Yarn from the Craft Fair, Trees and just Stuff

I truely love the colors of the trees in California. These trees are called Jacaranda trees.They always amaze me. This scene is right up the street from me. We have trees with pink and white flowers on them in front of our house...I took the other photo of a tree in EL Dorado park that I thought was unique...the tree trunk at the bottom of the post was so cool looking I just had to take a shot of it too...now, for my yarns,  I know it is not much to do with crochet but I just had to share...I am getting over yet

 another cold so I have time on my hands to explore my photos.. :)  this yarn is so pretty....when we went on our last field trip I said a promise to myself that I would but NO MORE yarn,..now I tell you who keeps that kind of promise....???? The Simply Soft blue and white yarns will be for a special project, since I am sorting out all my patterns into folders and putting them in my file cabinet it shouldn't be hard! The charcoal and white yarns I ended up buying at Velona's! Then I started my g-son's Valentine's scarf. Coming along pretty quick. :)This glittery scarf, in the package, was only $2 at the fair and the bracelet kit is to make and it was from the Debbie Norvelle booth. :)The Sugar n' Cream yarn I got from Michael's for it's, $1 a skein, sale and the other is Simply Heather for maybe a scarf ??? 

The Velona's find is for a pattern in the book of a scarf with a hood, cuffs, and a bag, :) The other photo of yarn is what I got at the fair from Debbie Norvalle the multi colored pinks and blues and creams. :)

Anaheim Craft Fair and my Projects

I finished my g-daughter's scarves for Valentine's Day. :) I used tBernat Bamboo. I just love working with this yarn and then I added Bernat Boa in the middle. The pattern is a simple one....I used the stitch combination of sc and dc and then worked long instead of across and then changed colors and added fringe and then tied it with a bow. You just have to weave it on each side to keep it in place. I made them shorter because they are oyunger and I also wanted it to be a little different thatn the normal long scarves...

So went to the Anaheim Convention Center and met Caol Duvall...what a treat!!!!! She is such a nice person. and the "queen" of crafting!!! I used to watch her and was a faithful fan. Sorry when she went off the air and looking forward to her new "online" network that is in the works. http://www.icraftnetwork.com/ it is under construction now but if you email Carol you can become a fan and get alerts when it starts up.  icraftwithcarol@yahoo.com

It was a huge event, with Debbie Stoller  too and craftster and Joann's and Michaels. If you wanted you could make small crafts at individual tables and have more fun. There was a lot of ideas and crafting supplies and the gals and I had a ball......PLUS!!!!! I got to finally meet my online "Flicker" friend Heather....we have been talking on Flickr for over a 1 year and we met up there. I only wish I had taken a photo of us together, but next time I will for sure..:::

We had walked for hours and all our dogs were barking. Here we are holding them up for a group shot, the other two gals had left already.
