Happy Sunday! Guess what happened yesterday? We hit 20K Peanut Gallery Members! So exciting! I want to thank everyone who has subscribed to my channel. If you would like to become a Peanut Gallery Member, all you have to do is subcribe and hang out with us!
I got much of the stuff done yesterday that I wanted to do. I didn’t finish it all, so I was not able to reward myself with a new quilt block. lol I hope to get my urgent tasks completed today so I can maybe work on a quilt block at some point. Do love making the quilt blocks! As for fabric, I still ONE LOT left of the Christmas prints and I have quite a few of the Fat Eighths. As for those Fat Eighths, many of them would look nice in a Christmas quilt too and might work well as sashing or a scrappy border with the Christmas fabrics! Last night I was going to jump in via video with a nightcap, but at the last minute I decided to read some of my Youtube Comments. As usual, that good laugh helped me greatly! I needed that! Today I must get the fabric orders ready for tomorrow’s pickup then I have some sewing to do. Not sure what I’ll have for a video tonight, but I’m quite sure there will be something! Stay tuned! Have a great Sunday! Darlene xoxo BE COOL -> Subscribe to my Youtube channel I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.
Happy Saturday! I woke up not happy about many things today. One thing I’m very happy about it no sunshine and not hot. I hope so much this day can stay this way. Yesterday, I finally gave in and tried Etsy. That was 3 days of prep by opening a shop and learning some of the ropes. Then I listed. I was not in love but I was willing to give it a good shot. Then I sold 4 items and quickly discovered that I hated that whole process. Etsy puts a hold on money and requests that sellers don’t ship until those payments clear. Not a happy camper about that! I don’t want to make my buyers wait. I also don’t like other features about Etsy including the general look of the site. And I got no traffic. Granted, I have a following on eBay, so why on earth move from a place where I built traffic to a static platform? I was hopeful and curious. Now that I got the curiosity solved, I closed up shop and moved my fabric over to eBay where it belongs. What a timely and costly learning experience that was. Glad it’s over! lol You can see my Fabrics and Penny Auction here! And you can expect more penny auctions soon! I hope to be listing several per week! You can get a feel of how this whole ordeal affected me here. I was exhausted and frustrated but still happy I gave it a shot. Now when people tell me I need to sell on etsy, I can give then an educated NO instead of just assuming I won’t like it there. Yesterday, I opened some peanut gallery mail. The very best part about that is I got a thank you note via snail mail from a boy named Scott Sheldon. He was Skylar’s giveaway winner. We picked the winner while Skylar was still here. When a male name came up, at first I was like… oh, shoot! The prizes were mostly girlie. Then when I checked to be sure the winner was subscribed to Skylar’s channel, I discovered it was a boy and he had a channel. I emailed him about being the winner and explained that it was mostly girlie stuff but that maybe he could give the items to his mom or sister or aunt or whatever. I could tell by his reply that he was a very nice young man. Let’s fast forward to yesterday. After reading his thank you note that I just opened, I knew I wanted to give him a special shout out. I went to his channel to get the link and I discovered that he had uploaded a video showing the prizes he won from Skylar’s giveaway. What a fantastic kid he is! Not only did I fall in love with him, but much of the peanut gallery did too. He got well over 100 new subscribers (wow! I just checked and he had only 13 subbies and now he’s up to 190!!! so happy for him!!!), lots of views and a ton of the most awesome comments giving him such praise for being an awesome kid. And awesome kid he is! I’m so happy for him and so grateful for how you all showed him so much support! The peanut gallery rocks! You helped to make Scott feel very special. He is the appreciative type and I know he must be extraordinarily excited about his newly found fame. You can see me talk about Scott in my Fan Mail Friday video. And you can watch his Giveaway Winner video here. You will see the prizes Skylar had picked out! And he was quite happy with what he got. If you want to really get caught up, you can also watch the giveaway video on Skylar’s channel. It was a different kind of giveaway because she did not want to show the prizes. lol Today I must finish cutting fabric. I must! I must also get my bead auctions scheduled. I must! And there’s that upcycled fashions that I need to at least start. I must! If I can get all that done, I will treat myself to a new quilt block. That’s my incentive. Have an awesome Saturday!

TGIF! I’m so happy it’s Friday. Even though my days are all basically the same, I like weekends. They just feel different. And it’s Fabric Friday and also Fan Mail Friday! Lots to do today! First, let’s see what I got done yesterday. I cut lots of fabric. I also listed a Penny Auction with FREE Shipping on eBay for an adorable cotton panel that can be used for a quilt top. I hope to be doing this more often so be sure you add me as a favorite seller on eBay! Then I ran to Hannaford for meat and I recorded a car vlog to explain that I Don’t Hate Catholics! I dislike people in general. I’m not picking on just catholics. lol Last but not least, I knocked out another quilt block. I tried out a Multi Color Half Square Triangle and it’s super quick and easy! This is quickly becoming my most favorite series ever because I get to have fun with creating the digital quilts for a slide show at the end of the videos. But let me tell you… time consuming!!! I wanted this series to be something I could knock out quickly. I spend way too much time on the digital quilts. But it’s so fun and creative! I have a short list for today: List fabric, open peanut gallery mail, schedule bead auctions, pay my electric bill, pick up an order at walmart, upcycled fashion. I’m thinking the only task I might not accomplish is walmart. Just don’t feel like going out. And the sun is shining. I hate to be out in the sun. As for Upcycled Fashions, I think I know why I’m stuck. I’m limiting myself to something that someone would actually want to wear. I think I need to branch out and try some wild and crazy designs! I’m all about crazy! It might be way more fun for me if I just create some crazy ass clothing just for the sake of seeing what the stuff looks like. I don’t need it to be runway fashion, you know what I mean jelly bean? I just want it to be fun! Have a great Friday!
