Things have been a bit hectic and a whole lot of fun as of late.  I got to go to the Wisconsin State Fair twice! I went the first time for opening day for $2 for donating canned goods.  I went that day because it was really the only non weekend day that my hubby could go before he started his new job (which was this Monday.)  While I was there I saw 2 booths that sold exclusively dog stuff, and one had corgi things in almost everything they sold! In the end I got to get a corgi hand towel and a corgi flag.   They were soooo cute!
I ended up having to go again to the State Fair because it was dog day on Monday, the day he started work. So my mother decided to go with me. :)  There were no corgis there, sadly, but there were some basenjis, many cute malmutes, a Great Pyrnees, and some hillarious greyhounds in swimsuits. There were also TONS of German Shepherds there. They had coursing, dog dock diving, and a doggy wedding.  They actually had multiple dog weddings, but I really couldn't handle both the Elvis impersonator and  the bad microphone at the same time.

There were some impressive jumps, and some funny, why would I jump if there's a ramp right there? :)
  There was a street fair on Friday I got to go to, and it seems like everyone and their dog were out (happy happy joy joy!)

I also got to eat at a Friday's at Miller Park Saturday and got to go to the Bristol Renaissance festival on Sunday.  Sadly the Bristol Ren Faire doesn't allow dogs like the MN one does, but I digress, it was a blast even if it was very hot.  I got the last item to complete my garb.
I'm the elf.  I got a Felix bodice after pining over bodices made by that shop for 7 years.  I've been told that I now look like Dark (evil) Zelda.  Somehow, that just makes me giddy.  Either way, even with the rain it was tons of fun and I get to go back Labor Day weekend!

Finally, now with hubby working again, I've got my ambition back to do projects.  I remade his Aperture Laboratories mug after it got thoroughly shattered after the latest set of moves.



It's not perfect, but considering it's not done by a machine I'd say it's not half bad. The last image is the original one that I tried to Gorilla glue back together that shifted during the bonding process.
And then I turned Nyan corgis into an apron.  I'm debating on selling it.  I probably will, but that would be after I set up the new site. I'm thinking of moving from Etsy to a different site that doesn't charge listing fees.  Either that, or I will pop that and a few other items into a friend's actual brick and mortar shop. I have to make more items before I decide.
