http://cattalkbycatsmeow.blogspot.com/2012/08/newest-project-updates.html

I will be selling these at the Bella Kids sale - http://cattalkbycatsmeow.blogspot.com/2012/08/just-not-catching-up-smile.html

Newest Project Updates..

Sorry I havent been here.. I always try to get things done on Sunday.. and just needed to do alot here!  Had alot of  veggies to pick and prepare to freeze.. Smile..

Anyways.. I finished the Teddy Bear Slippers.. and these will be on sale at a later date.. smile. Will put up the info tomorrow..

Teddy Bear Slippers - for a 4 - 5 inch foot

I started the Duckie Slippers.. finished the slipper parts and am working on the heads.. here is one that is almost finished.. Still have to trim the duckie hair.. lol. Hope to have completed pictures by Wed..

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..

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. 

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?

Well.. will be back tomorrow.. with more!!

Wow..

Got a note from a blogger today.. she added my scrubbie as one of the finds for under $10 on her page.. smile.. love that.. check it out!! http://visualeyescosmetics.blogspot.com/2012/08/monday-finds-for-under-10.html
