Longest Night Moon

I bought this VOGUE pattern in 1999. Does that make it vintage?

I have not had much energy lately and sleep each afternoon….but all I can think about is making a full length skirt from this old pattern. So, I dragged Larry to a few fabric shops and I found this amazing wide whale corduroy to make the skirt out of.

Over the next two weeks I have a few events to attend and need to be as comfortable as possible. I will wear this skirt with a black turtleneck and my Kate Spade Rhinestone necklace. { and Burberry accessories}

The skirt does not have side pockets but I am adding them. I am looking forward to filling the pockets with lip gloss, tissues and mints. It will be nice to go out over the holidays in my new casual/formal skirt. Hashtag:letsgetthisradiationoverwith.

I am reading a book about recovering my creative spirit. I try to be creative, in some way, every day….making a skirt counts, doesn’t it?

Have a perfectly creative day.

Love you beyond the moon that will be full on Dec, 12 at 12:12 am. It is called, The Longest Night Moon.

Paul Anka Under A Full Moon

Larry and I had tickets for a concert last night. We also had reservations at the Opera House for dinner. It was a beautiful evening. We sat outside and enjoyed the pre-evening, before the evening.

When it was time for us to be seated, we went to the restaurant. They did not have our reservation. {we had made reservations and paid for dinner in June} They said they we could carry our food to an upper level, {in the elevator} but they would “fit us in”….Larry was angry.

We met with the manager, she gave us our money back and we walked to Steven Pyles Restaurant. The Maitre D was charming. When he heard our delima and that we needed to be at the concert in 90 minutes, he said no problem.

He sat us at the chefs table. It was a choreography of its own. I adored being in the kitchen, at Steven’s restaurant.

We sipped our wine. We talked to the chefs. We laughed, had a wonderful dinner { Larry had the rabbit, I had the chicken} but still worried about making it to the concert in time.

The meal was fabulous. We were on time but I did not get dessert. Next time, right?

We left for the concert.

Paul Anka, was charming. We were on time AND had the best time. What an amazing concert. {Trivia: Paula Anka was part of the famous “Rat Pack” back in the day}

So much happened last evening and I have left out 3/4’s of it. It was an amazing evening. Moments with Larry are the best…not to mention moments with Paul Anka under a full harvest moon.

As our evening crumbled and then was pieced together in the most wonderful way, I was reminded that I am not in charge at all. God handled things just perfectly and I am thankful……not to mention….Paul Anka under a full moon.

Love you beyond the moon.

Love Is…

Matilda gave me The LOVE Jar for my birthday. There is a slot in the lid to drop the pieces of paper with your notes on them.

I often think, if something should happen to me today and someone would read the notes in my jar, I better make the memories good ones.

Did you see the amazing full moon last night?

Love you beyond the moon.
