I Have Not Forgotten

But I have been busy. I've been working on some new techniques, enjoying some patterns for some gift work and just generally being busy. I have a "day job" now, but I don't forsee that taking time away from my dream because I plan to make time for it. When my children are small I want to be there.

Pictures to follow tomorrow.

I Can Get Paid Now!!!

I just signed up for a Paypal account just for my Etsy. I figured if I'm really serious about this, and I feel that I am, that I need to do it correctly from the beginning. I'm SO exciting and happy about this. Now I have to figure out if I want to open a new checking account with my credit union and have the Paypal run straight to there or if I want to get a debit card for this Paypal account. I feel like I should leave the debit card when I need to buy supplies and then just funnel profits into my savings. We'll see how it works out.

There's No Pleasing People

So I have a friend and then an acquaintance. Both of them are unexpectedly pregnant. I know one was looking for greens and browns, basically going for a jungle kind of theme. The other one I wasn't too sure about. However I know that her husband is really into football and that he loves when the kids get team gear. She plays into it too, not as much as him though.

One of them is a really great friend and the other one makes things for other people's babies all of the time. So I thought it'd be really cool to make baby bath sets for both of them. Some washcloths and a hooded towel. The washcloths are working up quick and easy and I'm thinking the towels will go the same.

But I've hit a snag. The one who's husband is really into football said she hopes she doesn't get too much gear because it'll get old quick. I've already ordered the yarn in the team's colors.

I'm undecided as to whether or not she's gonna get the set in the team colors or if I'll put it in my shop and work up something else for her.

This is the trouble with surprise gifts.

Welcome!

So. I am a crafter. I want to start selling my items. As I do with most things in life, I'm bloggin' it out.


Uhm, I have SO many questions and thoughts and ideas. I'm really looking forward to getting into them here and sprucing this place and my shop and and just having some fun!
