Deals! Deals! Deals!

I found some great deals at JoAnn's today. There were so many jewelry items for 50 cents. I was so excited! I also splurged and bought a doll book and a book with little birds. Couldn't resist. I found some cute little hair bows on sale which I make up for little Ella and send to her when I send her box of stuff later this week. Can't wait to get started on her things and things for the web site. I'm feeling better - as in I actually made it out to run a few errands today even after not sleeping well last night (long story).
Well, I need to get busy - only a couple of hours until it's bedtime, but I had to do some other things before I started working on the crafts.

Beautiful Day for Crafting

Of course, any day is a beautiful day if you're crafting! I plan on sewing later. I have some clothes to make for my granddaughter that I need to mail before she outgrows them! I also traced some toy patterns that I'd like to put on the web site: Ella's Green Nursery - well, no capitals and punctuation - at Etsy. I hope to have them finished by the end of the week and then add them to the web. I also want to add a few things to my web site - I just felt like it - also on Etsy. We'll have to see what happens.
I discovered that I love making fabric flowers. I want to make some out of ribbon and get some spray glitter to make them even snazzier. Little girls love glitter, and if the truth were told, so do I!

first Saturday in June

This has been a great day! The weather has been beautiful, and I have been able to enjoy it very much. At this time, I am watching television and thinking about things that I'd like to create. It is such a good feeling to know that time is my own and that it is up to me to make it or break it.
This has also been a very nice time with my kids. We went to the farmer's market this morning, and then came home to be with my mother for a little while before they left to either go home, or as my visiting daughter was doing, going to visit friends before he leaves to drive home on Monday.
I'm just spending the afternoon watching Haunted History on television and setting goals.

One more day

One more student day, and then a half day on Friday. I can't wait. I don't have any time when I work full time - plus all the time spent grading papers and keeping track of the grades! Which reminds me: I need to get busy. I have to finish the grades, and I have extra to do.
But I am happy; I signed a "lease" for shelf space at a local trading post. I'm hoping to sell some of the old things that we don't need, and somebody else will treasure and also sell some of my creations. It won't be long before school starts again. I'm thinking some Schultuette with pencils and toys in them and some other small craft projects and baby things for over the summer. Then for the fall: scaves and hats, Christmas ornaments, more baby things, etc. I'm SO hoping that I can do well at this.
