Strawberries!

Today Curtis and I went to the Strawberry Festival in Bellevue! Despite my sunburn, I had a lovely time.  There were all sorts of neat things to look at and live music and, of course, strawberries!  Curtis and I left with 12 pints of strawberries.  Not surprisingly, I am quite pleased.

We also got a caricature of us done (by Over the Line Productions). Since I forgot my camera (how could I possibly forget my camera?!?!) I think it's particularly fun to have. Check out Gumshoe Curtis and Femme Fatale Kristine!


I am a little uncertain as to the accuracy of our 1940's apparel, but whatever, it's still fun.

No camera also means I didn't get to take pictures of some of the things people were making for the festival.  I got a lot of neat ideas (without stealing others', I promise) just looking at the work that other people were doing. Knitted applique flowers on sewn handbags? I think so. Also, I've been thinking about making little knitted flowers to wear as hair accessories, but I wasn't quite sure how the best way to wear them would be. I was thinking of maybe wrapping them around bobby pins and gluing them in place (have I mentioned yet that I desperately want a glue gun?) but didn't think that was going to last very long. A woman at the festival knitted in a hair tie (rubber band thingy) into her flower. No glue, no pins, just a hair tie with a flower! Genius.

Apartment box countdown: 1 in the living room (small, full of cleaning supplies); 1 in the bedroom (small, full of things I don't know what to do with... my diploma??). That's it. So close! Curtis just has the curtain rod in the bedroom and a bathroom cabinet left to install and that's it! YouTube video of the apartment coming soon!
