Life Is Good: to reflect
http://barbsz-lifeisgood.blogspot.com/2015/04/to-reflect.html
Knit and crochet patterns, bead charts, photos. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. I got some reflective yarn by Red Heart thinking I would make a few simple items to make it easier to be seen while walking the dogs at night. in the colder months I take them during the day, but as things heat up it gets too hot for that. so with this in mind I wanted light weight items that didn't add warmth. I went with a long very skinny scarf that could be worn as a belt or tied on to whatever lol. View my complete profile.

Life Is Good: Setting up to sell
http://barbsz-lifeisgood.blogspot.com/2015/01/setting-up-to-sell.html
Knit and crochet patterns, bead charts, photos. Sunday, January 11, 2015. Setting up to sell. I do events here and there and have a great time doing them, but covering the cost of set up alone can really be pricey. I don't like doing special orders often, I've tried this so many times I have to admit that I like to work on whatever strikes my fancy at the time. With crafting every day, items start to add up. I can't give them all away and still cover the costs of new crafting supplies ;).
