Birthday Part Two..

Today my best friend took me out for lunch at The Red Lobster as a birthday gift.. I had a wonderful dish of lobster, shrimp, tomatoes and asparagus cooked in a white wine and butter sauce over linguini.. mmmm.. it was good.. Then we did some shopping.. and I got a bunch of fall and Halloween towels to top and put up for sale.. smile.. guess that will keep me busy.. I am going to be busy this weekend.. with alot of running around and holidays stuff.. hope to have some pictures soon.. sorry things have been slow.

Happy Birthday to Me!!

It was my birthday today.. and I didnt really do anything work related..smile..it was a nice day.. went out.. got my hair cut, spent some time in my garden, and with my boyfriend.. he made me a nice chicken dinner with wine, and even a CAKE..smile.. so yes, it was a nice day.. more tomorrow.

Just not catching up.. smile.

Well... I had hoped to have pictures for you.. but unfortunely just didnt have time to do them.. it took longer than I expected to pack all my orders (a few got paid last night).. then I had to work on my slippers.. I will definitely have them done then.. 

This is the sale I am getting ready for:

Updates on my Slippers.. and Making a Lightbox

Well.. got a lot done yesterday, even though I also went out for a coffee with my friend, Ruth.. it was nice to get some time to spend with her.. seems like I am always running from one thing to another and never take time to actually just relax..

But I did get more organizing done in my craft room.. and alot more crocheting.. I finished the duckie slippers and started the froggie ones.. didnt have time to take pictures.. will try to get that done today.. I dont know how much time I will have to do that.. as I have alot of orders to pack to mail.. as well as get some crocheting done.. probably Thurs night I will take pictures.. I still am working on updating pictures of items I have on sale at Etsy.. esp now that I got my lightbox finished.. know what a lightbox is?? Check out this link.. mine isnt that big.. nor as nice.. lol.. but it works.. I am sure I can update it as needed..

Hi.. sorry I didnt get here today.. I was really busy with cleaning out my craft room (organizing stuff and finding more items to put up for sale.. oh my.. ).. so I decided to make up for it.. and have a contest.. drop me a note on here.. (has to be on my blog!!).. and I will raffle off this item for a prize.. This contest will end on Monday..

This is one of my freebies you could get from buying two or more items from my Old & New Shoppe -

This pattern would also be a great toy for a kitty.. by itself. or attached to a pole.. smile..
