All's Well (if you don't count the cow hide)

Everything in Spring Green is going swimmingly. We are on the verge of tech for Matchmaker and it looks as though our milliner has finished all 30 hats he needed to make for the set. Sets is a little further behind, but they also have more new people working in the shop. Our only fiasco in the crafts room has been a miscalculation and miscommunication about boots for Romeo and Juliet. The original approved design changed when the designer needed to change the shoes into something the actors could fight in. Apparently the first set of shoes slipped too much. We were going to be making boot tops for 8 pairs of the shoes. Unfortunately, the designer made a slight alteration the the look of the boot tops without telling the craft room. We didn't find this out until marking out all of the boots on the leather hide. Blah.

It has been a blessing working 40 hour weeks and living close enough to visit family and friends. I did manage to see X3 with Andrew on opening night. I was greatly disappointed by the lack of costumes at the theatre. This is definitely the weakest of the 3, but still worth seeing. If nothing else, to see Sir Ian McKellen. And stay through the credits. A lot of the people from the 12:05 and 12:09 midnight showings were making fun of their friends from the 12:01 showing getting out later than they did until they heard they had missed out.
