..and how MUCH *can* I SQUEEZE into The NEW CAR..?

OR, CRAM ONTO A *SINGLE* 6-FOOT TABLE!!?

WHATEVER, IT takes about a half Hour to LOAD the First Time and a FULL One to set-up "SHOP"! -- And, as usual, I was FIRST One THERE and *LAST* One OUT!

However, that little FOLDING-FLAT-BED-DOLLY that I'd bought Earlier in the Year, has more than PAID for ITSELF! - Originally, I had thought that I would likely have to make at least THREE-Trips to and from The-NEW-CAR..? - BUT, I actually managed to get IT down to just TWO!! - yay!

ANYHOO, I'm pretty much *WASTED* right Now! - Especially, after having to also PUT OUT the TRASH!

Sooo... HERE are some TABLE PICS to gawk at WHILE I "RECOVER"! -- SEE *if* You can SPOT the NEWER THINGS that I have **YET** to "POST"! - There are MANY!

whatever... MORE "DETAILS", Tomorrow...

 

And, THESE were the *ONLY* ITEMS that I SOLD!!
- All in literally the *LAST* 15-Minutes!!

*ONLY* FIVE of These CHESTS will "FIT" into The-NEW-CAR!
argh!
And, with *enough* EFFORT, Those Hanging BLANKETS
*will* SQUEEZE into Those TWO CHESTS!!

BTW, Checkout Them PUMPKINS *hard* at Work!!
And, not a single Complaint!

- [Of course, the fact that They don't have "FACES" could be the Reason "why"..?]

MOA SCARVES and TOQUES!
Just WAITING to be "ADOPTED"!

****************************************************************

hmm... Perhaps NOW, I'll get *more* "CANADIAN" Hits..?!

I'VE JUST BEEN "HIGHLIGHTED" ON THAT

NEXT CRAFT SHOW'S FACEBOOK SITE...

https://www.facebook.com/ArtisanAFairUneFoire/posts/1600640536854233

So, IF I "POST" These PICS "SOMEWHERE", do You THINK that *CUSTOMERS* will get the "NOT-so-Subtle-HINT" and *heed* IT..?

"PALETTE" 

"LOW-TIDE"

[Except for the TOQUES, all Props and Photo-Location were courtesy of MICHAEL'S]

********************************************************************

BTW, I've yet to fully Photograph These TOQUES and POST THEM!

"WHEN" I do, I'll attach a LINK to THEM.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Switching the "CREATIVE"-GEARS again...

I'M FLIPPING OVER THE "TOQUE" PRODUCTION TO "FLOPPIES" THIS WEEK...

I've got a FEW BALLS of "COLORWUL" just screaming to be USED!

******************************************************************

oh. Just call Me *CRAZY*!

I'M STILL KNITTING IN 41C HUMIDEX TEMPS!

And, no sooner had I Finished ONE HAT, I had ANOTHER on THE STICKS!

At "FIRST SIGHT", These TWO COLOUR-COMBOS appear to be a rather *unlikely* "MATCH-UP"...

HOWEVER, once ENTWINED... THEY actually don't Look so badly!

IT reminds Me of a Piece of MULTI-LAYERED-PAINTED WOOD that has been WEATHERED and SANDED away...

******************************************************************

ah. ANOTHER Way to *Prevent* SPENDING...

SLEEP-"IN" *REALLY* LATE SO THAT IT'S NOT WORTH THE EFFORT TO GO "OUT"!!

BTW though, in My "Defence",
I didn't *GET* to BED until 7am!!

 

AFTER Finishing "HANAUMA-BAY"

- [SEE YESTERDAY's POST - *WHEN* IT gets "POSTED"!] -

I sorta got *side-tracked* with some CYBER-STUFF...

 

And then, was TOO "AWAKE"!

So, of course, I just HAD TO Start-Up on

ANOTHER HAT!!

**************************************************************

yes. THIS is *WOOL*. And, yes, IT's +30C out!

BUT, THESE COLOURS *ARE* "COOL"-ING, NO..?

