War Eagle Craft Fair

The actual War Eagle Mill, the epicenter and about 1/25th of the total craft fair.

This past weekend was the famous War Eagle Craft Fair near where I live. The nutshell version is this short news clip from a local channel:

Since I am poor and need to start paying off my student loans one of these days, I didn't spend much. I got two knitted wool scarves and a big bag of "rescued jewelry" that a vendor was selling. Here's the content of that bag:

Bit of things, pretty things, assorted items that aren't too pretty as are but have a lot of potential, flat out ugly things, useless junk, amazing things, etc!

I see so many future projects laying there on my blanket, and since today and tomorrow are fall break I can work on some of my ideas.

Also, since crochet takes awhile and I'm crocheting most of my Christmas gifts this year (I get to make a baby hat with ears, finally!), I'm going to be talking a lot about crochet this fall. I already have three projects done that need photos to be taken of them, and am about halfway through a fourth! With three more projects lined up when I finish the current one, I have something to do all autumn long. So there will be photos of all that eventually.

Have a great fall, and see you again soon!

Things I want to make:

1. This crochet headband thing. Spoiler- the only reason this is on the list is because I haven't quiiiite finished crocheting it yet. Guess what the next blog will be about? (yep, another Maybe Matilda piece!)

2. Make more quilts/get better at it! You may recall that my very first real blog post was about a quilt I had just finished. I like that quilt and I want to make more. Bigger! Better! Stronger! Faster!

3. One of those crochet hook organizer things. I definitely have enough scrap fabric to whip one up now, but what I lack is the time or attention span. Perhaps over the summer.

4. Exciting jewelry. One of my friends knows the secret, but I like the idea of designing my own stuff to go with my outfits.

4. Renovate a piece of furniture a la 'Cupcakes and Cashmere'. I am so in love with her decorating skills!

I'm not saying to expect to see any of this, but I'm still banned from non-necessary walking and will soon be an unemployed college graduate living with their parents and having nothing to do. Plus, potential future cameos by my little brother (who's six inches taller than me). I know the chair thing at least would interest him.
