Our church had a 50's themed volunteer appreciation dinner. Since today was "knit in public" day, we decided to bring along our WIPs and do just that. Now that I look at the pic, we look seriously domestic. ;-P But we all know the truth about that! Can't tame THESE wild women! Unless, of course, there is yarn involved. Then we would do just about anything, I suppose. It was fun! Although, there was a performance issue with me and the hula hoop. For those of you who may not know, I ama dynamite hula hoop-er. Ask my mom, I would stand in our driveway in suburban long island and hula hoop ALL DAY. I could go for HOURS. So, of course, when the time came and my hubby said, "3, 2, 1, GO!!!" My hoop kept dropping. IT WAS SO CRAZY!!! I could do it when we were warming up, but I couldn't get the darn thing going when everyone was watching me! How funny. I'm the last one you'd think would choke in front of a crowd. Especially since I'm up in front of people every week! Weird. I want a do-over!

I'm BA-ACK!!! It's been a while, but I'm still here and still crafting. Like a mad woman. Which is why I've been AWOL for so long! :-) My friend Kristen and I have opened our own etsy store at www.crispcollective.etsy.com and are still waiting for it to take off. It's been fun, though! I must say that it's different when you're crafting for profit rather than as a gift or a personal project. I feel like I need to make sure it's "sell-able" when all i really want to do is make cool stuff! :-)
