One of Those Days!

Well for me it's one of those days when you would rather do most anything then what you should be doing! The weather doesn't help, rain, drizzle, fog, windy, cold, damp, I could go on but I am sure you all get the picture. I hate to complain about the weather because for the most part it has been wonderful, sunny, above average temperatures etc. but I guess it's human nature to complain. We will soon forget this bad spurt once the sun shines again, Newfoundlanders are like that.
It's Craft Fair season and many crafts people have been very busy at one fair or another. I just do the Craft Council Christmas Craft Fair at the Arts and Culture Centre. It's next week so I am busy tagging, sorting, making sure I have all that I need to set up the booth, sending Tweets and Facebook messages to remind folks to visit and buy, there doesn't seem to be any end to the prep work. In the end it will be all worth it. One of the best things is seeing friends, past customers and especially new customers who visit the fair.

Mark you calendars folks and come see me, I will be in the Pinafore Room Booth 107. See you at the fair.

End of January

Where has this month gone. Nearly ready to head to Halifax for ACTS (Atlantic Craft Trade Show) on Thursday, please weather co-operate.

My next project is to create something for "Operation Homespun".
I've been trying to put my own spin on a sleeveless top that is in the Homespun Book! I am using Patons Classic Marino. The deadkine is Feb 16th, I will have to get busy, no procrastination!!

Having withdrawals!

Can you believe it's been three days and I have not picked up my knitting?. On Friday I was feeling very proud of myself. I brought a large bag of yarn to the Craft Council/Anna Templeton Centre for the seconds sale. Unfortunately I undid all that by going to the seconds sale and buying lots of neat yarn that others I am sure also felt proud to have removed from their cupboard or stash. What I will knit with my new found yarn has not been determined. Some of it is baby yard that must be 30 or 40 years old from the labels, Patons, made in England, in it's original box, what a find, wish the cover was with it. I also bought a Granny Square afghan crocheted and needing finishing, bright blocks trimmed with black, a project for the Hiscock House maybe?

I have walked and walked in this beautiful city over the last three days, ran in to some dear friends that I haven't seen in ages and saw the first dandelions of the season, they will be cold tomorrow because the temperature will be much colder the the 14+ of the last three days.
