Well I found a new way to sell around the web its called cartfly. Lets see if it works here. If it does like it should I can update daily.
wuhoo lucky you all!
Woot!! It does seem to work. This is an extention of my etsy shop so if you have any questions or feel better about shopping thru etsy.... I do like etsy better because of the ability to change shipping prices. I put shipping here at a flat rate of 1.00 but that doesnt really work for everything.
What I do like about this is the ability to use the same paypal as always.
Let me know what you all think!!
Last week when Jen from Made by Moms posted on her blog about all her new items she had gotten, I got really excited as I had also bought a custom coaster from Nothinglikeit.
Well my glow in the dark Sadie the Cow is awesome, the only problem being is its daytime so checking out the glow in the darkness has to wait till tonite. Along with Sadie, Robin put in Lazy Lemon, one of her Atomic Veggies. How flipping cute!!!
I say get to her shop http://nothinglikeit.etsy.com and order yours soon because come the holidays I think she will be way too busy to accomodate everyone!!
Well its been forever since I have posted. We are in our rental, looking for a new to us smaller than we had mortgage on a decent house.
I have been doing lots of stitching check out my flickr
well we found a house to rent. its nearly the size of this one, 3 bedrooms 2 baths living room, family room, 2 car garage, half acre lot, only thing missing is a pool.
so now the big crush comes to pack and move in by next week. we set the move in date for july 25th. we will start moving items into the pod we rented and have thta delivered probably the monday after we move in. closing on the house here is july 31.
my embroidery items will be moved by me in my truck i am not packing them up. have to get the cable turned on and electric in our name. they will prolly want a deposit because we will have electric in 2 places at one time.
cable and internet oh yeah i need that on fast!!! cant live without lol.
well its 2 1/2 months since i have felt like blogging.
dh started his new job as a corrections assistant and this week he started in the academy to become a corrections officer. Its a 4 month school where at this point it feels to him like boot came from when he was in the marine corps, but at 52 its much tougher.
Monday was the first day, pulled calf muscle. Tuesday was sore knees with a planned trip to the store to get some bengay or something the next morning. The hours really suck its from 1pm to 10pm so that really gives you no time to do a thing, since its about a 45 min drive.
OH HEY DID I MENTION WE SOLD THE HOUSE??? Guess who gets to do all the packing and looking for a new house while the man is going to school. I think we are both too old for this. I think we will rent for a couple months so that we can take our time looking for a new house to buy.
Doing embroidery is getting pushed to the side I have taken the most time consuming items out if my shop until we are moved. I did happen to purchase a new christmas ornament from Criswell. 
Its available in 2 color ways as shown on this page on Criswells site if anyone would like any of the other designs done they can contact me at my shop and I will see about purchasing the other designs and making them up for you.
Well i want to thank everyone for their good thoughts and wishes. Rob starts a new job Monday so keep all your collective fingers crossed that it goes well. Crappy pay but no gas costs really as its about 4 miles away thats gotta count for something right?
We also changed his shop its now RobsDoodles too many people were asking for graphic design work which he doesnt do.
Some of his new work. 
well its almost 2 months since dh lost his job. we may have something in the works keep your fingers crossed for us!! thank you all for your kind wishes!!!!!!!!
back to blogging about some of my favorite etsy sellers
today is mzkitchen her shop is devoted to mainly vendor aprons with pockets and zippers to keep your money in. some have a hook on them to hold your keys. she and i could work together if you would like to put some embroidery on the apron for you. (shop name?)
well its been a crappy month since i posted last.
rob lost his job and well just havent felt like posting or doing much of anything at all.
the house has been for sale since oct no nibbles but then it is florida......

Those who love fantasy art will love the etsy shop of natalyasots There isnt one piece in the shop that I can say i wouldnt want that in my house. Teacups, teapots, bowls, plates and bells to name a few items.
