The first project is no longer a UFO. I started the pumpkin blocks while on our Paducah/Memphis trip back in April. I think I pieced the top in May and then it sat in the closet waiting it's turn for quilting. Now I am in the process of finishing all the runner/wall hanging tops so that I can to get them out to the craft shows. This one got quilted on Wednesday. I do have another identical one to try to get done yet. It is a Cottage Rose pattern.
The first batch of machine knitted cotton dishcloths are packaged and ready for the next show. I have been knitting each morning for the last couple weeks in order to get this many. Aren't they pretty! There are 48 sets stacked here.
They are packaged in sets of 3 and tied with raffia and a silk leaf. I learned the packaging trick from another machine knitter years ago at a seminar.
We were getting ready to go out to dinner Friday night and we look out the window to see these 3 bucks! We get deer on almost a daily bases but not usually 3 bucks at once. I ran for the camera and took a ton of pics to sort out the good ones. They were about 60 feet from the house here by our apple and spruce trees. Butting horns.
Then they came closer to the house, about 20 feet or less from our front porch. Notice the green grass here yet. This morning it had some white stuff mixed in, and I don't mean frost...we woke up to it snowing!!!!!!!!!!!! My deck is all white, grrrr we are not ready nor wanting it yet. I still have bulbs to dig and patio furniture to put away.
Some of you were asking how the first craft show was going this past week. It finished up last night. I worked a 3 hour shift yesterday afternoon so I could be there to find my stuff easier and pick it up and bring it home. The show was down as an over all , several of us vendors were not so happy this year. Of course we don't know why the people weren't coming like previous years. But for once I am not letting it bother me too much as I have 2 shows going at the same time in the very near future. Today I will divide what I had leftover and deliver to one of the shows on Tuesday. This show runs for 4 long weekends of Thursday thru Sundays.
