Question that I would like feedback on

If I were to start posting some of my scarves and cowls on Etsy, would there be any interest among my friends to buy them?

it is done!

All of the grocery bags that have been cluttering up the house are gathered and those that were not made into yarn by Saturday are bundled up by the front door waiting to go with us on our next grocery trip to be recycled. And when we made a quick trip to the store last night all the bags that we got were turned into yarn before I went to bed. I'm quite proud of myself for that. Turns out that if you fold the bags up the same night as you get them it's easier to cut them up for yarn...who knew?
Anyways, I'm quite proud of myself for getting that all taken care of. In other garbage bag news I've frogged my original re-usable bag I had been working on in favor of creating my own pattern to use to make it more like the ones you would buy, as opposed to being a circular base. So we'll see how that turns out.

So I've changed my mind

Instead of doing FlyLady's beginner baby steps i've adapted then end 'control journal' to my purposes and have started using the COZI app on both my phone and Husband's. I use the to-do list as my daily control journal, and have made an extra list for my weekly chores. I'm even working on one for the monthly 'zones' of deep cleaning. Plus Husband has his own to-do list that I update so he just looks at it when he gets home from work and knows what I need him to do for the day. It's quite awesome. Plus I love the calendar part of it. That's actually the main reason I downloaded it in the first place.

In other news the shawl for Ber is complete!! (except for the fringe, which I'm hoping to finish tonight if I can ever get Munchkin to go to sleep. She's tired, but really doesn't want to give in. It's okay, I got an hour nap in earlier, so I'm good till about 2 am, then I'll need to tag Husband in for a little bit.
Tomorrow while Husband is gone at work my plan (after getting my morning/afternoon checklists done) is to get out the sewing machine and re-familiarize myself with it, and sew up a blanket I've had pinned together for at least 2 years. If that goes well then I'll do some patch work on my pair of cut-offs, and my only pair of jeans. So fingers crossed it goes well.

Well, Munchkin is down in her crib for the second time, and hopefully this time she will fall asleep on her own. (I hate letting her cry, but she needs to sleep.) Every time I try to put her down in her own bed today she's woken up and started crying, but it is bedtime now, so she gets to cry for 10-15 minutes before I go and 'save' her from the 'evil sleeping place'
Gotta love kids.

Here's the shawl folded with 1/4 of the fringe done (it takes forever!!!)

about nothing

I don't have much to say tonight, so I'll just say it, I'm watching Hulu and trying to finish a crochet project. I'll post a picture of the finished project tomorrow (before washing/blocking)

Feeling pretty good today!

I got up, got ready, got the baby ready and we were off! We made it to the post office to pick up our held mail and to take the hold off. See, it's a funny story; when we moved and I went to get our new mailbox keys the post office told me that the previous tenants had not turned in their keys, so therefore I had to pay for a new lock/key set. So not fair if you as me, having to pay for someone else's stupidity. But anyway, I paid for the outrageous new lock, and was told to call before I went to get my keys (to make sure they were actually finished before I drove out to get them) So I called Friday and was told to pick them up, and did so. But I forgot to pick up the mail/remove the hold while I was out, and by the time I was done with the rest of my day it was to late. So I had to go back today, and I have a very bad track record about getting to the post office in time on Saturdays. But in awesome news: Monday we'll get our first mail at our new place :)
And in even better news: The baby slept for almost 8 hours last night! I was so excited, like beyond excited. I actually got about 7 hours of sleep myself. And she even took a nap today while Ber and I were hanging out.
The original plan for today was Ber was going to take Munchkin and leave me here alone, well that didn't happen, because Ber mentioned she was going to Hobby Lobby, and after asking Husband about it, I went with because I wanted to do this :

This is the actual complete project. (you can see me taking the picture and Bur waving in the background...she's kinda crazy like that) So instead of getting as much work done as I was hoping, I got part  of it done and had a wonderful afternoon with Ber and Munchkin.

Although I did get quite a bit organized this morning. Using this awesome app in my phone I have all the important reminders for this month in there. And that just makes me feel good, like I really accomplished something and have my month in order, which just makes life seem easier and more productive

day 7 is completed and my sink is shiny tonight! I'm feeling pretty good about that :) Now just to tackle day 8 and keep going and continue feeling positive about life and the Flying process.

I hate when your face starts pealing after having a minor sunburn. It's nice that washing my face doesn't feel like rubbing sandpaper on my cheeks, but still. I'm just happy I don't normally wear make-up, because there would be no way I could do that natural 'no I'm not wearing make-up' look today. (and that's what I prefer to try to do. Although it is kinda fun to do the crazy exotic make-up every once in a while, I just don't really go out anywhere that it would be appropriate for much anymore.

Well, it seems like I had quite a bit to say today, anywho, I'm off to get a few rows of crochet finished and then off to bed.

Finally Friday

Well if life wasn't hard it wouldn't be life...right?

Well, this week has been really fun. I'm pretty much off work right now due to stress, and Husband is between contracts for work right now. I feel a lot less stressed, to be honest, which is a very good thing. The nurse at the health department actually suggested that I quit my job.
So I may start looking for a data entry job, lord knows I can type, when I was taking classes and working on it, I had gotten up to 90 words per minute. In the mean time I'm helping Husband look for a job also, with both of us doing so it helps him, makes the stress of finding a new job a little easier on him when we share it.
I keep trying to finish this blog, but I keep getting distracted by the internet, right now it's Weapon of Choice by Fatboy Slim, I suggest people look it up, the video is awesome. It's got Christopher Walken in it, if I remember right being in the music video re-started his acting career. But Husband told me that, so i'm pretty sure I'm right.
I suppose that's all for now, I am going to try to keep up with this blog, more so that I have before, and I'm going to try to update my crafting one as well, I'm trying to keep myself going and creative so hopefully I can get my etsy shop up and running. I'm thinking of making cross stitch book marks, since I have a fair about of counted-cross stitch material and lots of extra thread....It sounds like a good idea to me at least.
