NEWS FLASH.....

... I've been slacking on blogging. But for good reasons, I assure you.

Cotuit Craftfest

On August 21 and22, the Sockmonstahs and I went to the Cape to Cotuit for Craftfest. We heard all kinds of good stuff about this fair and wanted to attend last year, but by the the time we applied the show was full. I made sure we got in this year and was pleased to find out that not only did it live up to the hype, but the show had exceeded my expectations.

Craftfest was organized, adequately staffed, and well advertised. In fact it was so busy, I didn't have time to take pictures of the set up! The second day was very rainy, but a lot of people still came. I literally ran out of monstahs and left early on Sunday. We will be back at Craftfest next year, most definitely! However, there's a craft fair we will not be returning to...


Saturday Shindigs

I know it's very sad, we loved the August Saturday Shindig in Osterville last year, but not not so much this year. Only one sockmonstah was sold and that's only because a little boy held it hostage until his parent relented and bought it (Fernando) for him - thanks little dude! I met a lot of nice people but wasn't worth the time off from work or the booth fee to go back next year. So we're just gonna stick to the Craftfest in the summer and UCT Holiday fair in November for which I'm already making monstahs - GET EXCITED!