BESIDES, My EYES were needing a CHANGE from the Recent GREYs, BROWNs, and REDs of Late!

******************************************************************

hmm... IT's all rather SUSPICIOUS "TIMING" in My Opinion!

"FATHER'S DAY" FALLING ON THE *LONGEST* DAY OF THE YEAR..??

I dunno know...

Seems an awful LOT like a GLOBAL MENS'-"SPORTING"-GOODS-TV-VIEWING-INDUSTRY *CONSPIRACY* to Me!?! -- [just saying...]

whatever...

MEANWHILE, I actually managed to get My BRAIN around to doing some MUCH needed BLOOG-Work Today! -- At least ONE *old* "POST" any way. And, some PRE-Posting PIC tweaking... - My EYEBALLS kept going whacky doing THAT for too long!

So of course, I had to switch over to *YARN*!

yep. Got ANOTHER HAT on THE STICKS!

***************************************************************

wow. Haven't I just been the *PRODUCTIVE* PRINCESS-PROCRASTINATOR Today!

~~*SHOCK!!*~~

"SCARY", eh?! - For some REASON I actually got around to FINISHING a Couple of Bits of "IMPORTANT"-PAPERWORK!! -- AND, dragged My Tush down the Street to the MAIL-BOX to **POST** THEM!!

NOW, if *only* I could just get My MIND wrapped around getting *around* to WRAPPING a FEW "certain" PARCELS..??

MEANWHILE though, I was over-whelmed with a HANKering to Start on THIS...

*********************************************************************

Time to SWITCH over to THE NEEDLES...

GONNA GIVE THE HOOKS A BRIEF REST...

******************************************************************

I'm still *MISSING* several Days of POSTS, but I wanted to get
THIS ONE *OUT*! - The REST will filter in, *EVENTUALLY*!
-- MEANWHILE, I *have* been hard at work Making MORE *STUFF*
- [Check out My PINTEREST Boards for the odd "PRE-Views"!] -
between *REAL LIFE*!!

__________________________________________________________________

Honest! - I REALLY *was* going to SHOVEL!

HOWEVER, SINCE IT DIDN'T *START* SNOWING UNTIL "LATE", I DIDN'T BOTHER...

Besides, I had OTHER "STUFF" to DO! -- That - [in the END] - turned out to not especially LOOK like much... NOT, that IT ever DOES! -- really...

ALTHOUGH... "LATER" in the Evening, I was *struck* by some *CHROMO*-CRUNCHY-INSPIRATION!

Actually, to be Honest, I have Contemplated *THIS* "COLOUR-COMBO" Before. BUT, had never gotten around to APPLYING IT! -- Until, TONIGHT...

Recently, on a GROCERY-GETTING Trip to FARM-BOY, We had come across some "HEIRLOOM"-CARROTS...

THEY looked almost EDIBLE-ish - [*AFTER* a GOOD Scraping!] - And, Their Textured-PIGMENTATIONS were INTRIGUING... They ended up TASTING surprisingly *GOOD*, too!

-- hmm... DON'T I also just HAPPEN to have *YARN* in "THOSE" HUES..??!

BTW, speaking of "ANCESTRAL-WEAVING"...

**HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COUSIN-B!!**

***********************************************************

I'm going to have to CUT-BACK on the "VAMPIRE"-HOURS...

AS, I'M WASTING WAY TOO MUCH "DAYLIGHT"!


I "did" Stuff... But, IT just doesn't "Look" like IT... And, I'm gonna HAVE TO get a WHOLE LOT *MORE* done Tomorrow!!

ugh!

IT's a *MYSTERY* to even "know" WHERE-TO-*START*!?! -- *BETWEEN* the PROBABLE-SHOVELLING!!

There are THREE THINGS that I could *really* DO-with right Now!

• "SPACE"!
• a "KILL-SWITCH" for that frakking GEO-SYNCHRONOUS-ORBITING-*SNOW*-SHAKER over Us!!
• *TIME*!

oh. And, a MASSIVELY-MEGA-"LOTTERY"-WIN would be *WELCOMED*, too! - BUT, I've already WON $30. over This Past WEEKEND, so My "Chances" are pretty much quite likely *screwed* at the Moment. -- IT's probably "best" that I *FOCUS* My "MOJO" ELSEwhere!

