Farm Market


I want to thank everybody who stopped at my table today as this was my first craft show. I would have to say it was slow, but I had fun and would definitely do it again. I almost forgot to take a picture, so the one above is a little hurried.

My mother-in-law was nice enough to sit with me. She was selling the adorable soft sculptured baby dolls on the right.

How flattering -  My "Lenny Blu" wallet (bottom left) was featured in a treasury. Thanks Misobel!

Winter Fun

This past Sunday I went to Sylvan Hill in Wausau, WI with my mom, brother and two nieces. The weather was perfect, the sledding tubes were very fast and best of all they had a tow rope that pulled the tubes (and the riders) uphill - so no huffing & puffing required!

I would have liked to get a picture while sliding down the hill, but  I was going so fast, that I was afraid that I would have lost the camera - not to mention that most of the way down I had my eyes squeezed shut.


No walking required - a tow rope takes you to the top of the hill!


My mom & niece wait their turn to go down

And the Winner Is...




Thank you to everybody who left comments on my "It's a Giveaway!" post. Today is the one year anniversary of my first Etsy sale, and to celebrate I decided to give away one of my patchwork scarves.



The random number generator picked 21 and the 21st comment was left by Pamela- Congratulations!

Almost Finished!


I am finally finishing up my wristlets. I think that is the last time I do such a large group for awhile- my lame saying about this project has been, "if one is fun, then forty must be a blast!"

The Farm Market is only two weeks out and I fear that I am not going to get make all the things that I wanted for it. I started cutting out a few purses this week - far less than forty and it went so quick I thought I was forgetting something.

Wristlets... Wristlets... & Still - More Wristlets



I have decided to make a "few" wristlets, 40 to be exact. Some will go to darn knit {anyway}, some will go to Bolio Home and the rest will be posted on Etsy and come with me to my very first craft show - the Winter Farm Market in Appleton, WI.

If you are in the area, I will be at the Farm Market on Saturday, February 27 from 9am-1pm - I am so excited, but there are soooo many things I want to make in the next 4 (ONLY 4) weeks!

Mr. Gunn - You Look Stunning in Red



Yesterday I was surfin' the ol' web when I came across this gem by Sarah of Totally Severe.

In case you are wondering who is being depicted in this handcrafted delight, it is Tim Gunn of Project Runway, one of my favorite shows. Although you would not know it by the way I dress, it is the only show that has more than one season that I have seen every episode of (except for the All Star Challenge, but I'll catch that one of these days).

Thank you Sarah for making my day!
