Closed doors

Ok, I am looking for the open window. I went to ETSY to get the store going and post the pictures. Well, it seems that I need to have a credit card to open an account. I don't have a credit card, so now I have to come up with a plan B. Hmmmm, What to do? I guess that I need to at least show off the work that I did. So here goes!

Small bags approx. 12x12
Front and Back

Front and Back


Medium and Large Bags



Here are the patterns for the aprons



Here is the Aprons.... It has a pocket in the middle



Here are the hats that I have been knitting!

Well, that's it!

Out with the Old

No I'm getting rid of Grim.... LOL! I got rid of my old template for something new and different! I don't know yet if I like this lay out or not. I will keep it for a while and see if it grows on me. I had the other one up for so long that it just became rutty.

One of the monsters got Wii Fit Plus for Christmas. Last night I got on there and did all 15 new activities... Well, needless to say I can barely move today! I know my own fault. But oh, what fun it was. I love all of the new games. I really like the golf putting thing. I am really good at it even though I don't golf in real life.

I have chores that really need to be done. My room really needs to be cleaned before the new year. The rest of the house has been kept on. But the bedrooms, well, lets just say I am thankful that there are doors! I don't really mind cleaning my room, because I can sit for most of it. I just HATE folding clothes and putting them away. And since my room is the room for the clean clothes to come to, it tends to get shoved everywhere. Honestly, we aren't slobs, or even lazy, we are just un-properly motivated.

I have pictures of things from the holidays. They are on the camera and Grim hasn't had time to download them for me. But once he does I will get them on here for show!

I have the dehydrator going. In it there is mushrooms, tomatoes, green peppers, green onions, and cucumbers! And I also got some of the priority boxes from the postal service... Getting excited to start working on Etsy!

Oh, I almost forgot. I was chosen as an alternate winner! I am going to be the recipient of a copy of Magus of Stonewylde's book by Kit Berry. I can't wait to read it!!!

Absentee

I know I haven't been around again. But with the mad dash to get everything finished before the monsters are out of school has been very time consuming. And we still aren't done yet. One scarf is almost done. With that one done then if need be she will be able to see her sisters being done... and I will just have to tell her that if I get time I will make her one... You all know how that goes!

I have been doing really well with exercising everyday. I have only missed 2 days all month but in my defense I worked bingo and probably did more there then I would have on the treadmill anyways.... LOL! I'm still not seeing any improvement. But will keep at it at least until the end of January. I figure that if in 2 months I still don't see any change in my weight then I need to contact a doctor to see what else could be wrong.... I am keeping fingers crossed that I will see something as I HATE doctors!!!!

With the exercising I have been watching more television then ever. I have started watching Martha Stewart. I know, I know but she really does have on some really kewl things. The other day she had on an attachment for the Kitchen Aid Mixer it was the Pasta Press! I want one..... It shapes the dough into pasta shapes. You make the dough separate and then add it to the hopper. So if you wanted you could make 10 pounds easily in a day. But with the cost being over $200 I will have to wait until I hit the lottery! It will be on my wishlist for just in case someone has a butt load of money they want to spend on me.... Hint, Hint, Honey! LOL!

2 more Bingo's and then I'm done until February. And I also got some other really good news. The fish fry's are being cancled until the middle of February. That way they coicide with Lent. So we will only have 6 or 7 to do for next year! That made me very happy. So if the weather is crappy in January like it should be, I will be snuggly warm here at home. Not driving from obligation to obligation. YEAH!

I have an etsy shop and I sent for the priority boxes from the post office. I am hoping to have the shop up and running just after the holidays. I know I probably should have set it up for before the holidays. Since I have never done anything like this before I thought it was best to wait till I had time to deal with it properly. I am going to put the hats I've knitted and the afghan's that I have crocheted on there. I have a couple of other things as well, I sewed up a few bags and small towels that I knitted. 2010 is going to be another learning year for me. Which is wonderful. I am all about learning new things. It will also be a year of getting out of debt. We made some strides this year but with the added expenses of being sued and then the bike braking and all of the band stuff, we didn't do as well as we thought we were going to. To recap though we did pay off one of our loans and we did put a new roof on the house. All in all it wasn't a bad year!

I got another $5 certificate to amazon from epoll (survey site). While I added it to my account I was looking around at the books in my wishlist. I noticed that they offered reccomendations. Of course I went looking to see if any of it interested me. The are really good at knowing what I like. I found a ton of books on making soaps, shampoo and cleaning products. All of them went on the wishlist until I earn more certs... LOL!

Time to go watch Martha and exercise!
