I heart Etsy!

The etsy shop is finally starting to take off! Yay! I've been contacted by a few people asking for custom orders - just small motifs, but it's a start. I've also decided to break down and order a huge amount of Turkish thread to sell and also have available to use for the custom orders. There are so many colors to choose from!


I'll have solids, variegates and two different types of metallics in addition to the Valdani hand dyed threads I already carry.



Plus, I've been able to finally get some more tatting done. I'm hoping to get that listed this week as well.



It's so hard to get anything done right now. My almost 4 yr. old DS has been demanding almost constant attention (unless he is sitting in front of the tv!). And the weather has finally become springlike so both kids want to be outside. It's so difficult to juggle everything that I would like to do in a day - I need more hours! How do working mothers do it?


I've also realized there is no way I'll fit into my summer clothes, so I have to find some time to get back on my Isagenix program and start working out. My goal is to drop ten pounds this month.


Wow, this turned into a rant . . .

What a beautiful selection; I can imagine you are so anxious to get to your tatting!

That is a lot of thread to play with and a wide range of colours too. Best wishes your Etsy shop.

Hi Trina! I LOVE my OB threads, especially the mettalic choices. I also like the Alton B. threads, but prefer the OB metallic over the AB that has metallic within the core thread. I think one has to tat looser tension with that thread to be successful. I wish you great success with ETSY site, because I enjoy ordering OB and AB from you! hugs Bev - Ridgetatter
