March already?!

A window of jackets I made.

Ok, fess up, who stole January and February? Time keeps on slippin' into the future, as the Steve Miller band once famously sang.

But you're not here for trite comments about the ravages of time! What have I been up to?

Sewing: I had a mending and to-do pile a metre high, so I attacked it - finishing patch jackets (now in the shop window above), sewing up gaping dresses, and moving onto some delayed projects like making pillow cases. And I'm now half way through an organza boa. It is pink, purple, blue, turquoise and burgundy, giving it a paua/abalone vibe.


With omicron charging through our country at great speed, I am working from home, rescheduling flights to postponed gigs, and limiting my social life to one on ones and the Thursday quiz.

Lots of friends have got the O, but nobody is really sick thank goodness, thanks to the very high vaccination and booster rates here. I don't have the luxury of time for being sick right now as with the shop tanking, but not enough to get a subsidy, my income is keeping the whole ship afloat.

Thank goodness for having a job, being able to do it from home, and being safe!

This is my life now, working from home in my studio with glimpses of showgirl!
