A hat and a pair of booties



Finally got some time to list a couple more items in my Bits of Fiber shop on Artfire. I just wish this economy would get back on track. I don't expect a miracle and make everybody rich in a couple of months but it sure would be nice if people could afford to buy things they like. That would make them happy and me included! :0)

Here's a hat I put up for sale and my latest pair of baby booties. I actually wrote down how I did it this time ... I had made another pair similar to this one which was a pattern I had gotten from an old pattern book but of course me being me ... I can never just do things the way they tell you to do it. Not that I can't do it ... my hands just refuse to follow what my brain reads and off I go doing my own thing. Most of the time it does work out ... only thing that used to drive me crazy is that half the time I forgot how I did it the first time around. I've gotten into the habit to not only writing down how I do it but I knit or crochet one row on the one bootee, stop and then knit or crochet that same row on the #2 bootee ... that way I remember it and they both turn out the same!

The Market and getting interviewed!



Had a great first market at the Archwood Green Barn in THe Plains today. A big "thanks" to my new and returning customers for making my day.

Then I had pictures taken and interviewed by a reporter from the Fauquier Times Democrat newspaper, how exciting is that! I was busy needle felting a new scarf when he came by and asked if he could take pictures while I was busily felting away. Needless to say it was a great morale boost for me and made my day even better.

Been working on some new items for the market and my Etsy shop. Made a couple brooch flowers, one I put on the kid's hat I had made and another one just by itself. The brown brooch sold today so I'll be making more of them. Here are a couple pictures I took with my phone so they are not the best. Thanks for dropping by and reading my blog.
