Etsy here I come....

Well I have been working on getting my Christmas presents out of the way and I decided against making 30+ dishrags to give this year. I am so bloody tired of that pattern that I could just pass out. I have came up with the most precious little star pattern that I found on Ravelry and adapted it to suit my needs.

I am also thinking about opening up my own Etsy store. I have already registered myself under the name BakerThird. I just need to get my paypal account in order as far as getting my name changed since it is still listed under my maiden name. I am tempted to just close the thing and reopen it under my married name but I don't know how they will like that. If anyone has any experience with paypal please enlighten me. I just don't feel comfortable faxing a copy of my driver's license and a copy of my marriage certificate to them no matter how secure they are.

As far as selling things I am not trying to make a fortune or anything, I would just like to sell a few items to keep up my yarn habit not make a living. I guess we will see how successful I am once I get a few things made to try to sell.

I have many WIPs that need to be finished including some longies that I made for Samson. I just need about another 2 inches on the legs and to make a drawstring and they will be done.

October is here.

Well between crocheting and knitting and taking care of the family, time does fly. We are now already 10 days into October. I am still working on Samson's big boy afghan for his big boy bed we hope to get him for Christmas. He is almost 15 months old (well he will be on the 26th) and he is taking me to his crib when I ask him if he is ready to go night-night. We are planning to start trying to get pregnant again in January but we will see how that goes. We would like to have our kids somewhat close in age.

I have enjoyed my adventures in crocheting but I have kind of fell off the wagon. With Christmas coming up, I would rather spend my time knitting dish clothes to give away as presents. I may go to town and buy some dish towels to crochet towel toppers to but I am not certain at this point. I am in the process of making Samson some knitted longies for winter since we try to cloth diaper him at home as much as possible. This has helped with the diapering expense and I intend to cloth diaper the next one just start sooner than at six months. Also my MIL is not able to fully regulate the temperature in her shop where she keeps Samson and my niece (who is now 4 months old) so the extra warmth of having wool pants on will help some.

Thankfuls:
1. I am thankful the weather has cooled off some. I love the brisk air of fall.
2. I am thankful for the small blessings in life.
3. I am thankful for having the free time to knit and crochet because it helps me relax on tough days.
