THE CRAFT

i attempted to have a craft party last weekend. well, we never got to the crafting portion of the evening, but we did have a good time drinking wine and making homemade pizza. i have become obsessed with mobiles lately. i was determined to create my own. the day after my craft-turned-pizza party, i sat at my dining room table and had a really nice time crafting all by myself. i think this might have to remain something i do alone. it was nice to sit and really get into my own ideas. i do have to say that though mobiles look easy to make, they really are not. it takes patience and a lot of do-overs. this is something i think i can stick with though. i really like that there are no rules. and i like the idea of something keeping me away from bravo TV (i am a real housewives junkie). i will post pictures of my completed mobiles soon. 

we are getting ready for our next wedding which is just a couple of weeks away. i received the bride and groom to be's list of song requests yesterday and a lot of the music is stuff i listen to myself, so needless to say, i am thrilled. the reception is a DIY backyard bash which is right up my alley. 

hope you are staying cool this week. 

keep dancing,

A PEACOCK UPDATE

well, as one wedding passes another is weeks away. we had the pleasure of spending the day with two of our clients this past weekend. we visited their venue which is a really lovely country club in rancho santa margherita. afterward, we went to their home and they prepared us a delicious meal. it was so great to get to know them.

as i have mentioned in previous posts, i really love the process before a wedding. you get a glimpse into people's lives and even though their musical taste can tend to be really different from ours at times, the music still always makes me feel really good. this is one of the reasons why i love djing weddings. other djs have asked me if it's hard to not always play what i want to play, well, all i can say is that it is always a pleasure playing what people want to hear on a day they have been waiting for and planning for months, a day that they will remember forever. when it all comes together, it is a really special thing. it convinces me that this is what i am meant to do.

on another note, our night at the mezz went so well. so many people came out and the art was plentiful. we met some really talented artists, got to listen to some really good house music and i got to play a small tribute to the beastie boys. everything was well received. we will definitely be doing it again.


keep dancing,
steph
