New Etsy store and general news

I have started my Etsy store.  I am so excited!  I have only one item up just now but will expand on that tomorrow.  I have made several other items and taken the pictures, I just need to add everything online.  My new store can be viewed here: Danielle's Etsy Store.

I was so excited today to receive a wonderful sample from Green Mountain Coffee.  I had signed up for a sample of some their Fair Trade varieties in K Cup form for my Keurig.  I was expecting a cup and perhaps a coupon.  I received 4 K Cups (people who opted for loose ground got a whole bag not just one pot) in two different flavors and a travel mug.  Talk about customer service.  It all came within 2 weeks of my request!

I finished another hat today.  I am going to be doing a lot of them.  I want to put a few in my local textile guild's store, list a few on my Etsy store, and donate a few to the charities our guild is supporting this holiday season.  This is in addition to the fact that I am making one for almost everyone on my Christmas list!  I will not let it become a chore instead of a pleasure though.  Whenever I get a bit tired of knitting or crocheting hats I will either work on another needlecraft project, switch to my current sewing project, enjoy my favorite online game for a while, etc . . .

Ryan and I are having our friends Phil and Sabrina over for dinner Saturday night.  I haven't come up with a specific menu yet.  If the weather is nice we are going to grill chicken breasts outside.  Other than that, or an idea for the marinade, I haven't explored yet.

Tomorrow's goals are:  List at least two more of my crafts on Etsy.  Add at least one more of my poems or other art works to my deviantArt page.  Do one load of laundry, including folding :-( .   Remember not to get frustrated if things take longer than I expect to accomplish!
