Ribbons for Sale!

Made these ribbons for my mom's neighbor's garage sale. They're only $2 each. She agreed to help sell my epilepsy stuff at her garage sale and mom agreed to help sell them for me. If you want any just email me a watson.lisa3@gmail.com with how many you want and by when. The proceeds, as I have before mentioned, go to The Epilepsy Foundation to help with research so we can find a cure.

Odds and Ends.

Got some old jewelry from my Mom's neighbor recently. She, the neighbor, had gotten a box at a garage sale and found a bunch of odds and ends jewelry stuff in it. She didn't really need them and thought maybe I could use them for something. Several were broken but I can still use the beads from them to make new stuff. There are various kinds of earrings and necklaces I found among the pile. Now just to clean them, fix some and figure out how I want to sell them and for how much. It would be great at a garage sale, homemade jewelry sells great there. Too bad we live in an apartment. Maybe we could join up with someone sometime. It would be a good way to earn a little extra cash.

New book!

As some of you know, I've been wanting to branch out in my crocheting. I've been wanting to learn to read patterns, crochet different shapes, etc. Now I have a couple books to help me achieve that goal. First, I ordered Crocheting for Dummies a while back, I had it from the library at the time of the fire, but unfortunately, it claimed to book so I was left without a way to help me remember certain knots and stitches. Now that I have the book, I am back at crocheting. Then, yesterday, for my birthday, my stepmother-in-law and father-in-law gave me an Amigurumi book about crocheting animals and toys. I'm excited to try them out and see how well I do. I hope to get some done soon and post pictures of them. Thanks Thayne and Marie for the book!

Rebuilding.

As most of you may know, we had an unfortunate accident a week before Christmas. Our apartment complex burned down. We were not home at the time so we were safe. Fortunately, no one was injured in the fire and we were able to salvage some of our things. But unfortunately, all the yarn for my crocheting was a total loss. I've had to rebuild my yarn supply. The epilepsy products, however were salvaged and still for sale. I have been able to work on the epilepsy bracelets and they should be available for purchase soon. Things have been slow going with the blog and crocheting as we work on rebuilding the rest of our lives and get settled in our new place. Hopefully things will pick up soon. If anyone wishes to contribute and donate, feel free. Yarn, beads, gift cards, jewelry-making supplies, etc, are all welcome. Hoping all is well with you!
