A true classic

whyknotmamaThis year, my husband really nailed Valentine's Day. He didn't get me flowers, no sir. He did not buy me jewelry, uh uh. He found something much shinier and lovely....the classical guitar I have been drooling over. Ohhh, she's a honey too. I'm pretty much head over heals for my Steve anyway, but the fact that he knows that I really, really, really, really, REALLY wanted this enough to get it for me (after I had refused to buy it for myself for some time) and encourage me to practice on it (seeing as I feel like I need practice to do her justice) just puts it right forefront again. WOW. What a great man!
We named her Rosa, and she has a sweet and cheerful voice, not to bright and not too low. I've been picking and practicing scales for a couple days...(got her as an early gift)...and hope to introduce her next week at my Oryana gig (2/24). We'll see how this week goes.
Here she is folks....
Lovely, no? I'll have to bring her out to play - VERY- soon.
In other news: I've been spending a lot of time trying to locate an "in-town base" while we wait for our house to be finished so we can move home...and I find myself at a local coffee shop called "Cuppa Joe" quite a bit in recent weeks. The particular one I head to is in the old State Hospital Building 50 - The Mercato. It's a great place to meet friends for a lovely chat or just chill and have a very super tasty vegerito (veggie breakfast burrito) with my very yummy coffee.....
I'm off for now then...preparing for another yarn contest (bulky this time!), getting applications in for art fairs, regular "job," house planning and all the other stuff to be done.
What are you up to? What crafty thing has got you caught up?
