Okay, so much for getting this off to a regular start.

I have spent the last week sick with the seasonal cold/flu. Didn't do much more than sleep, eat chicken soup and crochet a bit.

I have a craft show coming up in 6 days. Alot has to be done yet to get ready for it. I haven't hit panic mode....yet. Talk to me on Wednesday night, and I will most likely be there...panicing!! This is the craft show I have been at the longest and I will be showcasing some new stuff in the area of crochet.

Watch for new postings on my site at www.ritzysallnaturals.etsy.com ealy next week to see my capelets and shrugs readdy for the cool weather!

Day ONE!!

There is a first time for everything and today would be mine for blogging.

I have decided to start a blog to chronicle my adventures in crafting, creating and tradeshowing.

I find I have a difficult time focusing on just one type of craft or theme for my creations. I want to try it all. So when I do go to a trade show or craft sale, I tend to have no unity to my booth. So, as I prepare for "Christmas in November", a fundraiser craft show in my home town, I am seeking to unify my goodies ahead of time.

Certain things I make because I love then, they've been good to me and I want to share them (such as my lip balms and Buckwheat Hull pillows). These items have come about because I was seeking to better my own situation, heath wise.

Some things I make for the sheer fun of it, such as the jewelry. Others I make because they look good or I think they will sell at sales. I am still to new to this to know exactly what will sell, and I haven't decided who my "market" is. I am mostly creating to satisfy a need within myself.
