My Second Blog from the Inn

Hello again everyone. Well it is a really busy time for me today. I am getting ready for a board meeting here at work and have all the financial stuff to get ready to give my directors. Also at home I am getting ready for Halloween tomorrow night. Last night I set up some very strange characters in my living room to greet the trick or treaters when they come. I will serve them witches brew and pumpkin shaped cookies with their treat bag. Tonight after my meeting I will go home and make my costume. Not sure what I will be yet but I have some really nice red and yellow satiny material so I imagine I will be some sort of gypsy!!!!

I have also found a bit of time to follow the Etsy forums.... there is so much to learn. Also I have linked up to a group of bloggers which I hope will help me become more visible. Then at lunch time I found a fellow blogger on Etsy http://jaimiebdesigns.blogspot.com/ who is my first follower.. yes!!! I intend to sign up to other blogs and make some connections because I am slowly learning that to get to my goal of earning a living online, I am going to have connect to that big outside world and hope that they take an interest in me. But I am very positive that I will get to where I am going... remember October 24, 2009 full time occupation selling online!!!

In the meantime, please take a few minutes and visit my little shop on Etsy

My First Blog from the Inn

Hello from Maggie's Raggedy Inn

Well I am new to this blogging business but I guess I will give it a try. I have recently opened a little shop on Etsy, which for any of you who do not know about it, is a really interesting place for crafters and those who like things made by hand. Its seems that a lot of people like making crafts which is great cause I am not alone!!!!

Since I have been a child I have always wanted to make things, like purses, dolls, paintings etc etc and of course then I grew up and unfortunately still wanted to make things like purses, dolls and paintings. But the adult world set in and I got married and had a child and worked to pay bills and dealt with family issues and did volunteer work etc etc etc... but I still wanted to make things but had no time. But here I am at 52 and you know what, I still want to make things and this time I am going to do it and through this blog you will get to follow me along on my journey to making crafts for once and for all.. doing what I always wanted to do......

Well not right now, cause I am at work and have to get some reports out.. but just wait until I get home.. well not right away cause I will get supper and then I have to make Halloween decorations cause it is almost here and I have a big black cat to make as well as other ghosts and goblins. I will post pictures for you all to see in a few days...

Mary!
