20 more sage green butterflies!

The lady who ordered 125 butterflies ordered 20 more. I'm working on them now.

I still have to have a picture taken of me so she can use it on her site.

I've been really busy trying to get at least 1 made of every single color of the tiny butterfly earrings to keep my websites updated. The crocheting part is easy, it's the finishing part that takes the longest - jewelry findings, scanning, uploading pics, writing descriptions. Oh, and keeping track of what website has what on it. I started a spreadsheet for that.

uploading more pics

Good grief, will I EVER be done uploading pictures? I want to crochet! I have a quart size ziploc bag full of butterflies that need to be finished, scanned, and uploaded to my websites.

I created a spreadsheet to help me keep track of what products I have on what sites. What a help!

What I'm working on now

I'm working on getting at least 1 pair of each color of thread made into tiny butterfly earrings so I can get pics up on all my sites. Next, charms!

125 Sage Green Butterflies finished & mailed

I did it! They're all finished and mailed.

Today I will add to my Artfire shop . Lots to do!

I also need to work on the tiny butterfly earrings that I was working on when I got the big order.

Butterflies with wire antennae


125 butterflies almost finished


It's a bad picture, but it's of 125 butterflies that I crocheted for a wholesale order for a scrapbooking kit-of-a-month club. All I have to do is finish putting on their antennae; package them; and mail them.

Wholesale Butterfly Appliques order


On July 29 I started an order for 125 wholesale butterfly appliques from my etsy shop. I'm up to 81 crocheted so far. These are for a scrapbooking kit-of-the-month club. Just as soon as I have them finished I'm going to work up a wholesale page for my website.

Broke another crochet hook!

Darn it! I broke another crochet hook last night! Once again, I used polymer clay to fix it. It works better than the last one I fixed with polymer clay. I guess I learned a couple of things, huh.

The good news is that Joann.com had hooks on sale, so I ordered 6 more this time. I also had a couple and got one for half price, and I registered (thought I was already!) for an account and got 2.95 shipping.
