We woke up this morning to a steady rain. Such a rare thing around here - we even had some thunder last night! Our yards will all be 3 shades of green darker tomorrow. Of course, right now it is sunny and 66 degrees, who would have thought? Unfortunately, it is supposed to rain more tonight, so the kid's fun school night at the amusement park was cancelled. Next week!
I have about $2000 worth of books sitting in my dining room right now, getting ready for the Parenting Conference this weekend. I am the official bookstore coordinator. I missed getting a picture of ALL of the books on my dining room table, that was a sight (no, I'm getting them all back out of their boxes!). I'm going up alone, since grandma will be here this weekend, so that means 3 uninterrupted knitting days (well, except for when I'm making a sale, and maybe listening to some sessions - but you can still knit through those!). I had to find a new project, this is too good an opportunity. The end of school is coming up, so that means another teacher bag! I went to my local yarn store and picked out some yummy stuff. Not *my* colors, of course, but the teacher's. I'm not sure what I will do with it, but I got a nice free pattern from the LYS of a bag with a ruffle at the top. VERY cute. Can I work in both colors, the ribbon yarn, AND a ruffle? We'll see.
Oh, and of course I'm taking along my felted balls to sell for my group. They turned out very cute - the only question is how much to charge for them? If I ask $5, will they all sell? If I ask $7, is that too much? I'm leaning towards $7. I saw them listed for $8 - $12 (similar size) on etsy, so I think $7 is resonable. They are about the right size to fit in an adult's palm, like jugglingballs, or the perfect size for an older baby to grab, gnaw on, etc. Oh, and they all have jingle bells in side them, so they have a dull ringing jangle to them. Don't they just look like yummy scoops of ice cream?

We're also selling "leftover" felted toddler hats, some soft baby hats knitted by Brooke, and some cute hair clips made by Janie.
And a blast from the past. Another Christmas 2002:

They do look like ice cream scoops - sherbet actually. LOL. They look great. I hope you sell them all and have a wonderful and relaxing time this weekend.
