..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..?

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

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

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...

WOOHOO! The SNOW-**REMOVAL**-ELVES are HERE!!

AND, HERE I WAS THINKING THAT *NOTHING* "EXCITING" WOULD HAPPEN TODAY..?!

Actually, *NOTHING* "EXCITING" did happen DURING the Day. -- BTW, the FACT that neither The MAILMAN nor The-ELDERLY-PARENTAL-UNITS - [when They went OUT] - SLIPPED on the ICE, doesn't Count.

Although, perhaps getting ACCESS to BLOGGER again *maybe* should..? - I'll have to THINK on IT... HOWEVER, Watching the that GIANT-SNOWBLOWER-MACHINE, Tonight, sucking up the SNOWBANK across the Street is so MUCH *more* "ENTERTAINING"!!

Oooo... And, THEY're *also* using the SIDEWALK-PLOWS to *CLEAN* EVERYONE's DRIVEWAYS!?!

-- Excuse Me for a Moment while I try to wrap My BRAIN around

 THAT **RARE** OCCURRANCE!!

Whilst I do, why don't You just SCROLL-ON-DOWN and *ENJOY* the...

YAY!! - I "think" I've FIXED IT!!

FOR NOW, ANYWAY..??

okay. So FIRST off, "ignore" the ABOVE DATE... As IT's really actually the wee hours of the "9th" right NOW!

IF You've been READING My SIDEBAR MESSAGES for the last few Days, You'd know that I've been having "ISSUES" with ACCESSING My BLOG in order to actually *BLOOG*!! -- I *finally* STUMBLED onto some USEFUL INFO - [It seems that I'm not the ONLY ONE having the "PROBLEM"!] - and sorta figured out "WHAT" was going on..? After some perusing of OTHER PEOPLE's *SOLUTIONS*, I thought I'd just give the "Simplest" One a TRY...

huh. Just ONE "DELETE" of a *Certain*-Thing and TWO-DAYS-OF-FRUSTRATION-AND-*CRAP* have **INSTANTLY** D.I.S.A.P.P.E.A.R.E.D!?!

HOWEVER. "BLOGGER" *IS* still to BLAME!! -- THEY did "something" with the BROWSER Compatibilities that *screwed*-UP stuff...

ANYHOO... THINGS *appear* to be OKAY for the "Moment"... But, NOW, I have to play "CATCH-UP"! - UGH!!

Soooooo.... HERE's *WHAT* I had WANTED to POST the OTHER Day for "TODAY"!!


And, in Keeping with the CURRENT TEMPS....

f-f-f-frakking *F-Frostbite*, "FROSTY"!! It's FREEZING *FRIGID* Out There!!

ACTUALLY, THE "MEAN"-TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT THE *SAME* AS *YESTERDAY'S*...

However, TODAY was Completely OVERCAST - [Solar-Heating from DIRECT Sunlight *does* make a DIFFERENCE!] - and, the WINDS were *quite* STRONG and WHET! -- The Resulting WINDCHILL, -30C! -- [-22F]

Meanwhile, NOT knowing exactly "WHEN" the Lastest *BIG-STORM* was going to "HIT", We kept Our SHOP-FESTING *Close-by*, with an "Afternoon at THE MALL"... NOTHING "Exciting", just MUCH WALKING! -- Mostly, trying to keep *TRACK* of MOTHER! - [She is rather Short and Scurries off a lot...]

Anyhoo... The SNOW didn't Start until MID-Evening and is on the LIGHTER-side for the Moment..?

We're just skirting the BACK-*EDGE* of the SYSTEM! The WINDS have also LESSened and TEMPS are slightly RISING... "Hopefully", by Dawn, We'll be OUT of "The ZONE"..?!!
-- Either way, "SHOVELLING" *will* be on TOMORROW's AGENDA...


So. Still "PLAYING" with THE *NEW* CAMERA... The AUTO-FOCUS seems to be a tad Tricky... whatever...

HERE's that Recently-Finished TOQUE...

One of My Recent PHYSIO-PEEPS just took "Delivery"...

MEANWHILE...

I *HAD* to get over to MICHAEL'S, *Today*! -- My FAV *YARN* was really ON SALE - **AND** - for Today and Tomorrow "only", there was an Additional 25%-OFF-COUPON available... NO *Way* was I going to MISS OUT on getting FIRST-Day-"DIBBS" on the SELECTION!

20-BALLS Later...

whatever... MUST get STITCHY now...
