YIKES! My bad

I just realized my life has taken over and I just haven't written anything in ummm more than 6months!
I guess first things let me catch you up a bit on me! I have moved into a town house, and loving my new place. I got engaged over the summer and planing my wedding. Thank god for Etsy and my BFF!!!! My sisters wedding is in less than two weeks and I am going slightly crazy!

That is my life in a nut shell.

2 Much Yarn has had some great selling days, thanks to being on the front page. I wanted to say Thank you for all the orders. It still blows my mind sometimes that other people think my work is great. I appreciate your orders.
My slippers are a hot commodity again this year. Have you seen a pair you love yet? They make a great stocking stuffer !
Also stay warm this winter with a stylish hat and scarf set from 2 Much Yarn. I can customize anything just let me know!


But there are other great shops on Etsy. Here is one I have purchased from recently.

I am loving Sweet and Sassy 's Shop on Etsy! I have been buying a few cards from her lately and they are just lovely! As, my family can tell you I am not a card person. Mostly because I hate to throw them out and if I feel that way other people must, so I just throw a "from" tag on the gift.
Sweets card are beautiful though, how could I resist sending out just a few cards! She has cards for all kinds of occasions and I do mean every occasion. Congratulations on your colonoscopy card made me giggle just a bit!
I love the Wedding cards and Thank You cards I have purchased from her. They always arrive quick and if I have any questions along the way, she answers them quickly. I most defiantly will be back to her shop in future.

The creativity and the work that goes into these cards is amazing. Most people don't believe me when I say they are hand made. Here is an example of her work! Don't forget to visit her shop!
Well thanks for stooping by again, and keep on Hook'n

Oh Monday's

So today is Monday . Why are Mondays so dreaded? Well let me tell you.

Everything you think can go bad always does, especially on Mondays and Fridays! Why you might ask well again here is my theory!
Mondays everything goes wrong because we want our weekends back. We like relaxing and doing out own thing with out having to be up at certain times, we can take naps, which will make everyone a little more productive in my mind...well okay maybe just me! We are able to fit exercise in with the work that needs to be done.

Mondays are back to getting up working rushing in the evening to get everything done, well for me at least that laundry, run, dinner, lunches for the next day, and maybe 30 mins of tv time.


Fridays everything goes wrong because we are soooooo looking forwards to the weekend. Maybe we made some great plans and are super excited about that! Who knows but I love Fridays until things start going wrong and keep me at work late.



I always say OH MONDAYS!!! but one key thing is I check out Etsy see some great friends and decide that the weekend will come soon enough!



So what to see what I have been checking out? Well these are an assorted items from the two threads I participate in activity Oh Canada and Booty Thread : Both the picture and shop names are clickable!







Flirtbuttons

RhisbitsandBeads











2muchyarn



Maplecreeksoap's shop

Well those are some of the great finds for today! Keep shopping to make Mondays and Fridays Better :)

Blog Postings

I was looking through my blog postings to see what I have written to give me a bit on inspiration. I love writing but sometimes I just don't think anything I have to say/show is really that interesting. As I read over past blog posts, I started looking at the comments and followers I have. I know I don't have a large following but I do have 88 great followers...who needs more than that anyways!

I love getting comments on my blogs and everyone has been so supportive in the comments they leave. Sometimes when having a bad day, I just come on and read some great comments or head over to my Booty BNR.

Mr.P and I have made some great changes in our relationship and all for the better. More quality time together and we have set a No electronic after 8 pm rule (except for Booty Tuesday). So my blog posting are a little bit longer apart but I think that's okay and I know you trusted followers will read them when I finally do get around to posting something!

So thank you for reading, commenting and following. I really do love to hear what you have to say.

Don't forget to check out some great crochet stuff at www.2muchyarn.etsy.com

Booty Madness

I have been hanging out in the forums on Etsy lately and I just keep thinking about how great it is. I have met some great people there. I love the Booty BNR I am on (BNR= buy and Replace) Its a great group of women who love to craft and promote each others shops. I have bought a lot of great items from these women.

Sassyaccents was a great store to buy from. She makes these awesome watch bands. The watch bands are beautifully beaded and you can easily switch the band for another one to match what ever you are wearing that day. I bought a beautiful green beaded band that everyone at work compliments. I love the colours on this one!








Another great shop is MonkeyThreads. Her shop is filled with Vinyl decals, really anything that you are looking for! She has decals for your computer, wall and even your car.I bought some great Wall decals to dress up my studying area and to give some inspirations when that writers block came on.


Both Shops have great customer Service and the Shipping was super fast from the USA to Canada. I have been back to both shops for additional purchases after my first ones from them.

So have I intrigued you enough to come shopping at the Booty Thread ? You should, we are a great group of crafters and can't wait to meet you! This is the place to make new friend ships, promote your shop, make some sales. But the best part is having a great laugh with these women. So open your wallets a bit and come join us!

Found : CUTE ETSY SHOP


As soon as I saw her shop name I had to check her shop out on Etsy. I was so surprised to see a very cute shop for KIDS :) I think I have baby on the mind which is one of the many reasons I fell in LOVE with this shop. Her work is beautifully photograph and has great models showing off the shirt, which I believe adds to the cuteness of each item.

This Etsy Shop owner is from Tampa Bay Florida, and has been sewing for over 10 years. Her work is just adored by those who have had the opportunity to buy from her. Check out her great feedback.

Her t-shirt Appliques are just to die for. Especially if you have young kids.
Keep on Hook'n or Sew'n. :)
