Because of your post, I went to Wendy's blog, bought a candle, and then she went and bought fiber and yarn from my etsy shop! I then immediately turned around and shot off an email to Lisa Souza to buy her Pink Ribbon Yarn to support Miss Violet with her massive Insurance deductible so she can go get the scary lump in her breast checked out. <BR/><BR/>wow. I would buy more from everyone if I could, but being poor myself, selling my things is a way to make a little tiny bit extra to buy from other independent crafters. and i can't wait for my candle!Krista McCurdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965026413390769906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855752.post-1165454530568687672006-12-06T20:22:00.000-05:002006-12-06T20:22:00.000-05:00Kate, I figured I'd just pop over here and reply t...Kate, I figured I'd just pop over here and reply to your comment you left at my place...the needle felting, yes, a fiddling pain in the arse...I ended up taking 2 of the needles and working the strand that way but...I sure wouldn't want to grab one and pull hard...I have a feeling it may just come right off...I'll probably test it out and if it pops off I'll just stitch it...yeah yeah, next time...Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01500636360349398921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855752.post-1165390332436516642006-12-06T02:32:00.000-05:002006-12-06T02:32:00.000-05:00I love that lime and violet put out a list of etsy...I love that lime and violet put out a list of etsy names. Did you see, mine was on that list? it's www.pigeonroofstudios.etsy.com. I was so thrilled! I have to say, I think etsy is just freakingly brilliant, and so what independent crafters needed in order to get our products out there. if you listen to the craftsanity podcast, they did a great interview with one of the founders of etsy.<BR/><BR/>p.s. how's your search for mary poppins coming along? mine seems to have eluded me so far...Krista McCurdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02965026413390769906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855752.post-1165338029350864592006-12-05T12:00:00.000-05:002006-12-05T12:00:00.000-05:00Hey!

My husband makes wood fiber tools (knitting needles, crochet hooks, etc www.jenkinswoodworking.com) and I do the packaging and run the office end. It is not an easy road we've chosen, but we both strongly believe in being self supporting, and provinding quality products that we've made.<BR/><BR/>Is the chapter finished?

I'm scared that nobody will come and equally scared that a lot of people will come and I won't be able to handle it without my usually lameness.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05036515282312483771noreply@blogger.com
