Do you know what a Knap-In is?
It’s a festival of Flint Knappers, people who make stone tools such as spear points and knives.
Click HERE to read more about it!
This festival took place at the Silver River State Park and was so interesting with exhibits and demonstrations.
We had a wonderful day!
(this was last weekend! Today was more of a 'nap in’ kind of day…rainy and cool!)
I’m joining Mary at the dear little red house
for Mosaic Monday! I hope you’ll join us!
And here’s a sneak peek at some fabric I’m using for a new wristlet.
It will be in my shop this week!

Diane, That is some interesting post! I posted some pictures from antique show, come see it, please. I love your fabric. Have a good week!
What an interesting post, I have seen the tools but I did not know about Knap-In. Looks like a fun festival and I see a Goldie dog there that could pass as my Goldie Girl's twin. Thanks for sharing, have a great week!
I'm glad you explained that or I would've showed up with my blankie :D
Hello Diane
Sounds like a wonder knap festival and today, I did like you did and took a nap.
Hope you have a great week.

Enjoy St. Patrick's Day. Diane, the abbreviation for Patrick is Paddy or Pat. Paddy is a common name in Ireland.
(Patti is the abbreviation for the girl's name Patricia).

That is really pretty fabric for your wristlet!
Interesting Knap-in. After my busy couple of weeks, I am in the mood for a long nap-in :)
I wish we could have something like this in my place too. Have a great day name mate!
It was perfect 'Nap In' weather. Thanks for educating me on the two!!

Reading blogs is so much fun but especially when I learn something truly interesting...great post!
Very cool festival, never heard of this! Interesting skills. Pretty picture of the sky.
What a great weekend. Even the dog looks like he is having a grand time. Enjoy your day in and rest up for another week...smiles..Renee
Thanks for visiting my little blog project and commenting about the tundra swans.
Looks like we both had interesting days last week with your Knap-In and my swans - how diverse is blogging!
Diane, you always find the neatest places to go. I checked out your wristlets, very pretty. For me, it's always a big bag so my camera and pretty much the kitchen sink can travel along.

I never heard of a "Knap-in" so i learned something new this evening, Diane.
Thank you for teaching me a new term!
You always have the best adventures. Have a lovely week ahead.
You all always check out such cool places! Looks like a great outing.
Hi Diane, I've never heard of a "Knap-In, very interesting. I love the photos of the festival. It looks like something I would enjoy too and I would love to take my little grandson there. I see lots he would love to see. I sure know all about the nap-in. Your rainy cool day is perfect for this. Beautiful fabric you are using for your wristlet. Can't wait to see!
Hope you have a great week

I'm only familiar with a nap-in :)
Diane, only YOU could find a Knap-In!!! You find the neatest and most unusual places to go! I, on the other hand, probably would have found a Nap-In with no problem!!! :)
How interesting! I never knew about it till now so thanks for the info...Christine
I adore chocolate and turquoise...sigh. That is going to be one cute wristlet.
Never knew that there were people who made flints...hmmm.
