Boo To You, Too!

It's Shameless Commerce Tuesday, and today I'm featuring my Halloween bunting


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.

    1. It 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.
