Oooooh, our BYU team is doing GREAT this year!!!
So great, in fact, that I was totally inspired to make this cute little fellow right here.
In case you aren’t from around these parts…
and don’t recognize…
this dude…
his name is COSMO!!
Go BYU!!
Go to my Gracious Rain Shop on Esty to find this and other awesome stuff!
My sweet granddaughter had a huge, stuffed Appa (From Avatar- The Last Airbender) on her birthday list. It was like a large pillow of the famous Flying Bison.
I could have gotten it for her, in fact, I almost did.
But then…
I found a pattern and I just couldn’t help myself.
I simply HAD to make it.
I honestly wasn’t sure if it would be a big mess…
or turn out…
incredible.
What I do know, is that it was one of the most fun projects that I’ve made in a long, long time.
Another thing I found out was that when you work really hard on something, for days and days, you run the risk of getting incredibly attatched to it.
Yeah, this one was hard to wrap up and put in the box.
Luckily, I love this girlie even more than furry little Appa.
Annnnnnd…
she ADORED him!!
That always helps.
Happy Birthday Kiddo. I love you.

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.
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.
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.Â
Neeeeeeeded.Â
Good Grammy’s never ignore their grandchildren’s needs.
Goes without saying.
PS– Love you Skylie!
