With the current unstable economy, what would you do if you felt you had no choice, but to put your home up for sale? I've heard a lot about what 'we in Canada' call staging your home. It's my understanding that this...

sasklily I, too, am getting ready to sell my home. I had big plans 20 years ago of doing all the renovations but that was not to be; and I'm now faced with a less than desireable house, with lots of fixing to do. I think, barring doing all the painting and major...

I made a couple of goals for 2009, and my goals for crochet are 20 baby hats, 5 baby afghans, 20 booties, and 10 baby dresses. These are my charity goals. I would like to also make a bikini, my first. I think they are reasonable...

sasklily I don't set any goals as I fly from one project to another. Years ago I made afghans but now just do small projects. And not always just in crochet. My attention seems to be slipping, lol. I love the hat you posted, could you share where you found the pattern?...

sasklily I didn't realize it was the 13th till noon, and thought, what the heck, so far, so good so I'll just keep going, lol. Fridays are not my favorite day as it's the day to vacuum and vinegar-mop/polish all the floors, so it was just the same-old, same-old! Now...

sasklily I would hope that most would keep their prices down, as there are not the high listing fees, but there are some that won't. However they just won't get the sales. Thank you for your comment.
