Jillian and Rhen came to help me set up which made all this possible.

Here we go!!!

It turned out to be a lovely day.

This really could be my kind of thing.

Dry Run

It wasn’t until I set up my booth right in my own front room, that I started to calm down. I realized that I had plenty of items and would be just fiiiiine.

See what you think…

Tomorrow’s the day!

I think I’m ready….

Deep breath. Deep breath.

An Otter For Skylie

While I was gone, I had and enormous amount of certainty that I would spend all my waking hours crocheting my guts out…for the Farmer’s Market.

Vacation or no vacation, I told myself, it had to be done. I have a booth to run. It was the only responsible thing to do!

Trouble is that I’m apparently an immediate gratification sort of chick, and there were these really adorable kids that desperately needed what I was making.

Needed. 

Neeeeeeeded. 

Good Grammy’s never ignore their grandchildren’s needs.

Goes without saying.

 

 

PS– Love you Skylie!

Squishies

 

I seriously have mixed feelings about all these…things. I made them because I wanted to have some things at the Farmer’s Market that would appeal to boys.

Still, some of them are so gross they make me kinda sick. Haha. This Zombie for instance. Blaugh.

The bubbling cauldron is ok.

It just sits calmly until you squish it and then it bubbles over!

Frankie blows bubbles….

like the candy corn.

Kinda cute and kinda nasty.

Haven’t decided which yet.

As long as the kids like them, it’s a win…right?

Yak. Haha.

Slightly Grumpy Kitties

These cuties are called “Loaf Cats” probably because they resemble a short squatty loaf of bread…or a sausage.

My problem with these guys is that they don’t look particularly…you know… happy. So, I thought, that’s easily remedied.

One needle and a bit of thread later…

Problem now is that they don’t look right somehow. Cute and happier, sure, but still…um…

wrong.

Luckily, that, is also easily remedied.

Yeah, I took the smiles all off. Sounds weird, but I suppose there are some creatures that look better with a straight face.

Don’t quote me.
