The Sale is On

I just finished listing my first offerings for my $25 and under sale on my selling blog ~By My Hand~.  You can click here to check it out!  Actually only one item that I listed is over $20, so I think I did pretty good with pricing :)  Here are a few of the offerings I put up…

There are a few cross stitched items listed also.  I didn’t get my dolls dressed yet, so they will be listed in a day or so, and hopefully along with a few more things I have been working on.  I haven’t done much but cross stitch lately, and I really loved sewing these critters for a change of pace.  And if you know me, you know that I like a little ‘bang for my buck’, so I loved that all of these guys would be great to decorate with from Summer through Fall.  I only wish I had gone upstairs and dug out a few fake pumpkins to take some pictures with too.

Besides making things to list, we are slowly trying to adjust to the boys being out of school.  I think they really look forward to the last day every year, but every year, about 3 days in to summer vacation, they are bored! lol  I’ve tried to keep them fairly busy with helping to get the garden put in and keeping the grass mowed and trimmed.  If they aren’t busy doing something, then they want to camp out in my kitchen…and my wallet does NOT like that!  lol  The neighbor has hired the older 2 to do a few jobs around his farm, so today, they took the quad across the orchard to his property to pull the cat tails out of his pond.  I don’t even want to imagine what they are going to look like when they come home from doing that!  We’ve had to do that to our pond a few times over the years, and it is one mucky dirty mess! 

Timmy-kins is really getting big too! 

No more using one hand to carry this guy around!  We’ve still been carrying him in to his tank in the house at night, but it won’t be long before he is spending his nights outside.  He kicks and wiggles whenever you pick him up, but he is so happy when he’s all tucked in his tank and he sits there and happily preens himself and peeps away :)

Well, I called my mom in the middle of writing this post (and she is still talking away in my ear, lol) so I’d better get it finished and posted.  I have some dolls to dress!
