I hope this finds you as it leaves me, in good spirits, and pleased with the view. (figurative or literal, whichever you prefer. :))
- Well, I have had a pretty nice, busy week, and I feel that my health is improving by bits and pieces, for which I am very grateful!
- I have finished reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and am still working my way through Schindler's List. Kidnapped has also seen a bit of progress over the past few days.
- My current sewing project, (finishing my Colquhoun tartan waistcoat,) is almost done, and I've got a few more lined up, the biggest in urgency, will be helping Mommy with an order of six shirts and six waistcoats for an Etsy customer's wedding.
After that, I'm planning on another waistcoat or two, a new Regency jacket, (possibly of green velvet, but we'll see,) finishing my Colquhoun kilt, and a few other ideas.
- Things of particular note of late, I finished my Prince Charlie jacket and waistcoat in time for the Eversons International Folk Ball (May 14), and was quite happy with the result. Here's a picture of me in my outfit from the ball:
The ball(and the rest of the weekend (May 13-15) the ball was a part of as well,) was great! A lot of great fellowship and fun. Also, it was great to see different people helping each other in a menagerie of situations which arose surrounding the event, and seeing God's provision.
- This week saw the release for purchase of Downhere's single "Let Me Rediscover You" from their upcoming album, "On the Altar of Love," which I'm really excited about. They are one of my favorite bands at this point, I really like their sound, as well as, even more so, their lyrics. I recommend checking them out. :)
- Some other highlights: I worked for one of my neighbors on Wednesday, and had a rather exciting bit of wondering whether I was going to weather a tornado under the porch of a rental condo. Thursday night/Friday morning, Brandon and I choreographed a dance! I started out just trying to get Ginny's Market, (Emma and Knightley's dance from the 2009 Emma,) down on paper so that we could dance it. The way it's shot for the movie though, the casting section is just unintelligible (at least for me.) So we got down what we could and started trying to come up with something for those measures in the music. Then things just started popping out, and we ended up pretty much reinventing the dance. Only the very beginning looks exactly like the dance from the movie. There are a few oth similarities, but they are now out of order. It's a triple minor longways set, which is something new for us, and we have yet to try it out.
- I am planning to attend some sessions of the Great Lakes Grace Bible Conference on Sunday, in Wilmot.
-And...I should really be going to bed. :)
Goodnight and joy be to you all!
