Speaking of AWOL...


Well now, this is a bit awkward I must admit. To be truthful, the reason I have not blogged in so long is that I have been ill, and had forgotten my password. I'm still not sure I'm 100% recovered, but I was finally able to find the password reset feature. So then, since it has been literally months, I feel some updates are definitely in order.

I have become more comfortable with the T-Yarn production, particularly with my unique Tie-dye versions, despite having found myself in a sudden sea of other etsians that have taken up T-Yarn selling. I must admit it had me disheartened for a while, but I have decided to push forward and just continue to offer the same quality product, and focus mainly on my painted and patterned versions.

In other fields... Hubby was so kind as to surprise me with a sewing machine! It's nothing particularly fancy, in fact its only capable of forward and backward strait stitches, but it will definatly do for now. I have several project boxes with already cut apron pieces that were just sitting idle waiting for a sewing machine to come along, and so I should have holiday aprons available as they come into season. In addition, I am hoping this will mean I can try again to make a go of Pandemonium in due time.

I have also noticed myself taking a keen interest in childrens playthings, baby shoes, and wig making. Only time will tell if I attempt to make a real go of these new interests, but for now it is at least nice to have the variety in the workshop. And speaking of the workshop, this weekend I am finishing up the last of the sorting and catagorizing from the big summer destash! So of course, it is a fantastic time to order a Mystery box! Since I wasnt able to procure the shelving I liked, and as hubby has mentioned we will probably only stay in the Phoenix area another year, I opted to construct myself some sturdy Cardboard shelving. Its almost odd how handy this has proven, as instead of walking back and forth between areas, I can now take the whole supply of something with me and piece it all together on my cot! I'll try to get some pictures of the quarkyness up soon enough, several friends have found it good for a laugh.
