We did it! Not bad for a weeks worth of worth! Especially considering this was all weekend work and after the day job.
Now on to sewing and packaging!

Whelp I succumbed to the siren call of the afternoon couch nap so I didn't get much reading or knitting done on my afternoon break.
But I did have a lovely nap and Finn snuggled and napped with me the whole time so it was still good

Making good time on the 100+ bags of felt that needs assembly before our event next weekend. Got about 20-30 more to go in the next 7 days.
That feels doable so I'm taking a little knitting & reading break as a treat before I get back to it. I've missed my yarn 🧶

Popping in real quick to post for day 1 of #ArtAdventCalendar with a portrait of a flamingo. Made of layered felt with a printed cotton fabric background 🪶
I'll have to catch up on all the posts from today later after I catch up on show prep
It's that time of year! Busy, busy, busy!

What do you call a group of Beholders?
Spent all of last night after work cutting all the pieces for a wholesale order for or naments. Hoping to get the backs and fronts assembled tonight.
And then I can spend my down time at the art fair this week sewing them all 🧵

Very glad to not be outside in this today!
It was absolutely pouring when we would have been arriving at the park this morning to set up our booth. And it hasn't let up! Very grateful the event was rescheduled!

Before I decided to tear the garage apart I did remember to get this WIP from this week's #showmeyourknits blocking early enough in the day so it can dry by dark. Spent a good chuck of yesterday on the bind off 🧶

Took a break from knitting to work on finishing up listings for a few new animal frames.
We frame these at events so the frames can stay protected from the elements. Plus they take up less display space when we don't try to display them all framed.

Been slacking on the #showmeyourknits prompts but I can always jump in on WIP week! 🧶
1: A 1/3 way done on the bind off for my 2nd Akka top
2. Heavy Metal shawl. This has such a fun squishy texture!
3. Cast on Begonia Swirl for travel but couldn't take my needles. Debating if i should continue it

Finished packaging up our iron on felt patches this week, just in time for @jackalopeartfair.bsky.social next weekend in Pasadena.
Working on getting our sold out items back in time for the holidays & shows but it's slow going when you handmake everything😂

Time to accept I'm not finishing this shawl tonight🧶 It's a 11:30 and I've got about 900 stitches left to bind off. I always forget just how long a shawl bind off takes 😂

Spent a ludicrous amount of time trying to untangle this 4 strand yarn barf because I didn't want to switch to a slightly different yarn with 4 rows to go. Good news is this bad boy is 1/4 of the size it was 🧶
Bad news...remembered after days of untangling I have an entire cake of this black yarn 😭

Some coffee and snuggle time with Finn before I finish setting up for the annual Halloween pizza party!
Normally it's the weekend before Halloween, but Nov 1st is close enough! And the date worked better for more people, including me. The week after a trip is too soon for a party!

I've only got 9 rows to knit and the bind off left on this project which means it's the only thing I want to work on 🧶
But I really should start work on how to decorate our booth for our December event. They want everyone to go all out on the holiday decorating and I think I have a fun idea!

Trying to do a little fall show prep every day and today I finally remembered to check our show box of paper toys to see which ones I need to restock. I usually get to the show and go 'oh crap!'
Never tell yourself you'll remember to do something after you get home from and art faire 😂

Uh oh! My coffee cup has run empty but I'm stuck in a Caturday trap!
Finn had been super cuddly since I've returned from my trip. At first I thought he missed having access to the couch I like to sit on in the mornings but he keeps choosing to sit as close as possible to me, not just on the couch.
