Strawberries

 So I decided to make a few cat toys  and put them up in my shop. The pattern for them came from UME Crafts, I just love her work (and yes I did get her permission though I have to say its been a few years, I hope she remembers : /  ....)

Have you tried?

So I have been debating about using these sites for a while now. Yardsellr hooks up with your facebook account and will also pull from your etsy account for new Items you just have to put a code in your etsy description. From what I have concluded you put something up for sale, buyer buys it and once you ship and put tracking code in on your end you get paid for it. Looks legit but I haven't sold anything yet, I posted an Owl for the test run to see how it goes from there. As a Buyer you pay the listed price plus the shipping and a dollar to yardsellr, which is okay seeing how they allow you to win "money" by buying items and other such things. I am not sure how reliable it is yet seeing how I purchased my items late last night on a saturday, but I will defiantly post more about how it works in case someone would like to know.

Tophatter auction seems like a super fun way to sell and buy, you get to interact with both the buyers and seller of every item unless the seller is away at work or some other important thing. I would say its like the forums Etsy used to have where we played a game One seller would start off the forum and who ever bought got to promote their shop for a whole minute giving lots of detailed information about their shop and what they sell. Now if the buyer didn't own a shop they could then pick someone else or if two or more people bought from the store before then the 2nd buyer (if having a shop) would go. This would go on all day and lots of different shops you post. However here you post lots to come up to sell and then when it is your turn you promote the item and people bid like in a normal auction, its nice and clean and the background changes every so often which is nice if you end up spending a long time in the auction. I have to say that I haven't bought from this site so not sure how its going to go and I just put up a test Owl to see how the auction thing works for me. I was able to pick a time to sell my item after making the lot for it, now I am just waiting for the day to come so that I can promote/sell my lot. I have to say the not being able to put my lot for sale right away makes me sad but everyone gets turn so I will be a big girl and deal with it :P Will update with more information as it goes!

I will be having a Giveaway!

I have been wanting to do giveaways for like ever and I always move before I do! I am going to do this starting next month on the First well because that seems to be a good time to do it. I am putting out the info now so hopefully there are people looking forward to it. I'm not sure what I will be giving away just yet, but there is plenty of time to figure it out. I will leave it open for the first 7 days of the new month and then will pick the Winner on the 8th day. I will then contact the person who won and get their shipping info and then mail out the Freebie/Giveaway. I am hoping for the best and I hope everyone is excited about this! Everyone and join in even customers who are from Ireland and England ... From all over the World ... as long as your Country is okay with shipments from the US. We all know how lovely customs can be :/

Working on things!

Valentine Item I made for my shop this year!

























Year of the Dragon Mobile made for my Sister. It took my a few days to come up with what to do but after that it was just cut and sew/stuff.

Been busy working on a throw for my sister I am hoping to add patterns to my shop soon. Crochet and knit patterns that is. Working on a few that are going though the trial and error process as we speak!

Good Luck to all the New Mothers this Year!!!

Summer Time

Okay So I finally took the time and made myself a swim top! I have a problem find one in my size that will fit me. I know (what about plus size tops Z??) Well when I go to try on a top I have the problem that my Boobies are 2 sizes bigger then the rest of me which causes for a very akward looking siwm top that is most likely to come off. Now if I whent with a XL top that most shops sell (oh oh barely covers anything) I'm left feeling how should I say .... exposed .... yeah!Here is the top without the underside part to help cover my extra curves, sorry ladys I'm just not that confident in my self.
As you can see I had to add a little extra to the sides to help cover more of my boobies, don't need them saying Hello to anyone now do we :P

I know I said I would post a picture after I finished this blanket but lets be frank about it I have been working on other projects instead. So I thought I would give you a preview of the blanket instead. Hopefully I will be done with this soon.
On a side note I have been updating my Etsy shop and will hopefully have some items to post in there soon. My sister will also be joining me by having a few things up for sell in my shop. No I don't know if she will open her own shop but she just might if her things go over really well.
