Father’s Day craft update

Happy Father’s Day Big-P. We love you.

Last Thursday I went down to the Stitches and Craft Show. I was really looking forward to it and even kind of imagined it like it might be a land at the top of the Magic far-Away Tree, “The Land of Stitches and Craft” or something. Unfortunately there was nothing terribly magic about it. I was generally pretty disappointed as it all seemed to be junk, but did end up finding a basket of beautiful glass beads which included some quirky little characters. Christina and I scrummaged through it for a good half hour to pick out the best.

After we had walked around the place in a kind of listless daze we left and then dropped in on Patchwork on Central Park on the way home which definitely lifted our spirits.

I was really pleased to see that they are stocking some of the really fun Munki Munki fabrics, and I am planning on finding a simple sun dress pattern for Amelia and then going back to get some.

My new Blythe also arrived making a grand total of three. She’s a Mademoiselle Rosebud and I think she’s gorgeous.
