Life has been extremely hectic lately so I took a weekend road trip with a good friend to Colorado as a welcome reprieve. Time to chat, laugh and listen to bluegrass music. Our plan to wander our way to Estes Park for a fiber festival.<br />
<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
There were breweries -- New Belgium, FCB and Odell to name a few. I do love beer in the Rockies...</div>

<span style="color: black;">Seeing a sample of a completed project at <a href="http://www.mrsolearysart.com/">Mrs. O'Leary's</a> stopped me in my tracks and I was thrilled when the owner told me a class was coming up soon. Today, I attended the class and it took about 7 hours for me to complete my own tiny glass house. It was a lot of work to construct but thoroughly enjoyable. I learned some new soldering techniques and was in total awe of her work room of many tools. I'm going to use it to hold my rosary.</span><br />

This is how we celebrate 25 years of marriage. We've had a lot of adventures over the years that has made our time together seem to go by quickly but we've never made it to Vegas. I've always wanted to see Hoover Dam. Check! Then a show in Vegas. Check! Poolside in Vegas. Check, Check!! He learned to play blackjack and I walked miles and miles in my flip flops during the cool morning hours when most were sleeping. We had a great time and will go back.</div>

There was music, Christmas lights and people of all ages skating in the holiday spirit. It was magical. And it was there that I saw a girl wearing a slouchy pom-pom hat that inspired me to make some of my own.<br />

December at the Flea is my most favorite and lucrative month for slinging my handknits for close to 9 busy hours. I see return customers, family and friends who stop by to shop for holiday gifts. I even have customers that buy the stuff right off of me that I'm modeling. As well as my made up mannequin with Miss Lanora's Miscellany holiday flair!</div>

My sister-in-law has a lake house in Shell Knob and we rented the cabin next door to them for the weekend. It had a killer view and after finding it's for sale I found myself fantasizing about retiring and moving into it after falling in love with the heated tile floors, refurbished wood skating floor throughout and refurbished wood bowling alley countertops.<br />
<br />
An eagle flew up the balcony as I sat drinking coffee this morning.<br />
<br />
I hiked along the water's edge and picked out some driftwood to bring home to make a souvenir rustic tree for my front porch back home.<br />

It's that time of year that my outdoor activities move indoors with more time to sit, knit and build my flea market inventory. This season will be more hats than usual as that's what I'm in to right now. I am making several different styles and enjoy proving to customers that they really <i>can<b></b></i> look good in just the right hat. There are also many headbands and fingerless mitts, too.</div>

I answered a request for a spinning artist to give demonstrations in Halstead, KS at their fall arts festival. I took all my (free on the side of the road) cotton and spinning supplies to showcase how a fiber can be hand processed, carded, spun and knitted into useful objects. Turns out it was a good excuse to spend a day at one of my favorite crafts.</div>

It seems like I wait patiently all year for this bluegrass festival. I get to enjoy the outdoors camping, great live entertainment and hang with a good friend. The temps were a little on the warm side and we had just one early morning light rain shower. That great friend made up wonderful meals and my favorite adult beverages, Margarona's. We swam in the river, rode our bicycles and spent each cool morning and night around a campfire...just plain good fun.<br />

I actually found this primitive handmade loom and tools many years ago in Taos, NM. It's been sitting in my craft room more or less as decoration. Just another hobby maybe someday I will have more time to devote to. In the meanwhile, I made up a couple small facecloths. One for myself and one to gift to a good friend who is wanting to get into weaving.</div>
