I have committed myself to posting something on my etsy site every day for the next 30 days (with the exception of Dec 25 and Jan 1). This will be a challenge for me as I struggle with the photography aspect of posting handmade items. Although there have been great improvements in my photos, I am still not completely happy with them.
Anyway, I am challenging myself to post daily in the shop in an effort to establish a new habit. If I want a successful store, I have to be consistent. So here goes......

NEVER WHAT I EXPECT
Well, this weekend was supposed to be a time for accomplishing a great number of things. Instead, I seem to have caught up on lost sleep. That is about the sum total of my weekend.
What was supposed to be two days of solitude, with a house to myself, wasn't! That is okay, I had a good weekend. I just did not accomplish much, which only adds to the pressure as Christmas looms. There is still so much to do and I haven't got the tree up and decorated yet. I didn't get the pictures taken for posting to Etsy. I had planned to complete some Christmas gift making. Didn't happen.
Am I the only one or does Christmas seem to get busier every year. Every year I try to start my Christmas preparations earlier and still end up behind. There is so much to do in the 11 days remaining. Lets hope I can get it all in!

So, here we are two weeks from Christmas. The last few weeks have been a flurry of activity as I prepare for Christmas craft shows and gifts for my own family. A lot of crocheting and sewing has been happening in the Ritzy household. I will be posting some of the results of my crafting on etsy this weekend.
In the mean time, winter has hit with a vengence. The temperatures have been -30 C at night and not much better during the day. I have a hard time venturing out of the house each day. I would rather curl up with my crochet and hot chocolate!!
I have been experimenting with some wools lately. Used to crocheting with Acrylic, the chunky wool has been a delight to work with. Watch for some warm and cozies coming soon to my etsy store.
I am trying to narrow my interests a little. I am so ADHD when it comes to what I am working on. I have half finished projects all over the living room. I need to focus on just a few core things. I plan to spend the first month af the new year reevaluating my project rouster and planning for upcoming Spring Craft shows.
I find the month of December too hecktic for self-evaluation. There is all the added pressures of shopping, baking and preparing for family. I am happy to report that not a lot of money is being spent on extravigant gifts at the Ritzy household. Instead I am making gifts as I usually do. Instead of large sums of money, it is luxuriuos fabrics, chunky, warm wools, creativity and elbow grease!!!
