Goodbye January~~~~~~~~~

I haven't written anything here since right after Christmas, so I'd better at least post before January is gone. I've been busy but not made much headway in the projects department. I did start selling on Etsy, we'll see how that goes. It's cheaper than eBay, and is all handcrafted stuff, or supplies or vintage items. I like it. I listed some of the potholders I made from cotton sweaters I bought cheap at the thrift shop, got some as a gift and made some. I used the serger to edge some of them. They are soft and cute, and look good hanging in the kitchen. I'm going to have to get at more, as I have about 3 boxes of sweaters. Some of them were too nice to cut up. But I did. I've been going thru old decorating magazines, looking at what I marked to make, some of them months or years ago. I ripped out the pages I'd marked, and I'm saving them in a notebook. I don't even remember them from before, but they were good ideas. This way I can at least get rid of the magazines that take up so much room. It just seems it takes me longer to get projects done than it used to. It may be that I'm older? Here's my potholders:
