Today I went to a craft show, which I both love and hate.
Love because of all the new, cool things to see if I can make and hate because I walk by every booth and say, "Prrbb, so easy, why didn't I think of that!"
For example, I was bested by a group of 15 year old girls (who, by the way, called me ma'am..??!!) who simply tied together lengths of fuzzy yarn so it resembled a fashion scarf. No skill involved other than the use of scissors!
The only crafty thing I managed this week was to make an award for the Best Pie contest we had a work. I also entered a pie - apple peach, a recipe I made up. I didn't win (as usual). The winning pie was a delicious strawberry-topped thing with a creamy middle and crushed pecan crust. I voted for it.
Maybe I should just make a trophy for myself: this award goes to Vicki, a swell gal.
