Open for Business.

I took the plunge today and started my shop on my website. This is an exciting step for me. I’m able to offer discounts and sales more easily than anywhere else.

Right now there’s only a few items listed. I’ve got two book series listed for sale and a few crochet patterns which can be downloaded right from my site!

This shop feature is one of the reasons I switched to the new website. It offers me the opportunity to have more control over the price of my items. There are a variety of features which offer a lot of options that aren’t available elsewhere.

Please go to the Shop and wander around. At the bottom on the product page is a place for you to like a product, if you so wish.

Over the next few weeks, my plan is to add all of my books, short stories, and crochet patterns. I also plan to add completed crochet items which will be one time offers available to the first person to purchase.

Weekend?

Where did the weekend go?  Saturday I was up and dressed but didn’t do a lot.  I crocheted.  I’m working on a kitchen set for someone.  Friday night I worked on dishcloths – lots of them.  Saturday I worked on pot holders.  Sunday I worked on a lot of different things.

It seems like my weekend flew by but I didn’t get a lot of stuff done.  Sunday I helped Vicki in the kitchen with baking, prepping for the week and a few other things.

We’re having a rummage sale next month.  I’ve been working on crochet items to sell during the rummage sale.  I’ve got a few dish cloths and I had some terry cloth.  Sunday I worked on cutting it up and prepping it so I could crochet around the material.

Once I’m done with the kitchen set I’m working on, I’ll work on the dish towels and hand towels.  I think I might have some fleece in the craft room which isn’t claimed.  If I do and I have time, I’d like to make up those so I could try selling them as well.

My goal for the rummage sale – make enough to get our dishwasher installed.  We’re going to go look at the dishwasher this next weekend – during all the sales.  The hope is we will have a built in dishwasher by the end of June or mid July.

From there, we will tackle other issues in the house.  In the meanwhile, I’m crocheting a lot and hoping the items will sell.
