One more month

Just one more month to the day, and we will be back at it! Chautauqua day in Sexsmith is June 6th. It starts at 10 am and runs until 4 pm. It is a fun filled day for all!

I have obligated to the entire farmers market season again this year. So I will be there every Tuesday from 4 pm to 7 pm. I'm looking forward to seeing my fellow vendor friends there and meeting new ones. Lana (my son's MIL) will assist me again this year. I swear, she gets as excited about this as I do! 

We may now and then have a few new extra goodies on our tables such as farm fresh chicken eggs, and maybe even some preserves of kinds as my DIL is getting into it now a days. 

Myself, with our business of moving house finally over with, I was able to get back to sewing as it really helps alleviate the pain from the arthritis in my hands. Gotta keep 'em moving! I've got a bunch of new flat pouches which are a decent size for anything you want to put in them. 

One other new thing are "cup covers". I've probably mentioned them before, but they are in fun colours and help keep the bugs out of your drink when outside. They are not water proof; that is not their purpose, but they are easily washed. You can even just give them a quick rinse under the tap and sit to dry.

I was intially going to sell them in pairs, but opted to do a 4 pack instead. I think that having a set of 4 is more useful to people.

One last thing before I sign off, at Chautauqua day I will have a limited supply of what I call "bed sheet binders". They are those elastic things for the clipping the corners of your bed sheets so that they do not slip off the bed mattress. They are in a set of 4 and they are much wider than the ones you see in the stores. The elastic on these are double the width at 2 inches wide. Use the suspender clips on each end to position them and then to secure them to the bed sheet. You should not have to remove them to wash the sheet. As long as they are on securely, they should wash just fine while attached to the sheet.

Well, that is about it for now, I am getting more excited about market season as the time draws more near.
