Preparing for a Holiday Craft Fair

Image
L ast month, I decided to participate in one of our local Holiday Craft Fairs since I have been enjoying making my yo yo doilies. I will be sharing a table with one of my dear lady friends, who makes beautiful jewelry. The other day, I went to Joann's to find fabric to make Fall/Thanksgiving and Christimas yo yo doilies. Whenever I go to Joann's, it takes me nearly an hour just to make a decision on fabric for any project I do, but this time was very easy, thank the Lord! I sure hope I can get at least 40 yo yo doiles done in time!! But I know they will turn out pretty with these fabrics! I'm in love with this fabric!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Introducing......... The White Dress! O n Saturday, we had the Robin Hood and Maid Marian Berry Thyme Ball! This ball was held in our local ballroom, which is rare. This ball seemed to me the best ever! I think it was the Ballroom atmosphere, with the decorations, the beautiful dresses and the *ahem* very handsome men. I believe my dress helped in how much I enjoyed this ball too, as funny as it sounds. It turned out great! I put some blood, sweat and tears into it. It was well worth the work to hear the compliments I got. Thank you, again, to the Plett's, for all your hard work in hosting these balls! And thanks to Laura for making those beautiful hair wreaths!! They were beautiful! Enjoy the pictures! I wish I took more, but I had to dance, right?! Laura K. in her beautiful dress!

Garden Yo Yo Doily I finally put some new items in my etsy shop, which is called Lady Heather Creations . Those new items are some yo yo doilies. I found this idea from Harvest Lane Cottage ; and Praise God, it's just wanted I needed to see since I'm trying to make some extra money! I had made these yo yo's quite awhile ago, hoping to make a quilt. So when I found the idea to make them into doilies, I decided to forget the quilt for now. Go check out my shop and see what else I have there. It's not alot, but there will be some more items added soon! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

O n the 4th of July weekend, my friends and I, took part in a Civil War Reenactment. This is my second year doing it, but my first "Official" year because last year I was just a guest. My friend Charlyn and I camped in the modern camp, but during the day, our friends, the Plett's, were our family (which you see above). They are the friends who put on the English Country Dancing Balls that I attend. Here are just a few of the pictures I took of our weekend together. Enjoy! Laura, our hair stylist for the weekend Charlyn took this when I was sitting down, and it turned out quite nice! Brian trying to get the fire started. No fire, no food!
