Graphic Designs Books

My first two design books have arrived, I will be posting my thoughts on them as I read them.

Updates

There's been a lot going on lately.

I finally have a day planner so I can get myself organized and make sure I make time for the kids, my business, study and housework. I have made some sales on Etsy recently so I may need to try and find more time for that.

We are moving forward with the sale of our old house so I will be able to start thinking about shopping again soon :).

Our son has started standing up by himself, he's so close to walking now, it goes so fast.

This weekend we have the mommies group annual picnic which should be really good fun. Only 2 more weekends and then it's Labor Day weekend, we set that time aside to do some intensive potty training for our daughter, she's almost 3 and it's time to say bye bye to diapers.

I am still waiting for the book I ordered about graphic design to come. I forgot to update Ebay with our new address so I will have to wait for it to be redirected. Shouldn't be long now. Then I have to make sure I take time each day for study. I will probably go to bed early and work up there away from the TV.

So that's about it for the moment. There is going to be lots to do in the coming weeks, both the kids have their birthdays at the end of next month. We're not going crazy but we will be having a little party for them both.

Summer is Still Here

I have decided to try out using my blog to promote other Esty sellers. I started by featuring a knitter last week and this week I am going to be giving you my six seller treasury list.

I call this treasury 'Summer is Still Here' most crafters are getting started on halloween and holiday items and I wanted to remind everyone that summer is not over yet.

Waiting for my book

I am really hoping that the graphic design book I ordered will be in the mail today. That or at least one of the three Etsy orders I am waiting for.

I have started a thread in the Etsy forum to do a weekly treasury in my blog. I hope to have it together by tomorrow and feature 6 items from Etsy sellers stores.

I have had responses from 18 different stores some I am going to have to spend a bit of time picking just 6 items.

Space Invader Stitch Markers

I just made these retro Space Invaders stitch markers. A fun knitting accessory for all those children of the 80's. They come with a matching paper pillow gift box.
