Thank you everybody for your kind words! It really does feel great to be starting a new job. This weekend was filled with "Let's Celebrate Carolina" events:
- Thursday: DH and I went out for dinner.
- Friday: Knit and Nosh at KH...I resisted and didn't buy any Noro Transitions...
- Saturday: visited Ch'Naca Farm and Fiberworks in Prince Frederick, MD. They carry Opal sock yarn! I picked up one skein of Opal, alpaca roving, and a drop spindle!!!!
- Saturday afternoon: signed up for a handspinning class at Springwater
- Sunday:
---1st stop - Went to my first ever estate sale! Fun, fun, fun. I picked up fabric, Japanese art, quilting patterns, cool scissors, Ogee mirror, cool luggage, sewing ruler, and Hummel postcard.
---2nd stop - Elks lodge flea market. Boring! Nothing but crapola. If I were the vendors I would protest against the junk resellers. What's wrong with people? I was hoping to see more unique items than boxes and boxes of $1 sponges. I was able to find a cool set of xacto knives. It's missing blades but for $5 you can't go wrong.
---Final stop - Yesterday's rose. Large! Good stuff and lots of variety. I found a retro briefcase, quilting magazines and some fabric. The briefcase is for my new job. Joy!
- Sunday afternoon: I did this:
She's crafty
Here's a pic of the project I'm working on. It's a pattern from the Felt Wee Folk: Enchanting Projects book by Salley Mavor. It's super easy and lots of fun! I have almost everything done except the head and cloak.
Isn't it beautiful?
I'm anxious to see your fairy all done. I bought this book, too, and my friends all think I'm nuts. Haven't made anything from it , yet, though-maybe you'll inspire me!
I love it! I want one!!
That's adorable! I was looking at that book a few months ago... I even had a friend collect acorn caps from her yard for me.
She's beautiful! Please bring her to the next late night you come to.
Sounds like you had a fun-filled day on Sunday! We have a disappointing flea market at the Elks Lodge near my house. Where is Yesterday's Rose?
Oh no...you've now introduced me to a project that I now feel I must look into and even before doing that...I am dying to start my own little fairy!!! I love your little fairy - very nice work.
Congrats on your new job and have fun with all of the positive changes it will bring for you! I love that little fairy--it is so sweet looking. What a fabulous gift idea.
