What went wrong with the Monkeys…

Okay…yesterday I was going to post a really long blog entitled Monkeys in the Bathtub.  If you look on the sidebar, it still says that I did post an entry entitled that (or it did when I wrote this).  It was rather long, just the way I wanted it to sound, and the important thing was that it was done.  Well, I clicked on the Publish button and wah-lah…nothing.  Everything was gone.  I have no idea where it went.  I tried pushing the back arrow…tried searching my window history, and I did find it that way, but when I tried to publish that one, it asked me to log on again, and when I did…everything was gone again! Needless to say, I was ticked off slightly frustrated 😉  and had to get off the computer for the rest of the day. 

So to forget my angst, we went on a family outing to our local event…the Garlic Fest & Craft Fair.  What a fun Fun @ the Garlic Festtime!  Just the smell on the breeze was fabulous.  You don’t have to be a lover of garlic to enjoy this event, though.  It’s held at a historic farm and barn right outside of town, and the event is sprawled around the hillside and inside the barn.  There’s rows of hay bales set up to listen to a live band playing rock/blues, and a whole row filled with venders selling absolutely delicious food…it was so old time harvesty, mixed with a contemporary flair…we all had such a great time just being there!

On a loomy note…I’m working on something exciting that I hope you’ll enjoy!  Next week I will be posting a new page on the site where you can go to find loomy patterns that will inspire & challenge  you.  I’ve been busy knitting up projects and typing up plans that will keep you going for sometime.  I can’t wait to share them with you!  Here’s a little preview…

Almost Famous…

Our County Family MagazineHey!  If you’re looking for something fun to do with your kidletts…just check out the article below!  Yes, that’s me in the county family magazine: September issue.  I have had a lot of experience conducting children’s crafts and programs, and so I contribute ideas for kids and parents to do together  to the monthly magazine. 

Plus, I think it helps to still be just a big kid myself!  😀

Look, it’s Me!

Before Felting…

This little diddy is my newest, almost done project!  I’m aiming for it to be one item…but depending on how it comes out after felting, it may miraculously become something else! 😉

I love the color changes…it so reminds me of Fall & harvest time.  I think Fall is my absolute favorite time of year.  I love the crisp smell in the air and seeing all the gorgeously rich colors that nature has bestowed on us…it’s so magical! 

Well…I’ll keep you posted on how it turns out.  Before I felt it, I have to stop by my local craft store to pick up some “sparkle” for the trim…another thing I absolutely love!
