There are sometimes you work on something that you work with fabulous people to create a costume that one is so proud of, I got the chance to work with Kevin Freeman who I have been a fan of for the past few years ...

to create this costume... I LOVE IT ! From the design to talking through the alterations of it to the the finished costume it stunning !

Great to see Jeff and Robert

MHS CRUISE SHIP!

Working on 11 shows for the ship with costumes and a trip to Marseille !

UPDATE !

Just noticed haven't blogged in ages ! so this is a catch up lol ! been a crazy few months don't know where Oct Nov and December have gone .. time seems to just fly by ! October flew by with creating costumes for a cruise ship for old friend Steve Bor of Bor Productions . I seemed to spend a lot of time up an down the m6 where steve has a great unit in dare I say Blackpool.. I just cant seem to get unattached  to the place .. but it gives me a chance to see my friends  up there so thats a bonus !

I went on the ship in November in Marseille it was in dry dock to do all the fittings etc ... on return it was back  

to UK to organise Christmas shows and the Olympia Horse show  costumes .. castings and rehearsals ...

also managed to fit 2 days at Wilkes Academy giving classes to the students which I throughly enjoyed 

and a showcase in Torquay ... and the monthly Generation classes with a party after class in December!

The Generation classes have become very special indeed ... great seeing everyone  each month, seeing old friends turn up is always a thrill.... so looking forward to next years dates the first one on the 7th January at Dance Attic at 1pm to 3pm ..

The Horse show went well and the response has been very good ! so its always good to finish the year on a up!

Glad to say have kept in very good health ! and  lovely to spend  some well deserved time off at Christmas !

with family and friends ... so coming up to the New year.... my new resolution list is getting quite long !

but thankful all the kindness and help, love and support I have from some very special people .. I am a lucky man  and honoured to know some smashing Friends ... heres to a New Year ... and I hope its everybody's  year!!!
