My Little Crafty Corner

Archive for the ‘Hobbies’ Category

I haven’t been so crafty this week, been in funk. I need to get out of it, as I have lots of knitting I want/need to get done! I did manage to do a little baking this week, as in banana bread/muffins and zucchini bread/muffins. Making the two kinds, I have enough for next week, as I won’t be around tomorrow to do my normal Saturday baking.

Hubby is looking for guitar amps, but he really needs to be looking to find out where can I buy cheap desktop computers or memory upgrades for the laptop. I am tired of the slowness of the laptop, and have been using the desktop alot lately. I really want to get back to using the laptop, as I want to bring it with me to my parties.

There was so much I wanted to do this summer, but the time just slipped away from me. I wanted to finish a pair of socks I started knitting, and then get started on a bunch of items I wanted to have ready for a craft show this fall. I am hoping to make a dent in what I want to get done before November.

I am still holding out for that camper, and possibly a boat. This means I need to either get a job, or seriously start saving up, as I am sure we will need to take stock in polaris sportsman parts for the said boat.

I am on the hunt for a recipe for peanut butter cup bread. I saw some at a Farmer’s Market, but didn’t want to pay the price they had on it. Which got me to thinking, that maybe I could make up my own bread and baked goods to have a stand at a market to make a little extra cash. Something I need to look into very soon!

But for now, I think its going to be a day for lounging at the pool!

…are really not flowing in my house lately! I need, no want to get back into scrapbooking, but I just don’t have the motive to do this right now. I would love to work on some holiday invitations, as well as some knitting, that I could use in some upcoming craft shows, but I just don’t seem to have the energy to do this.

I have been talking so much about how I want to be able to earn some extra money by selling my crafts, but I just seem to be doing only the “talking”, and not the actual work of getting these said items completed, so I can indeed get to the craft shows! I have had all summer to work on stuff, but just don’t. What has been my biggest interference? The computer and all of the stupid games on FB right now! I am obsessed! Its gotten out of control!

Time to reign myself in and get the creative juices aflowing again! If you see me on FB to much, give me a gentle nudge and remind me of all the other stuff I should be doing!

I need to get busy with my crafts, so I can get set up for some craft shows, as I really want some play money! I have the green eyed monster look going on, as I really, really, really want either a Nook Color or a Kindle! I said I would never go that route for reading books, but it seems to be the latest craze, and I want to join in.

I am going to have to look into diamonds international reviews to see if I can find some place that will buy my loose diamond. This will kick start my “I want to spend” account.

I also need to get some pictures of a few items I want to list on craigslist, this won’t be play money, as it will be all put into savings. I have got to get that built back up! I may even try a little harder to find a part time job that will work with the hours I need.

I have changed up my background for my blog once again. I wanted one that would allow me to have tabs at the top. I want to set up a mini, if you will, store for items I have knitted and or crafted, without going the etsy shop route. I will be adding things as I go, and try to find pictures of past items I have made to add as well. You can find it via the 4 Sale tab at the top of my blog.

Hope you like the changes!
