Update

I'd like to say I've been bustin a move making new bags since September but I have to admit I've had stretches of inactivity :( Who knew husband's could be so distracting?!

My whole shop sale was a success and lasted from December thru the end of February. I tried to get my item count up past 40 but I'd list a few bags and then sell out of a few.

I've got 10 new bags that are finished and waiting for pictures. If it would stop raining maybe I could get them taken tomorrow. I've been digging thru my vast stash and have the potential of 40-50 new bag prints to add to my shop (about 50/50 drawstring/zipper box). Now if I could just quit my day job and work full time in my Etsy shop I'd be in heaven and would get my stock up past 80 bags in no time at all.

I admit it, I'm someone who loves fabric. I could go to FAA (Fiber Addicts Anonymous) and just gush about the different fabrics I've found different places. But after realizing how many new prints for my shop I have, I've put a moratorium on buying anything more until I've made at least half the bags I talked about above. Guess I could call it a fabric diet. The same craving and temptations still occur. Especially when I get the sales emails for the site that gives free shipping on all orders over $35. When you live in Hawaii, the free shipping alone saves you $12!

Now did I tell you I've been craving knitting something too? Its a cool 68 here at night and I'm usually snuggling in a sweatshirt under a blanket. For a girl who's lived her whole life in upstate NY, you would think I'd be screaming "heat wave!" in the beginning of March but my blood thinned about 6 weeks after I moved to Hawaii and I get cold when it dips below 70 now. I could probably get away with knitting a shall at night but alas, the buying moratorium extends to all things fiber related :(

Well TTFN. I need to make sure my camera battery is charged for potential pictures tomorrow!
