Lighting The World

009

My Daney-boy and his sweetheart Kortney came all the way from Idaho to man a booth at Summerfest.

019

The company he works for is called Niki-Nu Lites.

016

Perhaps you’ve heard me brag talk about them before.

015

See they make these beautiful, incredible lights, in all kinds of colors…

020

and all kinds of shapes.

014

Some even have logos…

011

very IMPORTANT logos.

013

These lights are so much fun to put together–easier than I thought too.

012

Of course, people can also buy them already put together…either way.

045

The booth attracts a lot of attention during the day, because the lights are so unique.

018

But the minute the sun starts to dip in the west…

017

these lights simply glow.

022

People actually gather around just to stare at them and try to figure out what they’re made of…

023

and how they’re put together.

040

And of course, my cute boy is right there to show them. Looks like he’s a little light-headed at the moment. HAaahaha.

I crack myself up!

017

If you happen to be in Provo this week for the 4th of July–please come visit my boy in his Niki-Nu Lites booth at the Freedom Festival.

 010

We’ll all be there to help and cheer and clap…and stare.

008

Hope to see you there!

Stained Glass Crochet

096

I’ve found the perfect late-night-in-front-of-the-tv-type project. You know, the soothing kind that keeps the hands busy-busy while the mind just starts shutting down for the evening.

013

This is the afghan project that my dear Daney boy and his Kortney chose many months ago. With them not quite so close anymore, I figure, now’s the time.

004

It’s called the “Stained Glass” afghan from Annie’s Attic and oh, myyyy is it ever fun. Some nights, I can barely put it down.

097

The whole design of the motif changes with every round, which of course spurs me on to finish each of the twelve, if for no other reason than to see what it’s going to look like next.

098

I’ll keep taking pictures of the progress though because this fun thing might just be hard to give away in the end…

that is…

if those two weren’t so dang cute.
