I was able to read my comments!!

Not sure how I did it...LOL

As for the magnets, I purchased them at JoAnn Fabrics.  I tried the magents from Walmart, not NEARLY strong enough.

Now for the question on the cow..".I have a question about the cow pattern (I love all of your patterns by the way.) I'm not sure how to do the nose... in the first row, do you turn back to do the two additional stitches and are you supposed to work them on the original chain or on the new stitches? I'm not very experienced with this stuff yet"

You turn your work upside down, and work on the underside of the origional chain.   The reason people use this method, is to get more of an oval shape, instead of a round shape by manking many single crochets into the 2nd chain from the hook, or in a magic ring..etc.

If that doesnt help clear it up, please let me know.. I will take some pictures to show you better what I mean.

This is so frustrating!!

I can see that I have comments...however, I can not read them!!  I have emailed Weebly  for help now....nothing back yet.

I will email again!!

So, I am sorry, I cant see the comments yet!

No more whining!

O.k... onto bigger and happier things!

I wont whine anymore about the craft show. :P

I have started typing out the patterns I am offering for the toy drive.   Here is a picture of the monkeys.  I love these little things.  They are soooo tiny!

I put magnets (strong ones) in their hands and feet. 

I am waiting on a call from the U, with info on the toy drive.

Once I get my info, and the patterns are typed up, I will start off the toy drive!

To say the craft show was a flop, is an understatement!!

It stunk!  I lost money being there.  It was $25.00 to have a 10x10 spot..... You guessed it, I didnt even make that money back.  So, I lost money.

Why didnt I sell more?

I honestly think the timing was bad.  Memorial weekend...tons of people are out of town.

2...it was advertised very well.  It was in a small town.  People came to the parade, then noticed a craft show.

It does make me feel  a bit better to know that most people didnt sell enough to make their enterance feel back.

How much did I make???  $18.16.  (LONG story about the $.16)

So, now I am going to finish up an order for 3 fairies, and list some of my animals on Etsy.

I am tossing around the idea of making a clown bear with balloons next.  We will see!

WOW!!

I honestly thought I had more for the craft show!

It doesnt look like enough to set out to me. hmm...

With only 2 days left though, it is going to have to do.  I honestly have only been working on items for the craft show for 5-6 weeks now.  I havent ever done one of these before.  Wish me luck!

Good Morning!

I am finally back to my page.

I have had a busy week, and it isnt showing signs of slowing! 

I have a craft show that I am participating in this Saturday.  I have been crocheting like a mad woman to get enough items done. 

I am also working on two patterns for the toy drive.  I hope to post a sneak peek at them later today on crochetville.
