Help Me Reach My Goal

I have a new goal now that my work schedule has been altered. Its actually a two part goal, one that I can handle myself and one that I need help from all of you on.

Part 1 - list at least one new item in my shop every day

Part 2 - sell at least one item every day

This goal began last week when my OB told me I couldn't go to work anymore and will continue to exist until I return to work after the baby, of course that first week or two with the baby home, I'll take it a little easy on myself!

So, PLEASE help me out with part 2 and visit http://madebymelissa.etsy.com

Color of the day - PURPLE!

Been Tagged!

I've been tagged! Time to share some personal information about me on here. Thanks to Get Carried Away for the tag!

1) I have an extensive sock collection - so many socks that they don't fit all in one dresser drawer.

2) Speaking of socks - I can NOT sleep with socks on, I can't fall asleep until I take them off. It doesn't matter how cold it is, I can't sleep with them on. Most nights I even kick my feet out of the blankets.

3) I adopted a puppy 6 months ago that looks almost identical to the dog I had growing up - a black lab/hound dog mix. We fell in love instantly, its almost like she is the reincarnation of my childhood companion!

4) My husband got me into baseball when we first started dating, now I watch it more than he does! He'll only watch Yankee games, but I'll watch any team play.

5) My grandmother taught me to knit when I was 10 years old. I never got the hang of it although I tried for years. Then a family friend taught me to crochet and now its one of my favorite pastimes.

6) There is a good chance that my son will be born on my father's 60th birthday! My due date is June 11 and his birthday is June 9.

7) I have a weird fear of nail salons. I can't go alone. Although a few weeks ago, I did take myself to get a pedicure! Maybe I am getting over it!

I know I am supposed to tag people now, but it seems as though everyone I would tag has already been tagged! *sigh*

OK, now go to my shop! :-D

Baby Blanket!!

New Items and a personal note

Hello!

I'll start off with the personal note - now that my doctor has put me on "limited activity" until the baby is born (4 weeks from now!!!) I'll most likely be making and listing lots more stuff, hence this blog will be lots more active!

These two items are a response to a EtsyKids craft challenge - the theme was beach/island and the goal was to make something from your current stash. Here's what I came up with:





And while I was going through my beads, these gorgeous pink crystal beads were just begging me to make them into something. So, I made them into two somethings! An adorable Mommy & Me bracelet set.



Just click on the images to go to the listing at Etsy.com!

And just for laughs, here is what my little pup was doing while I was hard at work!


Happy shopping!! :-D
