Getting Ready for Fall

Well the summer has been beautiful and warm, everything it should be. The swimming, the barbeques and all the things that make up summer. We had a great visit with family on vacation, friends down for the weekend and lots of other memorable summer happenings.All these things together make for such a wonderful life. Now the weather is starting to cool just a touch and fall is just around the corner, the colors and leaves waiting to explode in orange, red and yellow. Well my thoughts have been turning to the cooler weather and the crochet needle came out. I have a few new shrugs available that are great for an evening wrap or to layer over a long sleeve t later in the fall. Stop by Sheilasattic.etsy.com or www.facebook.com\nancystiedye to check out photos of what I've been doing and to see where I'm listing new items.

It's been such a busy month here in beautiful Toledo.  The weather is mild and dry.  I've had a new store opening to get ready for, I started my own website at www.nancyyoder.com and Pirates Plunder sales have been good.  Now things are leveling out a little it's time to get out to the yard and get some dirt moved around and make a place to be comfortable relaxing outside on those hot August nights to come.

Make sure and stop by my Facebook page at www.facebook.com/nancystiedye and www.nancyyoder.com to see all that is new and bright.  And as always stop and smell the roses life is short so make it sweet and memorable.
Ciao,
Nancy

July is here...

Summer finally is in full swing here in the beautiful northwest.  It often is rainy far into the summer in these parts but its mild and everything is green which makes everything OK in my eyes.

I have been dutifully working on tie dye, phone cases and dragging things out of the attic for the antique mall. I have a new load of Alternative Apparel tee shirts that should be here Monday so I will get those done Monday evening hopefully.  A full week ahead with hitting the beach for the 4th, working on Tuesday at the desk job, Monday tie dyeing and acupuncture.  Oh and down to Pirates Plunder to get more in stock.

Summertime

It's officially summer now, Yay... I love the long days and the sunshine.  I'm not as much of a sun worshipper now.  I tend to cover up the skin a little more and wear large hats. Speaking of hats I ordered a bunch of hats for Pirates Plunder they should be fun. I also put a bunch of skirts in the store, here's hoping they do well.
I put some shell jewelry out and I make a few rings every couple of evenings to keep my supply up. Well another busy day.  All my packages are ready this afternoon and I am off to the Post Office, then back here to make a few new listings on Etsy.

More Tie Dye

It was a lovely day at the Beach and the farmers market this morning then into the kitchen to work.  I've been tie dyeing and getting things ready to go into Pirates Plunder.  I've also been getting things done to put into the Etsy store too so a little busy right now.
It is always joyous to pull that load of tie dye from the dryer and look at what comes out.  You never know how your luck will hold out but I think it's a good batch.  Lots of color and pretty flowing skirts, maybe I should go dancing next.

June 22 2012

Well the blog post the other day seemed to have been a nice little introduction on Etsy.  I had over 600 hits on my Saltlandia.etsy.com site and some sales were generated also, Yay...

For today I'm going to get my little smoker going and smoke some salt.  I will also be replenishing my rosemary salt supply too. Then while my salt is smoking I will get back to my tie dye.  I have some new colors I have mixed up and some new designs I have been working on so I will have photos for those in the next couple of days.

I will attach a few photos from the last few days, if you see something you like head over to nancystiedye.etsy.com and pick it up.

Pirates Plunder

See I'm back so soon. It's amazing what happens when you set an alarm and it tells you to do something.

                                                                                                                                                                               Today I will be working on somethings for Pirates Plunder. Pirates Plunder is an antique/craft mall in Newport next to the aquarium. I have it filled about 75% right now and working on that last little bit. I have jewelry, t shirts, sweatshirts, hand drawn cards and a few antiques. I have a few sun dresses I'm going to dye today to stick down there and maybe some Ipad cases. I'm also patiently waiting for my shipment of phone cases so I can get them turned into original art works, they will also go in the booth. Make sure and stop by whenever you are in Newport.

This summer has been busy so far and it will probably get a lot busier but there will always be time to head to the beach.

 Thanks
