[did i mention i'm looking for a new job?]
so i'm filling the rest of my time by volunteering, knitting, designing [and constructing] anything i possibly can, dying yarn with kool-aid, and now taking photographs of my life.
"Sampaguita". a play i am designing the set for.
a small play, written by a Filipino woman/actor/producer. it will be put on at the Filipino Embassy in Midtown Manhattan.
the room is absolutely beautiful, with wood paneling on every wall. this is the stage [the room was being used as a pseudo-gallery for a furniture exhibition]. my creative freedom is endless. the budget on the other hand......is not.
any plans for April?

Oh! What a beautiful room! It reminds me of a tea room in London I went to with one of our professors. Very elegant. It will be such a lovely backdrop for the play.
It's fun to watch and listen as you and the play develop your ideas. It's like the play takes on its own life, and you are one part of the creation, joining in and contributing your own personal vision.
This blog is so cool. I'm soooo glad you thought of it! Want me to tell Aunt Bootsie about it? You know she'd love it!!!
yes, i'm glad to be a part of something...i like the way you put it. like its own creation.
the room is amazing! i wish you could see it in person. it's not very big, and the stage is tiny, but i think it will work nicely. i know, i love the wood paneling! it's totally a British pub/tea room!
i'd love to share it with Aunt Bootsie! maybe it'll get her psyched up to come in April!
All righty then! I'll tell the aunties about your blog. :D
This room costs a fortune, been to one such room in Munnar in Kerala,
It is called high range club, entry only for the English, Except for the butlers Indians were not allowed even after the English left India in 1947. (dogs were allowed but not Indians)Clubs come alive only in the evenings. Munnar is pretty cold always, it is a hill station with tea plantations. I walked in to the club one morning as all doors were open, actually I did not know that it was a club. Walked straight in and took a few pictures of the interiors, wood panelling all over including the ceiling. i saw a bar with hundreds of wine glasses and fancy bottles. I heard some one shout who is that and some heavy boots running towards me and the worst of all barking of dogs. I ran
hit a heavy glass door, injured my shoulder, i heard a couple of glass pieces falling, i did not turn to assess the damage I kept running. I defeated the guy and i defeated the dogs. I run very fast even today. not much damage to me, just a bruise on my shoulder. This was some 40 years ago.
i have seen the picture of your knitting work Lesleyanne on Ruth's blog a shawl, very beautiful it was
and the story of your great grand mother.
