Michelle's Update

 

I recently saw this quote.. and thought this is something that I need to remember.. I currently am going thru alot of stuff.. with getting caught up with all my medical stuff I need to get done, plus figuring out what to do with my cat, Link and his cancer.. 

My days during the week are filled.. with either water zumba or PT (alternate days) as I have alot of joint problems that need help, plus need to lose some weight for a knee replacement.. 

So basically I have to leave me sales and crocheting for the weekend, as I am too tired after each day of running around with Dr appointments, vet appointments, etc. Bear with me during this.. I will eventually be done or have a more accurate schedule.. 

Books I read in May

I didnt read alot of books again for this month.. I simply had too much to do.. plus it is summer, so I am gone alot.. and when I get home.. I am too tired to read long since most my reading time is when I go to bed..

Postage is going up!

 

In July, postage is going up.. which is one of the reasons my prices are going up too.. I suggest that you check out my items and get them before July as I will need to increase them slightly.. esp the items that go Priority Mail.. I will try to keep the prices down as much as I can.. but the raise in everything.. from postage, buttons, yarn and even towels are hurting my bottom line.. I already dont make much money at this.. but I at least want to make a little.. 

Thank you..
