A note

I'm running a 35% off sale this weekend if anyone wants to take a peek.

I want to start finding new homes for things, so I can cave to this need I feel to start Making Christmas stuff. Is it too early for that?

Christmas before last, I got hit with a ton of custom orders and couldn't keep up. Then last Christmas I had to turn people away because I was in transition. So this year I want to make up for that. I love working with people and making what they want, it always gives me that warm fuzzy feeling inside, and that's addictive.

Making plans and trying to rebuild

The move in went smoothly. Still unpacking boxes from storage, but I'll get there.

My computer was the first casualty of the move. I got a new one from my dad's best friend (THANKS B). But have no clue how I'm going to pay for this awesome machine that I've been blessed with, my daddy and him won't tell me exactly what I owe. They think that's funny, daddy changes the subject every time I ask. I want to start making payments, B did me a solid and I want to make good on it.

I went through my claying supplies. They didn't fair well in the move either. The clay that I stored is now ruined (not what I was hoping for). And I didn't get to take a lot of my tools with me, to the tune of over $200 in stuff I will have to replace. So any clay work is going to be put off for a while.

On a good note, the crochet hooks I had for over 25 years have now reappeared. I thought they had gotten left behind, but they were in the bottom of the last box I had. I'm so thankful that I found them. It gave me the feeling that everything is going to be ok, my world is going to get back to normal and the way I like it again.

So, I can once again crochet my little heart out. I like that. I can crochet and never have to watch my fingers, they know what to do, leaving me to watch TV or chat with the family.

Been a bit hung up on what to crochet tho, that can be a problem. Then the other day, I started having this major urge to do Christmas items. Is it too early to start doing Christmas items? My heart is telling me to just do it, but then a small voice says it's so early. I love doing Christmas stuff and get overwhelmed every year with custom orders for stuff. Maybe I will go ahead and start, then I might actually be a bit ahead this year.

Sorry for the long drawn out post. I'm just really happy to once again be in a creative friendly environment. And to be able to do what I want, when I want. I can't tell you how wonderful it feels.

Recovering from my move

It's been a real pain. My 59 year old dad and I did it all by ourselves without help. So we could both use some pampering items. Enjoy.


This Healing Therapy Tote from mtmoonlightbe could be just what the doctor ordered.


I absolutely love the scent of Rosemary. This mist from Faith_Works sounds fabulous. I can already smell it.


I could use a little clarity. So this Mental Clarity Aromatherapy roll on from maninthemoonherbs could be just the thing.

PS- If anyone wants to send me any of these fabulous items as an apartment warming gift, all are welcome, lol. Just kiddin'...well, maybe not.

Furniture for my new apartment

I thought these would be nice for the new place I just love unique, handmade furniture. As always, clicking on the pics will open the item pages.


This Ritual Table from Wooditis would be perfect for my spider plant to sit on. Just the right size. And it's a gorgeous table.


I just love the look of this table from ButtonDogArtworks. I know how much goes into wood items. And this one is just awesome.

I moved

It's been a long couple of weeks. I moved on the spur of the moment, but I'm so glad it happened. I just got the internet hooked up and I'm looking forward to spending 80% of my time on my store and new items.

I will be updating more often now. Just give me a couple of days to finish unpacking a few more boxes.

Layaways???

I just wanted to know if anyone still does these? I have done them 3 times in the past, got burned twice (they changed their minds).

I've been asked by 2 people now if I would do a layaway plan for them, but I'm a bit hesitant.

Input would be greatly appreciated.

Moving sale for month of June

Well, it looks like the end of June I'll be moving.

I've been staying with my sister and she hates this apartment, so she's moving to another one. I'll be moving with her.

So I've marked everything in my store down by 25%. I'm really hoping to lighten the moving load a bit.



Right now, my time is being spent packing up boxes for my sis while she's at work. Gosh, who knew you could pack so much in such a little apartment???

Have a great day.
