Occupied

I finally got to send the oldest back to school today.  He had a birthday a week ago so he had a lot of new toys to play with and money to spend.  I gave him a Wii points card.  It was nice because on the wii there are titles that you cannot find at a store and that's one last game to scratch.  He likes to go into the wii shop and download all the demos.  We found one called "Max and the Magic Marker"  --love it.  Max is a poorly drawn kids doodle that is on a n adventure.  When he crosses over water you draw a bridge with your remote (magic marker)  and it falls and makes a bridge.  It's very fun for him.  The coolest thing about My child is that he loves Legos.  He has been a reader since 3 and quickly learned how to follow the instructions on the lego booklet. He gets that from me.  I love to put anything together following directions.  This little Lego Log Cabin is a 3 in one so there are directions for 3 different styles of cabins.  He had a blast all weekend.  I hardly saw him.  He never came out of his room to ask to play a game or watch something.  It was great.

On the quilting front...not much going on except a lot of embroidery.

And in my store I've listed all my quilts that I've made so far.  I sold one on Saturday to my friend from my quilt guild.  I was about to reduce the listings when i typed in "Riley Blake All Star 2" in the Handmade search.  Nothing of mine came up and there were only like 5 things.  So Here's a tip for anyone selling on Etsy that I learned last night.  Tag your items with Handmade, or vintage, or supplies or whatever you are selling because if not Nobody can find it without you giving a link.  Hopefully I will get these last three sold and move on. I have some purse and handbag patterns and will start making those one day.  I will alter the patterns so I can sell legally of course.
