Craft fair news,and a Christmas tree

The craft fair last Saturday was a bit better than the one before it that we went to. My mom sold some of her jewelry,and some of her yarn dolls. One of my cousins sold some of her god's eyes again. I ended up selling two of my crocheted ornaments,and one of my Christmas treat bags. Our Christmas tree is half-way up now. Hopefully it will be lit tomorrow night. It will probably will take a while to put on the ornaments,though. Oh well,it's worth it once it is done. The Christmas garland and lights are up on the fence outside as well. Well,my crocheted blanket is coming along nicely. I have 19 of the squares crocheted together,and I have another one about half-way crocheted. Well,I think that is it,for now.

handspun yarn

I started spinning yarn again today. I just finished washing the yarn a few minutes ago. I spun one with merino wool in a light blue color,in a single ply. I over spun that yarn a little. I also spun a yarn out of a dark teal blue bamboo,plied with a sparkly,rainbow colored thread. That one I didn't spin too much,but I only spun about 2 1/2 yards of that one. I guess I'm using it as a trim on something. I do have more of the bamboo roving,and the thread,so I might make some more. I spun about 28 yards of the merino yarn. The house is mostly decorated for Thanksgiving now. My two crocheted turkeys I made last year are up now. My mom's Thanksgiving yarn octopi are up as well.

Craft Fair and other news

Well,the craft fair didn't go so well. My mom sold some of her jewelry,but I didn't sell anything. I guess it wasn't the right craft fair for us. One of my cousins sold quite a few of her god's eyes,though. My mom and I were thinking I should turn some of my toys into Christmas ornaments for the next craft fair. I made one for my mom to go with a Christmas yarn doll she made. I put a stocking cap and a scarf on it. If your wondering what crochet toys I made,they are just crocheted round plushies with a smile face on them. It was nice when three of my family members showed up at the craft fair,though. It made the day a little better. I still haven't gotten to finishing my mom's toy frog yet,but hopefully I will soon. I also need to figure out what to make for family members this year. I am thinking of making a new blanket. I'm just making 5 1/2 inches by 5 1/2 inches squares,and sewing them together. I have made three squares so far. It would be nice if I could post photos of some of the things my mom and I make,but I can't figure out how to upload photos onto our computer. Oh,well. I think that is it for now.

Well,I didn't get the frog plushie finished in time for my mom's birthday,but I will work on it a bit more at some point. I have to take a break from it for right now in order to finish the rest of the stuff for the craft show,because it is this weekend. I'm also making Christmas colored treat bags. I made some of these for a craft fair in September in Halloween colors,so my mom thought it would be a nice idea to make some in Christmas colors. My mom is busy making yarn octopuses for the craft fair. It is interesting to hear older Christmas movies from in the kitchen while she is making them. Well,I think that is it for now.

Well,I have been a little busy recently. I have recently strarted to crochet Christmas toys. I have most of one snowman done,and a part of another crocheted. I started knitting a frog the other night for my mom. I don't know if I will have it finished in time for her birthday,but we'll see. I might be able to crochet a frog in time for my mom's birthday,just in case I can't finish the other one. My mom and I have been getting ready for November craft shows recently. I have been crocheting small toys for them,and I have thirteen finished. I have mostly been experimenting with crocheting toys out of different kinds of yarn. I don't know if I will make anymore at this point. Well,I think that's everything for now.
