✔Spray painted more clipboards.

 ✔Booked two craft shows.  One in Nov. and one in Dec.
✔Cut up 10 yards of blue netting, cut up 10 yards of netting, then pink is next.  It's quite a job too.  I have to cut 10 yards in 3 inch strips.  I found an easier way, but it's still time consuming.
I want to add items to my craft shows for men.  What else besides these items would sell?

 Hat
Scarf
Bookmark
Cup cozy
Slippers?  Not sure these would sell
eyeglass cases

I have never sold them, but for winter my hubby loves this ear warmer. http://www.grandioseideas.com/?p=58.
Didn't know if you do Ravelry. Pattern is on there. The ear band cups the ears and are so warm. I make for women and men. Just adjust the length.

My son who works on cars and plows etc. in the wintertime really liked the fingerless mitts I made him. There are also patterns for ones that convert from regular mittens to fingerless and back again. You can also knit or crochet neck ties and bow ties. Of course hats or earmuffs are always needed and I think the cowls are better than scarves. Just my opinion.

Fingerless gloves for the guys? They sure are handy when you need to use your fingers to do a job on cold days.

HI Kristina,
I wonder if guys would like those rice filled heat/cold packs that you make with fabric. Especially if you did them in team colors or even team specific fabrics. Hope your sales go well !

Debby that's another great idea. I need one for myself. I may need to get the sewing machine out soon.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
