Handmade Soap

The podcast sponsor, Lydia Marie, is at the Pittsburgh Mills craft show in Tarentum PA this weekend.  If you live in or around the area, stop by to purchase some fabulous hand made soap or lotion!

Did you know?

Taking a break from putting the finishing touches on the 2nd Mystery Project (which will be posted very soon!) to share this cute tid-bit.  Last week, I was in the grocery store.  I always check the magazine area, incase there happens to be anything of interest.  It is pretty much hit or miss; if there is a hit, I would much rather grab it than have to pack up the baby and drive aaalll the way out to the book store, even though I have a discount card for the book store.  Anywho, as I was perusing, out of the corner of my eye I noticed someone else.  I didn't turn around, but rather, figured they could wait until I was done looking to have their turn.  (Polite, aren't I?)  As it turned out, the lady happened to be rather nice.  She was older - the grandmotherly type.  Since I was looking at the needlecraft section, she asked if I did needlework.

Time for Halloween!

October is my favorite month of the year - the air turns crisp, the leaves change colors, and there is just a certain smell and feel to the air.  And of course, October means Halloween!  I love Halloween.  No, I do not dress up like some folks do; I do not even pass out candy.  I just like it!  Years ago, my sister and I would watch the move Hocus Pocus as many times as we could during October on the Disney Channel.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In addition to the pattern from Plymouth in the previous post, here is a scarf from Classic Elite to knit for breast cancer awareness, (it is the same as the one I posted last year) as well as a few others.  If you have a pattern you would like to share, feel free to post  a comment with info.
