i was supposed to run out today for a new water filter (we're down to dribbles with the one that's hooked up to the faucet right now), but korrina texted that she was on her way over and i didn't want to miss her, so i stayed home.
her yarn swap package was waiting for her and i got to see the goodies when she opened it.
inside were wonderful local items from the somerville, massachusetts area: coffee, a local artist's book, tea, yarn and a handmade project bag (and ribbon!).
because of her move, she's a little behind on her swap project . . a lovely soft shawlette made from stash yarn.
lunch with korrina: leftover soup and sandwiches with homemade sour dough bread.
in the afternoon with had another craft fair for the ladies who put it together . . because we never have time to do each other's crafts during the fair!
it's nice that some of the young people still like to join us (several of our young adults are missing . . )
janet already has her craft picked out for next year: folded christmas trees that you snip and open up.
ta da!
my favorite craft: print making gift tags.
r2 d2!
snowflakes and stars . .
which ones did i make? i see that i didn't take a picture . . i'll have to fix that in the next few days and post one.
everyone focused on making trees . . except me . .
i was too intent on the tags . . but here's another tree . . they are really pretty.
r2 d2 received a red holiday hat!
more peg dolls were made.
oh! and i texted korrina that my friend found a christmas tree on the corner of 14th street and first avenue for $30 . . i think that's where she and brian went . .
and then they took it home on the subway!
and set it up at home. it's so festive and beautiful.
Those paper trees look great, I have seen them before, I have to find the link. What did you use to make the tags with? Was it a rubber stamp? Korrina is a very talented knitter. Need to go to bed now, just picked out what Christmas cookies to make.
