July 27-28, 2013 Weekend, Junk in the Trunk Fashion Show, Minion Hats, Spending Time with Friends, My Crochet Cowl Class, and Eating Peppers on a Lazy Rainy Sunday

My weekend started off with the Junk in the Trunk Fashion Show. Ms. Aimee the owner of Junk in the Truck put out a message on Facebook asking for models for her Final Friday Junk in the Trunk Fashion Show. When I read it I immediately messaged her and told her that I would love to model in a fashion show and I am proud to say that I was the oldest person there.

Make up was provided.

Anyone could go next door at the Unique Barber Shop to have colored chalk put in their hair, Lystra sure looked sassy here, don’t you think?

Danielle and Lystra made my night by making me laugh so hard that tears rolled down my legs. 🙂 It’s funny how innocent they look in this photo but they had everyone cracking up laughing most of the time. Both of these young ladies are private CNA’s and if I ever needed a CNA I would love to have them taking care of me.

Misti is so cute and sweet; she is a Mary Kay consultant and came to do makeup, but I think she would be great at modeling too. She’s so photogenic.

Delaney looked adorable with colored chalk streaks too.

I loved being in the hustle and bustle of the shop on Friday night and can’t wait until my next modeling gig.  🙂

The other day my friend Linda emailed me and asked me if I had made a Minion hat yet. I told her that I had kept seeing them on the internet but hadn’t yet made one, but was interested in doing so. So I looked it up on line; I found a video tutorial made by Super Crochet Mom you can see all of her videos on her Facebook page here. I used the hat pattern that I use with all of my other animal hats (designed by Repeatcrafterme) and then watched Super Crochet Mom’s videos to see how to place the eyes and the mouth. I decided to make the one eyed Minion first and I am in the middle of making an adult sized two eyed Minion right now. I loved how when I posted a photo of the Minion hat on Facebook I got orders for 10 hats. Isn’t social media great?

On Saturday I met up with my friend Linda to sit and visit with her and crochet a bit.

Linda is knitting a baby afghan and I loved the way her nails looked against the pretty pink yarn.

Another one of my friends Jennifer is a knitter, spinner, and she can also crochet. On Saturday she was winding her spun yarn from a bobbin onto that thing that makes it into a hank. (I forgot what she called it) I was fascinated with it and loved hearing all about how she spins the roving into yarn. Her yarn was beautiful and I enjoyed spending time with both Linda and Jennifer.

Then it was time for my crochet Cowl Class. I had so much fun meeting two new people along with seeing four familiar faces. Thanks Jeanine, Liz, Elaine, Dona, Jan, and Deb for making my job so easy. I loved seeing all the different fibers that everyone chose to use and hope I get to see your finished projects.

Sunday was a very cool rainy day. Very unlike the end of July, but I had a great day of cooking, crocheting, napping, cooking, and cooking some more. I couldn’t help but take photos of John as he was eating his hot peppers with his breakfast.

He had already eaten two red Serrano peppers before he started eating this little jalapeno pepper. The Serrano peppers didn’t seem to be hot to him. But this little jalapeno was certainly heating him up. I couldn’t resist taking pictures of him enjoying his pepper.

He was trying to explain to me where the heat starts and how it feels.

He was also telling me that after the heat starts you have to make sure that you shove a piece of food in your mouth.

Oh how John enjoys his hot peppers and almost always has to have one or more every meal. He makes me laugh! I feel blessed that I had a great weekend of spending time with new and old friends. How was yours? Did you get to spend it with friends? I would love to hear all about it.
