Gettin' It Pegged…Loom Knitter's Clique

Well…we’ve been keeping you all in such terrible suspense, I know!  It’s time to alleviate your “dying to know” strains, lol…

As you’ve already read, Isela Phelps, Jenny Stark, Shannon Erling, and myself have been very much blessed to be able to have the opportunity to work on a project together for Provo Crafts!  It’s been an absolute fantastic time getting to know these 3 ladies better and in person!!!  I’ve enjoyed every minute of it, truly!

The first part was to help produce a new infomercial promoting the Knifty Knitter Looms.  The 2nd involved another trip on a plane to Utah, to create a tutorial project DVD that will be placed into every package of Knifty Knitters sold…can you believe it?! 😀  This is so exciting!  We each got to show, step by step, how to do 3 projects… the ones I demonstrated were these:

• Felted Wooly Pumpkins
• Beaded Butterfly Choker
• Ruff-les & Stripes Doggie Sweater

1. Hopefully it all comes out smoothly on the DVD, because it actually took about 6 hours to film my part of it…Yikes!  But the cameraman, Cameron, was a very nice, gentle soul, who made the whole process very laid back, smooth & easy.  There were a few technical issues as well, so the entire 6 hours weren’t exactly filled with just my own monotonous dronings-on, lol! 😉

After the filming, I was met at Provo Crafts by Jenny, Isela, and her hubby, Sam! 😀  We all went on a fun tour of the whole facility, and then headed back to the hotel to freshen up for dinner.  Sam was great to taxi us all around town, searching for just the right place to eat…we ended up at TGI Fridays, and the funny thing is that we all ordered the exact same thing: Combo Chicken/Steak Fajitas!  Mmmmm…they were delish!  Isela was once again very happy to be fed, lol. ;D  Sam was a really fun person to meet and get to know a bit better.  He has a great sense of humor and a quiet, polite personality.  Between the two of them, Isela and Sam make a very cute couple indeed!   We were all joking and laughing throughout the entire meal, and just having a great time in general. 🙂

Then it was back to the hotel where Isela gave herself a manicure for her filming the next morning, and Jenny finished up some last-minute looming on her projects for the next afternoon.

Then, guess what?  I got to have a sleep over with Miss Jenny Stark! 😀  She’s such a little sweetie and even though she has a very quiet demeanor, put her in pajamas and she’ll talk your ears off, lol!  hehehe…I’m just joshing…we both had plenty to say to one another, and I completely enjoyed having her company that night.  She’s really a true kindred spirit!  Thanks so much for your friendship, Jenny!

To finish off the trivia bits (in the previous post I shared about Isela), I’d like to share 5 things I learned about Jenny:

1. She looks great in the color purple!
2. She’s very diligent about her daily exercize…100 pushups!…not even if I tried, lol…
3. She loves to laugh and giggle. 🙂
4. She’s extremely giving…even when she will end up going without.
5. Her family comes first always, and she can be a ferocious mama bear when her kids need sticking up for. 🙂

Here are 5 things I learned about Sam:

1. He’s got a great sense of humor…once the ice is broken, lol. 😉
2. He used to be a substitute teacher.
3. He doesn’t really care for my car, lol!
4. He’d rather read a book than watch a movie…especially a Jim Carey one 😉
5. He’s extremely polite and opens doors for his wife! 😀  I know…awwwwwwww!

Well…that’s about it for now…except to remind you to be watching for our smiling faces and loomy projects in the new infomercial that should be making it’s debut the week of Thanksgiving on most major networks, including your local and DIY channels.  It will be just like we’re popping by to chat about looming for a bit, right in your own living room, lol! ;D

Have a wonderful week!
