IBH shop of the Week

My spotlight shop this week is ; http://www.etsy.com/shop/YankeeBurrowCreation

This shop carries a variety of different items, from traditional crocheted items for adults and children, to vintage and wedding items. With this much diversity there has got to be something that you just have to have.

I particularly love these; they would be a really cute addition to your summer closet.

And this would be appropriate for the cool weather that is starting to descend on those of us who live in the northern hemisphere; With the cool weather today, I am definitely feeling the need for one of these, Brrrrr !!!!!

If you get a chance, be sure to check out Debbi and Amanda's shop, it could be well worth your time :)

Well the this week has been a really busy one, I can't believe how fast the time is going, before we know it summer will be over. I know, nobody really wants to hear that, but I swear every time I blink it is speeding by faster and faster, funny thing is my daughter said the same thing to me the other day.

Lots of things going on, I made the decision to put some of my handmade items back up for sale, they are in the one shop now with the supplies, it is easier to promote that way. Having a handmade and a supply shop just didn't make any sense with my work schedule the way it is, we are gearing up for the upcoming craft fairs this fall, any free moment that I have I have been sewing up a storm. Some of it is already being posted in the shop, others have been set aside to go to the craft fairs. I have found keeping things separated works better for me, that way when the date comes around all I have to do it grab the bins for the craft fairs and we head out the door.

Well that is it for now, headed off to spend some quality time with my son, before he doesn't have time anymore. Enjoy the rest of your week and the hot weather that goes with it :)

Well it has been awhile since I have had a chance to write, alot of things are going on some good, some not so good.

Good:
My son is now officially enlisted in the Air Force, he can be call anytime after June 20th to do his basic training and from there go to where ever they need him to. He has chosen to work on the big plane engines, doing what I haven't the foggest idea, but as long as he is happy, that's all that matters. My daughters boyfriend has been in Greenland working on their networking issues most of the week, then sometime this year he is suppose to go south for 6 months for more training in his particular Air Force training, so things are finally on track for that.

I have started the signing up progress to get into the fall craft fairs, biggest problem there is that I only just found the listings and most of them are already filled in my area, so I have been putting myself on the waiting lists for cancellations, but if nothing else I can back track through my email and possibly get the ball rolling on these in January of next year so that I can do them next year.

My husbands work is going full steam ahead, which is good, but the bad part is no time to QUILT. I have been trying to fit in time for hand sewing, but sometimes there is no time at the end of day for even that. Someday when things slow down, I will be ready to sew, then watch out :)

Bad:

We are still struggling with medical paperwork for health coverage for my son til he goes into the Air Force. I have filled the applications out three times, and each time they come back to be refilled out again, because they can't find out in what tier we fit. At this rate, I am thinking he will probably get called out to do basic and I will get the call the next day that they have found what tier we fit in and we won't need it anymore. Oh well, such is life.

Everything else is going along, summer is coming, hopefully time lounging in a lawn chair looking out over a lake is in the future.
Til then, everybody have a gorgeous spring :)
