Etsy Critiques

I am really starting to enjoy the Etsy experience.  So many interesting people....I reallly like the forums especially the Critique area.  People are so very helpful and complimentary. 

I am finding that it is such a learning experience. Promoting, commenting.  Such a varied amount of things to do beside actually producing the crafts that you hope with all your heart will sell.

Another rainy day in PA

We have had no summer this year in PA.  Now it seems we are jumping right into Fall.  I don't mind a nice clear,sunny, cool fall day but the gray, cloudy day is so very depressing and dreary.  That is all we seem to have here.

Aside from the weather, I have had a busy Sunday.  Washing clothes, hanging drapes, working on the budget(always fun) and now hoping to do some marketing for my Etsy shop and then watching the Steelers and knitting.  Not much else to do in this type of weather.......

Renaissance Fair

My husband and I went to a local Renaissance Fair on Saturday.  The weather was beautiful and we had a great time.  Definitely a different side to life.  People get very caught up in the costumes and atmosphere.  We couldn't tell who worked at the fair and who were visitors.

Now is the best part of the day for me as a crafter.  Taking a hot bath, putting on my jammies and plopping myself on the couch with my dogs, my knitting and my soapies!

I am a Dental baby! I have a definite fear of the dentist chair. Today, I had to have a root extraction but fortunately, the dentist is a wonder and he did it in 10 mins.

It is sore but not too bad. The worst soreness comes from where he gave me the shots. Also, the taste in my mouth is awful.....

First day back at work

You need a vacation from your vacation! The first day back is always tough. The desk is piled high with work and it's hard to get back into the groove. The day goes fast but I'm still anxious to get home to my current knitting project....

My first blog!

Well, I finally have a blog! I really hope this helps my Etsy and Heavenly Intentions sales. I realize that I know very little about blogging and such but I will hopefully learn.

I really want to share my joy of crafts! Especially the yarn crafts-knitting and crocheting.
I have tried almost all crafts through the years-cross stitch, sewing, rug hooking,Dip-N-Drape,jewelry making, doll making, etc, etc. But my real and lasting love is knitting and crocheting.

I get such a sense of happiness when I sit down in the evenings to knit or crochet with my two dogs on each side of me! I look forward to it all day long.
