chat-thursday

Happy Thursday!

Today is the first day of school for Skylar and her brother, Jared!  They start early in the south but they will get out in May. Skylar is going to be 9 in ten days and is in 4th grade. Jared is 12 and is in 7th.  They are growing up so fast!  Skylar is almost as tall as her brother who is over 3 years older. Different dads.  And Skylar is wearing the new ankle boots that she picked out while here this summer.  They are blue suede boots. Do love!

I am trying hard to get ready for Fabric Friday.  I think I will be trying one lot on my website.  I love ebay and will always use them for auctions. But for fixed price listings, I’d like to get back to having my own store on my site. Trouble is, it’s a lot of work. And there’s just me to set it up.  So much more to learn than when I sold my D-Zines by Darlene clothing on my site. SO much more to learn. Good thing is I love to learn. I know little by little, I will get there.

Yesterday, I started cutting fabric and I also uploaded my Youtube Earnings for the month of July.  How did I do? You’ll have to watch to see!

.
I’m anxious for Big Brother tonight. Very curious as to who will go home.  Last night I made paper beads while watching. I hope to do that again tonight.  I love to find ways to work while watching TV. Hate to waste time not working! lol

I have lots of auctions on eBay right now!  Please check them out!  Even if you don’t plan on bidding on anything, it’s always fun to watch the bidding action. I’m very happy with my penny auctions. Will be doing that again on Manic Monday!  I think we need a Wacky Wednesday too.  Don’t you? lol

ebay

I know I’ll be doing a lot of behind the scenes stuff today for my fabric listing on my site. As for videos, I might do a Scrappy Transformation to see if I can get that series going.  And I’d like to get another old Doodle Reload on my main site.  Maybe I can knock something else out too.  I have been getting more paper bead tutorial requests, so I might add that to my schedule. I love making paper beads!

Have a great Thursday!  Darlene xoxo

10 free amazon ebooks darlene michaud


*** NOTE TO MY FREE EBOOK FANS ***  The person who has been providing the free ebook list to bloggers for like forever (thank you so much, Lindsay, at See Mom Click) has decided to stop providing the list.  So I will be tackling this task myself.  It’s time-consuming to put the list together, so I may cut it down to just 5 free ebooks or might just do it a few times per week.  No matter what, I will try to keep it coming your way! And they type of free ebooks I list might change a bit. I will still try to find a wide variety, but since crafts are my passion, I’ll be hunting down more of those!

Comment on this facebook post and let me know what your favorite ebooks are!  Cooking? Romance? Crafts? Self Help? For Kids? Mysteries? Finances? Family? Parenting?  All of those? Other stuff?  Let me know!  If I’m going to do this myself, I want to bring you what you want to read!


Below are 10 FREE eBooks that you can download from Amazon. Please note that these eBooks are only free for a little while, then they go back to regular price. Always check to see if they are still free.

Free eBooks – price can go up at any time, so hurry if you want them!

Wednesday Chat – Hourglass Quilt Block, Paper Beads, Youtube Earnings Update Later

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

chat-wednesday

Happy hump day everyone!

Today is personal aide day!  My mother’s aide comes in to help with her shower and to vacuum, dust, whatever else. We just love her so much! And she gets tons done in a matter of two hours.  I wish she had extra time so I could hire her for my side of the house. But she doesn’t.

It’s also a sunny day.  Nothing I can do about that.

Yesterday was once again a busy day.  I got my Paper Bead Auctions listed on eBay and also uploaded a quick Paper Bead Auctions Video to tell you about the beads.  I’m very anxious to start working on September’s batch.

Then I went over to the sewing machine and made a Hourglass Quilt Block.  That block was super easy and came out great.  And I put together several combinations of digital quilts at the end of the video so you can see a few of the designs you can make. I love creating the digital quilts.  Time-consuming, which defeats the whole purpose of what I was aiming for in a very quick-to-record-edit-and-upload quilt block series, but it’s creative stuff so I like doing it. And my viewers seem to like that part so I think it’s worth the extra time it takes for me to do that step.

Today, I hope to record my Youtube Earnings Update for the full month of July.  I can’t believe we are already in August.

I also need to start cutting fabric for Fabric Friday.  I already have it on hand.  I wanted to start cutting yesterday but never got around to it.

I’d also like to upload another video. Not sure what I’ll be in the mood for.  I’m sure I’ll come up with something.

Have a great Wednesday!  Darlene xoxo
