Where have I been!
Shame on me. I have not posted in quite some time. My life has been a roller coaster but I am back. I am still practicing on the cello. I wish I can give more time than I do. But I am still at it. I will never give it up. I cannot believe it has been over a year since I last posted. How is everyone doing? I see my teacher every 2 wks now. Cannot afford to go every week like I have been in the past. Are there any beginners out there? How are you coming along?

What am I doing
Hello all,
You know I have had a lot of things going on, but I am ok. I still have not been practing like I should on my Cello. I have not given up. I will start today as a new day and will practice every day for 10-15 min. I am in book 2 now. Still have problems with my bowing. Also working on extensions. Keep me in your prayers.

Busy Busy Busy
Hello all
I know it has been some time since I last posted. I have been so busy. My quilting guild is hosting a quilt show in March. March 20 to be exact and we have been busy since this past November. We also have a quilt display at our public library. I have a couple of quilts on display there, one in particular is an Obama Quilt which I am very proud of. If I get time I will post a picture of it.
I have not had much time practicing on the Cello. I still go to my lessons and will start to make more time practicing at home. I so love playing and listening to the Cello and I am not applying myself like I should. But, that will change soon. My eyes are getting very heavy now so I will talk to you later.

New Cello
I have not posted for awhile. I have finally decided to get a new cello. From the last post the cello I was using got damaged and I had to pay for the repair. I definitely am not complaining because I thought the cost of repair would be considerably more. I had gotten a replacement till the other one got fixed but the replacement is not as good as the first one and it appears the cello wont get fix for some time so.
I decided to look around for another cello in my price range. My Cello teacher was supposed to me but was unfortunately unable to. So, i forged on thinking, "How in the world am i going to decide on a cello?" When I got to the shop there were other women who are in the philharmonic with my Cello teacher and one of them was a Cellist. She was there with 2 other violinist
One of the violinist was there to pick up her electric violin! WOW! The cellist was there to check out some bows that she had on reserve and they were definitely not in my price range. LOL! She was also looking into an electric cello! WOW! Those women were so excited. This was fun.
The Cellist helped me in selecting a cello. There was two that were in my price range. One was a Bianca and the other was a Lamberti. She played them both. With my playing I would not have been able to select one so easily. She played them then I played them. The first one we picked up was the Bianca it sounded light and full of fancy. We thought this is nice. Then we picked up the Lamberti it was more deep and I thought passionate. Geez! As we kept playing back and forth there was another Cello that was priced about $1000.00 more so we decided to pick that one up and see which one of the 2 sounded close to the more pricey one. The cellist stated that each person has their own preference of what they like in sound and feeling and both were wonderful instruments in the price range and I could not go wrong and choosing either one. She was a little bit more partial to the Bianca but the more I played and she played the Lamberti, I was drawn closer to the Lamberti. I love a deep, melodic full sound and passion and to me the Lamberti was calling my name. The sound was better than the more pricier one and the Bianca. The Lamberti it is. So that was what I purchased. Well I have to go now. I will talk more about my experience later. Bye!

Into book #2
Hello everyone,
It has been sometime since I last posted. I am at the end of the Suzuki book 1. My next visit with my cello teacher I will be starting book #2. I am also learning to play some spirituals in first position. I am also doing hand extensions. G to G#
I am getting my cello repair from the incident that I had previously. So I am playing another instrument until it gets repair.
Well gotta go. The bed is calling my name.
