After a "rest" (the hotel room was so hot! What's up with that?) and a continental breakfast with the group (Costumechick, Knelley, the Mad-knitter, Wife,Mom,Knitter, YankeeLagniappe and Backstageknits) we headed out to the festival. Still so giddy! It was such a beautiful day - perfect fall weather! Our first stop, which was a very smart… Continue reading The Rhinebeck Experience – Part 2
The Rhinebeck Experience – Part 1
Following the craft fair, theatreknitter and I dashed back to my house, emptied the car, quickly changed, then reloaded the car and began our trek up to Rhinebeck, NY for NY Sheep & Wool. We drove directly to the Ravelry party - as we pulled up to the elks lodge we were both about to… Continue reading The Rhinebeck Experience – Part 1
Fair Craft Fair
Well, it's done! Here's a shot (taken by PeacefulKnitter)We did it! I'm so proud of us, and thankful for friends like Sonia and Betsy - not only did Sonia sign up for this (and miss out on a cool trip to NY city!) but she stuck it out with me to the end! Her neck… Continue reading Fair Craft Fair
Craft Fair
I've been mentioning the upcoming craft fair in this blog for a while now. The time has come - the big event is tomorrow! It's sure to be a day to remember (especially with theatreknitter in town, and a trip to Rhinebeck for NY Sheep & Wool Saturday / Sunday!). If you're looking for something… Continue reading Craft Fair
Biting off more than I can chew
My Own AppleOriginally uploaded by nutmegknitterLorelai loved getting her own apple yesterday is an understatement. I have the photos of her screaming when I took it away to take a bite (gasp! and it was my apple to begin with. I thought, oh wouldn't it be a funny photo if she tries to bite the… Continue reading Biting off more than I can chew
Cold Work
What is up with this house? It's freezing inside. I don't know why. I'm not even sure where to start looking for drafts / leaks. Ugh. It was a rough weekend 'round these parts. Friends came in for the weekend - they bring their bassett hound as well, so the house is quite full. Jackson… Continue reading Cold Work
Me & my dog
Me & my dogOriginally uploaded by nutmegknitter10 months later, and Jackson is no longer completely freaked out by Lorelai "petting" him. I was going to use a different photo for the "10 month" post today, but I caught this quick with the iphone and it's just so sweet! So, dear Lorelai, here's where we're at:… Continue reading Me & my dog
The Saddest Little Acorn
Doesn't that sound like a children's book? I was inspired before all the rain started to make an acorn hat - figured it was a good seasonal hat, might be something different for the craft fair - so I stopped in at the Yarn Basket and picked up some wool / acrylic yarn in browns.… Continue reading The Saddest Little Acorn
Apple Season
One of the best things about New England is the fall season. It's so pretty here and we are lucky enough to be in prime apple country. My local orchard (Bishops) is wonderful - and last week I was able to pick up some of the first Macouns of the season. These are my favorite… Continue reading Apple Season
Fair Season
It's that time of year - you wake up and it's cooler outside, a little bit crisp in the air, and then by early afternoon everything is all warmed up! Enjoyable for sure - just right for the fair. It is a small fair (Durham is my favorite - more food choices!) but still fun.… Continue reading Fair Season
