Saturday through Monday
Jun. 15th, 2009 09:56 pmOur first time at the farmers market this season went pretty well, all things considered. We remembered almost everything and we got set up on time.
Then L had to go back home to continue work on the weekend migration, which had started to get interesting on Friday and continues to be so today. We stayed home from kungfu on Friday because of it in fact, although we did go to class today as the timing was all right for it today.
Traffic at the market was medium to lowish, but nice folks and some good chats. The guest crafters next to me (we mostly do food but have a guest non-food vendor at each of the weekends) make pants and skirts for babies to kids age 5, from "a combination of vintage, donated, re-purposed & new fabric" -- all sorts of funky fabric combos. I'm going to go through my fabric stash and see about liberating some stuff for them. I still have a lot of cotton, which they seem to use a lot of, and they can use anything from a yard or so down to small scraps (accent pockets, etc.)
I chatted for a while with a nice young lady who's interested in learning to spin -- I had some spinning with me of course -- I joked that I'd hypnotized her with the spinning and that's why she stayed as long as she did to talk ;) She's a student at Double Edge Theatre; I have piddling theatre background but we talked about all sorts of things, including baronial courts (sort of semi-structured improv). So I'll be bringing some extra spinning stuff for the next few weeks, for whenever she can make it to the market again, and we'll have a go at spinning.
Got in some gardening Saturday and Sunday. More strawberries, and the second sowing of oats is up. Strawberry smoothies last night, of our strawberries and the local farm's yogurt :)
Couldn't make it to the stencilling workshop or the Pennsic prep meeting Sunday :( Too much work.
Kungfu class tonight was good. We did some work on tantiao, finishing the move with jumps and kicks -- my kicks are um... well, something to work on. We finished learning Yiluchuan. Now more practice! We'd gone outside for that part of class, and it started sprinkling part way through -- youngest fellow in our section commented on it, but the rest of us were fine with it and he dealt with it. Besides, I don't know about him but I was already soaked from sweat, so the rain was rather pleasant and refreshing!
