Hey folks,
it has been a while! I’ve been fabulously busy with my sewing work! But I wanted to get these shots up so that the wonderful ladies who came out with me for this show can see how great they looked!Click on the photo to see the whole set!
My thanks to the lovely ladies who came out with me for these two events!
The Bay: Farasha, Shade, Isaden, and Ameenah! And Miriam, who took the pics! And Tom of course who shot video – but we are still working on getting that footage up!!
The National Women Show: Jewel, Zamira, Shade, Isaden, and Bollywood For FunAnd Miriam, who took the pics! And Tom of course who shot video – but we are still working on getting that footage up!!
Instead of doing the laundry, I slept in. Instead of exercising, I couch surf. Instead of washing dishes, I dirty more by trying some new recipes.
Well, that’s only because it’s the last week off from classes and I will need to get myself in gear by the end of this week in order to be ready to start teaching again next week! Actually I need to get myself in gear by this afternoon as I have a huge list of to-do’s for this week in regards to all three of my businesses [ well the three that I can count today – there are more when I break it down!]
What’s on my lists, you ask? Or not – depending on how busy you are with your own lists!
TAV Creations has a lovely January wedding on the roster! Yay! I don’t always get January weddings but for the past two years I have been blessed with them! Nice for the alleged “downtime” to not be downtime! 3 bridesmaid dresses plus the wedding gown means I need to get my space cleaned up, vacuumed, and ready for action!
Halyma’s Belly Dancing For Fun has a couple of events to prep for next weekend – January 17th brings us to The Bay at Bayshore for the “Beauty @ the Bay Beautiful Skin Event. This event is all about wellness and beauty in 2009. There are several components to this event, skin care regime, sun care, health and diet, fitness and well being.”
Then Halyma will be performing later that evening as part of the multi-dancer show: Uncle Louis’ Restaurant Belly dance show/Hafla Still room to book a table and come out I am sure for a fun evening of Lebanese food and dancing!
But before that, my classes resume on January 12th, 13th and 15th at all of my usual haunts, and I am looking forward to getting moving again! I really do use the classes as my own personal workout time since the rest of my days seem to be involved with sitting and typing or sewing.
And the new baby: Eco-TAV has lots of work waiting for me to do for it as well! I will meet with a co-op this week to see about sewing help.
I need to contact a list of stores regarding carrying the products in house – but I need to make more stock first so that i have it on hand when I approach the stores! I still have a good amount of cotton and some hemp available [hint, hint] !
I also want to/need to do some major tweaking on the website and am looking at setting up my products on an online market place – but I need to get photos and descriptions organized for that before I go much further!
I am supposed to be working on that lovely wedding, my time can only be split amongst so many projects before workmanship suffers!
That’s an exaggeration of course, workmanship never suffers! Organization skills and phenomenal talents are my magical powers! At least that’s the illusion I like to keep up! and only as long as I schedule in fun time, rest, relaxation and time with hubby!
We won’t even get into the sewing videos, newsletter look update[ not done yet!], DVD3 [ not happening anytime soon, kids] or any of the other creative endeavors that I happily explore when I have a spare moment!
So, now that I have listed off most of what I want to do, I should really check on the soybeans I have cooking on the stove. I am trying a variation on the wontons that my friend S and I made back in December, but a vegan version with soybeans and mushrooms as the filling.
Maybe some other veggie stuff in there too – we’ll see! I was able to get the wrappers at a little chinese store in the market, so I am ready to go once the filling is !
Some promotional time! I’ll be teaching basics and having some fun with some folk in Madoc – be sure to check if out if you are interested in getting some bd time in this summer with a quirky slant!
