The Venetian Village yard sale is...

August 7th and 8th. Anyone interested in joining up, just respond as I check in daily now.

There will be a neighborhood wide yard sale

In August there will be a large annual yard sale in the Venetian Village. This sale has been going on for about 20 years now. SO... is anyone has any interest in participating I would love to hear from you.

Last year there were hundreds of people wandering the streets and I feel that we could have a good response.

Good news for me!

I got a call from the dr.s office that said "all clear, it's B-9!!!
Yay for me!!!
Life is good, I am continuing to try to find a small warehouse space for a studio. I just need to get some of my home back. LOL

Does anyone have anything to add at all lately?

I am hoping to get myself back in form and get more of the real live presence back in Colorado Springs. We are supposed to be a street team, so I guess I will get some fresh way of looking at things from Etsy and go from there.

The changes in the laws that goes into effect...

Feb. 10 is going to be to much of a financial burden so I am having to change what I make. I will no longer offer anything made for children under the age of 12. This saddens me as I love to make kids toys and quilts. If this goes as badly for the industry as it appears it will this will end many charity and thrift shops as well. I know that even large market stores are going to have issues with having anything that complies with the law as it is written. So if you know anyone that has kids they might want to stock up so that when the stuff comes off the shelves Feb 09 they won't face a shortage of any kind. There is an open letter from Etsy in the forums I think. Please read it and make sure those you know have a good idea of if they are going to comply or ignore it and hope it can't be enforced.

I have the flu...

but intend to have more of a presence here this year. The MS seems to be leaving me alone again and I have even looked into becoming a moderator for Etsy street teams. I am hoping to have a small show this summer for us. I will post to bring everyone updates as it happens.

Taking a couple of weeks off

to recover. Between the MS and the biopsy stuff, I am a nervous wreck. I will try to get something going here again ASAP.

still no camera or computer...

but how can that keep the crazy craft lady down? Reading some books on marketing and making some inventory. Partisipating in the Peace Swap #4. Keeping busy so I don't loose focus.

not much to say...

still no camera or computer of my own... so all posting suffers. It isn't stopping me from partisapating in the peace swap #4. Doing some really great lace knitting. Made two round throws this past week and have a baby blanket on the round needles. Thinking of doing something in embroidery and silk soon. Miss chatting with the Etsy crowd. Taking my free time to study marketing.

broke camera and borrowed computer

but needles are in hand and I am trying to get my feet back under me. Life took a nasty downturn and I am looking to ETSY to bring me out of it. If anyone is still out there maybe we can get some brain storming happening.

Attention!!!

Deadline for the Sew Useful contest has been extended to July 16 2007 !
This is a great benifit and also a great way to earn yourself a new sewing machine!
Also a learning experience in making a tutorial.
Mine is under way.

Colorado Springs Flea Market

This month I am so wiped out by the medical testing that I can't make it. I am going to plan to have the booth for the third Saturday in July. Anyone planning to attend should start to put together their inventory and have a project to work on while we are there. Once we get a bit of a following and the temp.'s drop I will get an indoor booth that will be weekly. The eventual goal is to have a studio that we can work out of, like the Etsylabs.

ok,

looking into finding out how others can post to the site. Perhaps it will just be in response to the posts. So feel free to leave a comment. This is just the starting point.
I think that there are three of us now!

ps
the MRI went well this afternoon and I'll let anyone who convos me know when I find something out

Etsy is looking for Computer Engineers

and if you help them find one you win a $250.00 shopping spree! Refer the engineer of your choice to the jobs page!

ok, so it isn't for sale...

But I truely am enjoying both the being finished with and the cuddling up in the grey shawl of ever expanding projectness.

not very active yet...

still getting over this last go 'round with the mean ol bluemoanie. I am winning the fight, but on lots of steroids.
Everyone don't forget to check out the sewing contest on Etsy.com!!!
I have something in progress. Though it is a real learning experience for me.
Enjoy your crafting!

Got to start this somewhere

I think that I am going to have to make a light deflector, or perhaps a picture station to get a really good picture until I can afford a better picture. Everything I take is just a bit blurry around the edges.

This little cutie is 21 x 21.

Going back down hill to C.Springs this afternoon.

back yard after the snow...

I can't wait till the house in C.Springs is ready to be moved into.

It started snowing in August at this altitude. I really just need a gardening break.
