Birthday Part Two..

Today my best friend took me out for lunch at The Red Lobster as a birthday gift.. I had a wonderful dish of lobster, shrimp, tomatoes and asparagus cooked in a white wine and butter sauce over linguini.. mmmm.. it was good.. Then we did some shopping.. and I got a bunch of fall and Halloween towels to top and put up for sale.. smile.. guess that will keep me busy.. I am going to be busy this weekend.. with alot of running around and holidays stuff.. hope to have some pictures soon.. sorry things have been slow.

Happy Birthday to Me!!

It was my birthday today.. and I didnt really do anything work related..smile..it was a nice day.. went out.. got my hair cut, spent some time in my garden, and with my boyfriend.. he made me a nice chicken dinner with wine, and even a CAKE..smile.. so yes, it was a nice day.. more tomorrow.

Just not catching up.. smile.

Well... I had hoped to have pictures for you.. but unfortunely just didnt have time to do them.. it took longer than I expected to pack all my orders (a few got paid last night).. then I had to work on my slippers.. I will definitely have them done then..

Contest!!

Hi.. sorry I didnt get here today.. I was really busy with cleaning out my craft room (organizing stuff and finding more items to put up for sale.. oh my.. ).. so I decided to make up for it.. and have a contest.. drop me a note on here.. (has to be on my blog!!).. and I will raffle off this item for a prize.. This contest will end on Monday..

This is one of my freebies you could get from buying two or more items from my Old & New Shoppe -

Brooch – knitted pattern

This pattern would also be a great toy for a kitty.. by itself. or attached to a pole.. smile..

Just Wasn't A Good Day..

After I had finished all my computer work, my boyfriend told me to look at one of our cats because she wouldnt eat (which for her was very unusual).. checked her over and thought.. she really is having problems swallowing.. so had to make a slurry of baby food and Pedialyte (only thing I had in the house) and had to force feed her (she was dehydrated a bit too).. so spent my evening, trying to crochet in between feedings.

This am, I took her in.. and yep.. her mouth was really infected and her throat swollen, so they kept her.. Guess they had to pull a bunch of teeth (dont know how many cos I didnt talk to my Vet).  Well, that all threw my day off.  I had shopping to do.. and alot of running around to get done also.. so I didnt have time to take any photos of my newest project. Guess you will all have to wait until tomorrow.. For tonight I am going to relax and crochet because I have another busy day tomorrow and Saturday.

I am working on a pair of duckie slippers.. here is a picture of ones I made previously. I am not making the toy.. just the duckie slippers..

Latest pictures of my project

Well.. I got done with the first pair of slippers for kids for the sale I will be doing in Oct (more about that in a later message).. I still have the eyes and nose to put on... still deciding which way I want to do them.. I dont want to use removable eyes since these are for young kids.. so I am left with sewing or paint.. which do you think I should use?

I am now working on a pair of yellow duckie ones.. smile.. got one slipper part done.. and should be starting the second one tonight.

Today I just was so busy.. had alot of veggies to pick and put in the freezer.  I now am doing that every other day.. smile. anyways.. I made a pot of chicken veggie soup (leftover chicken that I boiled yesterday with alot of my veggies from my garden and leftovers in the frig with noodles).. we had that for lunch.  For dinner it will be meatloaf (ground turkey), pierogies, and salad from my garden.. that is cooking now... 

Ebay is doing a special so I can put more items up (in most cases, just reup them).. so that has to be on my list for today also.. Cant say I am bored with life.. lol.. talk to you all tomorrow.. who knows. maybe more pictures too. 

Just Love My Tuesday..

A fellow blogger gave me a wonderful write up on her blog.. smile.. please check it out!!

http://visualeyescosmetics.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-cats-meow.html

It was a nice thing to see when I got on my emails.. smile.

Well.. my day is been a rather boring day.. just the usual.. gardening.. picked tomatoes.. folded clothes, did some straightening up.. worked on some sales stuff.. just the usual things I do.. every day..

