Havent been here in a bit.. busy!!

I had several things coming up that kept me busy.. one was the Stitch & Bitch that I was looking forward to.. but it got canceled due to the weather.. we got really high Air Quality alert, which with my asthma would have canceled me out anyways.. plus thunderstorms coming.. maybe the rain will clear the air.. hope so!!

Anyways I will be sending ads for the next couple of days.. mostly craft magazines.. I am working to scan these and get them up for sale..

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.. 

Kids quick knit overalls and cardigan:  $1.50

Girl's Fair Isle Cardigan: $1.75

Aran Sweaters for Children: $1.50

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?
