And a DC/VA craft fair In case you don't want to drive up to Baltimore! This is the second year the Craft Mutiny is selling at the Ballston Market, and we're looking forward to seeing who is there! Check out the great stuff! I should have a basket of yarn hanging out with Ilikeseamonsters and Magpie DC. Check them out if you're in the Ballston area this weekend!



My friend Debbie will also be having a rock'n'romp at the market, so bring the kids and rock out!  ¶ 06:29 0 comments

  crazy fun! as always, hanging out with the MDSW ladies was a blast. so much fun and laughing! and boobs, heh. I wish people didn't live so far away! I don't know where to start with the festival, so will put that off for another post. but - fun!

I came home after a weekend away to a husband away for the week, no toothpaste, and a broken coffeepot! :( So this morning I boiled water and used my old school french press. Mmmm. so good.

here's one of the babies of team rav:

Haha, and my baby sewing debut, or something. (i made that mei tai wrap from a pattern here)

  exhausted! My whole body is tired after digging in the garden yesterday morning! At least I am not physically sore -- that's something, right? I have 4 out of 6 or so beds mostly ready for planting, so it is coming along. My garlic is coming up, and the onions appear to be growing a bit. I can't find the spinach or marigolds, and I replanted a few cucumber seeds, just in case. I also am starting to mulch the beds with grass so they don't dry up so much! Kind of hard to mulch if the plants aren't visible though.. maybe I'll just buy some plants or something? hmmm. ;)

Happy news: I was accepted to Crafty Bastards Silver! This fair will focus more on up-and-coming crafters and craft workshops. It should be super fun (and is in my hometown!:) We're also planning something super cool for the craft mutiny... details to come!

But before that: Maryland Sheep and Wool!

And Squidfire Art Mart! May 10 in Baltimore, MD! I'm hoping to have some fun new yarn up my sleeve, if the stars align.  ¶ 06:33 2 comments

  mac help! Do you have a mac? What do you use for doing web editing stuff? Just html!

There must be something on my computer, right? Or something free to download?  ¶ 20:05 1 comments

  gardening some more I went out to my garden again yesterday, only alone this time, so I think I will be twice as sore! (Oh, I hope not!!) I never thought gardening was a workout, but wow - was totally getting dizzy, like I had just run real fast and stopped without cooling down! I will have to remember the gatorade next time!


Digging smaller plots in my main plot, and adding more top soil, braking up clay, etc.


Last week's work! This week I tried to plant cucumber, as well as some onion/garlic. It might be too cold yet for the cucumbers. We'll see!


Onions! The only thing visible so far... no idea if they are growing yet.


A whole lot of this yarn and fiber is going to Jolene for MDSW! Don't forget to check out the Cloverhill Yarn Booth!!  ¶ 07:20 1 comments

  owowow. did you know that when digging, you use the muscles in the back of your thighs? I don't know how that works, but man I can feel it two days later! I can hardly walk!  ¶ 21:16 2 comments
