This week has been very creative in the Morrison household, but mostly for my son, who is the director of Cumbernauld Musical Theatre Society.

Titanic the musical performed by Cumbernauld Musical Theatre Society

Their annual show was Titanic the musical and it ran from Tuesday to Saturday this week. In addition to directing the show he also played two different parts, so I got to hear him perform too.

Managing a cast of nearly 50 people, running twice weekly rehearsals , planning lighting and sound , ordering costumes , coordinating ticket sales and designing programmes was a full time job on top of his actual full time job .

I like to think he gets some of his creative talent and multi-tasking skills from his mum but certainly no vocal talent has passed from my gene pool ! I was roped in as front of house staff so very little creative output from me this week.

I did however take delivery of some new coasters , which have been well received , as they depict Ruby the felted robin, who compliments the Frosted Berry candle , and my business colleague’s dad’s garden , which will be a perfect gift for anyone who loves gardening as they are vibrant with colour . A matching Ruby robin ceramic coaster and candle would make a lovely Christmas gift.

Today I took delivery of more candles, so can now stock my shelf in the Scottish Design Exchange. This should be good for pre-Christmas sales. Merchandise apparently sells particularly well at this time of year.

I am also meeting up with friends from my old art class this week for Christmas lunch. They have asked to see some of my work. It is quite interesting to see how many of my images are now on greetings cards, coasters, mugs and candles.

I appear to have been quite prolific in a short space of time. This week I should be adding two completed pet portraits to my list of completed work.