We did watch a nice movie yesterday.. Trepass with Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman.. I have to say it kept me on my seat.. it was even hard to crochet while watching it.. we watched it on our Roku.. on Netflix.. anyone else got a Roku.. or Netflix.. I tell you.. it was one of the best things we bought.. we basically cancelled our cable after that.. why pay all that money when you can just spend $8 per month on Netflix.. the Roku box is a one time cost.. we got ours on Craig's List for $50.. and it was still in the box!  The Roku has tons of stations to watch.. alot of them are free too.  We pay for both Netflix and Hulu + as they have closed captioning which is wonderful when you are hearing impaired!  You should check them out!!

Anyways.. I got the slipper part done.. now working on Teddybear heads to attach. Hope to have pictures soon.. hope you all have a nice day.. see you tomorrow..

Pre Tuesday Post.. Organizing my craft room..

I just fell in love with this.. My craft room is really small.. and totally unorganized.. (I would be scared to put up pictures.. lol.. ).. I saw this on another blog.. and thought.. why cant I do this.. gonna look into ideas for this for this month.. lets just say you have given me ideas.. smile..

http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2011/12/reader-space-crafty-and-colorful-closet.html

Then looking thru her blog.. I saw this.. and thought.. wow... this would be even better..

http://iheartorganizing.blogspot.com/2010/03/march-featured-space-kids-perfect-play.html

I know this is a kid's room.. but this big kid needs exactly this.. look at those bins on the right.. clear bids for my yarn. space to put my book cases for my books.. yep.. even space for my computer. yep this is what I need.. smile.. Guess I can just dream for now.. smile..

My original post was suppose to save.. and not send.. lol.. this is suppose to be my Tuesday Post.. but guess I am sending it now..

Monday Shout Out - Purple Kitty LLC

Every Monday, I will pick a Facebook page to discuss here.  These are places either I have ordered from, found interesting, or just liked on my Facebook pages.. I hope you like this as much as I do.. 

My first one is Purple Kitty Yarns LLC.. If you love antique or vintage crochet patterns.. this is the place to check out.. they are just full of patterns for doilies and all sorts of thread patterns.. this is the place for you.. as much as I wish.. this is one of the things I cannot do anymore.. lol.. 

But if you ever want one of their patterns in cotton or even regular yarn (some of the doilies would make wonderful rugs in regular yarn).. you can always yell for me..  smile.. I bet I can make it for you.. 

They also have some really good recipes.. I certainly will be trying them.. grin.. check them out.. even if you dont craft.. smile.. 

My Latest Project.. Slippers for Kids

MY LATEST PROJECT

I am now starting to work on booties and slippers for infants and children to sell online.. I have made them before.. smile.. but need some new ones to put up for sale.. The ones I am making will not have these animal heads.. I am thinking of making a teddy bear head instead.. smile.. here is some pics of the first bootie I finished last night.. 

I have found a great pattern that makes them for infants and young kids.. and with a few changes even slightly older kids.. even used the idea for adult sizes.. smile.. They are called Bootie Buddies and you can get the pattern at Maggie'c Crochet.

http://www.maggiescrochet.com/bootie-buddies-pattern-p-1239.html

I will have complete pictures and sizes as I finish each one. 

Making change online..

I spend the week usually working on sales, orders, and other online stuff that just builds up.. Sunday is my day for catching up.. that is when I get caught up for the week for my clicks and surveys at places like My Points and Send Earnings.. I will discuss these two today.. I have been using both for years.. more on the others next week.. 

MY POINTS:

My Points is probably the most famous.. you get points for shopping online, doing surveys, searching the web, clicking on emails, and other things..  you can use your points for gift cards and now.. new.. get cash via PayPal..I have belonged to them for years.. and have gotten alot of gift cards (usually Target as we can get anything there).. I would love to put the click in to get credit for this. but my points doesnt have one.. you have to send them the email addy.. so if you want to sign up for this.. and give me credit.. email me and let me know.. smile.. 

SEND EARNINGS:

This is another site I have belonged to for years is Send Earnings.. (you can see their link on the left).. I have received several checks from them.. it takes a long time to get enough points to get the check but you do receive one.. This site is especially good if you like playing games, shop online, and do surveys as you get credit here for them.. found another blog who talked about Send Earnings.. you can read his too.. if you decide to sign up.. please use the link on the left.. or click here.. either will give me credit.. smile.. 

