Oh my goodness, my blogligence is shameful these days. Although to be fair, I don’t have internet access at home so I’m mooching off the goodness of others. So sometimes when I feel the urge to blog, I just don’t feel like going in search of a connection.
So far the Christmas season has been great for me and my business – ’tis the season for concerts, craft shows, and custom orders! I’ve also been doing some voice-over work for the local radio station, CD98.9, which was great fun and I’ll be doing more of it (with the hope that it will lead to a job, maybe, sometime in the near future?).
I’ve been ramping up production at reFurbished and I made the decision to show most of my best stuff at the Norfolk Arts Centre where they are featuring local artisans in their Made in Norfolk show which runs til December 22nd. So I have to really get my act together to have enough for a Christmas Bazaar next Tuesday at Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Simcoe.
I had several customers come by yesterday to place and pick up orders. A lovely couple from Brantford brought the most gorgeous wolf coats I have ever laid my hands on, I can hardly bear to cut them – but they want a big throw, so that’s what they’ll get. I debated momentarily the ramifications of running away up north with those coats…but no.
This weekend is the first Handel’s Messiah of the season for me, in Cambridge. We toss around the arias like a hot potato, so one night I’ll have “He shall feed his flock” and the next night someone else will. It’s the best way to keep it fresh; I’ve been singing Messiah for 18 years and every now and then I think I’ve done it enough!
Other than that, there’s baking to be done (my parents and I helped a friend pick apples a few weeks ago and there are a thousand Spy and McIntosh waiting in the workshop for some attention), theatre to attend – Pumpernickel Junction at Old Town Hall, Little Shop of Horrors at Simcoe Little Theatre – and various and sundry Christmas concerts to prepare.
Is it too early to start planning for 2011? Because I have a LOT of ideas….
