Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: Sixth Weekend

My last three day weekend! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: This year has been weird to boot. The weather felt like it was the first weekend, not the sixth. We always do better sales when it’s cooler, so that’s a disappointment. It did get a bit chilly on Monday, but it […]

Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: Fifth Weekend

I never thought I’d say this, but I am ready to be done at the Renaissance Festival. Sure, I am trying to enjoy my last few days out there, because it is enjoyable! This last weekend was just full of really belligerent people (including one very nasty cop), and I know a lot of it […]

The Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: Fourth Weekend

Welcome back to your regularly scheduled block of Renaissance Festival Madness™. I need to talk about my spinning this week. You may recall a breed study I wanted to partake in over the summer, and then life got the better of me. Well, no time like the present. I grabbed the Shetland and went out […]

KC Yarn Crawl

I didn’t win anything, but it’s about the yarn purchases I made along the way! If you are unfamiliar with the KC Yarn Crawl, it involved four local shops all bringing out their best exclusive colorways, fibers, and designs. Of course, I had to participate in some capacity, but I was unsure at first with […]

The Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: Third Weekend

This weekend was particularly trying. Not only was it hot, but I had to move. I wasn’t even out there Saturday. Luckily, my mom was able to go in my place. What I found particularly funny about this was when I asked my mom if anything of note happened for the blog, she shrugged and […]

The Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: Second Weekend

The second weekend at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival is typically the worst. It’s usually boiling hot, and it usually lines up with the opening weekend of football. Both of which were true this year, but for whatever reason, it wasn’t so bad! I don’t know if I’m seeing it through the rosy glasses of […]

The Final Adventures at the Ren Fest: First Weekend

We’re back! Even as we still face down a pandemic, I have to say it was so nice to be out there again. Maybe that’s because, as many as you know, this will be Wolf ‘n’ Sheep’s Clothing last season at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Many people have told me I could find another […]

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Obviously, it’s not the winter holidays (but that is a close second). Fall is the best season: harvesty foods, hot drinks, hoodies, spooky times, and, of course, the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. We are returning to an in-person event, even in the face of a literal plague. While I am worried, I’m also excited. I […]

Off the Rails

The Yarn Social Summer Vacation is coming to an end, and I’m stuck on the side of the road hitchhiking somewhere… Did I bite off more than I could chew with the biggest road trip? I did. Am I sad or regretful of that? I am not. It wouldn’t have been any fun for me […]

Relocating the Stash

Because as the saying goes: “Home is where the stash resides.” I am moving. It’s really great ’cause I will be closer to work, really close to some good friends, and walking distance from some of my favorite shops and restaurants (including a certain local yarn shop…) It’s really not great because moving stresses me […]
