Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It's learning to look past life's imperfections

Its Not All Work At The Show

It's the last weekend of the show and things are winding down.
But its not all work. This kids "Fishing Booth is set up every year, and was always a big hit with our children. Isaiah has fished every year since he could hold a pole & this year was no different. Hes been patiently waiting allllll week.
A man with a mission....He's happy boy, still waiting....
I know they want it....
YES!! SCORE!!
In between rounds of straightening trailers I did accomplish some knitting.
I started a large pair of Sheepy Pants using one of my handdyed yarns "Wine & Roses," on Louet Riverstone. I've had this ready since this summer and have not had the opportunity to knit them up. I Love this yarn, It just sucks up the color and is super soft. I should have them completed tomorrow.
So whats on your needles?

Its Show Time! RV's & FO"S

One tired pregnant lady who would not miss a year! We nor the Dr. think she will make it through the weekend. She sure fooled us! (well, this is Sunday & the days just starting) SHE said Tuesday is a good day to have a baby.......guess we'll see!
Booth set up, well what you can see of it. I could not get a full shot but, here are a few

Isaiah, "Surfing" on the carpet, the last burst of energy before we took him home.

I Finally seamed the booties to match Moni's Elfin topper. Stash busting and a finished item! What could be better!

Friday evening,I started getting knitters A.D.D. again. Wading through the stash, looking through Ravelry at all the patterns. Every thing I wanted to make I would need to purchase a pattern.
And, another DUH! moment....use one of the 20 books you HAVE!! So I settled on Erika Knight's ~ Simple Knits For Cherished Babies, Classic Cashmere Booties. Super quick knit, had this pair completed in 2 hours. I used a washable worsted weight which put them off gauge but they will work wonderfully for 3-6 months.


Erika has decided on a coming home outfit for Baby Bumpette. Another Sweet Mama~Small Sugar Kimono Jacket For this one I am using GGH Tara in White & will add a Pink border. It's a bit pricey but, feels & knits like a DREAM! Perfect for a newborn.
I should have enough for a Hat and another pair of Classic Cashmere Booties.
We are heading back to the show this afternoon & I should finish it there. Have more pics tomorrow!
