Calipso & Twilight
Just 21 spaces left in the Rainy Day Yarn Club. Go here to sign up!
I’ve added an option to receive an additional 100 yards per skein per month for an additional $10. When you sign up, just be sure to add in your comments that you want the 450 yards and I’ll ‘bill’ you the additional $10.
I never been to a Ren Fair. Saturday we spend the day vending at one in Brookings Oregon. It was an absolutely beautiful day. 
The sun came out about 11 and it got very hot. In fact, I got sunburn on my shoulders and….gasp….my (ahem) cleavage. I purchased a pretty dress from a local clothing store because I didn’t have anything Ren Fair like. It is Rayon (my most favorite fabric!), long, redish with a plunging neck line to give you that ‘uplift’ you see in Juliet type clothing. The good news is this costume was much cooler to wear than the 1900’s because of many less layers. The bad news, as I said above, was I got burned.
It was a beautiful day in Azalea park, not many people came but the music was fun to listen to and the fighting from the SCE people was interesting. We didn’t sell a blasted thing but I still came away with a positive reaction. It gave us exposure (no, not my continental shelf poking out of the neckline!) to a new group of customers and hopefully this will result in sales at events during the holidays.
We also did alot of demo-ing. Linda on the Wheels and me on the sock machine and drop spindle. Basically a good time had by all!
Notice how I always have control of the camera? I’m no fool!
Additions
Now that the baby birds have literally flown the coup, I’ve felt compelled to keep the universe in balance by adding two additional members to our family.
Calipso (Meeting Shasta for the first time….Shasta thinks she is a cat and cannot understand why the cats don’t want to play)
Twilight is much smaller than her sister and has adopted Brad’s tummy to lay on…
We visited the cat house, a store that pays for spaying and neutering cats, and wanted to adopt her. I love calico cats, they have so much personality and I was in the ‘market’ for a house cat. But when I went to pick her up they asked is I would also take her much smaller sister. Well….I could not say no so we had adopted Calipso and are fostering Twilight but I bet they both will become permanent members of the family.
Two things I’ve learned this fine Sunday morning are little kitty paws can type on my lap top and they love to chase the curser as it moves over the screen.
