Yes, it’s 5am. We are about to leave for my first street fair as a vendor. Wish me luck! Hopefully I will be a little more sane after today, as I have been going non stop to get ready. The next fair isn’t for 6 weeks, so I shouldn’t get so crazy next time. Unless I do really well this time and have to make all new stock. Here’s to crazy!! I’ll let you know tonight or tomorrow how it went. In … Read more
Um…I can’t find my camera. I think it is in the garage. There are no lights in there. It’s not connected to the house. It’s dark out. Really, I would go look with a flashlight, but it’s not the picture of neatness in there, and I am sure to stumble over something. Oh, and the dog ate my homework… I went out earlier to take some snaps of the set up in there. I have been planning out my booth … Read more
Doug’s Grandmother’s birthday fell a few days after Easter this year, and Doug wanted the girls to make her something special. So the day before our Easter gathering, he guided the girls in this craft. Apparently some of the kids he tutors had brought them into the center, and he thought they would be easy enough to duplicate. So, without further ado ~ here is a fun tutorial typed up by me, but inspired by my Crafty Husband!! Hand Print Lilies! To … Read more
I know, I have neglected my blog and my lovely readers over the past few weeks. I am sorry. First Doug was on break, and we spent the days working around the house (I did at least share a bit of that with you.) Doug still had to go to his second job, but it was nice to have him around during the school day. Then there was a week with no one on break, and me working feverishly to … Read more
I am with you. My family, my friends, all of you. Nearly 12 years ago, you were with me. When I needed healing after 9/11, I went to Beverly (north of Boston) and my family helped me. Now, I am with you. I am angry. I am sad. I am relieved (no one I know was hurt.) I am ashamed for being relieved. I am scared. I am proud (all those people running toward the disaster to help.) My family, my friends, everyone in … Read more
Things are a bit crazy here right now. I am having some dealings with the cable/internet/phone providers. Everything is slow and wonky. It should be fixed up by tomorrow evening. I have a vendor night on Friday to finish preparing for as well. So most likely it will be Saturday or Sunday before I get a real post up for you. I have a recipe to share, a couple kiddie crafts to share, and some cute photos. Well, off to bed. ©Copyright … Read more
Hello my friends! I am retesting 2 of my patterns. I did not have enough testers in the last go around, so I am testing these both again just to be sure that all the sizes are good! I am now running my tests in a group on Facebook. If you want to test either of these patterns, or if you will be interested in testing knit or crochet patterns for me in the future, then join this group. First … Read more
