This is a beautiful Denim Blue roving. It is soft and bouncy and would spin wonderfully.There is no vegetation matter or felted pieces in this roving.There are 8 ounces in this bundle. I have tried spinning some myself and it was great! If you love spinning this is a "must have" as a present for yourself or a loved one.

Well today I renewed and edited this listing for blue roving. My rovings on etsy seem to sell the best. Just today I got another person from New York buying some from me. The only problem right now is that my roving supply is starting to run low and it takes a good bit of money to go out and buy a bunch of it at once. In any case I got some more coming in the mail soon. It should be more white, black and brown. I completely sold out of black last month. I think I should make that color one of my regulars since people seemed to love it so much. For the first time since I started selling it I am just about sold out of white roving...wow. As for the brown color that's coming in...I'm not sure what I'm getting. Some brown colors sell really well but others are just nasty. I'm just going to have faith in my supplier that she'll send me something good.

Finally my free day is upon me...sort of. I might not have work today but I have a long list of things that I need to be doing around the apartment. Today doesn't look like there is going to be any free and fun moments. Once I'm done with this post I'm going to be heading to town to cash a check and send some of my etsy items that sold. After that I have to get my taxes done for my business license. I also have three Infobarrel articles to write...

I do plan on getting some baking done today before I cash in. I would really like some home made bread and I still have a box of cake mix to try to make into cupcakes. That will probably be later tonight after everything is done.

Well it looks like I am yet again full powering myself into bubblews.com. I finally got my bill for my tuition this semester. It looks like I'm going to be taking a bite out of my savings which is not a happy thing in my mind right now. At my job I earn 800-850$ a month. If I save up that much every month it will cover my rent and tuition but I still have living expences to worry about. Living expences come up to about 200$ dollars a month.

So either I'm going to have to start looking for a second job or I'm going to have to get one redeem on bubblews a week plus whatever else I can scavenge from other sites like etsy and infobarrel.

Sorry I didn't manage to get much done over the last couple days. I'm still feeling a bit out of motivation but I'm not letting that get me down. Today I have to work on my other crafting blog and find some more people to post about since it seems I'm starting to run low. While I'm waiting for those people to get back to me I'll work on infobarrel a head of time. I have to write a couple posts for that place tomorrow but its best to get a head of things.

That is if pinterest doesn't suck me in. I do want to get some socializing done there though. I finally got 1200 followers!! I'm really happy about that one...

I also have to head into work today. I don't intend to be quite as droopy as I have been at work the last couple times. I just need to get my job done and do it well. I need to keep my personality to myself...

Six Felted Dark Brown Blue and Purple Embroidered Beads

Well what can I say I had a felting needle,wool thread and idle hands so I made these knowing that some people love to use them in crafts.These tiny beads have been needle felted from soft wool. Use them on all your projects as~
Buttons
Beads
Cat toy
Embellishments
or maybe
Glue them on a hair barrette
As game pieces or marbles
Sew them onto a bag or knitted sweater
Attach them onto cards and packages
Sit them in a pretty glass bowl :)
Or anything else you would like. Use your head and you could find a hundred ways to use these. These felted balls do not have holes on them for stringing them, so if you want to use them as beads you will have to use a needle to string them.

They can be sewn, glued, appliqued...you name it!
They measure about 1 inch tall but they are not all the same size. If you buy this you will be getting a lot of six felted balls in the mail.

If you would like them made with different colors or quantity from what is shown just contact me and I'll see what I can do.

Finally the weekend is here. I just have to get through one more shift at work today and then I'm free until monday. I guess I can start planning out what I'm going to be working on tomorrow. I have a couple of project that are half finished that I can wrap up. I can also work on a couple more felting balls like what you see above.

I never did get back to work on infobarrel for this week...feeling a bit giulty about that. I guess next week I'll work harder at this writing thing. Maybe I should write this blog the day before I need it so at least that much is out of the way for infobarrel.

On the plus side. Next week I have a Wednesday off of work. I'm planning on having a baking day...bread and cupcakes...<3

Well thanks to not being very motivated yesterday I now I a lot more work to do on infobarrel AND bubblews today. It just keeps getting sunnier and hotter outside but I just keep wilting. I think I might fighting a slight cold but I'm not going to let it get to my anymore then this.

Upcycled and Reconstructed Jean Drawstring Bag With a Bright Crocheted pocket front.

Here is handmade and crocheted drawstring backpack and drawstring bag. It is made out of a jean skirt that was reconstructed and up-cycled into this catchy bag. It has a red and brown crocheted pocket on the front with a button and with matching braided straps. Its dimensions are 17x15 inches.

If you would like me to make you a custom made version of this bag feel free to contact me and I will see what I can do. Since these bags are all reconstructed sometimes it might be hard to find the just-so fabric but I can easily make the crocheted pockets in the colors and shapes that you want.

