And more...

Well, hello there! We made it through the recital... :) It was good--I'm so glad it finally happened. I do have pictures to post, but that'll have to wait till I have a little more time and can get on the other computer. As for the actual recital, it went pretty well. It was really a lot of fun, though it is frustrating how you can make all kinds of interesting mistakes in performance that shouldn't have happened. :) Oh well. It was fun, and we were blessed to have a lot of friends there. I'm so grateful that the Lord worked things out for us to do this...

So now my big project is a very large sewing job--a British regimental musician's coat (or something of the sort--not exactly sure of the Official Terminology). It needs to be done in a week for a big festival in AZ (that I can't go to, unfortunately--maybe next year). It's going to look something like this, only the coat will be black with red facings and miles and miles of white twill tape trim. I'm getting close to being finished with the machine sewing, and then I'll have much hand-sewing of trim to do. Great chance to listen to lots of FOTF Radio Theatre dramas. :) I've finished Bonhoeffer and Little Women so far. Fun...

Anyway... I may not get pictures up till this coat project slows down a bit, but until then, here's our program. You know, that recital was fun. :)
