Wyandotte Street Fair
The Wyandotte street fair was over the weekend. It was a four day event that had the best weather.
We set up the day before the event started so we would not have to rush so early in the morning. We had plenty of lemonade to stay hydrated and we were across one of the nicest stores that had air conditioning and a juice bar.
Everyone love the new pieces including these fingerless mittens, caplets, & hobbit hats.
the oldies were a hit as well. :{D
Ciao!
My Heart
Today I received a package that I just adore. I received from a friend across a few states. She knitted me a heart, with the stitches and all how fantastic is this. I have been recovering day by day. With lots of love and texts to and from my good close friends, colleen, sarah, rachel, and a handful of others.
I hope to be a better friend this year, a better person in general. I will keep this heart pillow close to my heart to remind me every day of what amazing people I have in my life.
p.s. and how cool is it to have a knitted human heart! <3
Bearded Masks
In my adventures in crocheting I have crochet a mustache stick and brooch. I have tried to crochet a beard and fu-man-chu on a stick and it failed miserably. During my recovery from my open heart surgery I have not been able to really crochet, crochet. So I decided to give the beard a go one more time.
I have to say I can not read a pattern to save my life, however I do write them in my own gibberish. This is not a original concept by any means but I look pretty handsome. <3 xoxo
Hobbit Hats
Over the past few years I have had plenty of peeps ask me do you have any hats. I have time and time again have said no. I have tried, so hard, to make hats that are fun to make and worth selling. I looked long and hard and found a style I loved in knits only. A few years ago I was at a craft show and met some ladies who were selling knit hats and hand died yarns. The hats they were selling were baby pixie hats and I fell in love with them. Being a kid at heart I found that I can never find fun winter hats for myself. I would love an adult version of a baby pixie. And after lots of trial and error I was able to redesign a Hat for young adults or young at heart.
These hats have straps on either end and have a slight point to them giving a slight point in the back. They are 100% acrylic, and fantastic for peeps with sensitive skin or vegan friendly peeps. These are posted at MittenMade.etsy.com and come in a variety of colors.

The Mitten Made Tees as well
The Whip Stitch Art Fair
We arrived at the Corner brewery around noon. My good friend Miss Lindsay was nice enough to join me and be my buddy. She loaded in and loaded out so I did not have to lift anything.
We quickly loaded and were able to take our time putting together the display. I quickly realized after setting up that I still need to re-think my display. Overall the show was good.
I premiered a few new items. Fingerless Mittens, Hobbit Hats, Cottage Caplets, Victorian Caplets, Headbands and Motif wall hangings.
This year one of my goals is to educate peeps on the advantages of wool. This fiber is totally misunderstood.

Hairpin Lace
Guess what I am making? If you guessed the item from the photo you my friends are fantastic peeps!
I love this shrug and have been working two days on it. It is beautiful and elegant. I am using a robins a robins egg blue for my first attempt though this white is amazing, it even looks likes it’s glowing. I am hoping to have some of these available for purchase this year. each piece of lace is 140 loops. then each two sided strip is crochet together. Simple and gorgeous. Loves <3
