Creative Carving


Food art is one of my favorite things...


So carving pumpkins is really right up my alley!

This year my daughter carved Charlie Brown! It was very appropriate, since we watch "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" every year while we carve. We can practically say it by heart.


My son carved a ... mutant... of some kind. I think it's a very cute mutant.


My pumpkin is waiting to be kissed. :-)



The finished masterpieces!!

My Red Phase

It started with my garden. Then it was my dress.

Now it's spread to my bedroom. I am officially in my red phase.

Red seems to be the color that calls my name these days. Now it's on my bed.


In one of my favorite paintings (given to me by a friend.)


And in a photo I took of roses (that incidentally used to live in my powder room.)

What can I say? Red just makes my heart happy right now!

InterAct!

Today was the maiden performance of the children's theater school tour I've been working on for several months now. It was great!

The first show was for K-2 grades and was an interactive performance of three Aesop's fables. The second show was for 3-5 grades and was all about the events and people surrounding the Declaration of Independence. So much fun!

I've been wanting to do this for ten years now (since I did it the last time) and it was just amazing to see it come to life!

Book Diet

As anticipated, I did not finish any books in September. Every spare minute (and more!) was spent on reworking my life and making a massive direction change.

The good news is, good stuff is happening! I've already got a couple of contracts writing and teaching dance & music.

How about this month you leave a comment telling me what YOU read? I'm going to get back to my reading habit one of these days and I'll need many more books to read.
