reshooting all etsy product photos and adding more!
It’s about time I get my butt in gear.
I also bought a nice package on Etsy for custom banners, avatars, business card designs, ect. and I am pretty sure I got ripped off. I was supposed to receive an email within 24 hours of the purchase, with a question sheet to get an idea of what my shop is and what I want out of it and I never got...

Sunday off goes as follows:
8:00 a.m. - wake up to work calling, ignore, listen to message. Someone called in this morning. I am in no shape to get out of bed to work. Went to bed late.
WHY ARE PEOPLE CALLING IN EVERY SINGLE DAY?!?!?
Fall back asleep.
10:00 a.m. - wake up, let the dog out and feed her. Shower.
The rest of the day should be spent knitting and watching movies but I will...

FIRST ETSY TRANSACTION!!
SOMEONE BOUGHT SOMETHING FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AHHH! BEST DAY EVER!!!!!
packing up the craft room = I have a LOT more than I thought!
started packing today
this is going to be a long process!
Found a great house with a GREAT landlord! Moving in next week!
I can’t wait!
I have been MIA for way too long.
I don’t even know where to begin!
I have been behind on my custom orders (for friends) for way too long but things just keep coming up.
The Thursday before Christmas AJ went down to the basement to put some things away and he came back up and started slamming shit. He was on the phone with his grandparents while he was freaking out and then he whispered “Go look in the...

craft-a-thon with AJ, Mona and movies.
Best decision ever, staying in is much more fun!
Hope everyone else is enjoying the evening (safely) whatever you may be doing!

Alpaca farm and gift/yarn shop in town - AMAZING! I wish I wouldn’t have waited this long to go there!
dinner and going to the movies to see Sherlock Holmes 2 sounds like a great way to spend my birthday.
Santa brought me a wonderful Christmas present Thursday night.
AJ ran down to the basement to organize a few things and the entire floor was FLOODED. Sewage EVERYWHERE. Of course it was after any plumbing hours. We called our landlord to let her know and packed up to stay at my mom’s for the night.
Luckily Friday morning the landlord got someone to stop over in the morning to take a look...
cowl is finished!
Starting the baby cardigan tonight, it needs to be done before 8:00 p.m. Christmas Eve. Let’s see how this turns out!
Photos coming soon!
SO much knitting needs to be done in the next 8 days I haven’t had the chance to update tumblr or spend countless hours scrolling through posts.
I really hope I can get all of this done!
MISSION FOR THE WEEKEND:
Get the craft room organized (again) and re shoot all Etsy products on mannequin and post new pictures. Post Etsy products that have been laying around for months and work on banner/business card ideas/designs and pricing for the needles and nonsense change.
Also try to get all of these custom orders and a Christmas present done before Christmas. Nothing like a deadline to kick my ass into gear!

I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS IN MY HEAD I FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO EXPLODE WITH CREATIVITY!!!
more yarn in the mail today.
this is the last yarn package for a while, otherwise AJ is going to kill me.

Still putting off these cookies, but I have to get them done!
Finished Emma’s dishcloths earlier today on my mini road trip with AJ, photos tomorrow in natural light. Just need to take out some of the scarf to make a pompom.
I can’t wait to start another project!! :)

help me decide!
Toffe Oat Chocolate Chip cookies.
I am kind of thinking I should swap out the chocolate chips for butterscotch chips - yay or nay?
I also need to come up with a finger food recipe - any ideas?
one washcloth down, only seven more to go!
cleaning the house isn’t my idea of fun on my day off but I have to in order to bake 12 dozen cookies before Sunday’s cookie exchange.
I haven’t even ound a recipe yet!!
feeling better now.
I feel like I am going to have a mental breakdown today for no real reason.
So much for a fun day off.
UGH.
I am always super motivated to knit things for the etsy shop when I have a handful of custom orders.
not fair.
Just ordered a dress form for displaying knits in photos.
I’m so excited! I love amazon’s great deals!
I hate when I don't order enough yarn.
I have been knitting this order for a while now and Emma is probably going crazy waiting for it. I ordered four skeins of Tara Tweed and I thought it would be enough for her scarf and hat and it’s not even close. I can’t wait a week and a half for one more skein to come in.
I’m going to have rip out some of the scarf to finish the hat - good thing I didn’t weave in the...
WE GOT THE RV!!
if someone knew what this craft room looked like before I started cleaning - I would be put in the nut house.
I think I am somewhat of a hoarder.
I can’t put off going to the laundromat any longer.
Maybe I will feel like cleaning the house when I get back?
Probably not - but I should do it anyway.
Hopefully I’ll make some progress on the hat while I’m washing clothes.
AJ got two packages from Fedex and UPS and I’m crying because I love getting things in the mail. I can’t wait to get my parka and boots,...
