another week rolls 'round

i am currently half way through the hearts throw and the victorian holiday throw. i will post pictures soon- i have almost one full strip on the victorian throw done- it's enough for a teaser :)

'only the good' friday

hard to believe another friday has rolled around :) and this is the friday before our thanksgiving here in america. i want to take a moment to be thankful for the folks who read my blog and appreciate the time and energy it takes to create what i do. and i am thankful that there are so many creative folks out there with immense talent. thank you for making the world a bit more beautiful.

i have the heartsy throw well under way and i am working the victorian throw- the foundation for it. i lost track of time this week- but i did manage to send out the sunflower throw to its new owner. :) i will be working and keeping pictures up as best i can as i go along. thanks again to everyone who has helped me on the path to success. :)

yeah!!!!

i have made my first sale on etsy- and i am thrilled :) the sunflowers throw has a new home and it will make way for newer projects that i will be working on. thanks again!!!

and for everyone out there reading- take a peek at my etsy shop- good stuff happening there :)

new, new, new

i am new to the world of etsy and selling online- and i am sure that there are many folks who are buyers who are new to it also- so i thought i would research a bit and put some info out there. i went into the etsy forums and many of the sellers and buyers there are so helpful- i put very good info on the sidebar. i know it helped me know what i was looking for and how.

so, 2009 is winding down and it's time for me to start thinking about projects for 2010- i have a half dozen or so i am mulling around in my mind- and i actually have yarn for like 3 of them. i really want to get using some eco friendly yarns- by that i mean natural fibers as opposed to the plastics. the projects are going to have to be small ones- as those yarns tend to be way more expensive. so, it will be newer territory for me this upcoming year :) i still have acrylic yarn to use up- so, expect to see some interesting stitches soon :)

i am currently working on a throw with colors i normally don't pick for myself- i really love blues :) in case you couldn't tell. so, here are some of the squares i am working at- the heartsy throw...

etsy day

i think that i am going to have to set aside one day a week to go through the ideas that i get in my email from etsy. i have to buckle down and really get promoting my site- time to strike while the iron is hot! during holiday season :) i really should be less lax about updating the pictures and promoting my wares. i have never been good at sales. when i was in school, my mom ended up buying a bunch of the crap we had to sell. the candy bars were pretty good :)

monday, monday

the official start of my week- i need to regroup and get myself back together. the holidays are around the corner, and although we don't go all out, i have packages to ready and menus to prepare. plus, i want to get working on the hearts throw i am working on- and plan projects for 2010. i hope to have the hearts throw ready for february :) it should be pretty- pinks, purples, burgundies- and a welcome change from blue and white :) will have pics up after i clean up from the craft fair debacle :)

something in the air

the craft show was a bust- but i don't feel badly because i wasn't the only one. lookie lous instead of buyatrons. so, i wasted 6 hours and and an entry fee today. sigh. but, the good news is- i still have stock for the holidays- because although i have 2 projects in the works- i am not that fast :) take a peek at my etsy shop- i added the retro ripple to the arsenal. namaste.
