Haven't posted in over a week..long time for me, but, really..not much to add to the general creativity going on here in bloggerland..
I am more or less trying to gear myself up to start making jewelry for Spring..and a bit to sell at my weekly (currently indoor) Farmer's Market, but made still another hat instead..well, needed a child-sized one to replace some I sold..
Do you ever get that maker's version of writer's block? Drives me nuts.. keep sitting around, thinking about what I should be doing, but all I end up doing is crocheting..maybe it's guilt-crochet, don't know..other times when I should be crocheting (the Fall) I am obsessed with making jewelry..wish I could control it..
Also, January doldrums are here, full force..I really need some good news, hysterically funny stories..something to wake me up..any suggestions?
(Keep it clean...)
My Guilt is Semi-Assuaged- Part 2...
Read the above, got disgusted with myself and decided to force myself to the jewelry table..
6 pairs of earrings later, here's a couple of the latest ones below...
Too much like work (;oD

Of Silver Linings and Unintended Consequences...
So, went off to my usual winter season indoor Farmers' and Crafters' Market as usual yesterday morning; I normally do okay there, but for some reason, nobody bought anything from me ..skunked...first time...but.. (there's always a but...)
For one thing, two women who were looking over my table asked me if I'd be interested in a very prestigious fibre arts show that was happening in October...absolutely, says I, it's got a waiting list of sellers, and people line up early to get at the best stuff as soon as they get through the door..I was feeling pretty good about that, and suddenly a woman with a big fancy camera came up and said she was from the local paper and would I please pose with my hats, as they were doing a feature on the Market? And she let me have approval of the shot!
About an hour later, a filming crew comes in from Rogers Cable (a local cable show) and started filming my table, and me, because I was actually crocheting at the time...
Yes all of this happened on the same day...no, I'm not making it up, not any of it...
So guess what? I got totally skunked yesterday, and it was one of my best days ever!
