I've been working like a manic elf around here. I'm determined to do some more stash-busting and didn't have the energy to come up with a "boundary breaking" project yesterday, so I made my mother some potholders. They are moving to a new house soon to spend part of the year and she loves my potholders. As in, "Boy, I wish I could have some of these in my new house!"
There's nothing too special about them. I think she's just used to them. I made a big one that you can double for taking out cookie sheets, a doubled small one and a single layer small. (My personal favorite)
I've also been working, working, working trying to build up some stock. I'm finally ready to send out some test packages to friends across the country, to see how they ship and see what shape they are in when they get there. Tomorrow I'll try to figure out shipping costs.
The fact that I am trying to do something that involves a great deal of interaction with the post office will amuse and delight my friends, at least the ones aware of my "postal challenge". I have made people gifts, written out cards, and addressed packages only to hold on to them for six months until I actually see the person. When pressed I will use my assistant (my husband,G) to mail things for me, but I'm going to try my best to overcome my problem. Look at me with my big girl britches on! Wish me luck.
Yank up those britches you stash busting maniac elf! So excited for your shop to open!!!!!
