Seattle

I'm pretty much all settled in here in Seattle. Unfortunately, one of my shipping boxes seems to have been stolen by USPS, which I'm exceeding pissed about, since it contained years of my sheet music books and rep collections, my monologue rep, at least a couple dvds, and probably other stuff as well. I'm still praying that it will turn up, but I sent it with three other media mail boxes all at the same time, to be delivered to the same place, and while the other three made it to Seattle two days before the expected delivery, the last time this one was ever scanned was as it was being put on the truck to go from the Los Gatos post office to the San Jose sorting center. I'm also still waiting for three other boxes to arrive (including my serger), which were all shipped Tuesday. And I need to get to IKEA to buy a desk/sewing table, and I'm waiting for my new Queen size sheets to come in the mail.

But other than all that...

I did get a (very) part-time costuming job today! I will be the costuming assistant at Stone Soup Theatre for the summer, helping out two days/week on the costumes for all of their youth summer camps. And I think I might be getting a FT job at the Space Needle, but now I haven't heard from them for two days, so I'm starting to get a bit worried.

On the sewing front, the only things I've done recently was alter a king bedskirt to fit my queen bed (I found it at a thrift store - light blue with darker polka dots!), and make a pair of blue curtains out of some lovely (poly) twill suiting material from Joanns. The drape is so lovely! Speaking of which, I did break down and order some wool from the fabric.com sale, so I'm also waiting on that arrival. I really hope at least one of them will work for a late Victorian bathing suit! I have decided, though, that once I get my sewing center set up, I'm putting the teens gown aside and going back to the Candy Bustle. The pink is calling to me!
