What have I been doing?

Crocheting dishcloths, that's what. At the beginning of the month I bought a bag full of 100% cotton yarn at Hobby Lobby with the intention of making dishcloths to sell in an antique store that my mother has a booth in. I finally got done with said dishcloths last Friday and delivered them. As of today, none of the sets have sold.

So basically I feel like I've busted hump to crunch out what I believe are really cute pieces of old fashioned kitchen necessity, and no one has yet to take a bite! They're cute colors...good and tight needlework....good at cleaning dishes for many years...

Maybe after a few more days of no bites we will re-evaluate the asking price. I will put my one semester of marketing classes to good use! Product- check. Placement-check. Promotion-check. Price- might need tweaking.

So as I'm laying here in bed in Georgia for the weekend, what am I thinking about? Crocheting dishcloths of course! I'm here for a wedding that my handsome Alex is starring in as a groomsman, and I had said that I will crochet the lovely bride some dishcloths. T-minus 1.5 days until said dishcloths are due and only two of the set of four are done and DOH!! I just remembered the twine I use to normally wrap around the sets as decoration is sitting on the table...in my house...in Tennessee. Oh well, no cute old-fashioned wrapping for this present. Maybe I'll luck up and find some ribbon around in this house in the next day. I really dont have the money nor the time to rummage around the local Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or Joann's.

I hope you have all had a productive and happy July. I'm ready for it to be over to be honest.

Blogging about 200 yards away from a computer

Blackberry is my new form is communication. I'm sitting in my finance class right now, and in a few steps I can be on facebook, twitter, myspace, etc. I think technology is about the coolest thing happening right now. I'll re-evaluate this when my cell phone bill comes at the end of the month.
On a different front, I'm avoiding television at the moment. If they're not talking about Michael Jackson, its the death of Steve Mcnair which happened just on down the road in Nashville. If its not on my Blackberry news application, I'm left in the dark and I'm okay with that.
So as we go into July I'm looking forward to many long summer days fixing garden vegetables and playing with my dog. I wish everyone obsessing about celebrities dying would do the same.
