Crafty #6!
Sunday's Fifth Anniversary of Crafty Bastards rocked, as usual! Somehow they managed to pack even more awesome into the space! More vendors, more activities, more food! Such a good day, even with the rain that kept passing through!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by! There were so many people that had made stuff using my yarn, and that always makes me so happy! :)
Thanks also to people that helped out with the Craft Mutiny crochet/knitting demos - Lucy and Candace! You totally rock - hope you had fun too!!

So somewhere in the midst of the crazy, I've been preparing for Crafty Bastards! HAha - in my free time! ;) I have such an insane amount of wool in my living room right now. Yarn and fiber and soft soft soft! Even new colors! I will be sad to let it go!

yarn - superwash merino, falklands, merino nyln, merino bamboo, merino cashmere(!) nylon
Fiber - merino, superwash wool, merino-silk (oooh lala, so dreamy!), bfl, corriedale!
Man, I'm so excited!! See you on Sunday!!

wow.
I think Tina sums it up perfectly in these two posts. Just like I thought John Edwards should have been home with his sick wife, this lady should clearly be home taking care of her family. wth, john mccain!?

fo's of another sort (yep, more)
I really think the tomatoes are half dead - they are turning brownish and getting crackly leaves. And yet.. still there are tomato flowers, green tomatoes, yellow and red tomatoes. They won't give up! But they are lovely. We've had tomato salad (hit!), salsa (hit!), tomato sauce (miss, then redeemed with some more cooking + meat), and just plain tomatoes.
I want to try tomato and bean salad, and greek stuffed tomatoes. And figure out how to make some yummy tomato sauce to freeze for later!
When I was growing up, we always had green beans. Fresh in summer, frozen in winter! I really don't know how my dad kept up with it... so much work to wash and cut and blanch them! I prefer tossing them whole into whatever dish I am cooking, or sauteeing in onion/garlic goodness. But hopefully we can enjoy these when it's cold out!
A couple weekends ago we went to the Montgomery County Fair. I had so much cotton candy I almost had a bellyache! We hit up the usual animal barns and finally shelled out some money to see the demolition derby!
So many hurty cars! :)
Dear little bunny: I love you! Come home with me?
Fuzzmouth!
There were a number of bunnies up for judging, and loads of them were disqualified due to does being labeled bucks, and vice versa! Um? What's wrong with the kids these days that they can't tell who has what? Aiaiai. Still. WANT. BUNNY.
