Sad Day, Craft Show, and more

Today is a sad day. I learned this afternoon that the Second Counselor in the First Presidency of our Church has passed away. I just watched "A Celebration of Life" (a tape of the President's 95 Birthday celebration in 2005) last night, and Pres. Faust spoke in it. It is sad for us to not have him here anymore, but I am sure that he is busy in heaven all ready. He was a good man and we will miss him very much.

I have made a scarf and have started another on the looms. The first one you can wear different ways, it was made on the large loom. this one is being made with the leftover yarn on the little loom. They are really pretty, made of fun fur yarn (I found at Michael's in Watertown, NY for only $2 a skein. I will post a picture when I have time. I am also working on some microwave heating pads. I need to get a lot done for the craft show in November. I just got our place in the mail today. Looks like we have a good place. I hope I sell more things this year. I have a pattern for making some foam animals that hang up in the light. Their belly's are made of CD's so they look pretty with the light shining on them. I got 100 CDs for $15 at Staples in Watertown. And I got 2 12 count packages of foam ( the large sheets) for $3.99 each at Michael's (the one in watertown). I will see if anyone likes them. I have to make some more earrings and lace ornaments also.
