I am making baby layettes in 6 different colors. Baby blue, mint green, pale pink, yellow, lavender and white are going to be my starter group for sales. I’ve seen a few others that I think will be cute, but I don’t want to overextend myself and get frustrated because I can’t finish in a…
Etsy Update
We have found that the TOS for Etsy will not allow me to sell the ornaments there. They are shutting down stores that are selling copyrighted patterns, and things made based on copyrighted patterns. There are still a lot of stores that are selling patterns that are in books that I have bought in the…
Halloween 2023
I chose my costume last month, and decided on a 1950s housewife. I already had a dress, and thought this will be fun and fairly easy. I ordered shoes that are not exactly right for the costume, but will be wearable at another time. I made a pearl necklace, because it is an absolute must-have…
Muddy Dash 2023 After
Well, this was a no-go. My ride canceled. Everyone said I should have gotten Jonathan to come and get me. The problem with that is Jonathan lives halfway between my place and the run. I don’t feel right asking him to do that, especially at the last minute. I don’t know if I mentioned in…
October
Well, another month come and gone. It is now October and I have a few things going on. I have the Muddy Dash on Saturday, then next weekend is the Art Fair at work. That Sunday I also have a memorial service to go to. A friend of mine passed away in June and the…
Caught Up?
I think I am caught up for the moment. I’m sure I’ll come up with something I forgot. Hopefully I keep up this time. I’ll put it on my to-do list 🙂
Halloween 2022 Steampunk
OK, here is everything all put together. I did my foundation make-up pale on purpose. It didn’t work the way I was hoping. But it was pretty cool
Steampunk Hat
I made the hat that went with the steampunk theme I decided on for Halloween. The first issue was printing the pattern. I printed it, and cut out the pieces of paper, laid them out on the EVA foam, cut that, and started to put it together. It was incredibly small. It fit in the…
Elf Hat
I made this for Christmas 2022. Everyone makes Santa hats, so I made an elf hat. It was cute, but I think I will change the bell next time. It gave me a headache. It banged on the back of the hat with every step, and the sound of the bell wasn’t what I was…
Baby Stuff
I have started crocheting again. Baby layettes. I found a pattern I really enjoy stitching, and am looking forward to selling these. It still gets complicated because of the heat down here making my hands sweat. The yarn sticks to my hands, and I can’t see selling something with my sweat all over it. The…
