Etsy at last

Well I have done it. I posted some of my jewerly on Esty. I have had a few things sell. Mostly they have been people that I know through Facebook but that's a beginning isn't it?

I don't know if I can make any money selling my things on Etsy, but maybe I can make enough to support my hobby habit. A friend of mine told me that sounds like an addiction. Maybe it is.

Alot of people keep looking at my knot ring. I only have a few sizes avaliable so I guess I need to make more with a wider range of sizes.

Tomorrow is my birthday and Don is taking me to JD McGriks. That is my favorite resturant. It's an Irish Pub.

On Saturday I am having a birthday party with my good friend Heidi. Her birthday is within a handful of days of my birthday so we decided that we needed to have a joint birthday party. It has been such a long time since I have had a birthday party. This party is going to be a costume party and the theme is Life is a Witch. Everyone must come dressed as their favorite witch. The people I have invited thought it was a fun idea and started telling me who they were going to come as. I invited 8 people and 6 have comfirmed that they are coming. Not too bad.



I have just finished a wood agate charm necklace. I am very pleased with it. The beads are such a nice color. Now I am going to make earrings to match. I have enough beads and charms.

Wow, I hadn't relized that so much time had passed since I last blogged. I guess a lot of things have been going on.

Let's see... We bought a new car. The Malibu need extensive front end repair. We put a down payment on the new car for what it would have cost us to fix it. We had it for 11 years and it had a lot of miles on it.

The new car is a Honda Civic. We got a pretty good deal on it. The intrest rate was .09 percent. They were having a special to bring in customers. It was working because the day we went they had quite a few customers there.

Catie started school on the 19th of August. She told me she was ready to go back. I guess it really sucked getting to see your friends so little during the summer and only talking to them on the phone or through texting.

My spinning wheel is out of commision for a little while. The screw holes that hold the bobbing housing striped. Don says that the wrong kind of screw to do the job. So he is going to put the correct screws in.

I took pictures of my jewerly and posted one of them on etsy. I put up the swarovski braclete

and earrings up. I hope I sell it. When I put it on ebay it didn't sell. Of course people on ebay are looking for a deal and the lowest I could go on it was 23.00 dollars. That's what I put into it and that doesn't count the time it took to make it. This picture doesn't really do it justice. When the light is on it, it sparkles very nicely. I will post the rest when I can think of good discriptions to go with them. Don will help me with that so it shouldn't be long.

My knitting is going along. I have about 4 WIPs. I am still working on the blanket. I am at the second border and I don't have a circular needle that will go around all of it. After I am through with this second border the block will measure 58 square inches. When I am finished the blanket will be 74 square inches. I am waiting for the Addi Click adjustable needles to come in at the LYS. It's been about 3 weeks and I am getting a little frustrated with them. I need to have this blanket finished by Christmas. The border I am going to start is a plain stockinette stitch, so it should go pretty fast. But it is worked in the round so that is why I need the addi clicks. I can add lengths of cable to get the size I need. I am also working on a pair of boot socks for a friend. The pattern is pretty easy it just involves a lot of ribbing. The socks are 16 inches long. There is a nice lace pattern on the back of the sock. I don't do lace very well, but I don't think I will have a problem with this pattern.
