happy anniversary

The moments ticked by silently, counted in children's birthdays, weddings, picnics, movies, vacuuming, sorting socks, parent teacher conferences, smiles and tears. We celebrated twenty-five years of bonding, loving memories on the fourteenth of this month. Here's to twenty-five more years of us and the family we built! I love you, Greg. Happy Anniversary!

early to bed, early to rise

Last night, I went to bed at 6:30a and planned to get up in just a couple of hours to prepared for a meeting this afternoon. To my surprise, I slept clean through to morning and got up at 4:30a. Although I am not an early morning person, this feels good and I am hoping to get alot done today. If my schedule allowed for some sort of normalcy I would be more regularly rested. Of well, at least I love what I do.

it's 5 in the a.m. but i'm happy to have another web page up

That's right, I stayed up way to late but I am very happy with the progress I made this evening. My "Textile Arts" web page is up. Check it out: http://www.converse-doucette.com/converse-doucette-textile-art.html. I scanned in horse-hair (a type of interfacing used to tailor men's suits) and used it for the background and the navigation base. I, also, scanned in some yarn that I hand spun to use as an accent and divider. Craft magazine has posted two of my recent articles, one explaining how to make a neck-tie skirt and the other how to knit with vinyl yarn and use metal hardware findings as adornments, on their website/blog and I linked to them so that my readers (I hope I will have some) can take advantage of the free how-to. Let me know what your thoughts are.

my website is up... well mostly

omIt has taken me way too long but, alas, my website is up. There are still three web pages to be completed and loaded but I am no longer procrastinating. The benefits are already obvious as I was able to refer a potential employer to my online theatre resume instead of attaching a pdf of my printed document. It is more like a portfolio than a resume as the listing of jobs is interactive, bringing up photographs, sketches and renderings of my work.
In addition to the online resume/portfolio, I am writing a monthly "how-to" craft article and including links to some of my favorite theatre, craft, textile and misc. websites. This week, I have scheduled putting up my textile arts web page. This page will be initially simple but grow and evolve after I get the rest of the site up. SlixGrfx and photography will be the other two pages.
Thanks for checking out my site and I appreciate any feedback. It is a work in progress and I will announce additions and improvements as I go along.
