So many hats to make

Well, it's crunch time for me. I have 8 weeks before I open my first booth to sell my hats. And, the first time Tanny's Toppers will be utilized. Pretty excited, but so much to do! I have two new hats that I've created for the booth. Angry Birds and Owls. Better get offline and get crocheting. I'm going to start on the pig from Angry Birds next.

Vacation is almost over

So, I just got back on Saturday from a week long trip to Charleston, IL to see my brother & sister-in-law. We had a wonderful relaxing week. Leigh & I watched 2 Harry Potter movies a day while I knit up blankets on the knitting machine for her for baby blankets. She added borders & stitched the squares together. On Thursday night, we went to the theater & watched Harry Potter 7.1 and then the midnight premier of 7.2. I thought it was an excellent movie. I felt very satisfied at the ending & felt as though they did a great job of concluding the past 10 years of everyone's lives through the plot. On Friday I started a cupcake hat for my friend Becca's daughter Olivia who was having her 1st birthday party on Saturday. It turned out really cute.










Saturday I drove back home & dropped off the birthday cake for Olivia that Leigh, my sister-in-law made for her. Ended up going to the birthday party & playing dominoes with everyone. Had a great time. Sunday was church, switching back my car with my bro-in-law, then not doing much of anything. It was pretty nice. Monday I signed up for an Etsy store. I'm not putting anything in it until just before the school carnival I'm making hats & earwarmers for. That way I can pass out business cards for people who want to check out my stuff. Hopefully it turns out well. I really need to spend my last day off straitening up the apartment. my suitcase from last week is still in the living room! Lol, I obviously need to get laundry done, but need to get cash for that, so it will have to wait until tomorrow.

Tired

I'm so tired of having migraines. It really makes it hard to knit, crochet, or read. However, I'm working on a cupcake hat that needs to be finished by next Sunday so I got some of that done. It is, however, getting near time for me to turn in for the evening since tomorrow is the 4th of July, my favorite holiday. I just downloaded 3 books to the Kindle, so I'm going to read for a little bit before bed, but I better take Maddy out for her walk before she gets a little too antsy. Hopefully tomorrow won't include headaches.
