flowers, craft show
our trip to prudence where my mom lives:
big condo from weyhauser building on mainland. penthouse goes for 10million, it's sold.
my first gladioli this summer. its so tall and straight. gotta remember to chop stem down after it turns yellow so nutrients have made it back into bulb for next year.
big yacht docked at harbor
moms strange yellow flowers
craft show went well, $37 and table cost $20, even the lady selling blueberries, jam and pie/cake didnt sell out this year. we sold minimal items and hope october show has a lot better turnout. it was over 90 with 85% humidity. we were dripping wet just after seting up the table. the things that did sell were: crocheted sea shells, knit/crochet facecloths (4 of them) 4 pairs of socks made with self striping yarns, pillows showing lighthouses on them (quilted), light blue baby sailboat sweater, from debbie macombers site and one seashell pencil holder. surprised funfur flipflops didn even get but a glance from one person. moms bulky weigh aran coat swater (woman actually tried it on!) quilted poholders sold but they always do. my portfolio was on top of 2 afghans and one woman looked through it as she knows i do some work for knit picks. actually working on last of their projects and should have that done this week. one half of it is done allready. we were exhausted by saturday afternoon and had greg put AC on for when we got home. unloaded truck on sunday it was just that hot. took our nightly walk and got some good pictures of scenery.
watched postman saturday night and saw dam in washington that we travel near on our way to mt. rainier.
relaxing weekend after the craft show was over and done with. we had left coasters and hair scrunchies at other house or those mighve sold. put them in spare bedroom til then so we wont forget to bring them. dropping down to one table in october. so only half the items will come with us. some wanted to see hat/scarf/mittens sets so we need to get a few of them made up also.

contest, pattern, knit, prayer shawl, flowers, seashells
http://www.crochettoday.com/ enter a square for the chance to win. i won't show the one i'm submitting but i've sent an email to them allready.
this is a knit prayer shawl using bamboo sample from Granny's Garret in Austria. There were many different stitch patterns there that I thought would make a good shawl. http://www.grannys-garret.com/
spring has arrived in RI. it's way early LOL Some parts of TN are getting snow today, it could be us but storm goes the northern most route for past week or we'd have 3 feet of snow now.
More flowers to come, can't wait to see the tiger lilly tulips.
sea shell pencil holders. these are fun to make, even getting the shells on the beaches. the problem was what to use for the putty stuff. some stuff i had bought never hardened. this stuff does and i do have spray to use to keep it shiny. hope it doesn't discolor and turn yellow. We got reservations to goto the island for the 15th.
