Yes, Father...

(I realize this pic of my adorable niece is irrelevant to my post, but just lookit her in her Mermaid gear!)

I needed a little kick in the butt. Oh it's true... I've been snoozin on the blog. I didn't even finish posting about my big road trip. Lame. Heh, maybe later, I'm freakin busy!!

I got home from my 6 weeks on the road Aug 14, and 3 days later got sick with a cold. This was me being forced to rest I suppose. Down for a week, that left less than 2 weeks to prepare for Blues by the Bay over Labor Day weekend. Which rocked, by the way. I just love that show... so many friends and beers and tunes and sales. Super fun.

Of course, while preparing for the show, I was also making and sending out my wedding invitations. Did I mention I'm getting married in um... less than a month?! Heh.

Then, right after the blues thing I had to start preparing for North Country Fair, which is coming up this weekend.  While still doing wedding stuff. And trying not to freak out on my (now at home way too much) husband to be. 


So far, I think it's going pretty well...

NEW *Creative* Beer Can Hat Tutorials All *NEW* Beer Can Party Hat Tutorials are Actually COOL! Okay. Carry on.   I'm going to attempt to share with the world my pattern for the coveted Beer Can Hat. Some years ago I started making these and spread them around to many friends and unsuspecting acquaintances. I believe they originated during the 70s cheesy crafts era, which I completely adore. Many a birthday party have I attended bringing a 6 pack of beer, a skein of yarn, a couple compact tools... and a few hours later, left the host with a special party hat and gift made right before his drunken eyes. Now YOU can be that fascinating craft nerd, amazing your friends at parties. Or just drinking and crocheting at h...
