How is it after 4 already?

Ever have one of those days? I can look back and see I did a lot, but I still feel like I got nothing done. I want to have everything I have already made posted in my Etsy shop, I want to release my next pattern (it just needs a few photos added in, and the cover page finished), I want to finish the small pile of sale items I have that need to be finished, and I want to get all that into my stop as well. I want to do all this by this weekend, when I will be spending Sunday at a friend’s studio selling items there.

Yet so far today I have gotten none of that done. At least yesterday I made a case for my patterns.

Ooops, forgot to title this one!

Celebrate cyber week, and extend small business Saturday by shopping at my on line stores! *plus, I could use some help with the bills ;^)* Use coupon code “Holiday” to receive 15% off your entire order in my Etsy store. ALSO: all patterns in my Craftsy and Ravelry stores will be marked down 20%, there is no way to make coupons for those two sites, so I have changed the prices for the patterns for the course of the sale. This sale will run through New Year’s Day. That way you can take advantage of the sale for Holiday gifts, or you can buy yourself goodies with your Holiday money.

There are lots of new goodies at JessieAtHome.com. There will be more coming in the next few days as well.

New things to come…

Tuesday and Thursday of last week were parent/teacher conferences at the girls’ school. This meant half days of school and lots more time at home.

Being creative little ones, they decided craft time was in order.

Freya Vest is done!!

Isn’t she pretty?

That’s my Aunt Joanne. The vest is pretty, too. It’s my Freya vest.

Not quite what I wanted, but it will work

I started writing a wrap pattern at the beginning of October. It was beautiful in my head. Somewhere in the initial planning/math stages, something went awry. I think I tried to do too much. The pretty little picture was much more simple then what happened as I started writing.

So, in the end, I had something much more

Just Hanging Around, Part 2

I finished my free found objects craft this morning. First, and most importantly, I found a lid for my coffee. No drinking sawdust for me!

Then I took those little square pegs and drilled some holes in them. Angled holes at the angled end, and straight in at the flat end.

Just Hanging Around, Part 1

I started a new project on Sunday. Because what I need is a new project. I should be able to finish it tomorrow. In my defense, it is a project that will make an existing project easier.

I started by collecting all the supplies I thought I would need. All stuff found in my garage. OK, the deck posts were laying in the pile of deck wood outside my garage, but the rest was in there.

Snack Bag for school, free knit pattern!

So I wanted a fun snack bag for the girls to use in kindergarten. It seemed like a good excuse to make a new pattern. The snack bag came out adorable, and I felt the need to share it for free with all of blogland! So here you go, my friends.

Painting pottery!

As I am sitting here in Thor, waiting to check into Pennsic, I think I will be productive. You may have noticed I just figured out how to post from my Droid, so I may have many short vacation photos for you throughout the next couple of weeks. As long as I can keep my phone charged, that is.

So, as I was saying, productive.

The girls turned 5 last Friday.
