Hello everyone, I hope your summer is going as well as mine. I wanted to post about a website that I use often to swap my unwanted items for things I can use. Basically you list your items with photos and then you can search through items other mamas are offering. If you find something you like you can start a conversation with the other mama to see if you have anything listed they would swap for. I have gotten a lot of great used and new items for just the cost of shipping my item to the other mama. It can be addicting but I love it.
www.swapmamas.com is the site. Check it out.

Ok, so I promised some free crochet patterns and I want to deliver. This is not a custom pattern that I designed but I found it on another crafters site offered for free. I made it without the ear flaps, and enlarged it some when I made it. I love the design and its super cute so I hope you enjoy it too. Here is the link to the pattern. She includes pictures and video tutorial for certain stitches as well. http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2013/03/crochet-cupcake-hat-pattern.html Enjoy!! So I had a busy weekend. Spent most of Friday at the MOST (Museum of Science and Technology), and the Zoo in Syracuse with Brad and the Kids. It was alot of fun. We were all exhausted when we got home but it was a great family day. Unfortunately Saturday morning my weekend went downhill. My great uncle (left) passed away at Samaritan at 3 am. It was bad news and unexpected because we were all under the impression he was well and coming home that weekend. So while we were dealing with the news of his loss I received news that a friend of mine was killed that day in an accident as well. So I had lots of bad news over the weekend. Kind of surreal and it hasn't all hit me yet but I'm sure it will at some point. My friend that passed had two young boys so I'm praying for her family as well as mine in dealing with these losses. I hope everyone else had a pleasant weekend, and keep cool. It's supposed to be pretty hot the next few days. So we went to the fair last night when it was cool and still free admission day. The kids had fun but the cost of the rides is so high, and my daughter is still so tiny I had to ride with her, we did only 3 rides. I don't understand how they can charge $1.25 a ticket then expect 3 tickets a ride, and I had to pay for tickets too because even though my presence is required for Kendra to ride, I have to pay as well. It's a scam and needless to say, my children were crying when we left because they really wanted to ride more rides and I just did't have enough cash left to buy more tickets. I'm disappointed in my experience with the midway but I do enjoy seeing the entries in the fair's I still encourage everyone to visit the fair in support of the local Artists, crafters, farmers and vendors who enter and are at the fair. www.jeffcofair.org Happy Independance Day weekend everyone. As many families did we celebrated with friends and family at a BBQ. Then we enjoyed the fireworks display put on at Thompson Park, it was amazing. Although it was fun and exciting I am glad all the excitement has calmed down and I am enjoying relaxing at home. This Sunday is submission day for our county fair. I will be entering two art pieces in the art show. The art show is located in the Ice Arena on the fairgrounds. Come out if you can to enjoy all the exhibits and the midway. The first day, Tuesday the 9th is free admission day and I believe there will be a parade on the grounds that evening as well. For more info you can log on to www.jeffcofair.org Hello everyone. This is my very first blog post and I am quite excited. I plan to use my blog to post various things I find interesting and important to myself, that could possibly be helpful to others as well. I will post an occasional crochet pattern, or craft project directions, as well just in case anyone is interested in trying a new project. I welcome your feedback also so feel free to post a comment. Also when you get a chance please like my facebook page as well. https://www.facebook.com/pages/MC-Novelties
