Fun Stuff I’ve Done Lately
Mr. Martini and I have done some fun things in the past few weeks. 1. We went to the Derby City Comic Con: I wish I had $500 to spare, just so I could buy see just how weird those tales are. 2. We attended a baseball game – The Louisville Bat at Slugger Field [...]

Visitors!
Sorry for the radio silence around these parts! My awesome parents came up for a visit, so I was in a whirlwind of getting ready for them (including cleaning the house top to bottom, sewing new pillows, sewing a quilt, making preserves, etc. etc.) and then actually enjoying our time together. So while it may seem [...]

Break for the Beach

KY State Fair – My Recap
On Friday, I took the day off and went to the Kentucky State Fair. Mr. Martini and I had a great time. There was food (including fried green tomatoes, a lamb sandwich, and more we’ll get to later). But for me, the main objective was to see my knitting entries in the display case. Like [...]

Headed to the Fair
I just submitted my entry form to this year’s Kentucky State Fair. Whee! I didn’t end up submitting anything last year, using “Oh, I want to at least see one fair before I submit something” as an excuse. This year, I have no excuse, so I submitted my entry form online today. I’ve entered two [...]
