As some of you know, I got hit with some orders for slippers and scarves for Christmas gifts. Well after I got the original orders done I ended up getting more. I worked on things clear up to about noon on Christmas Eve. The good news is the were all completed and delivered in plenty of time. I sure liked the extra cash I made.

Now hopefully I can start spending more time on here and getting some posts done. I still have my Key West trip to write about and pictures to share.

Thanks, Tim. It was nice to see you twice on one post this fine evening.
Bob B. Dec 26, 2011, 8:00pm UTC
Good for you, Sandy. Hopefully you can relax now.
Sandy Moore Dec 26, 2011, 8:23pm UTC
Thanks, Bob. I stayed up late quite a few nights to try and get them done. My emails and a lot of other things were neglected. How are things going for you?
Bob B. Dec 26, 2011, 8:36pm UTC
I'm staying busy. Had a short Christmas weekend. Next week I'll have a four day weekend.
Sandy Moore Dec 26, 2011, 9:23pm UTC
I bet you will enjoy your time off. I am so looking forward to going home. I might just extend my stay until Thursday instead of coming back on Tuesday. I have to admit that I need a break from the motel life. Have a wonderful New Years.
Bob B. Dec 26, 2011, 9:28pm UTC
Happy New Year, Sandy.
Sandy Moore Dec 26, 2011, 9:49pm UTC

Thanks Adelaide
Patricia J. Dec 26, 2011, 8:57pm UTC
Now maybe you will take a much needed break! You must do great work to get so many orders for Christmas. I used to crochet but got arthritis in my hands so don't do it any more. Have a great New Year, Sandy.
Sandy Moore Dec 26, 2011, 9:17pm UTC
I love knitting and crocheting. I used to have a small craft business while doing day care at the same time. I love the work and making people happy.
Donna C. Dec 26, 2011, 9:27pm UTC
Good job, Sandy. I love to knit and crochet too, but I haven't been getting much done here lately. I should get back at it.............
Hope you had a nice Chirstmas......
Sandy Moore Dec 26, 2011, 9:52pm UTC
Thanks Donna. I used to knit and crochet all the time but got lazy with it until this all came about. It kind of put me in the mood to keep at it again.
I had a real nice Christmas. How was yours?
Donna C. Dec 26, 2011, 10:40pm UTC
We had a very nice Christmas with our youngest son and his family. Four grandchildren make it fun! We were gone for a couple nights, so I am looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight, LOL.........
Sandy Moore Dec 26, 2011, 11:20pm UTC
It sounds like you had a great time. I bet you are ready for your own bed.
Janet "Jax" B. Dec 26, 2011, 9:59pm UTC
That's great! Congrats and good job well done.
Sandy Moore Dec 26, 2011, 11:08pm UTC
Thanks, Janet. It was a trial for me.
Susan G. Dec 26, 2011, 10:42pm UTC

Sandy Moore Dec 26, 2011, 11:09pm UTC
Thanks, Susan. I was a wee bit busy.

Janie E. Dec 27, 2011, 5:28pm UTC
Oh, yes!!!! She's been up to her ears in tamale orders since before Christmas!!!

You're quite welcomed, Sandy.
Sandy Moore Dec 28, 2011, 6:05pm UTC
I bet they are so good. maybe some day I will get to try one.
Janie E. Dec 29, 2011, 5:49pm UTC

Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 12:51am UTC
Yes, I am actually taking it a little easy.
Heather - child of God, C. Dec 27, 2011, 12:53am UTC
I went to Key West about 4 1/2 years ago... it is an interesting place... a lot of walking. They are some interesting street performers who perform at early evening. We were waiting for a boat ride when one could see stuff underwater... and we saw some of the most amazing people. My husband and daughter rented a scooter to get around and had a lot of fun... going sight seeing... it can get real crowded. I hope you have a great time.
Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 12:01pm UTC
I had a blast there. I will try to get a post done today about it.
manda r Dec 27, 2011, 1:40am UTC

Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 11:58am UTC
Thanks Manda. How was your Christmas?
Stephannie H. Dec 27, 2011, 1:49am UTC
that is wonderful
Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 11:43am UTC
Thanks Stephannie. I was very happy to be done.
Mzzz Sweets - Sandy (aka rusty2rusty) Dec 27, 2011, 3:00am UTC
Good thing you was able to get them all done.
My stepmother made over 50 some homemade wash rags with each person initials, one with a set of wedding bells. They were neat. She got hers done right on time to.
Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 11:16am UTC
That is neat. Does she knit them or crochet them? I have some patterns for some really neat knitted wash rags.
Mzzz Sweets - Sandy (aka rusty2rusty) Dec 27, 2011, 9:53pm UTC
She knits them. Something I can't do. I can crochet thou...so that's something.
Sandra H. Dec 27, 2011, 9:15am UTC
It sounds like you were busy, glad to hear you got everything done on time.
Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 11:59am UTC
Thanks Sandra. I was busy and sure glad that I can take a break now.
Peter Joseph Swanson Dec 27, 2011, 10:14am UTC

Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 11:59am UTC

Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 12:48pm UTC
Thanks, Audrey. How is things in yoiur life?
Sophie S. Dec 27, 2011, 12:48pm UTC
The last minute cash must have been nice. Make sure you tell all about the best places because we plan on being in the Keys in May.
Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 2:09pm UTC
I sure will.
Bernard C. Dec 27, 2011, 1:04pm UTC
Glad to hear that you accomplished the task at hand :-)) Good luck with new orders as well :-)
Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 1:56pm UTC
Thanks, Bernard. I think I will start making slippers now to have for sale for next year.
Steph-in-NE ..... Dec 27, 2011, 2:58pm UTC
great job getting down in time,,, LOL
Sandy Moore Dec 29, 2011, 1:13am UTC
Thanks Steph-in-NE. I saw where you called today. I didn't even hear the dumb thing. All I have on it is vibrate. The ringtone is shot.
Steph-in-NE ..... Dec 29, 2011, 1:27am UTC
I can say something yet being public and all I will be nice,, let just say you know you can put that phone in the front pocket and ENJOY life....LOL
Sandy Moore Jan 4, 2012, 11:26pm UTC
Yep. I sure could. I am back in Iowa and the phone is working correctly now.
Rebecca P. Dec 27, 2011, 9:49pm UTC
Glad you were able to get them all done in time. My mom was working until Christmas Eve on crafts too.
Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 11:31pm UTC
The things we do in life :) I bet she enjoys it as much as I do.
Steven Cetta Dec 27, 2011, 9:55pm UTC
A job well done. LOL. Nice. Well, I am sure as soon as the new year begins we will all be able to spend more time here. I will not be online from tomorrow until New Years day sometime.
Sandy Moore Dec 28, 2011, 12:02am UTC
I plan to get into a routine with my sites. I need to devote more time to writing articles also. Enjoy your visit with your children and we can connect after the first of the year.
Steven Cetta Jan 2, 2012, 1:25pm UTC
I am trying to catch up right now. I just got online today. I was not online the last 2 days. I also have to create an itinerary for myself.
Sandy Moore Jan 2, 2012, 1:43pm UTC
Did you have a good time? I am trying very hard to get organized with my sites.
Steven Cetta Jan 5, 2012, 9:48pm UTC
I had a great time. I am also trying to get organization here online. I need to take some time to get it together.
Truth Always Dec 27, 2011, 9:55pm UTC
This is great and the extra money comes in handy... How did you get the orders though? Word of mouth, advertise etc....
Sandy Moore Dec 27, 2011, 11:56pm UTC
The lady that runs the motel saw me crocheting one day and asked if I could make her some things for Christmas. Them one day I was at the gas station by us and was talking to the lady that works there about the orders. So she ordered some items. Now, today I just got an order from a friend at the gas station.
Truth Always Dec 28, 2011, 10:06pm UTC
thats really great Sandy.... thanks for answering me... I was just curious...
manda r Dec 27, 2011, 11:34pm UTC
we didn't have any money to get the kids gifts this year we got toys for the younger ones from toys for tots but the two teens didn't do so well as one of them is 17 and didn't quailfy for anything. So we got a ton of stuff from my inlaws who are amazing if it wasn't for them christmas would have sucked this year. we got a waffle maker and a griddle breakfest nook from them I used the griddle today to make grill cheese and soup they loved it.
I tried to do something like your doing a few years ago but I was chrocheting purses and the string along my skin would make my skin crawl and I couldn't keep doing it.
I would love to start with my photography and I also would love to get back into hair again and take courses for both so I can be certified.
Sandy Moore Dec 28, 2011, 12:39am UTC
In laws can be so great. Let's pray for next year. I sent you a message. How are you at writing articles?
manda r Dec 28, 2011, 2:46am UTC
I got your message don't have a pay pal account so couldn't do that site you sent me. Every one comments and says I should write but as you can read from my postings here spelling and grammar I'm not the greatest at.
I do love writing though.
Sandy Moore Dec 28, 2011, 12:13pm UTC
You can set up a paypal account in just a few minutes. Also you can check your spelling and stuff with spell check. Let me know if you are interested in writing articles. I know that you can do it.
