Upcoming Events!

The CCC Festival at Highlands Hammock State Park was a great success!  We met many new friends and heard some great requests like Footbags (Hacky Sacks) and more in the fingerless mitts category!
All set and ready to go! 

I met this famous, hirsute fella, Smokey Bear!

Beautiful quilts, gemstone jewelry and she crochets! (plus many other crafts)
 
Jasmine's Dream Ranch & Rescue  has invited us to join them at Ag-Fest 2014 on November 22nd from 9am-4pm.  Admission is $2.  
Last year I met Jimmy Riffle of the Gator Boys at Ag-Fest!  And Scott...but I can't find the pic of him :(

After the Ag-Fest I will have a little over a week to get myself straightened out again and head back out for another event at the Turner Center, the Travelling Vietnam Memorial Wall will be here for 4 days from December 4th-7th.  This event is free to enter  and will be open 24hrs a day.  Starving Artist Crafters will be with me at this event.  I feel very honored to be able to take part in something so patriotic. (Husband and both parents are veterans)

I hope to see some of you at these events!

PS: I have heard the Gator Boys are back this year for Ag-Fest...but I haven't received confirmation yet ;)

Little Heroes

As I try to design a new pattern I may make a few different versions until I feel like I am on the right track.  Here is my current project in a few pictures.
This first version of a  'Little Hero' is similar to the monster amigurumi I have made in the past. The base is weighted with PVC pellets.
This is my second version of the 'Little Hero'.  This guy is based a bit on my Watermelon Southern Belles pattern.
 
 
So far I think I like the second 'Little Hero' best.  But I have one more trick up my sleeve ;)  My goal is to get a pattern made soon!  And then I will need pattern testers!
