Where did summer go?

Just last week we had sweltering temps here in central NY. Yesterday we woke up to 55 degrees. My youngest daughter started her second year at community collgege and after labor day, the school busses will be back on the roads. My garden is starting to slow down and will soon be ready to prepare for next year and the days are starting to get shorter and shorter. Where did summer go?

Cold weather is coming soon and I have a brand new scarflette that I am most excited about that is called Waves. The one below is the first one that is available and is made in a beautiful tan and is so soft knit with a wool and acrylic blend.


I wrote the pattern out while making it and my tester is already making sure there are no mistakes. Once she is finished, this pattern will also be available in my shops, so stay tuned for that! And in the meantime, if you want to get your knitting needles clicking, check out these two knitting patterns. They are both quick and easy knits but with stunning results that will really impress your friends!



I find such comfort knitting on cold rainy days, so off I go to my knitting chair with a cup of coffee. Hoping you all have a great day!

Craft Fair Weekend

This was my second year participating in the DodgePratt Northrom Art and Community Craft Fair that is held in conjunction with the Woodsmen's Field Days. The show is 2 days on the lawn of a beautiful victorian building in the heart of down town Boonville NY.

Last year I was incredibly nervous as it was my very first show ever, but this year I felt prepared and worked hard to create an inviting booth filling it with color and interesting items. Hubby made me some great pieces to display my work and I may just try to talk him into making some more!

My daughters all pitched in to help me and we had a great time until Sunday afternoon when the skys opened up and poured on us. We enjoyed musicians, a parade on Saturday, great food and lovely weather - until Sunday of course!












I would love any comments you have to enhance the presentation, so please feel free to provide any suggestions for my next one!
