Halloween tablerunner

I whipped this up today too. Feels good to be sewing again. Happy Halloween!

Halloween cupcakes

Thanks to mom's Family Fun Magazine gift, I have a horde of scary cupcakes to serve the kids tonight!

Construction site, location two

Here we are on the 2nd location of the day, Rick's Rolling Smokehouse at the construction site. Rick can take a customer payment from anywhere!

Back on location

Here is a picture of the location we are shooting today, while they are setting up. A very cool space, made to look like a design studio.

Two cats

I am home for a brief break between shooting days, and am working from home to see a little bit of my kiddos before I head out again. And I couldn't resist the opportunity to post this pic of my two cats, both home and healthy, and close enough together that I could catch them in the same frame.

Movie magic

We are ending Day 3 of shooting with some shots of the exteriors. For this one (hat shop) the plan was to shoot it with a boy on a bike riding by. I freaked everyone out by asking if we could have a customer entering the shop. (Healthy thriving businesses use Intuit products!).

After a little flurry of protest at the last minute request ("we don't have that kind of extra on hand, no appropriate wardrobe" etc) the movie magic people took over and out of thin air appeared a nicely dressed man, complete with umbrella (our ground was wet by this point.). A customer! Voilà!

See, I am adding value!

Have I mentioned the healer?

Interspersed with the catering (I just turned down banana creams) we have a healer coming by to ensure we stay comfortable, energetic and healthy. In the morning he brings our vitamins in little flavored liquid sipping cups. Just now we had oxygenated energy boosts. He offered mouthwash after lunch. You have a need, he has the solution.

Mocha anyone?

A case of mistaken identity?

I stepped out of Video Village to make a phone call, when a tour bus from Universal Studios drove by. They all stared intently at me. And then one waved. I tried to look aloof and distracted, to fulfill their hopes that I was a star on a break. But then I ruined it by snapping a photo of them...

Lunch on the steps of a New York Brownstone

We couldn't find a free table so we decided to perch here on the steps of what seems to be simulating a New York street with a row of brownstones. I am with Val and my account team Melissa and Leah from the agency.
