Creative Dungeon Progress!

I made some progress on the Creative Dungeon, which is what I refer to my crafty space as.  Thankfully, my sister-in-law helped me out!  Of course I let her go "shopping" through some of the stuff I have for sale ;)

I'm SO glad eBay is having another sale starting tomorrow.  I have a little over 800 items to list!

I've started listing stockings on Etsy in the past few days.  I hope to have more up this year than ever before.

My crafty area needs to be semi-set up/cleaned up so that when my twin nieces visit next weekend we have plenty of room to craft!  So, really trying to work on that this weekend/next week.

Then, I really have to get it set up and ready for the great Christmas Crafting Rush! 

I'm hoping to outdo my sales records once again this year.  I really need it ... I have several bills that I'm hoping to pay off between now and Christmas.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it happens!  This means we'll be buying people less things for Christmas ... which in turn means I'll be giving more handmade items!

It's Been a While ...

It's been a couple years, huh?  HAHAH.

Well, I'm going to attempt to keep this blog up once again.

I've found myself busy with Etsy and eBay orders, and not a lot of time for things like blogging.  But!  The summer time is my slower time, so I'm hoping to get this going again.

I've been starting my Christmas stuff earlier and earlier every year, and it seems to work really well, as my sales have increased every year.  Last year I started around October.  This year I hope to get an even earlier start:  August!  I'd actually like to at least get some planning and scheduling of my time done while we're in July though. 

I know I'll be making my usual stockings, and my jewelry and hair bows have done really well recently.  I'm thinking about adding other sewn things like pot holders, bookmarks, cat mats, cat toys, etc.  We'll see!
