Tis almost the end of 2024 and Lordie, has this year been busy........I cant believe that it's almost Christmas. Best laid plans, ups and downs, election dramas and traumas. The highlight of my year was being asked if I would be interested on working on something for Kamala's nieces to wear to the inauguration. There was no promise of it actually happening, but it felt like a sure thing and I trust the person who approached me. So on top of all the national Drama, I was kinda sorta keeping my fingers crossed for purely selfish reasons. My fingers in the pie of history and all that. But twas not to be and now Im working backstage at Hamilton. Im in charge of keeping the Sisters dresses all nice and pretty. Not quite the same joy as would have been with being able to work on current history, but I was honored to be considered in the first place and now I get to work on Hamilton - a fine and fun show to be sure! My favorite time in history and history made in and of itself. So there ya go.
Im also currently making a custom Tizzy Lizzy skirt for a lovely customer from Etsy. These are a bit more wearable than the longer and heavier Bessie skirts if you are not into all the fabric around your ankles!
Im planning a trip to LA soon to buy fabric for making more of these fun little skirts and other things! It's been hard to juggle it all, but I see maybe a bit less theater work in the future and more focus on making clothing again.
Onwards and upwards. Hang in there and have a happy holiday!!
