DEEDALOOS DOES BLING!

WHO NEEDS CAMO

WHEN YOU'VE GOT A LITTLE BLING? ACTUALLY, I DID GET SEVERAL CAMO HATS DONE, BUT COULDN'T FIND ANY VELCRO AND DIDN'T PICTURE THEM YET. THIS NEW GEM IS EMBELLISHED WITH A PRETTY LITTLE SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL FOR SOME LITTLE PRINCESS! SWEEEET! MORE OF SUCH CREATIONS TO COME! (OR SO I SAY?!)

FLEECE ALERT!

Yes, it's true, yet another blog entry AND I've got some fleece out AND I'm actually cutting out some hats AND they're boy prints/hats too. It's a miracle to be doing this in the heat, but it's simply way to hot now that the sun has actually surfaced and i've got chores to get done and the kids simply need some down time today so it's a good opportunity for me to just jump into winter projects! Before we know it, we'll be shopping for our winter gear so I must be ready. Oh happy day!

2 POSTS IN 1 WEEK?! THAT'S NUTS!

YES, I'M BACK AGAIN SO SOON. O.K., IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVEN'T BEEN DOING ANYTHING. I CLEANED MY SEWING ROOM AND I'M READY TO ROLL IN FLEECE. WE WENT CAMPING FOR A COUPLE OF NIGHTS, MY PURSES DIDN'T SELL ON EBAY AND I'M STRUGGLING W/ ETSY LIFE SINCE IT SEEMS THERE'S A FEW BUGS THAT CROP UP MORE THAN I LIKE. TRIED TO LIST THEM ON ETSY BUT AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES, MY PICS WEREN'T LOADING. TURNS OUT I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE W/ THIS PROBLEM. HIKED A SMALL MOUNTAIN TODAY W/ SOME FRIENDS AND VISITED MY MY NUTTY NANA WHO TELLS ME HER DOG CHEWED UP HER TEETH - UGH!

MATHCHING WALLETS NOW PICTURED

THESE ARE LISTED ON EBAY W/ THE PURSES PICTURED BELOW. NOT SO SURE THEY'LL SELL AND MIGHT JUST LIST THEM ON ETSY AS WELL JUST BECAUSE . . . I'VE CERTAINLY GOT PLENTY OF FABRIC TO REPRODUCE THESE! SWIM LESSONS ENDED TODAY - OH HAPPY DAY AND CAMPING ON SUNDAY/MONDAY. IT'LL BE A BIT COOLER THAN I'D LIKE, BUT NO RAIN MAKES ME A HAPPY CAMPER!

CRAFTING IN THE SUMMER?? NOT EXACTLY . . .

I've been sooooo busy trying to enjoy this time with my children and my husband that I've been totally delinquent in my duties, but read a few great booksamong other things. Before I know it, another year of school will begin and my youngest will start preschool so I'm excited for them but also a little sad. We've been camping, done the polar caves, story land, ocean trips, lake trips, swim lessons, ocean kayaking and more. I will post some

pictures and I promise that they won't include my shorts that I duct taped when I ripped them camping (it was kinda funny, but the pic wasn't mine and I'm certain it wasn't pretty, but i suspect that you can find that somewhere at www.happyhousequilts.blogspot.com)! I've eased my way into crafting with a shirt for Kristen also a sweater I've begun for her in single crochet (ugh, what an idiot, it'll take FOREVER!). Finished the two purses I cut out weeks ago and may list them on ebay today since they're having a listing fee special. Might pull a few etsy items that are stale and see if they'll sell there. Also donated a few things to Loudon Old Home Day PTA silent auction where 100% of the proceeds when to PTA so I hope they did well! I did make a very lame boat when I was camping for our first annual handmade boat race down the stream. I competed against 3, 5 & 7 yo's and I LOST in a very big way! As always, thanks so much for checking out my babble and have a happy day! Now, if only I could figure out this tagging thingy?? . . .

6/29/07

How exciting - an etsy sale to a Loudon local! I (finally) made a signature block that contained my website and blogspot address and I'd sent a note out to a PTA email list as a follow-up on a fundraiser I was heading up and used my signature block and apparently this person checked out my etsy site and bought the two cute purse/wallet sets pictured below. So I guess this goes to show you that you never know who might want to look! I'm also told by my local buyer that they found a great ipod case too so hopefully their other transaction went just a smooth. For me, I hand-delivered my two things rather than pack them and mail locally and I stuck a couple of bucks in each kids wallet as a means of partial reimbursement for shipping (they wanted NOTHING back on shipping but it just didn't feel right). As always, thanks for visiting my blog!

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT DEEDALOOS & MORE

Well, after having several weeks of dealing with a head cold and then shortly thereafter moving onto a virus that hit all four of us, I'M BACK! I've finished a couple of purses that are up on my etsy site at http://www.etsy.com/your_shop.php. I've listed a fun pair of bug pj's for a toddler boy and I completed an outfit for myself which is like a Christmas miracle in and of itself. After completion I decided that it will make a great pair of pj's - lol! I've got some knitting needle & crochet hook cases that I'll be listing at my Etsy site for another talented artist friend. He's just too shy to open his own site (ha, ha). They're truly incredible though and totally worth checking out. His blog totally rocks too with knitting projects galore! Check it out at http://brileyknits.blogspot.com:80/ It's almost that time to switch gears to winter though, so I need to pack up some of these fun projects and move on to the real deal - FLEECE!!!
