Holiday Pop-up Market at the Rose Garden

This Saturday (November 19th) I, and some great local Western New York Crafters and Artist will be at The Rose Garden Early Childhood Center for their First Annual Holiday Pop-up Market.  I'd rather do my shopping here  than at the mall, or having to get up at 4 am just to be trampled at some big box chain store. Here you'll find local, and handmade items right in our neighborhood.  I'll be bringing some of the items listed in my Etsy Shop, some never before seen items & maybe a paintings. ;) Holiday Pop-up Market November 19, 2011 ~ 12-4pm Rose Garden Early Childhood Center: 257 Lafayette Ave. Buffalo NY, 14213

Wordless Wednesday: Design

Pin It

Crud

I just found yet another distracton

Toddler mittens

I finally (almost) finished for K-dog but of course soon mitten season
will be over. On the upside K is thrilled and I think I came up
with a very workable pattern. I'm totally willing to share, and would
love it if someone would test-knit it for me.

i'm on a 4 week knitting binge

It is possible

For a moment, ignore the super cute baby in photo. Take a look at the
baby legging she's wearing. It is possible! I completed a craft. It
was really easy, basically I cut up some knee socks and sew in a
cuff. And presto, we're ready for fall.

Acceptance

Acceptance

I will never be a good speller. Anyone who has known me long enough
to see any of my writing knows that I have never been and will likely
never be a good speller. I nearly had strait A's in 5th grade but I
got a D in spelling. With the aid of computers and a phalanx of
trusted editors I really try to produce readible prose, at least. But
I have accepted this about myself, you will just have to forgive me.

I don't send greeting cards. If you have gotten a hallmark from me
consider yourself in the lucky few. I really do mean well, and even
have a drawer full of blank, birthday, thank you and holiday cards. I
probably bought one for you, but as the apointed time slipped away,
and the event faded into the past, I just felt more and more guilty
about not sending it on time. Ultimately, I just decided to send it
next year because who wants a three month late birthday card anyway. I
do feel really bad about not sending thank you notes, because I do
really appreciate the gifts given to me and my family. Just so you
know I even addressed and stamped the ones for my wedding gifts,
however postage has gone up since then. Thankyou's are particularly
hard for me because they require a little hand writen note, and this
tends to reveal my spelling difficulty. I hereby accept this personal
failing and will stop waisting money on un-sent cards.

As much as I love art, and I live to make beautiful and useful things,
I will never pen a "kids craft" blog, nor pull-off a 100% handmade
Christmas. My craft drawers are full of felt and glitter and I have a
new sewing machine. But for each completed project there are ten half-
knit scarves, un-hemmed curtains, un-ironed iron on, patterns, fabric,
buttons, paper, string and even an embrotery hoop. Who am I kidding?
I do like to try these projects but I don't really have the free time
or attention to detail. I have accepted this about myself. I do still
like to do my little projects but from now on I will enjoy the tatting
away in it's own right because I may never have a whole doylie ever
anyway.

So I will accept these things about me, and stop feeling guilty about
them. If one birthday or hoiday you actually get a hand knitt scarf
with a personal hand written letter from me ... DO NOT send me a
thankyou note, it will just make me feel bad because I'll never sent
yours.

Love,
Imperfect Kisha
