The Souhegan Valley Chorus Spring concert is this Saturday. The theme is "Broadway" and it should be a great concert. If you are local and want to go, it is at Souhegan High School in Amherst, NH at 7:30pm. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children and senior citizens.
I really like singing in the choir, particular getting out of the house and meeting new people. Lately, however, I have been having a conflict with another member of the group which is making it not so much fun anymore. I really don't want to go into details here, but if things don't turn around with her, I might quit. I'm at a point in my life where I know it is better for me to just get rid of the negative people in my life, particularly when they make me miserable and feel bad about myself.
The other big news is that I finally finished my sweater! It still ended up being a little big on me, but it is warm and cozy and that's the important part.
I have started working on my sister's wedding gift, which will not be posted on here any time soon. Too bad so sad. I am also working on my first pair of socks. There was a special sock kit available at Ewe'll Love It! to benefit the Breast Cancer 3 Day Walk. The yarn is beautiful: pink, brown and gray varigated. Beverly, the owner of the shop designed the pattern. The original pattern has two ribbons on the side, but I only did one repeat to keep the sock a little shorter. I am almost done with the first one. It is very exciting!
I also bought some really cool sock yarn called "Flat Feet" to bring along as a project when I go to Austin with Patrick in two weeks. The yarn is machine knit into a flat and then handpainted. You work directly from the flat which removes the need to wind the yarn into a ball and minimizes tangling. I got these gorgeous Autumn-y colors that will match my sweater.
Time to go grocery shopping. We have practically no food in our house. Unless you count Jell-o and pretzels. . .