SUCH AS, "CELEBRATING" **POST 1300** by sticking TWO More TOQUES onto the FANGS NEEDLES!!

******************************************************************

catching up... sorta...

ACTUALLY... There's PROBABLY *Tons* of "STUFF" that I *should* have "DONE"..? -- But, You know how IT goes...

• Had BLOOG-"Catch-Up" to get at...
• CYBER-STUFF -- [have to PAY for that YARN "somehow"!]
• YAY! A NEW "Decor"-MAG Issue...
• More DRIFT clean-up...
• Whipping-up *another* MINI-MOA-SHAN-TOQUE!!

SHOVEL-SHIVER-*KNIT*...

OH! AND, A BIT OF CROCHETING, TOO!

I didn't get OUT to SHOVEL until Late into the Afternoon... When the WINDCHILLS were just a tad on the NIPPY-side! - But, there was some TIDYING-Up to do *AFTER* Yesterday's "DUMP-FEST"!!

LATER, I had just enough "ENERGY" Left to Finish LITTLE-PRINCESS-BIG-RED's HAT! - [SEE 21JAN2014 POST] - REMEMBER, that I was gonna TRY "Something-*NEW*"..??

whaddaya think?

The FRINGES are CROCHETED... If I'd had the Time *and* "Patience", I probably could have KNITTED Them..? - HOWEVER, I didn't and *DON'T*! -- CROCHETING is sooo much FASTER and *EASIER* for Me! Besides, They turn-out THICKER "THIS" Way...

"..HEY! Turn-UP the "HEAT", so IT can SNOW!"

I *SUSPECT*, "THAT" WAS THE *THOUGHT* GOING THROUGH THE MINDS OF ALL OF THE "SKIERS" OUT THERE..?? - so as, to CONJURE up *more* METEOROLOGICAL MELEE...

BTW, have I mentioned My *profound* "DISLIKE"

 for OUTDOOR-WINTERY-"SPORTING"-PEOPLE..?

[needless to say, I *won't be consumed with "OLYMPIC-Fever"!]

So, the NEXT TIME when You're STUCK in that 4-Foot-SNOW-DRIFT or most probably, SHOVELLING to Support that Next HEART-ATTACK, go ahead, *BLAME* Whatever-Current-BLIZZARD on THOSE "NUMB"-SKULLS!!

-- I *DO*!


ANYHOO... Although the TEMPS are Rising, the WINDCHILL is keeping Them in-check... And, as well perhaps, the FORECASTED-SNOW-FLURRIES..?? -- I'm *HOPING* that the BULK of the "LATEST"-STORM will just Brush PAST Us! - I haven't been "OUT" since Last Saturday!


MEANWHILE, I've Started on THIS....

****************************************************************

If ANYONE "Asks"... I will DENY *ever* of having Said "THIS"--

-- THAT IT'S JUST *TOO* COLD TO GO "SHOP-FARI-ING"!!


okay. GRANTED, I've been "OUT" in *much* NIPPIER TEMPS... HOWEVER, at Present, I'm in NO "need" of STUFF that would necessitate *any* VENTURES into the "Current" FRIGIDNESS!! - [-31C WINDCHILLS] -- Actually, I'm rather ENJOYING My "HIBERNATION"!

NOR, am I Feeling "TEMPTED" to *BUY* STUFF that I have NO ROOM *FOR*!

Besides, I'm still *trying* to "ORIGAMI" the STUFF-ALANCHE-"SURVIVORS" as it is... Not to mention, getting BACK to ALL of My STITCHY-PROJECTS that had to be put "ON HOLD"!

THIS - eventually - will be for LITTLE-PRINCESS-BIG-RED...

BTW, *SPOILER ALERT*, I'll be ADDING "SOMETHING-NEW" to the DESIGN!
-- BUT, You're gonna haveta WAIT until IT's DONE!! - [oh yeah, I'm *EVIL*!]
