Open for Business

Several New Years ago, I made a resolution to open an Etsy shop and try to sell some of my handmade items.
Over the years, I made excuse after excuse for not doing it:
*nobody will want to buy that
*how much should I charge?
*shipping is too complicated
*which web-based shop service should I use
*what if no one buys anything
*I don't have time to run a shop
*selling stuff takes all the fun out of making it
*too much pressure
*what if nobody buys anything. ever.

Well today, I pulled on my big girl panties, signed into Etsy, and listed 6 items for sale.

Ta-da!  My shop is now open!
I'm hoping to add more items in the coming days and weeks.
I would love if you would stop in for a little visit by clicking HERE

mood blanket monday: week 8

Happy Monday!  
I am a bit in shock that I have this post written and ready to go on time.  Wooohoo!
I spent much of Sunday redoing my little blog: designing little graphics, uploading, reloading, saving, deleting, downloading, reloading.  Suffice it to say, it was a pasta and jarred sauce kind of dinner last night!
  But I am quite happy with the little makeover (and so happy to see a white background again!).  I'm sure I'll be tweaking it here and there.  But for now, let's get on with last week's blanket.
Last week was February vacation around here.  Three boys.home with me.for the week.  We had a great time doing a whole lot of nothing.  Sometimes I want to get out and do stuff with them, and I wish they had a little more sense of adventure in them (they take after their dad), but for times when I just want to hunker down in the house, these boys are all I need.

Let's just say there was a lot of video game time, but the important thing is that we were together.  Here's the week in blanket squares:

mood blanket monday: week 7

Just scraping in with my crochet mood blanket update before we rush off to the hockey rink {again}.
 This week was so much easier because I really stayed on top of it and crocheted my square every single day.  It might have also helped that I was in a much better mood this week!

{two naps and lots of reading}
Monday || DAY 41:
