Fayetteville Farmer’s Market first timer

farmers_market_yarnOriginally uploaded by mel5545 I’ve been a long time patron of the Fayetteville Farmer’s Market. It goes back to the 1980s when I would sit with my grandparents at the market on Saturday mornings while they sold veggies, wood crafts and honey. I almost ALWAYS got my face painted (thanks, Grandma, for the $$ to […]

In so many words

I’ve struggled with booth/fair set ups since my very first one almost 2 years ago. I don’t think I’ve ever done the same thing twice. The nice thing about most of the craft fairs around here is the booth size is at least 10’x10′ to accommodate the canopy/tent sizes. That gives you quite a bit […]

Makeover

I’m feeling the need for a makeover. No, no, not on my face or in my closet (however, Stacy and Clinton – if you are reading this, What Not to Wear can come to Fayetteville whisk me way whenever it wants to), but with one of my Etsy shops. Woolyhands is where my main focus […]

Ladies Night

Hey Everyone – your fave jewelry and fiber artist will be participating in a boutique… or should I say beaut-ique sale on Thursday, May 28 in Rogers, AR. I will be selling my goods along with a few other local artists and there will be some wine, non-alcoholic drinks, snacks, and massages as well. So […]

We Feast

*pats belly* I’m going to be completely honest with all of you tonight – I ate 4 chicken legs. Yes, 4. That means I’m far too full to even begin to think about something clever to type. In fact, I’m far to full to even feel like sitting up for too long. I’m not sure […]

I’m down…

But I’m not out. After a whirlwind trip to Minneapolis this past weekend to watch my fabulous brother graduate from Law School, I decided to get sick. Yup. It seemed like the most logical thing to do. Hey, I was already exhausted and far behind on life because I had been on the road for […]

A mystery

It is a mystery to me why three different varieties of hostas have appeared this spring in the spot where I only transplanted one last summer. Because hostas last well into the fall months, I’m not sure why these two were not growing in that spot before I planted the new one. However, there they […]

Project for a week’s end

I finally finished spinning that corespun I intruduced to all of you on Wednesday. I was a bit slow about spinning this week – but the outcome was worth it. Since the sun is long gone at this point, I’ll wait until tomorrow to get some killer photographs and post them for the world to […]

Unsure

I’m still unsure about the new look for my blog. Is it too much pink? Just enough pink? Fine the way it is? Erin, calm down, it’s just a blog? Don’t worry, I’ll leave it for a bit more to decide if I like it. I’ve found myself sitting behind my beading table a lot […]

A new spring dress

Well folks, I think you’re going to start seeing a new look around these parts. I’m ready for something new when I go check out my blog, new colors, new layout, new banner, just new. I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet, but I want to do something. It’s mediocre, at best, right […]
