| Working on this little embroidery |
Join the blog party here.
First, a huge apology that I didn't make it 'round to all my buddies last week. Hubby was so sick, and we were just trying to get him through opening night of Spamalot. Well, it all went well, and the show is amazing--I laughed so long and so much that my smile muscles hurt!
Sooo...since I've been busy and distracted, I've probably done more pinning on Pinterest to destress--thus the inspiration from my stitching board to embroider a quick little holder for my stork scissors. The plan is for it to hang on a ribbon so it's very handy.
Sometimes your Sewing PhD (Projects Half Done) are put on hold while you do a quick little thing to make yourself happy.

| Loved watching this lady at her spinning wheel. |
 |
| Another booth had yarn made from their own sheep. |
 |
| I wanted to take home this whole basket of yarn! About $500 worth right here! |
 | |
| I met some lovely lace makers--I adore these bobbins. |
 |
| Lots of stitched goods. |
 |
| This is where I got my little catch-all--I should have bought three! |

At first I thought I was commenting on a lady who had a doctorate in sewing and I got very nervous! Phd - Doctor of Philosophy, right? Phew, glad it means projects half done too! I'll remember that one! What an amazing craft fair! Spinning and lace making - I think I would have been in heaven. I love your little scissor case and those dear little stork scissors too!

I love walking around fairs there are so many kewl things to see and love that they aren't mass produced :) hugs Nikki 10
ReplyDeleteSandy first of all I want to grab a cup of tea and come hang out in your craft room. So much inspiration and the lighting in your photos are fantastic. I know I always say it but it's true. Second, I love the Phd (Projects Half Done). I have a lot of scrapbooks and card PhDs junking up my craft room.
ReplyDeleteI love the catch all bag. It's pretty and functional.
After seeing your craft fair photos, I want to jump in my car and find one.
Pinterest is awesome for procrastination but you don't have to feel too guilty because it is very inspirational.
You have a blessed day.

ReplyDeleteOh, I wish I could have gone to that market with you. I love watching people at work..I've never tried spinning but would love to have a go. And all that yarn and fabric...ooh, I'd have been sorely tempted.... All the colours were so pretty, I'd have bought loads!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that your husband got through Spamalot ok..it's a fab show!
Sending hugs your way :-)

Thanks for the lovely comment re Jacquie's workspace - she read my blog and the comments and was really touched by all the positivity. Thanks for sharing all the fabulous crafts with us. I loved all the handmade lace on your post above! x Jo
ReplyDeleteah lovely stuff, nothing like a real crafts fair. my eyes drawn immediately to the Mary Englebreit fabrics in the catch all section..she's my favourite designer by far!
ReplyDeleteThe fall fair looks like a lot of fun and full of wonderful stalls. The spun skeins of wool are so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, lots of lovey crafty goodies at the fair ... love the colourful skeins of wool in the basket. I have a catch-all too ... so useful for holding all the little bits of thread I trim off my patchwork :) Hope you have a wonderful weekend. Elizabeth x #55
