Lack of time..

 

I need to organize my time better.. things are getting half done cos I am spreading myself too thin.. esp with the gardening season restarting.. so I am closing my Facebook link.. it will stay open, but not being used.. I will try to send ads via here for stuff.. one storefront a day.. maybe then I will have some time to actually crochet.. lol. .

Michelle's Old and New on Facebook..

I have inviting everyone to check out my storefront on Facebook.. for all my sales.. I generally only send maybe 5 announcements every day or so.. This way you can see all my items as soon as they come up..

Fall or Halloween Cozies!!

I am taking orders for these.. 

Get ready for the Fall holidays with this coffee cozie.. Great for those hot drinks at the local coffee shop.. Made of worsted weight yarn and topped with either brown glitter, fun fur or green/gold glitter yarn (no picture of that yet).. picture is fabric glued on with fabric glue..

You can also order these on Facebook. 

A Whole Month Has Past!!

I have been busy.. just enjoying life.. got to get back to my sales starting this week.. So be prepared for quite a few clearance sales coming thru.. you can see my items for sale almost daily on my Facebook sale page..  I generally send 2 or 3 ads per day.. 

I havent been working on too much crocheting.. or typing for that matter.. seems I have developed a lump from using it too much on my right trigger finger.. Finally down so I can get back to it.. I have so many things I want to make!!

I am finally going to put my books back up.. did my 2023 Challenge on Goodreads.. I ended up reading 51 out of 50.. Will update January's books by Wednesday.. 

Doing a Fundraiser for American Cancer Society...

 

I am doing a reading fundraiser for the American Cancer Society.. so if you want to make a donation.. you can donate on my Facebook page.. 

https://www.facebook.com/catsmeowcrochet67/

Everyone can see it, so you can just donate there.. I still need a bunch more donations.. 

Currently I am already on book 2.. lol.. go there to see more about it.. 

Fall or Halloween Coffee Cozies..

I made one for a demo.. and it ended up selling immediately.. I at least got a photo of it.. this is topped in brown glitter fun fur.. I also have Green/gold glitter yarn which I havent used yet.. if you want one.. you can order either in my Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/crochet.cats.meow or in my Bonanza storefront - https://www.bonanza.com/listings/Fall-or-Halloween-Coffee-Cozie/1538569199

I have been so busy

 I have gotten so many orders.. will be putting up some pictures here.. I dont think I have ever done these many orders at once in years.. 

First I started selling Bills Cozies on Facebook and the orders just took off.. seriously a ton of orders.. Here are some of the photos I took.. these are NOT all the orders.. just a couple.. 

These are just a couple of the ones for coffee cups from shops like Tim Hortons or Starbucks.. as an example.. 

I am making other designs too.. soon I will have them up..

September Fundraiser..

I am doing this fundraiser for the Trevor Project.. if you can help me by donating even $5.. I would appreciate it..  I need to read 600 hours in the month of September.. already have gotten 100 done.. reading is my relaxation so this will be easy for me.  https://www.facebook.com/donate/1288806795196123/

Took a Break..

I had alot of things going on since my last blog entry.. one of my friends, who had cancer died.. and then I got sick.. so basically I havent been doing too much here.. some reading.. sales stuff on eBay and crocheting some towels.. that basically it.. 

Plan to do some blog entries tonight to come out this week and weekend.. hopefully get my towel pictures done this week too.. I won some buttons on TraderKat that went really nice with the two sets I just finished tonight.. 

I want to start some summer baby items.. hopefully will pull patterns and yarn this weekend.. I found some really nice flowers to put on baby dresses and sandals.. and also listed a bunch of fabric flowers on Facebook that are too large for what I like to make.. a few pictures below.. plus a link to the pictures on Facebook. Below are some of the flowers.. plus alot more.. the link on Facebook is HERE!!

Bet you wonder..

Bet you wonder why I do so many different sites.. you see, my house is full of stuff.. just too much stuff.. I dont plan on being in this house more than a couple more years.. so I need to clear it out, because I dont want to move it.   I have an order of what I put items up in stores.. 

Obviously, my handcrocheted items get listed in Bonanza.. I want to focus more on that as I need to get items done to clear out yarn, towels, and other supplies to make them.

Then the regular items in my house.. First, they go up on Ebay, then after they get lowered, then I move them to TraderKat.. I also use TraderKat to sell some of my hanging towels too.. Then they get moved to Listia.. and if they get that far.. then I move them to Buy Nothing, West side Allentown, Buffalo, NY.. and just give them away.. if they get where no one wants them.. there is always AmVets.. 

So you see ads for all the places.. one of the best ways to see what I have it to go to my facebook storefront to Michelle's Old and New Goodies.. I have sections for all my items.. so you can see them all.. Click on the link to go to my site on Facebook.

Old and New

Happy New Years..

Happy New Years!  I hope this year is wonderful for you.. I am hoping to get much better organized this year so I can get more into my blog as well as get more items up for sale everywhere.. Today I plan on just doing my orders, since it is a holiday.. but tomorrow I will be starting back to doing my sales as well as putting more towels up.. as well as some booties I finished before.. Am thinking of adding a design to them which means I will need to take more photos.. 

Working on more Hanging Towels

No pictures yet as I need sun to get some decent photos.. Flash doesnt do it.. and I dont have many spaces in my house to take decent photos.. unfortunately.. right now I am working on Valentine Day towels.. then will be starting new orders for the new year.

Michelle's Update

Well.. am back to work.. faster than I planned as Ebay gave me 100 free ads.. cant waste them.. So I am back to work scanning items and putting them up for sale. most will be crocheting booklets.. but some are clothing and other items..

As I need to focus on one thing.. my main focus will be Ebay for now.. I want to clear out my house.. as I am hoping to start looking for another place to move to.. it is time.. and I dont want to move all these stuff.. so expect me to put up as many items as I can get free ads for.. and there will be specials in my Facebook group to help clear out faster.. if you belong to Facebook. join here for specials.. I generally send 4 items per day via here.. and starting after the new year.. one item per day will be discounted..

My Summer plans

I have been thinking about this for a while.. I know I need to cut back.. and focus on one thing.. so for this summer.. I am planning on focusing on getting rid of the stuff in the house.. either thru Ebay or Listia.. and put off my crochet store until fall.. I have more than enough private orders to get thru.  If I make anything for sale.. I will put it up here or on Facebook.. then in the fall.. I will do a blitz of putting items up for sale on Etsy.. I am also not taking any more orders for this summer.. thanks..
