Tuesday Bloody Tuesday

So monday was a wash for looking/applying for jobs because of the fourth of July holiday. Woke early today hoping that there would be jobs listed on the job service sites....NADA. It is now after ten and still no new jobs posted. Are you effing kidding me!?! Sheesh. Perhaps the people in charge of posting these jobs are having to calm down the masses of unemployed who have just discovered that they cannot get an extension of UE bennies. I have had to explain to several people who assumed that they would get an extension that that option is no longer available....read the news people. Of course, I never kept up on this information until I checked my status in June. I just assumed that since there had been folks on UE for over 18 months I would get the same.....WRONG. But that's my damn luck.

Owens approves as House votes for unemployment extension, but measure fails in Senate

I do hope all those over-worked senators are getting a nice rest.......assholes.

Sunday, lazy sunday.........

Ah, Sunday July 4th, 2010....what will the day bring? I awoke to back pain caused from hunching over the table too long working on crafts...silly me.

After a good rubbing with Icy Hot and some yoga-type stretching it feels better.

Scrambled eggs with green onions for brekkies. yummers!!

Large cup of diet coca cola and working on blog, Ebay, Etsy accounts. Must come up with a brilliant idea for the Etsy page.

Supposed to reach 80 degrees today....YAY!! I love summer. Perhaps a nice lay about the back porch later? :D

It's so quiet right now...just the soft sounds of the apartment....fridge motor, kitty snores, fan blowing in the bedroom....just heard a bird outside, sweet.

Ack....the loo calls. And I was feeling so poetic.

Making Things for Etsy, Ebay....

So I have decided that I need to try this thing called Etsy. I have quilted and sewn for years and love creating little interesting things. While I have never considered my quilts to be worthy of most crafters out there, they do have that homey feel. I use mostly old jeans with used blankets for the batting. This helps to recycle items and makes the weight of the quilt quite nice. I have one that I am currently working on and will put up for sale soon.

We also have a ton of clothes pins or as we like to call them...C-47's. :D I have researched different things to make with them and am in the process of creating several items. Not sure how they will fare but it is a fun endeavor.

I now have an Etsy account...figuring out a name that I liked was challenging as I decided "Jimmiedean" would make people think of sausage and since I am not selling meat....well, yeah. I have been wanting to listen to 'Nickel Creek' and was listening to "The Lighthouse's Tale" when I decided against "Jimmies Attic" (or porch, garden, etc) and came up with "Lighthouse Treasures" I think it will be juuuussssst right. :D

So....off to create.
