My Garden - July Update 1

Well.. thought I should update everyone on my garden.. this time I am going to start with my Summer Squash and Eggplant.. the first one is yellow squash.. that came from seeds.. the other two are zucchini.. I got those as plants from KMart.. the yellow squash already is producing.. the zucchini now has some little tiny ones..  Love all of these breaded and fried.. or put in stir fry or tomato sauce..

I got some flowers and it looks like some eggplants are starting to form.. 

Listia Auction Towel Sets

I decided to throw some microfiber towels I had on Listia and put them as a regular auction with a minimum bid of 600 points to get them topped and add a dishcloth.. they went over very well... getting me over 1000 points each.. I probably will do this again.. thought you would like to see both sets..

First one is a red one and the winner wanted a navy topper and button.. Navy is one of those colors that are hard to take pictures of.. but I am sure you get the drift.

The next one was a white one with a letter A.. smile.. I was really surprised on how many bids I got in it.. this winner wanted a black topper with white edging and a white button..

Rainbow Slippers

I finished the order of slippers that I recently was talking about.. I originally followed the pattern that was listed here.. and didnt like how they turned out.. so I pulled out the whole thing and found a different sole pattern, and then just figured out the sides on my own.. only thing from the original pattern was the circle designed.. which she wanted.. hopefully they fit her mother.. smile. and that they also like them..

Making Mandalas..

Wow.. been looking for this.. always have problems with making my large circles.. no more problems now. this is one I saved.. I see alot of uses for this pattern.. smile..

I found this via Love That Blue Bird blog.. she was talking about making these..

The pattern can be found on A Creative Being blog.. check it out there.. gonna be reading her blogs too..

Good Day..

It is always a good day when I have sold some stuff.. in the last two days I have sold 3 hanging towels.. one of the cupcake ones and two of the lilac ones.. smile..

I also finally figured out how to combine both patterns for the slippers and completed one.. I will have pictures of that tomorrow or Wednesday.. my main focus is to finish them and get started on the hanging towel order.. So sorry to say, I will not be online as much for this week..

How Has Your Week Been?

To be truthful.. I had time to come here.. just has no energy to do it.. so I guess I can update all of you now..

First, how was your 4th of July? Mine was busy and slow at the same time. it was hot of course, but didnt rain after all..so we barbecued outside.. did a ton of ribs and chicken.. for guests.. also made homemade pasta salad and macaroni tuna salad.. had a fair amount of leftovers.. and we are finally almost gone with it all.. lol..

The 5th I was busy with online stuff.. and crocheting an order.. got a number of orders now to do.. I finished off a new style of Watermelon coasters (one for an order and two as prizes for my raffle on my facebook page.

These ones have a red interior and edged with a darker green. I am selling these for $2.25 each.. buy 4 or more.. your cost would be $2 each.. Here is a link to my Etsy store for these.

Currently I am working on a pair of slippers that I told you about before.. I didnt like the sole.. so got a different type and used that sole.. and just kept the top the same.. I should have a picture of these in a day or so..

I also offered a special on Listia.. if the bid went over 600 points.. for microfiber towels I would edge them for free in a hanging towel.. two made it.. and I have to work on those now.. pics of those soon too..

Cant Believe It Has Been Almost A Whole Week!

Dont know why the end of the month is so busy for me.. even worse going into this month.. First Ebay gave me a ton of free ads.. cant pass those up.. unfortunately (or should I say fortunately)  I sold alot in June, so I had to spend some time scanning new items to put up for sale.. these take alot of time.. then before I knew it.. it was time to start my monthly free ads.. If you want to see what I have up for sale there..
CLICK HERE.

And of course, I have been putting stuff up on Listia.. as well as bidding there.. I already have won sooo many items.. mostly towels and buttons.. which of course I will use to make hanging towels for sale.. also have won some books and patterns.. really do enjoy doing this.. smile..

And last but least.. I have been crocheting orders and working in my garden.. I will have pictures of those coming up..
