Today I made my first sale on the Etsy website. The buyer looked at the men's slippers I had listed and requested some further information. Then she ordered a pair. Naturally the pair she wanted wasn't the particular pair that I have in stock, so I'll be knitting up a pair of slippers tomorrow while I'm (hopefully) selling (lots of) stuff at the craft fair in Gillespie.
Here is the photo I had posted:
The request I received was for just plain brown, so of course I'll have to buy another skein of brown yarn to have two strands for the slippers. But I guess I can always use the extra as stems for lots of apple hats.
Here's hoping that I'll have many more sales soon.
I am a married mom of four grown kids, grandma of the world's cutest grandson and most beautiful granddaughter, and was a licensed family child care provider from July 1986 until June 2009. I have earned my Child Development Associate credential and am a nationally certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (in other words, I can tell you more than you want to know about car seats and safe transportation of kids in cars). I have also been described as a "knitaholic" since I can be seen with knitting in hand almost anywhere that I happen to be. Recently I have ventured into the world of spinning my own yarn as well. This blog will chronicle my latest knitting projects, craft fairs, and the other major happenings in my life.
