Craftsy Classes

I've recently become a fan of Craftsy's web classes. If you are looking to learn a craft have a look. They even have a class on tatting taught by Merilee Rockley. She's yarnplayer at etsy in case you didn't know. I'm a big fan of her dyed threads.

Oh, and they have sales on classes often. I'll post when they do here at my blog so you'll know. Just click on the link to get to their site.

Thanks!

It's My Birthday But You Get The Gift at Etsy!

New Puppy Keeping Me Busy But There are New Shuttles at Etsy!

This is the new member of the family. His name is Dillon. I wanted Dylan but my husband insisted on Dillon. Of course he get's called Dilly more than anything. He's really smart and catching on to housebreaking. He'll be 11 weeks this Sunday. Our cocker spaniel is so happy to have a new playmate. Cory may be 10 but he's still extremely playful.

Having to be with him all the time is keeping me from doing much else but I did get new Aerlit shuttles and bobbins up at my etsy store. I also have Aero shuttles and a few other kinds, too.

Here's a pic of the blue Aerlit so you can see how they are packaged. I don't have every color in stock so if you've been to the Handy Hands site and saw a color I don't have at my etsy store, just convo me thru etsy and I'll see if I can get it for you. Same goes with anything you see at Handy Hands. I don't sell thread any more unless you are willing to order a full box. That means the balls are the same size but can be mixed colors. For lizbeth you must order 5 balls, and for DMC yu must order10. I do give  20% discount on all boxes ordered.

A New Year

I know it's been awhile since I last posted. It seems like so much was keeping from the computer and now it's not working again. It seems like every Dec/Jan it gets a virus. This time nothing is showing up with virus scan but it keeps freezing so until I make the time to get our computer fixed I'm using my husband's laptop. He finally bought one to take when he travels but it's really getting a workout now :)  The guys I was using for tech service closed shop so I'm not sure where to take it now. Hate to think about it but I'm getting it's going to need a full restore and that will mean I'll lose my office 2007. My old tech guys put it on and I never did a backup of it. Now I wouldn't trust any program not to be compromised in some way. Need to get a computer just for me since it seems like every time something goes wrong it's my husband who's been using it.

No new info on the tatting book. Taking a lot longer due to unforseen problems. The seasonal tatting patterns are on hold until I get the main computer running again since that's the one with all the software I need.

Fighting a cold so I haven't been sewing either. I did get my sewing room sorted and some sewing done, just nothing new for sale.

Have been spending time over at Pinterest making favorite boards.Love that place and can spend all day looking at all the great stuff that shared.