I got up today turned on my computer and pandora and the first song I hear is "Its Raining on Sunday." I'm not a avid country fan but right now that song felt so right... On the other hand rain is the farthest thing from us here in reality. 90 degrees or more was what it was yesterday and it looks like today will be the same deal. I guess the only good thing is that I won't be in the apartment during the heat of the day thanks to work.
I managed to get my promised writing done on infobarrel yesterday but I'm really dragging today. I have this bad feeling in my throat and I keep sniffing. I hope I'm not getting sick.
Well I'll still try to get something more then this done today even if it isn't what I told myself I'd do.

Brown and Deep Purple Crocheted Mesh Poncho or shawl

Here is a brown and deep purple crocheted mesh poncho or shawl. This beautiful mesh poncho would look lovely for a  special occasion or even for just a day to day outfit. It is a one size fits most.

If you have any questions or if you would like a custom made poncho like this feel free to contact me. I don't mind going out of my way to make a poncho in the color/style that you would like. Keep in mind though that this might make actually getting your poncho take a bit longer.

Looks like today I'm re-newing this poncho on etsy. I added a new part to the discription talling people that I don't mind making custom orders of this poncho. I think it would be fun to try to make something just-so for someone.

After putting this poncho up it makes me remember that I also have some other items that need to have thier pictures taken and added to etsy. I'm trying to wait till I have 5 finished items of one type or another. Right now I have 2 finished and 5-7 all-but-finished projects.

Well as far as writing goes yesterday was a bit of a let down. I only managed to get two posts in on bubblews not 3-5. I guess I need to try harder today once I'm done with this blog post. On top of bubblews though I also have infobarrel to work on today so...I have a full plate. I even have to go into work sometime.

I hear my coffee calling me so I'll finish this here. Once I get my coffee in me I should be ready for the long list of things I need to do.

Well thats my item for the day. I just re-newed this wool roving listing on etsy. I'm also going to be adding some more vintage thread once I'm done with this post.

I've sort of made a goal for myself to try to add a bit more to my listings on etsy. If there isn't anything more I can say about the item itself I'm going to add that last part you see where I give you the links to my shop's blog and FB page. It makes things look a bit niftyer I think. We'll see how it goes.

I'm also going to be posting a new post or two on my Crafty Hikikomori blog  I tell myself that I'm going to post once a day there but I always mess that up on the weekends since its hard to get to blogger on just my kindle. Anyways I'm working up a schedule that I can stick to somewhat...we'll see how long that lasts though.

My first attempt at Sushi.

 Well yesterday was pretty interesting at work. Towards the end of my shift one of my co-workers went on break and didn't make it back becuase she fainted while in the bathroom. Goes to show that when something bad happens it WILL catch you in the most awkwerd postition. I really feel bad for her. We had to call the ambulance and her mom. I just hope she's okay...

Anyways tomorrow after work I'm heading back to my parents for the weekend. I plan on using Saturday for gardening and Sunday for crafting for etsy. I'll put a picture up of what I get finished. I just wish I could do some sort of gardening here in indiana but...yeah.

On a plus note yesterday I somehow managed to earn 1.40$ on adsense for my blogs. Usually I just get a penny or two for each blog post but suddenly wham-bang I get a dollar. Now if I could just make that the norm for my blogs...

Well I guess I waste sometime watching the big bang theory before heading to bed.

Getting ready to ink in some of my doodles for Inpar.

Well after here comes my second from last day in my home away from home. I'm going to be heading home for the weekend and work on my parents garden. They have such big gardens and big plans for thier gardens but unless someone does the work for them nothing happens in these said gardens.

Anyways today I'm planning on getting to work on bubblews again. I'm not sure if this will mean actuall writing there since I'm still trying to biuld trust up in that place again but at least I'll show my face. 

For those of you who don't know(which is probably everyone) bubblews is a website that lets you write "articles" and pays you for every view and like that you get. Its still a very new website so its very buggy....very.buggy. In fact its really hard to trust them with all the issues that they have. I keep with them though becuase they do once in a blue moon pay you if you contact them in the just-right-way. So far they have helped me a lot in my journy through living on my own for the first time.

On top of bubblews I also plan on blogging some more or getting ready to blog. I need to start drawing and writing some more stuff for my blog for Inpar which has been wallowing in cyber space for a whole semester now.

Then of course there is work...

My cup of hot choco to start the day. Made in the coffee pot.

Hello I am Sheryl just your somewhat normal young person going on adult. I felt like I needed a blog to help me get into a writery mood. At least I can use this to help my fingers get moving even if all I'm doing to talking about weather.

I am a part-time art student at IUP. I am more interested in the fiber arts area. I have been asked often what I want to do as an art student but to be really truthful I haven't a clue. I just know that art is what I enjoy, even though I tend to stray to the crafty side of it I don't think I'm too bad as it.

Another thing that people can't understand about me is that I am going part-time as an art student when I have already finished a degree in english. I also loved english...

I guess that is another reason I want to have this blog. I got this degree in creative writing but unless I keep writing in one form or another I'm never going to do anything with it.

Well anyways I guess thats it for my intro to this blog. I have to go get ready for work. Once I get back from work I'll be getting to work on my webtoon that I'm playing around with on my spare time. I'll write more about that tomorrow.
