Craft Sale on Saturday

The Kinettes Craft Sale was on Saturday.
I've been participating with a table since 2005
I don't have pictures as the camera was DEAD and the
charger is MIA!!!

The sale went well. Lots of tables with wonderful items
and lots of shoppers!

I had help by way of my daughter , Melly. She sat with me
and kept me company.
I did have friends drop by but I wasn't able to visit as much as
I would have liked too!!

I work at getting ready most of the fall and I am glad its over for this year lol

Now on to holiday stuff!

Thats it from ByTheHills!

New Hobby-- Pottery

I have been going to the pottery club in town (Wynyard)

Andrea,who is patiently is showing me the ropes of pottery, really makes it FUN!

Making pottery is really relaxing for me .
Nothing with clay is fast.
The one thing I have learned about it , is that its all about patience!

That's it from by the hills!
