Mt. Zion Craft Show and More=D


  Hello! I hope everyone is doing well! Things have been wonderful here in Tennessee, and homemaking has been keeping me very busy, which is great!
                 About a month ago we were told about a craft show at a BEAUTIFUL place called Mt. Zion, so since then we've been making things for it. My mom, sisters, and I started out by making eight shawls, then we each made some other smaller things to try to sell.
                  At first I had no ideas as to what to make, then my mom found the cutest pattern for tea cup pin cushions, so I made two of those, then altered the colors to make coffee and hot chocolate, they were SO much fun to make, and they worked up really quick!! After I finished those, I crocheted some doilies, I used leftover thread and made up my own patterns for them, and oh my cotton-fields, it was an absolute blast! =D
                   Today was the day of the craft show, we were able to meet and talk to different people in the community which was really nice. At the craft show there was a civil war reenactment. Mt. Zion is located right on Sugar Creek, and the last civil war battle that was fought in Tennessee was at Sugar Creek (or near it, I can't remember which), so that was pretty neat! The entire day was wonderful and now I feel pretty tired, we got to Mt. Zion a little after 7am and didn't leave until after 3pm, so it was a pretty long day. God has been blessing our efforts in homemaking and I'm looking forward to the future craft shows.
                    Even if absolutely nothing sold today I think I still would have had an amazing day, it was spent at a beautiful place talking and laughing with friends and family, and crocheting while doing so!!! My cotton-fields, I can't even begin to describe how much of a blessing today was.....Well, now it's time for me to figure out what to work on next! Have a blessed night!

I made this a little while ago for my mom's birthday

I worked on this doily while we were at Mt. Zion, then finished
it when we got home and gave it to my sister Tabitha

I made this doily before Mt. Zion, but couldn't part with it
because I loved it so much! =D
