I have been far from idle

It has been a little while since I last posted but I can assure you that I have not been off lazing around. I spent a few days making  some more items for my Bridie's Blossom's packages and have two new keepsake items in the planning pipeline. My friend Jade is helping me with one of them.

For the most part been working from when I get up at 6.00 am to when I go tot be around 10.30 on costumes for the Devonport Choral Society's upcoming musical production in May of All Shook Up . Set in the 1950's it features 26 Elvis Presley songs. This is just a small selection of what I have been working on. These just need hems and buttonholes/buttons to be completed. Still a long way to go. I have sourced black elastic belts,white frilled bobby socks etc etc. The black and white items are for the Jailhouse Rock scene. Would love to show you more but it is all under wraps until we start the promotional aspects of the show. My husband has been working on blue suede shoes as well as helping out with set construction. This is his first foray into theatre but for me it is the sixteenth show that I have costumed over a period of 25 years.

We are still going out to  Lillico on Saturday nights. We have 8 babies left on shore still being fed by their parents.We had a wet night last night but we also had a glorious rainbow and a flash of a red sunset.

This is a little pademelon and her little joey. You can just see its big ears popping out from its mother's pouch in the first photo. The pademelon is a nocturnal marsupial so it is hard to get good photos of them in the wild during daylight.
