This morning I'm clutching a large black coffee and trying to get myself going because we have our dress rehearsal at 1 pm and the concert at 7:30. So I've got a few hours to get ready and get into the Christmas spirit, because at the moment I feel a bit like this:
No regular post today; I was up until the wee small hours of the morning, serging the edges of the scarves for our choir concert, which is today. I'm a tad cranky about this, because when the committee which handles the dress/ decor for the choir discussed scarves at the beginning of the season, they said we would be using the white ones I made two years ago. Then, two practices ago, they announced that they'd found fabric for new scarves in a metallic grey ombre (graduated colour, from dark to light) which would go better with the theme of the concert, which is "From Darkness Into Light". I was asked if I would mind helping on such short notice and I said that of course I wouldn't mind (this was an untruth). Two of the committe members said that they would cut out the scarves and another said that she would serge half of them and drop the other half- 30- off at my house for me to do. She brought them by on Monday night, but instead of half, gave me all 60, explaining apologetically that there was something wrong with her serger. Oh. So I had to get them all done, which wasn't easy, as I was at work all day and had to be out three evenings this week for various reasons. Yeesh. The guys in the choir have it so much easier- they just have to show up in a black suit and bow tie, and remember to wear black socks.
