Although I'm in a minor pre-holiday panic, I need to remember that Halloween is just around the corner, and it is one of Etsy's hottest trends -- along with steampunk and personalization. Sadly, my new embroidery machine is still in the box, so I don't have any personalized monogrammed items made or listed yet.
Christmas is still 70-some days away (check the widget at the bottom of my blog page for a more accurate countdown to Christmas).
It's a crazy busy week. I'm working on some big custom orders and working every day this week at the quilt shop. Just finished a legal research project. I hope to catch at least 4 hours of sleep before the alarm goes off at 5:00 am. I need to get some sewing done and make a post office run before work. I'm truly grateful for the work, but I'm really, really tired! I had to cancel all 4 Fall craft fairs due to work commitments.
I'm really trying to keep calm and carry on.

Oh wow! You have so much going on!! I bet you're itching to try out the embroidery machine :) Love the fabrics you used for your Halloween banner!
ReplyDeleteI AM anxious to try out the embroidery machine! So many ideas!
DeleteWow - congrats on being so busy! Hope you can get that cosmic machine unpacked fast!
ReplyDeleteHa.Ha. My new boss at the quilt shop has volunteered to coach me when I finally get the machine out of the box!
DeleteI love bunting decorations! It's such a cute and easy way to doll up a mantle. Yours is wonderful - such fun colors and fabrics!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I love buntings. Eco-friendly and easy to store --- and cheery!
ReplyDeleteWhew! Be sure to get some rest! You're a busy little bee.
ReplyDeleteHa.Ha. My new motto: Go, granny, go!
DeleteWow, only 75 days til Christmas! That seems way too soon!
ReplyDeleteYour banner is so cute :)
Hope you get some rest soon!
Thanks, Edi!
DeleteThat bunting is so cute! Good luck getting everything done! I hope you get some time to rest soon.
ReplyDeleteYikes!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I want to know how many days there are till Christmas! gaaah!
cute bunting!
The Christmas countdown is a little frightening.
DeleteLOVE the bunting! Busy is good but I'm sorry you had to cancel the shows.
ReplyDeleteIt was a HUGE disappointment to cancel the shows. One will send a booth fee refund. And I had purchased display pieces and made some items that I am allowed to sell at craft fairs but not online. Long-term, it will be better having some regular income from the quilt shop, but it has been quite disruptive of "best laid plans" for this Fall.
