New Steps for house and for moi

[primsong]

One of those miraculous amazing old gentle men from my church came and helped me install the boards for my front steps because I was concerned I'd get them crooked and someone would trip. They look fabulous! And golly he was fast - I'm still carefully tap-tap-tapping away at the nails to tack down one end of the boards and there he is with over half of his side done already. I am SO grateful!

Also, "I did the thing!" and pat myself on the back, which was performing a solo dance up in Ilwaco and it went beautifully. My daughter filmed it on her phone - not perfect, of course, but I'm surprisingly pleased with it. She got me to put it onto facebook (I rarely use fb) so she could share it. The Lavender Festival folks even transformed a tool shed into an amazing dressing room for the dancers and all the quaint outbuildings were decorated with beads, drapes, persian rugs, etc.

What a lovely garment and kudos to you on doing your solo!

A welcome treat! It's nice to discover an event that I can look forward to returning to instead of finding it was overblown, I can see why they all talk about this one every year.

Thank you! I wasn't nearly as freaked out as I was afraid I would be, though I think it helped that the audience was somewhat sparse this year. Sometimes I think I just love the dressing up more than the dancing, the layering and fun dangly things have so many combinations and it all looks so pretty no matter what you do. It definitely brings out the inner magpie!
