So it is with a slightly wistful sigh that I post the following, knowing that none of you reading this could possibly act on this information.
Our (Lutheran) church is having a Harvest Festival on Saturday! It's like a Halloween carnival, minus the costumes, plus a severely authentic Oktoberfest meal. Seriously -- they have already been marinating the sauerbraten for 5 days at the time of this writing. There will be carnival games, a giant cardboard maze in the gym, a quilt raffle, a silent auction, live music, the German food (and beer), and craft booths!

Craft booths is plural there, but I'm not actually sure if anyone will have one besides me. I think the church ladies were doing a collective one or something. I kind of assume the crowd will be small and not so spendy, so I'm not planning on raking in the cash or anything, but it's still very exciting and a little nerve-wracking. These people don't know me very well, and they certainly don't know about the seriousness nor the sheer quantity of my crafting. But they will very soon. Yikes! Just kind of exposing, ya know?
In other news, the Bible study I attend got together to make a basket for the silent auction. We had so much stuff it turned into two baskets. And by "turned into", I mean that I kind of just took over and decided what would go where and what it would look like and how it should be. First-born. Although I usually find that people are happy to delegate.

That's right, I named them and may or may not have typed up and printed out a list of the contents of each basket on nice cardstock with a fancy font. Ahem.
