Good Times

Participated in another Holiday Bazaar.  The Grout Elementary School.  Did not sell much but met some really nice people.  I love how this organization helps the vendors.  I needed help with someone carrying my table.  So grateful.  Got the help I needed.  Makes a big difference in unloading and loading again. 

Getting some action selling on Etsy and have a few commissions.  It's not much but that's fine for now.   Enjoying the knitting. 

Got my nails done.  They are my REAL nails.  Manicure and polish.  They look GREAT.  I hope I don't break them in the next three weeks.  I haven't had a manicure with my real nails for over, maybe, 20 years.  I have a great nail salon which really makes the difference.  Not having acrylics saves on money too.

Put up my tree.  So far no real problems with my cat ruining the tree experience.  I actually love how I have decorated my tree.  No ornaments.  Something I have always wanted to do.  Just ribbon and bows with white lights.  I am wrapping my presents to match the ribbons and bows on the tree.  

Going to the movies with a friend tomorrow.  Have been going by myself for quit awhile now.  I really enjoy going by myself. 

I am enjoying my time off.  I have been committed to going to the gym.  And I am LOVING it.  I feel so much better.  I am trying really hard to stick with the gym and making it a part of my life that I cannot do without like I use to do when I was in my 20's and 30's. 

Thanksgiving will be with my Mother's side of the family.  Looking forward to it.  My brother has been wanting to involve me a little more on that side of the family.  I rather enjoy my Brother thinking about me.  I don't know how to react to it though.  Take it slow and be aware. 

West Lin HOliday Bazaar 2015

What a delightful experience.  I have grown to really like selling my wares at this event.  I think it is my 4th time. 

Received compliments and made a few sales.  Not my projected goal but nonetheless = I sold 4 items.  Did not have much competition this year.  My knits were a stand out and far as quality goes.  As well as uniqueness. 

It was my first experience = using my Smart Phone while at this event.  I could actually do business and did not have to wait until I got home to use my computer.  I kept FB friends posted as the day went along.  Never done that before.  Now that I have a Instragram account = I posted pictures as the day went along.  Posted when I sold and item and could show what item it was.  It was SO MUCH FUN. 

Love my Smart PHone.  I know there are friends that will tell me "I told you so".  But it is so true ~ I don't know what I would do without  my Oh so Smart Phone.

I only had 3 or 4 hours of sleep so I got a bit sore moving and walking a lot during the day. 

I knit a new Hat.  It is always a good selling point to see me knitting while people shop.  Watching me knit = that is.  And, of course, I posted on FB and Instragram on

my progress while knitting my hat. 

Life Is Moving Right Along

There is no procrastination goin on.  Get up, look at my list, do everything on the list for that day, can celebrate in the evenings knowing that I did everything I was suppose to do to live a relaxed and peaceful existence.

New hair-do.  Gotten so many compliments = going to keep this one for awhile.

Relationship with BillieJean is less stressful.  Still have issues but I have a better understanding with my animal.  For now.  Have to do new rituals.  These rituals have made her happy.  I guess.  I am not a Cat so I think with human reasoning.

Seeing all these wonderful screener's.  I have been collecting a lovely film library.  Still have my free pass until December so I have seen at least 20 films on the big screen.  I will be extremely educated when I get to vote this year.

My Holiday events are coming up.  Looking forward to them.  I have cleaned my inventory and knit new items.  Have not sold one item on Etsy and it is already November.  Not a good sign.  I have had requests for some knits but no one has followed thru as yet.  Let's see what happens when I get to sell in person.  Sure hope I can let go of some inventory and make a small profit this year.

I am still going to pursue looking for a bakery job.  I would like to go back into the food industry.  I would also like to be a part of the baking process = if that is possible.

Have a very complicated reading coming up.  Why would I think it would be easy.  I only seem to attract myself to difficult projects.  Sure hope I can handle it.  The woman who runs the new "Reading Parlor" seems to think I am the right person for this particular role.  Glad she has faith in me.  Since I am not very trusting these days, we will see.

Love my new Hair style.  The best hairstylist I think I have ever had.  Truly.  She does exactly what I imagine or explain.  Her costs are so reasonable and her shop is so cozy and easy to get to.  Dani Myers.
