A Crafty Fall















This fall has been quite crafty, I must say. To kick start the end of summer. My friend Marcie and I dyed some yarn. We went the kool-aid route and the yarn came out beautifully. Now I Just need to make Winston a sweater... ya right! okay some soakers for his cloth diapers. I am not a big project knitter, I like my projects small in hopes that I can finish them! I hope to make some hats and soakers out of this beautiful hand dyed wool yarn!

I have been making hats the whole month of September, I want to get my shop on etsy set up. Yes I know, I keep saying that... but after this craft show and our trip to W.V. I hope I can sit down and get a few hours of on line time to get it going! Here is one of my hats worn by Winston.

Here is my set up from the craft show! I think it turned out nice, I got a lot of complements on my hats! and a few bites... The lip balm was also a big seller! Last weekend we also made a batch of hand made fig soap! We stirred if for almost 3 hours before we could pour! Now we wait! I am excited to try our first batch! I know it is going to be wonderful!
