Renaissance Fair 2012

 I wish the Renaissance Fair was held a little earlier in the year, but it was so horribly hot this year that it wasn't as much fun this year. We have been suffering with temperatures over 100 degree, which is very rare for Colorado, and with the fires about 20 miles away, we occasionally could smell it too. But I survived. I was there for Children's Weekend, but the crowds were small and surprisingly few kids.

Every now and then, a breeze would fly through the shop and it was like being kissed by a dragon. I also noticed that there are a lot more fairies and pirates than princes and princesses. Interesting about the pirates, they didn't come along until a few centuries after the Renaissance.

JJ Baby Hats for the Renaissance Faire

The Renaissance Faire is just a little over a month away and my fingers are flying making baby hats to sell. I have plenty of adult hats ready but very few kids' hats until this year. I am using the JJ Baby Hat pattern that is posted earlier in my blog. I have a wonderful hat stand made by my husband for my adult hats, but I plan to use baskets to hold the baby and children's hats as well as the scrunchies (pattern also included in this blog).

I purchased some baskets at World Market when they were 50% off. However, as you see, one of my baskets has been confiscated by a little demon who decided that my scrunchies needed a dose of black cat hairs. Don't worry, I took the scrunchies out and replaced them with his blanket. A bright yellow scrunchy is diminished with streaks of black.

Scrunchies may really be out of style. Neko can't figure out what they are for either.
