Two Holiday Bazaar Events Back To Back

What a successful two days. Wow.  I sold more than half my inventory.  It was relaxing and easy to load in and out of the events.  Of course, met some new people and hugged a few recurring vendor artists.  I really needed the funds.  I have been inspired and am now knitting some really wonderful outer wear.  It is nice to see with refreshed eyes. 
The Event on Sunday was the best it has ever been.  There was a stand-up comedian, singers, excellent artists.  I was able to set my booth next to one of my favorite people in the world.  Chris Murray and his girlfriend Caitlin and their candles.  I always love seeing Julio.  My goodness he makes beautiful jewelry.  Friends came to visit.  Dear friends with smiling faces and some bought some of my knits.  I love that the event is set around the two show days of two shows at the theatre.  It is magical.

I am so enjoying this Holiday Season.  I get things done every single day.  I don't procrastinate which feels magnificent.  I feel safe and secure which is extremely important.  The weather has  made it very unsafe but in spite of that it has all been so wonderful. 

Have been consistent with going to the gym.  Working out almost every day.  This is my third or fourth week now.  Been wanting to get back to this lifestyle for at least 20 something years now.

The reading I did a  week ago turned out pretty darn ...... well it was just swell.  I missed some things but got some complicated things down in the spur of the moment.  I was pleased.  Even with the mistakes.  The play is "HIR".  Pretty difficult.  I'm glad it was just a reading.  Well, not just a reading but ...... well yeah,  I'm glad I could just sit read this play and not do a full out production of it.  There was no rehearsals for this play.  Just sat down in front of a small audience and read the play.

Very Proud To Have Knit This Matching Set for A Client





Happy Holidays

Well,,,,,, having a great Holiday.  Thanksgiving was fantastic.  The Mclean's and the Mccracken's came together.  It turned out so well.  Loved watching everyone talking and sharing.  I hope this becomes a tradition now that David and his family lives in Oregon.  I surely missed my Mother.  I know she was thinking about all of us and so wishing she could attend.  We did our texting and loving each other that way in 2015. 






Today I voted on the films for consideration 2015.  I was extremely focused.  I was organized and was serious.  I treated it as though I was under consideration for a film.  I did not get to see all of the films.  I could only vote on the ones I actually saw.  I either - did not get a screener, the film was short lived in the theatre's or they never were shown in Oregon.  Seems a bit unfair because I may have missed out on films that should have been considered.  Because I am no longer in Los Angeles I don't get the full benefits from the premiere houses in LA.  I have gotten a much better picture on how things work from being on this committee.  Films that have a larger marketing budget are going to be considered.  There are politics in ANY awards show. Any and all. 

I have my reading tomorrow of "HIR".  It is a bear and I am glad that it is only a reading. 

I have two back to back Holiday events to do this week and then I am over for the season. 

Staying pretty faithful to the gym.  It feels really good.  I also feel so much better when using weights as well.  Hope I can make this a routine like I did in my younger years.  Kind of like brushing your teeth everyday.
