My husband left this morning for his annual pheasant hunt in South Dakota, so I have the whole week to myself to watch all my programs on TV (and it won't be football!!) and do all the crafting I want. Of course, I'm still making and selling my Rainbow Loom bracelets on Etsy. Here's the most recent one I made using the fishtail pattern and adding a moustache charm in the middle of it:
I can do this while I'm watching TV at night, and still carry on a conversation, if needed. They're fun. Don't forget to visit my Etsy store "Findingtherainbow" to see all the bracelets I've made.
Actually, tomorrow morning I have to drive 1/2 way to Nashville to pick up our oldest grandson, who is flying out to South Dakota to meet up with his Papaw for his first pheasant hunting experience. I know he's probably nervous, because this is a first for him, but he's 15 now, and it's sort of a rite of passage, I guess. The weather here is really starting to feel like Fall, so we're getting ready to hunker down for the winter and get ready for the Holidays. What do you all have planned for the Holiday season? We are having our oldest daughter and her family come up from Florida, and my brother and sister are due to arrive this week-end. It'll be a fun time-getting to see everyone. Take care for now, and stay safe.
After many trials and gnashing of teeth, two of my videos are on Curious.com as lessons. You might have seen them before if you've followed my blog, but go on: http//curious.com/JudyGoodson and watch my 2 lessons. It'll give me some encouragement and make me look good if someone besides just me visits the site. LOL!
Also, I've been selling my Rainbow Loom bracelets like crazy on my Etsy shop. Here's one I made this week, and I just love it! I call it FIESTA.
I am really proud of this bracelet. It's made in the 6 point Hexafish design, and I had to watch the tutorial a bunch of times to figure this one out. Let me tell you, it's impossible with the plastic hook that comes in the Rainbow Loom kit. I had to get out one of my old steel crochet hooks - a small one at that. Once I got the hang of it, it turned out pretty good, I think. I wanted to make the bracelet look like a coral snake on my wrist. Take a look, and let me know what you think. It's listed for sale on my Etsy shop.
This is a video of a really complicated 6-Pin Hexafish Rainbow Loom bracelet that I started working on last night. It is a complicated one, and if you make a mistake, you're screwed. I'll post a picture when I finish mine. It really makes a pretty bracelet.
I have found myself totally addicted to my Rainbow Loom, so that now, if I sit down to watch TV, I am also making a bracelet. Here are some of the ones I've made that are for sale (at a very reasonable price, I might add) in my Etsy store: "Findingtherainbow".
I'm going to be at a scrapbooking retreat starting this Tuesday through Saturday. I'm taking my computer so I can blog about what goes on.
I decided that I need some way to sell some of the crafty things that I make, so I have opened an Etsy shop. It's called "Findingtherainbow", mainly because right now I'm selling my Rainbow Loom bracelets that I'm so addicted to making. However, as you know, I do make the occasional mini- album, and I plan to sell those also. So, I would like to invite you to visit my store whenever you feel like it. At some point you may find something you want.
Also, I am going to Florida again tomorrow, but just for a week, so I will probably send some pictures from the Sunshine State. It's the rainy season down there, so I probably won't be going to the beach - the afternoons are usually washouts. Hopefully, there are no hurricanes sloshing around in the Atlantic. It's 1:00 A.M. right now, and I'm sure my husband is sound asleep, so I'm enjoying the peace and quiet. We have made arrangements to have wooden floors put down in our TV room while I'm gone (to look good with our new living room furniture). Did I send you a photo of our new couches? I'm not sure, so I guess I'll post another. Then imagine how good it'll all look with wood flooring instead of the dirty seafoam green carpet that's there now. I don't know what I was thinking when I ordered that color. We live on a farm with red clay for dirt!! Anyway, I am really looking forward to coming home to a whole new look. Oops, I can't post pictures of the couches because I never took them off my camera. Sorry about that.
The next time you hear from me, I'll be in Jupiter, Florida.