William Dotani Dec 28, 2011, 4:46am UTC
Doubt is a futility you should never have: Learn from your success.
Sandy Moore Dec 28, 2011, 11:29am UTC
I will do that.
Truth Always Dec 28, 2011, 10:08pm UTC
Sandy, if you have anything that can be done from home that may be worth while... can you email me the info.. too.. thanks
Sandy Moore Dec 28, 2011, 11:48pm UTC
I sure will. What kind of stuff are you interested in?
manda r Dec 29, 2011, 5:40am UTC
yeah I wont have a pay pal account to many hackers to get into it. not secure 100%
so yeah unless they can pay with gift cards I can do it. but if you know of any other site that I can write and get gift cards with out pay pal let me know ok
Sandy Moore Dec 29, 2011, 12:19pm UTC
I will have to check on some of them. The one I was really thinking about only does paypal.
Risa G. Dec 29, 2011, 10:56pm UTC
That is terrific that you got all the orders done before the holiday started. Good for you.
Sandy Moore Dec 30, 2011, 9:44am UTC
Thanks Risa. Now I am working on an afghan for my youngest son and his girlfriend.
Cassandra Ogden Dec 31, 2011, 7:09am UTC
Glad you got them all done :)
Sandy Moore Jan 1, 2012, 3:54pm UTC
Me too, Cassandra. Now I am working on an fghan for my youngest son.
Cassandra Ogden Jan 6, 2012, 10:34pm UTC
ooh, sounds nice, I just finished a doormat & not sure on what I want to start next lol
Sandy Moore Jan 8, 2012, 2:04pm UTC
I am doing a pair of slippers also just for a change once in awhile.
Cassandra Ogden Jan 13, 2012, 8:09pm UTC
nice...I have alot of old bubble crochet cotton & as I'm not sure what to do with it, I am just knitting squares to be used as either face washers or dish cloths.
Sandy Moore Jan 14, 2012, 10:53am UTC
That is so funny. I just pulled up some patterns for washclothes yesterday. I have made tons in the past and they last so long. Have fun with those.
Cassandra Ogden Jan 17, 2012, 7:07am UTC
Thanks...I have just finished my second one & about to start my 3rd...I won't finish these until the bubble cotton is all used up
Sandy Moore Jan 24, 2012, 10:59am UTC
I bought some baby yarn the other day to make some little sandals. I wanted something different to do.
Cassandra Ogden Jan 24, 2012, 8:31pm UTC
I got bored with knitting the dish cloths so I found a pattern to crochet grocery bags using the same bubble cotton :)
Sandy Moore Jan 24, 2012, 11:47pm UTC
I gert tired of makming the same thing over and over so am always looking for something different to do.
Cassandra Ogden Jan 25, 2012, 5:41am UTC
We definitely have that in common...i have loads of yarn & crochet cotton & I am trying to finish them before I start on something else....like me trying to use all the bubble cotton before starting a mdifferent project (hence why there is alot of baby items on my website lol)
Sandy Moore Jan 26, 2012, 8:15pm UTC
t realized all the mistakes I made in my last comment. I got rid of a bunch of yarn awhile back and now I am kicking myself. Oh well, it will pile up again. I want to finish siome projects myself and get them out of the way.
Cassandra Ogden Jan 26, 2012, 9:49pm UTC
That's one thing I will never get rid of - yarn...I will always find something to do with it no matter how ong it takes me :)
Sandy Moore Jan 27, 2012, 12:13am UTC
I am kicking myself for it. Things were happening and I thought I was moving. Just all kinds of crap/.
Cassandra Ogden Jan 27, 2012, 5:54am UTC
That's fair enough
Sandy Moore Jan 27, 2012, 8:43am UTC
It was a dumb move on my part cause I could have left the yarn at my sons. Now I didn't move and sure wish I hadn't sold the yarn.
Cassandra Ogden Jan 28, 2012, 7:10am UTC
oh well, these things do happen...I can share a site with you whee you can get yarn fairly cheap if you want
Sandy Moore Jan 28, 2012, 2:54pm UTC
I would like that very much.
Cassandra Ogden Jan 30, 2012, 4:02am UTC
I will pm you now
Marsha C. Dec 31, 2011, 1:29pm UTC
I loved the amount of orders I was getting in for Christmas time and wish I could do that amount every month. Not enough to make any real money but it sure helps!
Sandy Moore Jan 1, 2012, 2:09pm UTC
That would be nice, wouldn't it? I plan to start getting things made up ahead of time.
Matthew A. Dec 31, 2011, 9:12pm UTC
Cool beans. Rock on Sandy!
Sandy Moore Jan 1, 2012, 1:39pm UTC
Thanks, Matthew.

Sandy Moore Jan 13, 2012, 12:54pm UTC
No problem, Angela. There are times when I don't comment.
