Some of my latest Creations (And a few old ones)

Been busy working on some recycled crayons and recycled yarn to go into my etsy shop. A few were made for gifts too. Things are slow on the crochet front... no completed projects lately due to most of my time off has been spent taking care of crap that's come up and having to run for someone else. Time for some time off to myself, if I can get it.

Gas is eating everyone up so I'm finding more to do indoors. Now, if only people were buying things like they are at my store.... Bunch of Quilters for the AQS quilt show here this week. I like the quilts.... not the people.

Here's some of my latest creations going into my Etsy shop if not already there:

100% wool recycled yarn

Hope everyone's getting a few dry days- we need it!!

Saturday (or part of it) was mine

No, noone brought me any Easter basket or treats this morning. Shoot. Gonna have to pick a few bones of that Bunny's. Yes, I am a Christian and perfectly aware of why and how we should celebrate Easter and I went to church this morning (groggily after the storm last night) but I like to have a little fun too.

I did have part of the day to myself yesterday- after taking my hubby's truck to be worked on and haggling with him, I did manage to make several sets of crayons. Some were to give away at the IHOP I eat breakfast at but the Teddy Bear set and the dinosaurs will be going to my Etsy shop once I get them posted.

I also have TONS of sweaters I need to recycle the yarn from too but will have to wait til hubby is safely back at work. I lost one or two sweaters that the yarn looked good but didn't come apart well or frayed so much coming apart they were about useless.

Me, I'm about to take a short nap before work. Yes, I do have to work today but much later than normal and I'm grateful for that. Hope Everyone had a great Easter. Even if the Bunny came to see you, remember to reflect on the true meaning of Easter- in which Jesus died for us then rose again on the 3rd day and promised to come get us again at the appointed time.

Crayons and Crochet.... or lack of

What a week- My days off so far this week have been filled with taking care of crap that's arisen that a certain credit union has created, running to help clear out some stuff at my dad's (yes, still cleaning out after my mother's death and will be for some time) and trying to keep my own house taken care of and in shape to look at if someone wants to see. Luckily noone's wanted to see it this week- I couldn't have fit another thing in.

Which is my main gripe.... I haven't had time to crochet or make a single CRAYON for sale or for favor this week. I have plenty stacked for several batches where a local restaurant is saving their used crayons for me that would otherwise go in the trash, and someone else gave me a huge bag of crayolas that had been in a fire.... you couldn't even tell it except for some soot on the outside of the ziploc they were in! Amazing!!

So.... my Saturday off is ALL MINE.... I will be making crayons by day and crocheting in front of the TV at night. I think maybe I got 2 small rows of knitting in before I fell asleep in front of the TV the other night. Well whoever has something for me to do
Saturday can just wait!! LOL

I did find a cute pattern at cute crochet blog patterns for a clothespin bag and dress dishcloth. Don't like the pattern on the clothespin bag though... may have to come up with my own if I can get some time alone... to myself... for crocheting!!

Right now, slavery (I mean work) calls..... Later Everyone!

Happy Saturday!

Hi Everyone-

Happy Saturday! My day off although not totally enjoyable due to some things that came up and some unexpected expenses, I may have some time later to mess with my new hobby- recycling crayons! Then maybe some knitting later tonight. How's everyone- it's great to see what you all have accomplished since I last logged in and there's always new ideas and projects. My latest accomplishments are posted on Etsy: Sea Creature Crayons, pretzel crayons, and car truck and plane crayons along with a couple of others. The jewelry (vintage) hasn't sold too well so far but I'm hoping maybe.... I was going to post some pics but cant get blogger to cooperate. Check out http://etsy.com/meowcreations to see pics.

Now back to seeing if I can get some Etsy done and some other things to make $$ we badly need. Later all!!

Hi Everyone and More Etsy

Hi Everyone,

I'm still here just not getting much puter time lately. Got the majority of Mom's stuff cleaned out, working on my own house as it's for sale. We're getting a few showings but not tons and no offers yet. I've also been working on some projects for Etsy- Posted lots of vintage jewelry pieces and making some recycled crayons that I'm about to post. One thing I want to try is wool dryer balls- they are supposed to work great so we'll see.

Sorry so long between posts I've been wild lately trying to keep things done and keep up with it all plus hubby too. got a very early showing of the house tomorrow so I need to be up there working instead of at my dad's but with gas almost $4 a gal (avg. $3.75 here most places) it's hard to run back and forth. Hence a big part of the reason for moving- we're about 20 mi from town, 25 from the mall area, 15 from southside of town, 10 from my dad..... you get the idea. Only a cracker barrel and a few fast food places in the little town we live in and they try to roll up the streets at about 7pm. And the one little grocery store..... we won't even talk about the prices!! It'd break me to buy a loaf of bread and lunchmeat there! In short.... I WANNA MOVE ASAP. Can you tell?? LOL

Now that my rant is over gonna go see what I can get done. Thanks for following and be in touch as soon as I can. Love you guys!
