This picture does need explaining: exactly in the center is my sewing machine in its white case. Above it are the Roots of Yggdrasil, larger by one whole branch and its tributaries, thanks to generous donations of toilet paper tubes. Actually all around it are the Roots; it has completely engulfed the airspace that I usually occupy when I sew. In the foreground is the costume for Lady Macduff; cut out and ready to go. Time to rearrange all the furniture and make more room for art!

How did I end up sewing costumes again? The drama teacher hunted me down; I did not attend the parent meeting, I have not been hanging around the middle school, I have been waiting for my son in the darkest corners of the parking lot. But some how I ended up sewing the gowns for Ladies Macduff and Macbeth. Actually I am flattered - I love to sew and not having girls of my own I get a kick out of sewing the costumes for the female leads in the school plays! Thank you Ms F!
