<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hallo my Bloggy Friends!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have probably been wondering where I have disappeared to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well as it goes sometimes, live throws you a curve</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and than you have to deal with what comes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First my work load has doubled for the time being.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Second I have to deal with a few health issues of my own,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which will require me to visit the doctor's offices more often.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plus all the things that happen on a daily basis in all of our lives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So for the next few month, my time to be here in Blog land</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
has been cut down and my crafty time as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For a while I will have to cancel my regular features,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but I promise as soon as I can it will be returning.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have not totally quit working on some woolly things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below you will see that I am working on another shawl.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pattern came from Zooty Owls Blog.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All there is left to finish is the strings and some embellishments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Loved the way this one is working up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you have a chance, give it a try.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As you can see my Mandelitiz problem has not ended. Here now to show of Mandela #10, designed by none other than our own Lucy at <a href="http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/attic24-mandala-wheel.html" target="_blank">Attic24</a>. Who can avoid trying something out that Lucy has made? Not me, that's for sure.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yesterday I had a day off and my girlfriend and I decided to spend a day out, just doing something different to enjoy the day. We had heard that they were having a Music & Craft Festival in Hardy, Arkansas. It was raining first thing in the morning and at first we were debating weather to go or not, but than decided to take a chance. I am glad we did. The day stayed overcast for the most part. Every once in a while the sun peeked out, but not long enough and it was a bit cool at times. Sadly due to the weather, hardly anybody had put up their craft Boothe's, which was one of the reasons I wanted to go.</div>

First thing we decided to do, is to have some lunch at a restaurant called Words and Afterwords. In the evening they often have life entertainment with different local bands playing. It's a cute, homey kind of place and the food is absolutely yummy.</div>

Hardy is a small and quaint town, that sprouted up from a railroad construction camp in 1884 and is nestled on the banks of the Spring River. Many houses in this area are built from the rock found here, as in the picture below.<br />

The downtown area, pictured below, has many of the regions best antique shops and also crafts shops. I love the Murial on that building. Sadly it is fading a bit. As you can see it is not a very big town, but in the summer month chalk full of tourists.<br />

I just couldn't resist to take a picture of this little English car, which belongs to the restaurant it stands in front of. It's an antique Mini Cooper 1000. It reminded me of the days my mother would drive such a little car back in Germany when I was child. I think they are just to cute.<br />

Here was the music part of the day. This little place is in the middle of town in a little plaza by itself. Every hour on the hour they had a different local band playing, mostly bluegrass. Very enjoyable. Some people even got up and danced.<br />

Before we left town to go back home, we also decided to stop at the Spring River. It looked so welcoming with the sun finally peeking out for a few minutes. In the summertime, the Spring River is a big attraction around here for people that love to spend the day canoeing, kayaking, tubing or fishing, which is something we like to do here as much as possible.<br />

Well I hope I didn't bore you all to much with all my pictures. All in all it was a very nice afternoon out. Very relaxing and enjoyable to do something different. If you ever in this area, you should check this little charming place out. It's certainly worth it.<br />

<span style="color: red;">What kind of crocheter are you? Do you like to follow a pattern exactly as it is written? Do you like to "wing it" and make things up as you go? Are you a little of both?</span><br />
<br />
Interesting Question and until now I have never thought about it much. To answer this, I got to say, it depends. There are patterns where it is best to follow them to the "T" or the whole things comes out wrong. And then there are patterns I do make changes to as I go along. So I guess my answer would have to be "a little of both". I must also say, that sometimes when you make changes, the project or craft becomes your own.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And now on to other things. I actually crocheted something other than "Mandela's". Can you believe it? The addict is taking a break and moved on to something else. But I don't think it will be for good, because I still have Mandelitis in my blood. I also want to make a Mandela to add to Lucy's (Attic 24) Yarndale project. Have you seen hers yet? If not, you need to go and take a look.<br />
<br />
This first project I made, is a child's summer hat. It's crocheted in cotton yarn, color pink, with white trim. I haven't crocheted anything for a child in a long time and when I saw this little hat, I knew I just had to make one. I think it is so stinking cute. What you all think? The pattern I found <a href="http://stitch11.com/toddler-sun-hat/" target="_blank">here</a><br />

