Irvington Home Tour

Besides running errands for my next project, I also went to a meeting for the Historic Irvington Home Tour. I’ve done the layout for the program book for the past several years.

Finis!

We finished the puppets today! The only thing left to do is wait for the truck tomorrow. Well, I’m also updating the packing instructions with photos. This is my friend Lance posing like one of those models from the 1950 instruction manuals. It amuses me a great deal that he’s pretending to read the instructions

I had to run out to the studio tonight to pin together a piece for Martha to stitch tomorrow. When I got there, I turned on the florescent lights and immediately heard a crackling sound followed by a burning smell. Yikes. I turned them off and turned on the flashlight that Rob had brought from

Exercise?

I biked fourteen miles today. That’s six miles to the studio and then home again, as well as a one mile to meet a writing group and then a mile home. I’m a little tired, but feeling very satisfied. Rob is doing situps. I think he’s feeling left out.
