First post

     So it is the eve of the last night of the Teen Drama Club's production of "Cinderella" and I'm still exhausted. I've done 1 costume related thing in the past 2 days  (sew a strap to a dress) but am a make up artist hair dresser and in charge of the curtain (tonight and tomorrow). This is the first year I am not on the stage and frankly it feels right. I'm at the point where I am too old to be on the same stage I've been on since I was 5. Besides being the costume designer ( I use this term loosely because I only made 1 set of costume pieces) I also knit and mainly crochet and have a yarn problem. I am working on opening my shop on Etsy by the end of next week filled with my fall line, and I cannot be more excited about that. My items feature hand dyed cotton thread from a fellow etsian Dyeabolical yarns and 100% organic cotton yarn. So far I have a couple of hats, headbands and a scarf. 
     I start my would be senior year of college next week, not actually my senior year because I will be graduating at least a semester late, which is totally fine by me because I am in no rush to get a real job. Although the thoughts of going to grad school for costume design make me very happy and eager to get there. But before I can think about grad school I need to get through the week. A week of graduations form TDC, sunbathing, working, hopefully making money, PACKING (UGH), Yankee game with the crew, moving up to school.

Wish me luck
