Coming up

I ran into an old friend of mine on http://www.tribe.net and she said there is going to be a new Renaissance Faire starting in Idyllwyld, CA and she is looking for guilds to participate. I don't know the exact date and location but as soon as she knows, she'll let us know.

This weekend is the 10th Annual Gourd Art Festival in Fallbrook, CA at the Welburn Gourd Farm. See http://www.gourdfestival.com for details. I hope to be there on Sat. so if you see me please come and say hello.

What is Amigurumi?

I learned a new word this week. Amigurumi is a Japanese word for crocheted dolls and animals done in a spiral in single crochet. Also, some amigurumi are knitted. And some amigurumi are not dolls or animals, but weird things like cacti and cupcakes. I remembered how to spell the word because it starts with A mi and ends with a 'mi' and has a guru in the middle. Ami-guru-mi. If you like cute stuff you'll love amigurumi.

Why Sock Monkeys Are Better Than Men

Why sock monkeys are better than men:
1. They never try to take over the conversation.
2. They never take credit for your ideas.
3. They are happy to cuddle anytime without any expectations.
4. They will go to the ballet without complaining.
5. They are always the life of the party but never get drunk.
6. They don't care when you dance with someone else.
7. They don't hold a grudge when you ignore them for a week.
8. They like to dance with you.
9. They don't watch sports.
10. They never tell you your dress makes your butt look too big.
11. They never hog the covers.
12. They never snore."

I couldn't resist.
