Kent’s cousin, Nancy, is as crafty as they come. We have the best time when we’re together! Look what she made, tonight! I love this candy cane covered can!

Start Your Own Arts and Crafts Business!
I am taking this online class through my local community college and Ed2Go: http://www.ed2go.com/wilkescc/online_course/acb/syllabus/Start_Your_Own_Arts_and_Crafts_Business.html I am on the second lesson, and already the class has more than paid for itself($75!) I have learned several things I needed to know in order to make “Mama’s House” and “Karla Krafts” a reality. For example, I already know where I need to file my DBA (Doing Business As) and how much the filing fee is. I’ve followed links to more information than I can make use of right now. I have been given some invaluable advice, too. I am a happy crafter!

American Craft Week
Apparently, we are in the middle of the third annual American Craft Week, celebrating crafts made in the USofA! There are special events planned at craft shops and venues across the nation. This bears further investigation!

The Brushy Mtn. Apple Festival was Super!
and the weather was spectacular! I took these photos from the hilltop upon which the N. Wilkesboro Post Office sits:
The Brushy Mtn. Apple Festival is held annually the first Saturday in October in downtown N. Wilkesboro, NC. Yesterday was the 33rd Festival. I’ve not missed a one even when relatives got married (I went before or after, with my hair sprayed as hard as a brown football helmet! ) Here’s a link: http://www.applefestival.net/
There’re craft vendors, entertainment (bluegrass lovers rejoice,) and lots and lots of food! While I do love a good fried apple pie, the best thing I ate yesterday was a funnel cake smothered in cream cheese frosting and topped with strawberries!
