A very special cousin of my just celebrated her birthday and when I saw a picture of her cake it brought back some good memories of my favorite cake that my Gran used to make for me. It was a lemon sponge cake with lemon frosting. All homemade of course.
My cousin's cake was an angel food cake and I have memories of my Aunt making that one for me also.
Food can bring so many good and happy memories of birthdays, Christmas, holidays or just plain family parties.
Would like to know what some of your favorite food memories are.

Monsoon RC Airplanes
Want to say a welcome to Monsoon RC airplanes to his first blog. Ok, so he is my husband and I am proud of him and his company.
After many years of radio control flying, he is now designing and selling radio control electic airplanes.
I also sell his planes at craft shows since they are homemade and we may set up an Etsy account for him.
In the meantime check out his website and blog.

Craft Applications
It is the middle of January and time to start sending in those craft show applications for this summer. Some of them give you a little price break if you send them in early enough.
That means that we really have to get all those craft projects done for the shows that we said we were going to do this winter.
My plan was to have at least 300 crocheted top towels ready for spring and I might not make it to quite that amount. The big problem is finding affordable towels to crochet.
I plan to book about 15 shows this year and hope that passing out business cards to all will send more people into my Etsy, my website and my Zibbet store.
Are you already booking shows and how many are you going to do this summer?

Morning
Love making my towels but now I am off to looking for new ideas to go with my towels. Making some crocheted dish cloths to go with them.
It is fun to google new craft ideas and look in craft magazines. I was lucky enough to get a new craft magazine subscription for Christmas from a special cousin and now look forward to new ideas from there.
Where do you go to get new ideas? Do you venture far out from what you normally do?
Would love to hear what inspires you to come up with new and creative and hopefully sellable ideas.
