I Love Etsy!

-
Ok. Let's see... I posted my first 2 skirts onto etsy.com before I left for the weekend. Yesterday, I posted 4 more. Today I sold one. I'm in shock I think. Woohoo! Thank you Pamela in SoCal!!

I'm totally excited. Of course, I hoped the larger sizes would win some hearts... I notice there aren't many larger sized things there. Nor much hand-dyed clothing really at all.

Let's hope this is a sign of things to come. Woopie!!

    Congratulations!

    It's exciting to hear that you made a sale so soon after starting your ETSY store. I think I will follow your lead and open one for my husband's heirloom handmade hardwood artisan cutting boards.

    We are thinking about going to some of the closer festivals for hand crafted products, and your list was very helpful to me. Thank you for that!

    I'm experimenting with a website at http://www.jkleppin.com and have placed a video there of our first experience at my cousin's craft booth, and we have a friend in Idaho who is promoting some of them at one of his companies http://abcompany.com/1sc/boards/

    Next stop, ETSY!

    I hope we both have GREAT SUCCESS there.

NEW *Creative* Beer Can Hat Tutorials All *NEW* Beer Can Party Hat Tutorials are Actually COOL! Okay. Carry on.   I'm going to attempt to share with the world my pattern for the coveted Beer Can Hat. Some years ago I started making these and spread them around to many friends and unsuspecting acquaintances. I believe they originated during the 70s cheesy crafts era, which I completely adore. Many a birthday party have I attended bringing a 6 pack of beer, a skein of yarn, a couple compact tools... and a few hours later, left the host with a special party hat and gift made right before his drunken eyes. Now YOU can be that fascinating craft nerd, amazing your friends at parties. Or just drinking and crocheting at home.  Al

Edge the Can Labels Basically, the cans will be edged just like a granny square. 5 dc into each corner, and 3 dc into each hole along the sides. For those who prefer a written pattern, here you go: Sl st into corner hole, ch 3 (counts as 1 dc). Work 2 dc into same hole. *Work 3 dc into next hole and each hole across.

Make the Base (Top):   I call this part of the hat the Base because that's where a hat usually begins. Crochet the Base of the hat from the Basic Hat Pattern . Work in the dc stitches as described until the underlined number is 4. You should end up with a nice circle that has 60 sts around the outer edge. Do not tie off. 6. Join the Base to the Crown: Hold the Crown and the Base wrong sides together with the labels facing you and matching up the stitches as you work.
