Ariel had been happy to hear from Mia again. She always liked seeing the other woman, and the offer to not only share a booth (something she'd wanted, but she hadn't been sure she'd had enough to justify affording on her own) but also a request to help out with things to sell to fundraise for the shelter.

she had several quick and easy ideas to contribute for stuff they could easily make to sell at the festival. Given a little more time,s he'd probably be able to do more elaborate things, but she had a few things they could whip up in a short period of time.

She knocked cheerfully on Mia's door, a couple of bags full of things over her arm, and more in the truck if they needed it. It was fun to get to do this sort of thing every so often.

Taking a moment to fix her ponytail before hurrying to the door, she stopped in the entryway to toss a quick look over her shoulder into the dining room, making sure everything was out and in easy reach without being cluttered. Grandmother's sewing machine sat on the table, boxes of thread nearby, while two of the chairs had been pulled out, each seat holding a large Rubbermaid container full past the brim of neatly folded fabric. Leaving work a little early really had been the best decision, in retrospect -- the stash of material and all the related odds-and-ends had turned out to be bigger than she had anticipated or than Maggie had remembered, and it had taken the better part of forty minutes to go through everything, taking pictures of the pieces her sister couldn't remember so she could have a visual reminder. By the end, she had mentally added a webcam to her list of possible wishes for gifts, but after repacking all that Maggie wanted to keep, she had pared it down to two containers' worth that were definitely being kept, and ( ... )

"I am balanced, taking anything off me at this point will knock me right over," Ariel said with a laugh, though it wasn't quite true. She tossed her head to get her hair to flop back out of her eyes--silly wind--and walked inside. "I brought a bunch of stuff to run by you. I kept getting ideas, goodness! I haven't been on an idea tear in like, forever. I've got some random fabrics and scraps, stuff I can't really use unless I want to make a patchwork quilt or something, and I don't have all my quilting things back yet," she chattered back at Mia.

She smiled. "No, I haven't eaten, I just walked the dogs right quick and grabbed the stuff and ducked out to here," she said. She hadn't expected to be fed, but it was a bonus, definitely. She didn't feel as bad about it as she might once would have, especially since they were going to be working on stuff for Mia's shelter. "Need me to lend a hand right quick?" she said after she had set everything carefully down, brushing her hair back with a hand this time.

"Hey, no, ideas are good," she agreed, showing Ariel in, after closing and locking the door behind her. "My sister gave me a few of those to pass along, and I found some things on-line that I thought I could show you. Maybe you'll find something you might like to sell for yourself, or just do as a craft that you can give away as presents." Turning into the dining room, and scooping Holly off the table before she went sniffing into anything, she grinned over the little black ears at the other woman. "I brought a pad of paper and a pen out too, in case you wanted to sketch anything, or just take notes as you got ideas. This little beastie is Holly, and Jane is around somewhere, too. Possibly still napping. Nice life, huh ( ... )
