Flying Geese. I’ve had a very long, passionate, and distant love affair with this block. It makes me swoon each and every time I see it. Distant because I’d never made any.
I put an end to that this week. The Angler 2 was tired of sitting in its plastic bag. A demonstration by a woman [...]

The Angler 2
Snow Day
The early morning brought snow and no school. It was all gone by late afternoon. The weather forecast is predicting a bigger storm tonight. I feel exactly the same way I did when I was 12. We’d stay up late, noses pressed against the window, watching the snow fall and praying for a Snow Day. [...]
UFO Sighting
My Out of the Box creativity group kicked off 2008 with a New Year’s worthy bang. We actually took on two challenges, no fear as we flipped the calendar to January! The first item drawn from the box was to finish a UFO. I totally dug the symbolic timing of that entry. (I’ll share the [...]
Selling on eBay V – Show Me The Money
The dough! Get it, the dough. One of my favorite things about having children are all the jokes that no one gets. Masa is probably stretching it here. The girls and I made tamales for Christmas Eve. Chicken, Monterey Jack cheese (just a smidgen), and homemade salsa verde. Definitely an IOU recipe post.
Drum roll, please [...]

Selling on eBay – Part II (Auction Template)
Selling on eBay – Part III (Shipping)
If you’ve ever received a “just the facts ma’am” package from me please don’t feel slighted. The trend of making the insides of an Etsy or eBay order look like a gift definitely flew over [...]
Podcast
Adrienne of Real Life: Live & Unscripted invited me to do one of her podcasts last month. Nothing more weird than listening to your own voice on tape! I love this gal and ALL the amazing things she creates. Very fun to chat with her on the phone live. You can listen to the [...]

Selling on eBay – Part II (Auction Template)
Shipping, holey moley. I think I’ve now packaged up every conceivable type of box and envelope the USPS offers. I also have a UPS account, it generally doesn’t stack up competitively until the weight hits 7 or 8 pounds. Even then [...]
Selling on eBay – Part II
Selling on eBay – Part I.
Creating a template that can be re-used for all my listings was well worth the time spent designing it. There’s an area on the eBay page for a description of the item being sold. Instead of typing in a description you can paste in a page of html. I created [...]
Selling on eBay – Part 1
First I have to share a funny story. This story started the whole “let’s sell everything we own on eBay” extravaganza.
As the elves started wrapping gifts for the young children, mommy elf found a present that was left from the prior year’s Christmas. The elves hide the gifts in the same place very year. The [...]
Happy New Year
My theme for 2008 is focus. Listening closely to my own voice. Deciding what I really want. Pushing all the clutter to the wayside.
The decluttering kicked off on a physical level in my sewing room. I removed all of the fabrics I keep passing over project after project. Time for them to go. I have [...]