The second thing I made is a scrubby for the shower. It is also made out of cotton that I had left from another project. It took me quite some time to make it. It started out simple enough, but by the last row my fingers were hurting as the piece started winding pretty tide together. Can you believe it took a whole skein to make this? Wow is what I thought. But I do like it and I think it will be very durable.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And now to our little Give-away:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over the last few days I did a yarn inventory,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
which I will talk about in a follow up post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I found is that I had yarn, that I personally can't use,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since I am allergic to that type yarn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So with that said,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided I would like to share it with one of you.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only rule here is,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that you please leave a comment at the end</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and let me know that you would like to participate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Give-away will end Sunday, the 18th, 2014.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So hope you come and join for chance.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The yarn is Patons SWS.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not brown, like it looks on the picture, but green (natural moss)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's a soy wool blend.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: red;"><u>What was your first completed project that you made?</u></span></b><br />
<br />
Well that is really kind of easy to answer. They were pot holders made out of cotton yarn. They were also not very pretty, with a bunch of holes in it and the rows very uneven. But you know, I was only around 6 years old and those little fingers just didn't work that well yet. With time came experience. I still remember giving them to my grandma for Christmas and she was all smiles and full of praise. What more could a little girl ask for?<br />
<br />
<br />
Yesterday I made one more Mandela like coaster. This time in brown, but it looks black in the picture.<br />

As I mentioned yesterday, I have been playing around with a little bit of crochet this past week. Mostly little things. I am trying to decide on what my goal is for this month. On June 7th I will participate in a Crafts Show in a nearby town. Two of my crafty friends and I will share a big booth and we will certainly have many different items for sale, from weaving, knitting and crochet.<br />
<br />
So now preparations have to be made, from having a pop-up tent, to chairs, table coverings, displays, baskets and much more. Everything has to be neatly washed and priced.<br />
<br />
At this point I would really like to ask all of you for your opinions. From your own experiences, what kind of things sell the best at crafts shows? I have some basic standby's like Dishcloth, Potholders, and such, but otherwise I am just not sure what kind of things I should still be making up this month. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!<br />
<br />
Here are a few of the things I have been playing around with:<br />
<br />

This last week has been a busy one for me. Had several Birthday Parties to attend, than work of course and the daily things don't want to wait either. But I did manage to squeeze in a few crafty minutes here and there. I crocheted one more Mandela. The pattern once again came from <a href="http://zootyowlcards.blogspot.com/2014/04/rainbow-vermicelli-mandala-pattern.html" target="_blank">Zooty Owl</a> . This Mandela is absolutely huge. As you can see I am still a little behind on sewing in all those strings, but I will get there.</div>

Thanks for stopping by today. As you can see I am still on my Mandela kick. I just can't stop. And the more I want to stop, the more new patterns I see appearing and with that it is over for me. I am just plain hooked. Please come and help me get over this madness.<br />
<br />
Here now is one I have designed myself. I hope you like it.<br />
<br />
But first I thought I would share a little description of what the different colors stand for in a Mandela. Very interesting, don't you think?<br />

The one thing that is crazy about a Mandela is allllll those strings.</div>

Here we are again on another Wednesday and another challenge has arrived. I am really enjoying these challenges. It makes you think about things in different ways and I got to say, I am also learning from others in how to maybe do things different and more organized.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Organize your patterns this week. Do you have a special system for your patterns? Can you find a specific pattern easily?</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span>
Personally I store my patterns in 4 different ways. One of them is ravelry, which I just recently started, because for some reason I missed that you can do that. The next would be my computer. I have a seperate folder in which I keep all patterns, listed by their name.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
#3 would be the Magazine holders,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in which I keep crochet magazines</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and also patterns that I have printed out.</div>

crochet books and other crochet related items.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I do have more crochet books, but they are on my </div>

On another note I would like to say here, that my prayers go out to all who have been effected by the nasty tornadoes and storms over the last few days. Sadly it is just the beginning of Tornado season, but hopefully they will not be to bad this year. Everybody in the effected areas, please stay safe and please listen when they tell you to take cover. I have seen one Tornado up close and it wasn't pretty.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
The other day I was at my girlfriends house and it was her Birthday. Her husband surprised her with a bouquet of flowers shipped in from Hawaii. Is that not special? She is one lucky gal. There were so many flowers, we actually had to put them in 2 different vases. They were huge. I found these flowers so beautiful, colorful and so different to what we see around here. The texture is different as well. I hope you don't mind my sharing them with you and I won't bore you to much.<br />
