Beard Team Ohio & Lady Jane

This weekend was filled once again with events, sickness and Highjinx.
Friday I went to an art show at Capital University and was pleasantly surprised to find that they have a really nice gallery with gorgeous collection.  It is called Schumacher Gallery and it is on the 4th floor of their library.  My friend Nicki was the highlighted as the postcard for the event and of course her work was present as well.  Unfortunately I was not in a high photo mood so the only picture I took were of these worm eaten looking close ups of this one sculpture.

After that we headed to What the Rock?! for their 5th anniversary of the store.  I got some amazing Edward Gorey Tarot cards and won a raffle! (Which I still need to pick up).

We drove around town and trying to kill sometime before my friends Show for My Kid Sister. This when we came up the name for my unmoving backseat passenger. Lady Jane.  Because I already have so many mannequins in the house I was told she was not allowed inside that house.  So Lady Jane sits in my back seat as a silent  companion until I can figure out what to do with her.   The night ended at Jury room sharing some fried Gnocchi and Meatballs.

Saturday However was an evening of volunteering for Beard Team Ohio for their event "Ohio's Second Charity Beard and Mustache Competition and Festival, "Beards of Science"" On the down side I wasn't feeling totally ship shape so once again not so many photos.  I was being the most lazy photographer ever.  I waved people down to come to me and I stood on my car instead of going out into the crowd.   It was appropriately held at COSI.

 After Looking at the pictures afterwards I noticed that this one Spelled Ohio in his beard!

This Lion Mask was my favorite thing at the event

After several hours of doing ticket sales and not enough food or proper food I wasn't feeling so hot.  So home I went to relax with some home cooked Korean food and Ponyo.

Sunday I laid low of the most part uber stressing on my letter of Intent for Grad school application and made some new colors of bubble scarves for the upcoming Crafty Supermarket!  

Movember

This is the month of Mustaches (well facial hair in general) and raising money for Prostate Cancer.  It is going on nationwide.  The first of this months events that I went to was at Junctionview Studios (yes I go there a lot, it's a favorite).  The theme was of course mustaches in art.

My friend Daric was there representing his work (Toehead's) and having a little bit of horseplay with us.  It was a fun and intimate show. 

The next Bearded event I will be attending is this weekend for Beard Team Ohio. It is Ohio's Second Beard & Moustache Competition and Festival. I'll be there as a volunteer helping out where ever they need me. It's not so much that I have a love for the Facial hair as my friend Beth does.  I just like to pay with fake mustaches whenever there is an opportunity. 


Sorry there still isn't a lot on the fashion/craft front for this blog but it's hard when you are in the moment to remember to take some photos to document everything.  I did a fitting this weekend for a friend on a coat I am soon making for her using her own wool that she felted herself.  I also taught myself some smocking stitches and how to use a pleater machine while watching approx 8-10 hours of Buffy the Vampire Slayer yesterday, or as my husband and I like to call it "We spent the day Slaying".
