camera is a must now a days.
I know you’re ready to be back with your family.
and. OH yes! “Twelfth Night”– thanks for that refresher!
I also wanted to say Claudia– I envy your hair…it is so beautiful.
I’m in between– I still have some red and brown…but I wish it would all just go grey.
…love all the projects and company you have there at the apartment. can’t wait to see the quilt complete.
Enjoy your day, Pat
Thank you so much for the compliment, Pat. It’s baby fine, which drives me crazy at times!
Beautiful photos.. Love your flowers and your little companions are precious.. So glad you get to go home next week. Im sure Scout misses you and you miss Scout..

She does. She’s not eating right lately. I think her routine has been upset. I’m hoping everything settles down when I get back home.
This is such a great “sanity” list! I really enjoy reading how you turn your hotel room into a home away from home. It is important to make the best of your situation when you can!
It is. It would be too depressing, otherwise!
Can’t wait to see the quilt top. I’m thinking of taking Camille’s Craftsy class too. Scout (and Don) will be so happy to have you back home!
It’s a great class and she teaches not only this quilt but two others, as well.
what nice pics! I am glad you have had a great time, and I know you will love being home!
Hugs, Lisa
This made me smile, Claudia. I will count the days with you.
I think you have very pretty doe shaped eyes and your quilt looks like lovey summer…..
Smiles, Dottie
I love this post, Claudia…little snippets of life…the photo of you is wonderful!
