I finally bit the bullet and entered a juried art show.......

Thrilled to have had both pieces accepted and overjoyed that "Look Out" has sold !!!!

Working on the nerve, and more art pieces, to enter more shows. 

One step at a time.

Hoping that I can get to Cape Cod at some point in June to see the show  -  and maybe add in a visit to see friends, eat oysters, visit the outer cape, eat oysters......

Bucket Brewery

Pawtucket, RI

So many new developments this past month!  

I want to give a big shout out to my husband, Tim, for both his drive and creativity. He is now the "official" blogger for BUCKET'S KITCHEN, the food and pairings blog for Bucket Brewery located in Pawtucket, RI. Basically, he creates and shares food recipes that use Bucket's amazing brews as well as talk about food pairings and such. 

There has been such positive reaction from the brewmasters at Bucket that Tim is now looking at rent ing local kitchen space and working to get his food license, all while perfecting some very special treats that the brewery wants to sell. 

(I don't think I should give away what these are just yet.....)

And.... while trying to incorporate local food and businesses into his writing .... Tim has connected with our neighborhood olive oil store and they are currently intrigued with his infamous crackers!! And they would like him to pursue that as well as some other specialty items.

Tim has also established his own web site, 

the KITCHEN DRUDGE

where he will link all of the Bucket recipes as well as others he is working on

He has also been forced to set up a Facebook page 

(oh, how he hated doing that!!)

But - one way or another .... please follow him and you will get to hear about all those new treats coming!

on the street - a different perspective

Warm winds from the west and flowers blooming everywhere. 

A new season has truly begun.

I finally finished and uploaded the last work for my online class today and although I am saddened to see it end.... it is time to move on. The class has consumed me for the last 8 weeks and I have some new and exciting challenges ahead of me. 

I am designing the costumes for "Ivanov" - the opening production for the 2013-14 season at 

Trinity Square Repertory Company 

here in Providence, RI !!!!

I am both thrilled and nervous by the prospect! And although we do not begin rehearsals until August, there is a lot for me to accomplish before then. 

Like actually designing the play ...... based on the director's wishes, the production will not be a Chekovian 'period piece' and will include a contemporary rock band on stage along with the cast. 

A mash up of looks and time periods - but one that must blend together seamlessly so that the audience believes in the world we are creating. 

A challenge indeed.

So here's to hoping that designing a show is like riding a bicycle ......