What do you think?

Just working on spicing up my blog.. smile.. I added a few things.. and also moved some stuff around.. what do you think.. better.. worse.. yep.. give me your opinion.. 

Can't Believe It Is Saturday Already..

Well.. it is Saturday.. smile.. still working on sales stuff.. lol. and still trying to find time to get some crochet in.. went shopping yesterday.. and by the time I got home.. ate dinner.. did wash.. hung it.. it was too late to start a project.. but I did get my yarn ready.. and put away the other yarn I was using for the dishclothes.. smile.. I think tonight I might start with the animal slippers instead.. got the yarn ready for a duckie.. and a frog.. smile.. we will see if I get to it toight.. 

This morning, I spend the morning working on still yet more laundry.  Got a load on the outside line drying..  do any of you hang your clothes outside.. I just love the smell of laundry hanging outside.. I generally only use my dryer just to do a final dry and delint the clothing.. I also worked in my garden.. and had to reprop up my tomatoes.. they well all hanging over.. got done with that.. and had to pick up a bunch of tomatoes that I knocked off the vines.. guess we will be eating fried green tomatoes again soon.. grin.. I also got alot of green beans and green peppers.. so it looks like later I will be cutting up some veggies for the freezer.. 

It is definitely cooler.. barely hitting 70 here. I am very happy about that.  I dont like the heat. Well I do need to get on to my emails and sales stuff for today.. so I guess that is all for now.. smile.. Have a nice day!!

My Friday Post!

Busy day for me.. had to get some of my tomatoes cut up and froze.. since they were getting overripe.. have a bunch more to pick later.. I am sure I will enjoy them come winter.. lol.. I love my homemade sauce with my homegrown tomatoes.. smile. 

Sales stuff are keeping me busy.. got a day or so to put up free ads on Ebay.. and I also have some items out on Etsy that are expiring.. so I have to send ads for them.. guess that will keep me busy for the rest of the day.. lol..

These are the items that are expiring on Etsy..  I lowered the prices and the postage (no handling charge now).. I now mail patterns to Canada:  Check them out..

https://www.etsy.com/listing/97842799/aran-sweaters-for-children-intermediate

I do want to get started on those booties.. by the time I did my home stuff.. and packed my orders.. it was almost time for bed.. so I just worked on reading my books.. am reading BLOGGING FOR DUMMIES.. for some ideas.. smile.. Got it out of my local library.. so far it has given me some good ideas.. 

Some Days Are Just Busy..

Today I had to do a number of little projects.. you know how that is.. I am sure.. smile.. first.. I decided to make stuffed peppers using my peppers I picked from my garden.. used ground turkey and leftover rice, seasoned it with  no salt seasonings, Italian seasonings, and diced onions.  Topped with diced tomatoes (from a can), seasoned with the same seasonings.. will make a nice dinner tonight.. 

Since, I had 3 orders yesterday.. two on Ebay and one for my crochet dishclothes, so I had to get all those invoices ready.. and in one case, bill the person.. that is all done and now I just need to print out the invoices and pack all three orders for delivery.. that makes me happy.. 

Next I noticed I had several ads running out on Etsy.. thought I would just advertise those three items.. since they will run out tomorrow..  will need to do 4 more tomorrow for the next day.. I wont be extending my ads for my patterns there.. just will use Ebay and Buy Sell Community as they seem to sell better there.. It was a learning experience.. like everything in life.. 

Next I will be working on these really cool booties for infants.. I got the pattern at Etsy.. I can show you the link.. but not the pattern picture.. as she doesnt allow that.. smile.. I hope to make brown and tan ones and blue with red ones (Buffalo Bills colors).. I havent decided yet on making the toy with them, or making a matching hat.. or both.. what do you think?

Pictures from the Fair

I dont know if you know this.. but I am a retired LVT (Vet Tech).. so naturally I have to go and see the animals.. smile.. First picture is of the Alpacas.. I love this animals.. first of all they are sooo cute.. and secondly.. their fur is used to make yarn.. and makes some of the softest garments you can feel.. smile.. 

