What have I been Doing?...

Neglecting this Blog is What!

So here is a quick up date!
My brother runs a small mixed business and back at Easter he had a heart attack. 
He survived thanks to the rapid response from the local health services and in the meantime has been making a full recovery. I have been busy running the business for him while he recovers which has left little time to tend to any of my more creative pursuits, let alone blogging here.
Although some weeks ago I was asked to assist in making some costumes for a local theatre group who were performing the Sound Of Music.
I was asked to make the Play Clothes for the Von Trapp Children... 
So here they are...


Leisl


Fredrich...


Louisa...


Brigitta...


Kurt...


Marta...


And Gretyl...


7 costumes in four weeks was a challenge... but I got the job done.
And I was very proud of my work.
The production was a sell out with standing ovations. 
I received a lot of very positive feedback on my costume work and have been asked to participate in making costumes for their next production in December which will be "Alice in Wonderland"

Planning meetings start next week!
