In the works

(sorry for the blur, I didn't have the energy to redo it)

It's funny how I can start with a plan and change it into something else a couple of times while I'm working on it! This began as a neck-cosy, ran out of the taupe yarn, changed the design by adding the chocolate chenille, scratched that whole plan and decided this will be a small pouch with an extra long strap so you can wear it crosswise over your shoulder. My favorite way to wear a bag. I have this neat-o, green vintage button that will go on the front, and I'll line the pouch with flannel. Really liking it so far.

Anyway, I'm thinking of selling on Etsy. I don't think I get much traffic through my blog to sell things as often as I'd like. Of course, selling on Etsy is not a guarantee either! You've got to have stuff people want! ha. I just think a little more exposure might help. We'll see. I think I'll give it a try.

Speaking of 'exposure' reminds me of my son Micah, who is an up-and-coming photographer.  He has already been published in the local paper and won an award for a photo he took last July 4th of the fireworks. He just took this portrait of Noah and I will cherish it always.(I re-sized it to fit on my page..the file was huge!)

yep I think Etsy would certainly give you more traffic, I haven't heard much what it's like but I've seen some great stuff on there!

your Noah looks so angelic in the photo. Is he like that in real life :)?
I love the name Noah -
your crochet is lovely, I can only do basic crochet squares and there are only so many blankets that a person can have !

Your Son takes great pictures. Sounds like it's something he likes to do and is good at it.

Great bag! I like hearing about your talented kids too. Good luck on ETSY and BTW I just added your shop link to my Scrap Happy website too. Every little bit helps!

love the bag and the vintage button. I just finished a bunch of stoneware buttons in my pottery class and now i just have to come up with some projects for them. i posted pix of them on my blog today.
that pic of your son is priceless, so candid, unposed. great!
good luck with etsy. i've sold two things on there in the last two months. i think it may give you more success. although sometimes i feel like crafty people just go there looking for ideas!!
