I can’t wait to see everyone this weekend. I need a dirty soda, qt of beans, a new book and who knows what else. But definitely the soda and beans.

Yesterday, I worked on a few items that were not in my normal rotation. These are for a few auction baskets that will be at Dillon Farm Museum. More details coming soon.

We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.

We headed down to the Fantasy Festival in Madison VA today despite the rain. It was so cool seeing all the vendors and entertainers. I feel like we missed out on a lot because of the rain but I’m ok with it. I will definitely be back next year, hopefully as a vendor. I got a really cool eye keychain and a leather dragon that now lives on my cardigan.

Can we talk about my Diamond Cardigan? I finished it this morning. Haha. It’s very heavy and warm. I love it. Kels got me the pattern and yarn for my birthday last year and it’s taken me NINE months to get it done. I tell you, if I don’t have a reason to make something, it’ll take me forever. Smh…

The “I’ll finish it later” cardigan has officially become the “WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF” cardigan. 😂

My daughter got me this Diamond Cardigan pattern for my birthday last August, and after months of slowly working on it, I suddenly decided it absolutely HAS to be worn Saturday. So now I’ve entered full crochet panic mode.

Current setup:
🧶 yarn everywhere
📄 pattern pages taking over the couch
✂️ loose ends multiplying on their own
☕ surviving purely on determination and spite

If you need me, I’ll be buried in granny stitches pretending this was my plan all along. ✨

Day two of Bringing in the May was amazing. The organizers were amazing and made the event incredible. We got visited by a TURTLE! I’ve already got plans to attend next year and do even more.

I’m all set up for Bringing in the May this weekend.
