How are the dolls coming along? I am almost finished with mine. I thought the face would be the hardest to do, but it turned out the outfit is harder for me. I knitted a dress but it made my doll look fat, so I am trying to sew. Yikes!
Diana sent several emails about the dolls, the stands, and the exhibits. She and Linda are willing to each make a trip to get the doll stands so they will be uniform. They want the 7 1/2 inch white stand. The cost is $2.25 at Joanne's, and slightly higher at Michael's at $2.79 plus tax. If your Icon is such that it does not need a stand (i.e. Karen's Stevie Wonder is sitting at a piano) that is fine. They need a total of how many to purchase. So email Diana back if you want them to get you one asap.
Bring your icon to Cabin fever right before the Art Walk on Thursday 6/11 by 5 or 5:15 OR make arrangements with Diana before then.
Diana has also sent off the state fair entry. If anyone who is making a icon for the Art Walk does not wish to have her icon at the State Fair for several weeks, please let her know.
Kingvale/Truckee Road Trip
At Diana's Icon Workshop, 12 ladies signed up to carpool to Teri's summer place in Kingvale. I have heard from two more since then. If you plan to go but not carpool with us, please let me know so we know how many to expect. It's still early, so carpool arrangements will be prepared later. Teri has written a very nice flyer that will be emailed to everyone soon. There's going to be games and prizes! She would also like to take a group picture with our Knotty Knitter shirts on, so 4 weeks should be enough time to workout to fit into them again (hee hee).
Yarn Shop Hop 2009 & Tahoe Knitting Cruise
The shop hop is this week. Teri sent information from the Lake Tahoe Yarn Co owner who wrote: "I guess the most exciting event coming is the SHOP HOP. I've already had people in the shop who are doing a dry run. Holy Moly!! That's some serious yarn shopping.LOL I have flyers about the event at the shop and the passports ( The important item you must have ) will arrive soon. Remember, it's from June 3-7. There are shops in Auburn, Grass Valley, Elk Grove, Placerville, Modesto and Sacramento. It should be a fun 5 days. If your shopping with the hop be sure to mention it because there are discounts for the Hopper. I'm offering 10% off plus all the drawings. Remember to check your email the day before, there will be a coupon for just my store. It a drawing for just those of you on the email list for $50.00."
She also wrote that there is a "Tahoe Knitting Cruise and Book Signing Saturday July 18th, 12:30 pm at the Lighthouse Shopping Center. 3 1/2 hour cruise to Emerald Bay. Please call to sign up for the cruise and let me know at that time if you need a book, "Faith, Hope Love,Knitting."
