I am really busy working on Christmas Towels right now.. I will be here on Sunday with a full update on this sale.. and pics hopefully too.. 

Just a quick update..

My first sale at Bella Kids was ok.. did sell a bunch of Halloween Towels.. just no slippers.. but at least I did sell.. I am busy getting ready for a regular craft show for this Saturday.. I want some Thanksgiving and Christmas towels.. so am busy working on those.. I will do a full update tomorrow and give you all the info.. until then.. take care and hope no one here got too much damage from the storm.  We were lucky in WNY.. Buffalo got barely no damage.

Bella Kids Sale..

Thought you would like to see how my table looked.. the sale opens up in a half hour.. so excited.. hope I get some orders.. and sales.. one thing nice.. I dont have to sit there for the 4 days.  It is totally automatic.  Everything has a label and will be scanned as it is sold.  That part is wonderful, as I can use that time for other stuff.

Currently I am working on Thanksgiving Hanging Towels to list on Etsy and also for the next craft show the beginning of November.  I will have information on this next week.   First I have to get thru this sale.. I will give you an update tomorrow..

Set up at the Sale..

Well.. set up at Bella Consign Kids sale today.. they had some nice things to say about my slippers.. really hope they sell well.. dont worry.. sure will let you know.. smile.. anyways, they had some really cute stuff for kids there.. lol.. made me wish they had stuff like that way back when.. grin..


When I got home.. I went to sleep for HOURS.. well past dinner time.. thank God I had a meatloaf on or we wouldnt have eaten.. guess I needed the sleep.. just sitting here and watching TV and crocheting hanging towels for the next sale and to put up on Etsy.. doing some Thanksgiving towels now.. pics soon.. smile.. see you all tomorrow..

Getting ready..

No Monday Shout Out.. just too busy.. I am on a  countdown getting ready for this show.. first craft show I have done in a couple of years.. smile.

So far I got my tablecloth packed, my stuff all printed out and now cutting them up and boxed up.. got all the labels printed out and cut up.. and did the slippers tonight.. tomorrow I will get the towels labeled.. and then work on the digital photo frame to show off my other items.. smile.. Cant wait... back later this week with more stuff.. smile.

Winner of the contest.. and Update

The winner of the contest is Faithanne.. of Faithanne's Gifts and More.  As soon as I get her address I will send it..

I need another way to do the contests.. as alot of people were having problems.. will have to think on that.. anyone got any ideas? You can always drop me a line at the_cats_meow_crochet67@yahoo.com if you got any.. smile..

Well.. went to the Hearing clinic yesterday, and they told me my hearing has gotten worse and asked me how I felt about getting a cochlear implant.. which blew my mind.. caught me totally unexpected.. needless to say I was a bit upset.  My BF and I talked it over and he suggested both a second opinion and checking out the support groups before making a decision.. still it did and does upset me..

Still working on my newest slippers - girls froggie in variegated purples and pinks.. should finish those tonight.. then think I will start a girls duckie ones in the same yarn.. I got to try to get pics tomorrow.. been running so much that when I got home today.. I ate dinner and then went to sleep.. for the next week or so.. I wont be here as much.. will probably give everyone an update on Friday.. smile.. see you then..

Very Good Tuesday!

Well... my day started off by discovering one of the items I put on Ebay is having a bidding war going on.. smile... no complaint there.. lol.. No idea that a Salem Witch Trial Tshirt would be that exciting.. LOL!!

Then, I went to the Dr and actually got them to list to me.. yay.. gonna run some tests on me to see if there is a reason I constantly feel in pain and got muscle cramps. (blood work tomorrow.. ugh!!)

Then after I got home... unexpectantly.. my grandboys came for a visit.. and that delighted me.. lol... nice visit.. then I got to go out for dinner with my friend, Diane.. we went to AC Moore, The Christmas Tree Store (more towels), and then to the Olive Garden for dinner.

Got home and watched my show (Revolution).. and crocheted slippers (almost have two more pairs done again).. then got online to pack my two orders from Ebay and discovered I sold 6 towels.. smile.. now that really made my day.. orders are packed and ready to go.. but it is late now. so the pics I was gonna  put up are gonna have to wait until tomorrow.. smile.. Hope you had a good evening. I sure did.

Got more Halloween towels done..

Just need some time to take pictures. It is on my schedule for tomorrow.. today consisted of doing paperwork, bills, packing a bunch of orders from Ebay, going to the post office and the car repair guy for an appt for tomorrow.  Came home.. made a very quick dinner, then we sat down and watched Shark Tank and Grimm.  Now catching up with stuff here before I hit the sack.  Tomorrow I will have pictures of my towels available..

Just a quick visit..

It was a really busy and upsetting day for me.. I woke up to a text that told me my friend had to put her 14 year old dog to sleep because he had a stroke. (I was just there the day before).  so I guess this post will be for Dillie.. a really nice old lab.

Berroco Yarns Write Up..

I have checked out these yarns and they are really nice.. great for a special gift or making an item for yourself.. I havent yet bought any.. cos like anything.. I mostly crochet to sell.. smile.

I get the Knit Bits.. which is there newsletter.. every issue comes with info on one of their yarns and a free pattern.. most of the time it is a knitting pattern, but every once in awhile.. it is a crochet pattern.  If you both init and crochet.. this is a way to get some really nice patterns..

  Their latest pattern is a knit and crochet pattern for a scarf.. check it out.. smile.

Contest is closed... and my new crocheted items.

Well.. I guess no one wanted the knitted pattern for a headband... guess I will put something else up later this week.. I have been really busy with stuff going on here.. as well as crocheting for the sale.. thought you would like to see the brown football slippers I just finished..

I also finished a couple of sets of Halloween towels.. only got one set of pics so far. The first picture was taken with a flash.. the second without.. wanted you to see it in two different rooms.. still need to take a picture against white... this will be going up on Etsy very soon.
