Really Kinda Random

I'm linking up with Cindy for Really Random Thursday.  Check out her blog, Live A Colorful Life, for additional lovely random posts.

 

Whew!  It's been a busy week!  (Do I say that every week?) I sat down to write a post about some handwork I've been working on and realized it was Thursday already.  So, I'll do my random post today and share some other stuff with you tomorrow.

Fall is definitely here.  Yesterday it was 43 degrees when I left for work.  Sadly, it might be time to put away the sandals and get out the long pants (none of which fit me right now...Argh).  :-(

This was the one and only photo I took at Midwest Stitches in Chicago.  Sigh.  I've been meaning to show it for a while, but I could never figure out where it fit in.  I think Really Random Thursday is a good spot for it.  I just loved the colors on this table.  One of those pink skeins came home with me.  I've been needing a new knitting project lately.  Maybe I should cast on.  Hmmmm.....

Not the greatest photo.  Sorry.  I took it with my cell phone.

But, April, this is for you!  LOL!

It's so random.  I read a post April, Polkadot Sparrow, had written recently.  The title of her post was Squirrel!  It was about some awesome pillows she made with squirrel fabric (which I really dug).  The next day, I was at work and in someone's office.  This was sitting on his bookshelf.  It was just so weird to see it after reading April's squirrel post.  It was....well.....random!

I took Sweet Pea shopping for some new tennis shoes the other day, because hers were falling apart.  She picked out some pretty nice high top athletic shoes.  Happily the shoes were "Buy-one-get-one-half-off."  She asked if she could get a second pair.  I said, "Sure."  She was surprised.  She picked out a pretty awesome pair of shoes, if you ask me.  She actually let me take her photo with them on, full body, and agreed to allow me to show it on the blog.  That's how proud of her shoes she is.  I know this isn't a very "romantic" backdrop for the photo (a parking lot!), but I gotta take 'em when I can get 'em these days!

She said, "Get a close-up shot, Mom."  Are these awesome, or what.  I sure wish I could carry these off.

Then, she said, "Now, get a shot like this."  Haha!  She is such a model.  I can see why she digs these.

The little township near my house, Texas Corners (remember....Best Little Hair House in Texas Corners?), had a little craft show last Sunday in the town pavilion.  This is where the Farmer's Market is held on Saturdays.  It was a small craft fair, but enjoyable.  I took home information on how to be a vendor in the future.  Yes, I'm laughing with you on this one.  As if!  I don't know how I'd have time to sew for it, but that could be sort of fun.  It was such a beautiful day the day this was held, but there were not many people there, as you can see.  I wonder if it would be worth it.  Have you participated in one before?  How do you decide whether it will be worth it to you?

Hope you're having a good week.  I am.  It's just BUSY!  Today is my loooong day.  Class at 9:30 am and don't finish with classes until 9:00 pm tonight.  I'll try to be back tomorrow with that handwork post.

Until next time,

Love those shoes! Really kinda like sneaker boots!

If my grand daughter reads your blog and sees those shoes, I can guarantee she is going to want some! About the craft fair...I've done them and sold out. I've also done them and brought it all home. Seller beware, is all I can say! LOL!

Another fun Really Random. SweetPea is adorable -- do they have those shoes in adult sizes? Have a good day -- long tho it may be!

I´d take home that whole table of lovely yarn (if I had the money)... Such beautiful colors... And I must say that Sweet Pea has a pretty cool style!

Those shoes seriously rock. :)

I am surprised ALP hasn't told me about sweet pea's high tops. She wanted some and her dad said no so she has the lower version of sweet pea's :)

I too love the color of the yarn table.

I've seen those high-laced shoes, and wondered who would wear them. I love Chucks, but think I'm too old for that style. They look adorable on Sweet Pea!

LOVE that table full of yarn...the colors are gorgeous! And 43 degrees...wish we could have some of your weather...still going to be over 100 today!

Love the new shoes, too!

I found those shoes on sale and almost bought them for Carmi! Decided against it in the interest of keeping peace in the house...she has more shoes than I do and Russ says, "enough!"

Wow! Those shoes are great! Great choice Sweet Pea!

Wednesdays are turning into my long day. I taught a class last night and didn't get home until 8. 9:30 am until 8 pm is a looong day but 9 pm is worse. Hats off to you! I got to teach the Metro Slouch though. It was really kind of fun. I enjoyed my student and she was so happy with how her bag is turning out. We didn't finish it last night and she plans to come back for a second class to finish it up.
