Busy, busy, busy .... and basically getting nothing done. Having a new puppy in the house is causing us to just run around in circles. She's into everything and rarely listens. Our other dog likes to hide from the little one just to get some peace. I'd forgotten how much work they really are at this age. I guess I wouldn't change a thing though. Little Ripley is so sweet and adorable most of the time. As the weather gets warmer and they spend more time outside, I'll find time to accomplish something.
My little knitting gig is over for now. There's a huge show coming up at the end of next week and I'm hopeful it all sells.
My husband has been busy as well and I am now the very proud owner of a lovely handmade, solid wood china cabinet. He did such a good job and it's perfect for my antique Spode china.
On the crafting front, I did manage to complete one Woolfin. I desperately need a bunch of these for summer sales as well as a ton or so of little birds. They sell extremely well. I also revamped the Woolfin Story and now have it printed on a brochure style pamphlet to go with each Woolfin. I'm already registered for Alderney Landing on Canada Day so I really need to get moving. Also, fast approaching, is shearing day at Rocaro Alpacas. That's going to be a full, exhausting day, but hopefully I'll have a bucketful of new knowledge about alpacas after that.
Happy Easter Everyone!
And so a new week begins. I'm nearly ready for Canada Day. Watching the long term weather report and hoping the rain is going to move off by then. In the meantime, we're in for a wet week. They're still calling for showers on Thursday morning, which will force the event to be inside. I was hoping we'd be outside, but that might have drawbacks as well, such as wind, in which case all my things would have to be pinned down to the table, and sunburn, which would be inevitable with my fair skin. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens. This is a photo of one of the new hair combs I have to offer. The flowers are really pretty, and I've already had gaping jaws of disbelief that they are really made of wool. They're very fun to make and I never really know how they'll turn out until I have them finished.
I enjoyed another nice gathering with friends on the weekend. We went for a boat ride, a swim, a great barbeque and a bonfire. It was really fun and the weather held up for us. Can't ask for more than that. Today I'm packing up items to sell on Canada Day at the Alderney Landing waterfront Boardwalk Artists event. I'll be there selling from 10 am until 6 pm if anyone is interested in coming. There will be lots of artists there talking about their work. I'm told there is a small cover charge to get in. I hope to see you there.
