We’ve got the Craft Bug!
It started back in early December when Robyn C. told me about the nifty knitter. I asked for one for my birthday and about 15 hats later (including 4 fabulous santa hats), I’m an addict. 
Then the same friend showed up at the park one day making a crocheted bag out of plastic grocery bags (she also makes really cool art dolls: iggyjingles.blogspot.com. Yep, really cool. So I thought “man, I’ve gotta learn how to crochet!” So we did and I made a jaunty green beret for my eldest just in time for St. Patty’s Day(drat! where is that hat? the car? the bedroom? the refrigerator?) And Now we’re knee deep in Ren Faire costumes…sewing and dyeing and having so much fun! oh man, I’m loving me some Ren Faire!
And just to make my everyday ensemble even more crafty-liscious You might notice my fabulous bag that my dear brother bought me for Christmas. Hand-made by Kelly S. her myspace page is here: subterfusion It’s so gorgeous and as you can see it inspired my girls to make some bags of their own!

Cool! I used to make them but my carpel tunnel, unfortunately makes art projects hard
But great job, pretty hats! You are pretty yourself! After seeing your comic as a cow lady, who knew?

Strangely, I always find myself a bit surprised when I’m reminded that behind Hathor the Cowgoddess, there is Heather, a normal human! I’m thankful for both of them.
The hats look fun and it’s neat to see the real girls who keep Heather inspired so Hathor can keep us inspired!

I love crocheting!! It feels so good to create things with my hands for my kids. I can’t wait until they’re old enough to learn!
We have no Ren Faire here in Utah Valley. I miss it. We do have some people who dress up and do sword fights in the park down town, but that is NOT the same.
(sigh)

If anyone needs patterns or help (or someone to make for them!) for Ren Faire costumes- I work at the PA Ren Faire and sew costumes for other workers and actors. Feel free to contact me at screllin@ptd.net- I’m quick, I’m cheap, and I’m currently home on maternity leave, so I even have extra time!
Hooray for Ren Faires! (And those are great “period” hats, Heather!)

Your girls are adorable. I love my two boys & I am glad that I have two boys because boys are great, but I also hope some day that I can have a girl to put in a cute leotard with feathery slippers.
