My Aunt Kathy (The Millionaire's Aunt, really) taught me to crochet this week. I vaguely remember my grandmother making afghans for us as kids and I know I've learned how to make chains before, but finally I sat down and learned how to put them all together. It has been quick and easy for me, so Aunt Kathy gave me a bag full of yarn to pull apart and untangle as a starting point for practicing my single crochet, double crochet and edging.
I know I promised photos of the summer's events but, it's my blog, so I'm showing the craft fair first.
Neener neener.
I participated in my first craft show a week or so ago. It went pretty well, despite a few things I would have liked to tweak (like having walls for my canopy so you can't see everyone else's crap! ) Here are a few photos of my mania prior to and then at the show. I was dog tired all day that day having been awake until after 2 am at a rock n roll show the night before. Thank the lawd the Millionaire got us a hotel room with a big fat whirlpool tub!
I give you the Plainwell, MI Craft Fair 2009
My beloved took me to a cute B&B for my birthday/Easter just because I had never been to one and had always wanted to see what it was like. After spending two glorious nights there, we went with friends to celebrate Easter. What better way to celebrate rebirth than in a gorgeous home, filled with laughter, puppies and fresh flowers. Thank you, babe, for a wonderful birthday treat. I sure did need it.
