I Am Back (For Real This Time"

After four and half months I finally once again have internet service at home.
So just what have I been doing this summer.  Well to begin with I have done a lot of knitting and crocheting.  I did two craft shows so far to sell some of the stuff I have made.  One was Christmas in July at Bob Jone High School parking lot in July (only thing I can say about that one was IT WAS HOT).  Then recently I did the Madison Street Festival at the Artist Cove.  It was lousy weather but that actually help my sales as I sold a lot of hats, scarves, and fingerless mitts.  I still have two more shows to get through.  One I have stuff on consignment and the other is the Kris Krigle Market at the Skate Insanity complex right before Thanksgiving so hopefully will do well.  I have only developed a couple of headband patterns and have not written them up yet.
My other creative adventures were to do dabbling in painting and to start a small garden plot at the apartment complex.  Luckily because my apartment complex is for elderly people they let us do what they call enrichment activities and gardening is one of these activities.  Several years ago a few of the local churches build some high raised beds (waist-high) and I am using one of them as well as some old recycled tires.  Right now I have cold weather crops planted.  Will change out the selection in February to other cold weather crops and then in April and May will change to warm weather crops.
All three activities keep my creative juices flowing and also are good stress relievers.