Next came the rabbits.. I used to pet sit a bunny just like this one.. smile.. unfortunely for this one.. it was listed under fryers.. so I imagine it was a meat rabbit.

 This is a brown swiss cow.. their milk is really creamy.. and is used for making cheese generally.. 

These are your typical dairy cows.. they are called holsteins.. and they produce most of the milk you drink.. 

Had to get a picture of the piglets.. smile. they are so cute..

Final pictures tomorrow..

Sunday Update - Gardening and Other Stuff

Gardening update.. well.. my summer squashes went from good to bad in days.. now they all got some kind of mildew on the leaves and are dying where they are standing.. ugh.. but I did get alot before then.. and got a bunch froze... both in slices and in chunks.. today I got all my summer squashes picked, sliced and froze.. tomorrow I have to get started on my green peppers.. smile..

Today is my update day.. clearing out orders from last week, making invoices for Monday, getting my emails cleared out.. so I wont be sending my pics from the fair today.. will do that tomorrow..

My Murphy's Law Day..

Picked up a temporary housesitting job.. sounds easy.. doesnt it.. well.. with the driving here and back.. and everyone and their cousin wanting me to drive them places (mind you I told everyone I wouldnt be available this week.. ).. and trying to finish off orders and get my stuff done on the computer.. working on the garden (before more stuff rot on the vines, etc).. and just keeping up.. I am exhausted.. and this day just hasnt been a good one..

First my brake light went out… so how did I find out.. lol.. a cop stopped me.. thankfully I didnt get a ticket.. so I had to get the bulbs.. my BF tried to put them on (I was suppose to already be at my friends to drive her shopping.. that I had to cancel twice before because of other stuff this week).. and of course it wouldnt work.. so I told him let me go to our mechanic.. he snapped at me.. and then I SNAPPED (very loudly) at him.. and he got mad.. sigh.. got it done.. and went to pick up my friend… who of course wasnt ready.. I melted down.. so she decided not to go.. lovely.. so went home.. got ready to leave for my housesitting job.. packed my meal.. hit the bank (cos I needed toll money).. and at each stop things just went wrong.. even the store I stopped at to pick up stuff I needed.. I couldnt cos their machine was down.. and I had exactly enough money I needed for everything else but the groceries.. UGH!! Makes me want to just lay down and cry.. 

More Pictures of the Fair..

 Besides the giraffe.. there were alot of items I liked and wanted to save the ideas.. smile..  More tomorrow...

More on the fair and a busy day!!

Busy day today.. had to pick up my cat, Gabby at the Vet today.  She had 6 teeth pulled... poor baby.. and she isnt even two years old. one of the typical problems with cats with Feline Aids.  Then after that.. I had to take my brother in law for his road test.. of course he wanted to drive for a bit too.. so by the time I got that all done.. and got to where I needed to be.. I was beat.. and took a nap.. Grin..

Pulled the Winner for my contest.. that I had up on Facebook.. for my Old & New Shoppe Facebook Page.. You can see about it here...  The Winner was Paula Smith.. just emailed her..

Now more about the fair.. while I was there.. of course I hit the craft area.. one of the best items up there as a Tricolor winner was this giraffe.. incredibly made by a 18 yr old girl named Abby.. I had to take a picture of it.. and yes, it is as big as it looks.. 8 feet tall.. Here is a blog entry at the Erie County Fair Blog about it..
what do you think about this?? LOL.. more coming again tomorrow..

Had a great time at the fair..

Well.. I wont put it all here today.. lol. very long.. we got there in time to eat dinner.. so first we had some hot dogs and Loganberry Soda from Louie's Texas Red Hots.. that really filled us up.. smile.. then we started walking.. first thing we saw were the clowns getting ready for the parade.. I had to get pictures.. smile..

Then we hit the Baby Wild Animal Exhibit.. unfortunely most of my pics didnt come out well.. (they dont like to sit still.. lol.. ).. but here are the best of the young cougar.. the tiger cubs didnt come out well at all.. :-(

Certainly reminded me of my kitties.. just ALOT bigger.. grin.. More tomorrow..
