Halo Sweets.

Cello-string necklaces are back! There are only a few. Get them while you can.

I had so much fun recording the new album with Daniel and Catie. I am still working on it myself and hope to mix in August.

Daniel is a talented dear and his singing makes me crazy with happiness.

We took some Rasputina Field-trips^™ to historical houses in the area for inspiration- Martin Van Buren's Lindenwald and Frederic Church's Olana.

I'm glad it's been cool & rainy here in the Hudson Valley. When we record, we shut all the windows and doors to keep out sound, so that tends to be pretty sweaty. But not this season.

Dawn Micelli visited us while we worked. She wanted to get some last bits for her rockumentary. She is a crack-up and we love to hang out with her.

Hm, did I mention that I am pregnant? WHa-ha, it's true! I am to have a baby in November. I am quite overjoyed about it. The father is my dream-man that turns out to be a real person.

Please enjoy yourself and I'll see you later,
Melora
