I really thought that I've posted more recently than July. Maybe I just think up things and think about posting it and then never getting around to it. Tonight I'm on-line perusing (I hope I spelled that right!). I had a sell on Etsy and decided to look around and see what was out there. You know, finding stuff I would love to buy if I were a little bit richer....Okay, just a couple dollars richer would do! Anyway, I found this Cowl that was $118.00. I couldn't believe it. Don't get me wrong. This lady is a hand crafter. She knits and crochets. So I'm more than sure she deserves to get that amount for her product. I guess I was just shell shocked because I'm a knitter and a crocheter and I have hand crocheted throws that I haven't asked that much for. I need to get in gear! I know what product she used to make her cowl so that was the more shocking. I guess what I'm trying to say here is I'M NOT CHARGING ENOUGH!
Okay, now that I have gotten that out of my system...
What I've been up to: I'm still knitting and crocheting. More crocheting now than anything. I have found that crocheting doesn't hurt my shoulder as much as knitting does and I can sit down and crochet for two hours straight without feeling pain whereas knitting I have to quit and rest after a half hour. I've even tried holding my needles a different way and it still doesn't help.
I've been crocheting/knitting at home, with my friend Kristie when I can and with my Etsy girls. I say that because so far only females have joined the knitting group and they have been only Etsy Team Columbus members. We try to get together every two weeks but sometimes with everyone having something going on we try to get together when we can.
I have also been reading a lot. Physical reading. I listen to books on CD all the time at work and in the car but I have found some books (lots of books) aren't necessarily on CD so I've also been reading at home. I've most recently finished reading a couple of books by Nora Roberts - which I need to update my Goodreads account. I've also read some books about UFOs - Hello tonight, new season, Ancient Aliens on the History Channel, 10 PM. {I love to promote things I love!}
My house is still a work in progress. I'm working between my bedroom and my craft room. It's hard to say which room needs the most cleaning and organizing but they both affect me a lot so I want them both done NOW!
Oh, and I walked in the Strides Against Breast Cancer walk on Sunday. It was a beautiful day and I was able to walk with friends so what more can I say!
I'm trying to dream up new products to make. I've been looking through magazines to get my next project. I have vowed to make one nice thing for myself every 6 months or so. You can't knit, crochet and even sew all the time without doing something for yourself.
That's all for now. I need to save something to post for tomorrow, or Saturday or Sunday....... :-)
