The Elves and the Shoemaker

What an amazing experience!
The Elves and the Shoemaker was my very first attempt at writing, producing and directing.
And I survived.
Would I do anything differently?
Nope.
Enjoyed every uncertain, educating, sleepless, difficult, breathtaking, teary, exhilarating minute!
To all my elves and shoemakers: Thank you. A HUGE thank you.
I love you all!

These shoes are 'Perfection'!

Peeved being a little less peeved.

  2. Every year you drive me insane with desire for pie. You are wicket...very very wicked. Oh yes, and sincere congratulations on your theatrical triumph. Now go eat your pie.

  3. You are a force to be reckoned with, Diane - writing, producing, directing and running a play with many little people, PLUS creating dozens of pies, PLUS blogging PLUS running a household ... many tips of the hat to you!

    Looking forward to hearing more about the play! And I THOUGHT March 14 was a special day but there was nothing noted on my calendar so I forgot again!!

  7. Mmm, pies! I'm off pastry at the moment, doing a bit of weight losing here to fit into my jeans for the winter.
    I've forgotten why you have pie night, refresh my memory?
    The photos from the play look interesting.
