It's all in the family

It has been a CRAZY couple of weeks! We have had family visiting, family moving and family sick (all of us took turns with a NASTY cold).

But I was finally able to put a couple more items up for sale on Etsy. There are pictures of these items and descriptions on my flickr page as well.

I am now hoping to do two posts a month. I am hoping the second Friday of the month I can write about a craft related place I like to visit, and the last Friday of the month I can give an Etsy shop update. Tomorrow is the last Friday of the month so I will do the post today. I now have seven items for sale (as you can see below). I still have not sold anything but, as soon as I have a couple of items made in each category I will sign up to be featured in a showcase. I'll let you all know when that happens.

In the mean time it's almost Labor Day weekend. I have a feeling I won't be doing much in the way of crafting this weekend...Please feel free to share if you do!

Here's an updated little galery of my Etsy shop. As usual please feel free to pass on any comments - and tell your friends.

Ravelry

Ravelry is a wonderful resource for those who knit or crochet. Since I have only been crocheting for about a month, I find it to be a great place to get tips on how to make my stitches look nicer, find patterns that fit my skill level and get ideas for my next project.
It does take a few days to get an invitation. The wait is currently 3 days. But once the invitation is in your in box the fun begins!
You can keep a 'notebook' of projects that other people can see. You can rate how happy you are with the project, add details about size of needles or hooks, the yarn used, the picture and how much you have completed. There is a weekly newsletter to catch up on how Ravelry is growing, and what events are in the area. Patterns and projects are also searchable and can be marked as favorites if you wish to try them at some point.
My screen name is CrimsonCat on that forum, so if you are looking for someone to add to your 'friends' look me up! To visit the site click on the Ravelry title at the top of this post.
