I'm still here
I'm still here.
I was going back through my photos and trying to figure out the best way to start back.
So, I'm starting from today and going back...
I finally made some more English Muffins!
Yay for me!!
They have been on my list for probably over a year.
Check!
I did lots of yummy Holiday baking
I finished some arm warmer for an order I had received from a
sweet girl I met at the Hemlock festival.
She wanted them made for her and her best friend.
I love the way these turned out. I knitted an extra stripe of light blue to each of the arms for an extra touch of friendship.
We've had sweet playdates with homemade snacks and tattoos.
Oscar decided he wanted to be a tattoo artist. He set up shop complete with a 50's phone, a jar of plant based markers, probably from A Small Green FootPrint, a sign and of course his own work done all over his body, face included. He's moved on from this and wants to start working with henna.
I was a little behind with the advant calendar this year. It was more of a morning, "oh no, I forgot to add to the calendar." and promised to get one in before classes ended that day.
I hope to be more organized next year, I mean, how hard is it to put a message in the calendar for a month...really?!
We had a really fun time with all the families for Holidays.
Oscar set out to be the Gift Elf this year
Some of the cousins here...so cute!
I bit off more than I could chew this year with all the local Holiday Markets.
I worked and worked and worked, with help from family until after all the
markets were finished, right before Christmas I got sick.
My body was done.
But, I produced some really beautiful candles and lots of soaps!
Well, I think I have done some damage tonight.
I will return with more updates.

Support
This time of year is filled with many Holiday Markets.
Too many for me to keep up with!
Yet, I make it.
My set up is a bit more involved than the regular vendor.
It's more like my living room picked up and dropped off at market location.
I sling, feed, nurse, nap and play in this area from the time market starts to its ending.
(Luckily for us, this market we were placed in a sunny spot.)
An outside market with freezing temps is not any fun, especially with baby!
As much work as it is to get prepared for, organized, to get set up and sit outdoors all day,
I continue to be inspired and deeply honored to be involved in such talent.
And I thank those responsible for getting the markets put together.
And I thank those responsible for getting the markets put together.
I feel blessed to be engulfed in such a wonderful community full of talent, wisdom and beauty!
So, to that I say
Shop and Buy Local this Holiday Season
Support your Local Community and Artist!
Feeling Blessed...

After the Storm
A couple months ago I
signed up for a 3 day Festival.
signed up for a 3 day Festival.
As much as I was thinking
??What?? I signed up for a 3 day festival!?
I meet and hung out with some of the most incredible, sweet, lovely people and had such a great time!
All the while, my sweet kids were being cared for by my lovely wonderful helpful family.
So, upon returning home all I wanted to do was to hang out with my boys.
So, after a brief morning meeting on Monday morning with my kiddos, we decided to go outdoors and
do nothing.
And that's exactly what we did.
Well, we went to the park, hung out in the grass and played frisbee.
Oscar was doing some serious entertaining!
Man, I love these kids!!
Bring it on Holiday Markets!
Happy weekend to you

On a Search
On a search for some leggings.
Now that the weather has turned cooler, stockings/leggings/tights is what I wear.
Not only a way to stay warm, but also to wear some of the summer skirts that you would have normally worn with nothing underneath.
So, my findings:
Love these here
and here
Wonderful knitted ones here
If these were made in my size, they would totally be mine!
My research concludes that Sock Dreams has the best selection.
Whatcha looking for?
Polka Dots? Rainbows? Plus Sizes? Striped? Alpaca? Cable Knit? Bamboo?
Anything sock related is just a click away!
I could really do some damage to my 1800's wooden dresser AND my wallet!
Any combination of these will surely treat me right; Peacock, Algee, Space Grapes, really any of these!
If any of these are sent my way, I'll make sure you hear about it!
Sleep Tight friends
and
sweet socks!
