babe

Do I ever love me some Children's Theatre. Last night, I took Bella to see Babe. It was fantastic. Dean Holt was the lead, and I've been loving him since we started taking Lauren, probably ten years ago. His face is so expressive, and he's a master of physical comedy - the kids always laugh uproariously at his antics. Bella loved this one, probably because she vaguely knew the story. She's definitely fascinated with the sets and how they do things. Last night, she was wondering about how they make the same set look like day/night, so I tried to explain lighting to her a little. She also loved that there was audience participation in this play - the first thing she said when it was over was, "I liked how we got to do stuff, too."

Not much crafting going on these last few days. Some knitting here and there, but not very much. Tonight, after we got home from dinner/bowling with Jack/Jena, I paged through the knitting book I have from the library. It's due back on Monday, and I wanted to see what, if anything, I wanted to glean from it before I return it. There's a chapter on cables that interests me, so I might try to take notes on that. I'd like to make the purse that Jess was showing me, and it's got cables, which I haven't tried yet. The purse seems like a fairly easy project and a good way to jump into cables.

Coming up in this next week, though, my creative goal is to start taking more photos and begin uploading them to the blog...
