Trying to re-connect!

2010-09-18T01:15:00.002-05:00

Hello!

I have been SO busy lately I haven't had time for the computer!

I finally was able to hop on etsy and get some writing done! My policies, announcements and profile was all outdated and not well written! I am a year older, wiser and praise God I have better English skills!

I hope to knit and post more soon but for now I am happy with the new items I have up! Go check them out!

I am still struggling with pictures :( but I am getting WAY better at descriptions and tagging!

It was nice to update!
Thanks all!
Glen

Helmet liners for soliders in Iraq

2009-10-02T11:40:00.001-05:00

A local shop here is knitting up helmet liners for the people serving our country in war but they need over 200 in such little time. So if any of you are interested in knitting, (or maybe even crochet I just need to get a pattern) I could post the pattern and let you have at it! You can either ship it to me and I WILL MAKE SURE it gets to them or I can get the address to the yarn nook for you!

The liners have to be 100% wool, (superwash or not) and have to be black, charcoal, brown, tan and/or olive drab.

You can check out more at http://www.yarnnook.com or the direct link: http://www.yarnnook.com/search/label/helmetliner

If you need more info or details just let me know.

Thanks bunches from me, the ladies at the yarn nook and the people fighting for your safety!

Minor Effect

2009-03-24T16:29:00.002-05:00

Hi guys! I will soon be taking over our teen group, Minor Effect! Mrs. Christina aka peasantsoup is going on a moving trip and will no longer be able to admin. So I am hoping to be able to step in and grow the group. I don't think I will be able to do it alone so I already have some one in mind to help me out. I will be taking over in a couple weeks and hope to do as much as possible. Please tell all teen crafters about our group and please send them to our blog. Right now the group is open only to etsians but I am trying to change that! I don't know how but eventually we can open it to all teens.
Let me know if your interested (comment this blog) and I will get an application via email to you! (Also comment for an email if your interested in the group but do not belong to etsy)!

Thanks for spreading the word buys,
GAR!

P.S. Since peasant is moving she is closing her shop. Please click her name above and visit her shop and look around. She is having a closing discount so contact her and see what kind of deal you can get!

Volley ball! I'm nowhere close to a pro. but its fun to play and a blast when it's with friends! I don't want to stop! I don't play much at all only cause it's an "at least two people" game and we have no ball or net at our house and I am not on a team but still when there's a game going I'll play!!
