Finally, I am back at home and ready to get back to work on my fiber crafts. I have spent the last week at the beach with Walter's 4 daughters, 2 son-in-laws, 2 daughters' boyfriends and 5 grandchildren (aged just under 2 to 11). It was absolutely crazy but I loved every minute of it.

Access to the internet was non-existent (hence, no new posts) and on the one day that I made it into town to try to check up on email and send out a few packages, the USPS site was down. So, I came home to a bit more work than I anticipated, but I have caught back up.

While I was at the beach, I did finish a new "knit to felt" purse that I am designing. I'll be adding some pictures to the blog in a day or two. I am really enjoying making purses this way, particularly when my machine is not convenient to use. I have been dyeing all of the wool for the knit-to-dye purses and if there is a demand, I will be adding some to the website soon.

There is not much more to tell for now. I have 12 days home alone to work since Walter is on a voluntary teaching assignment in Lithuania....Vilnius exactly. So, I have added a coupon to my website for a sale while he is gone. Just type in VILNIUS as the coupon code and get 10% off of your entire order. That should keep me busy enough while he is gone, while still giving me some time to play.

Now, I am off to start working on a pillow that I started before I left for the beach and about a dozen postcards for swaps. I'll be posting photos as I finish. Hope you are all safe, well and having fun.

BUYER BEWARE: Do NOT purchase from this “business owner!” Check out her company’s rating of “F” at the South Carolina Better Business Bureau and click the links for documentation of her dishonesty and theft:

Her first complaint was resolved – apparently at SOME point in time she believed in doing the right thing. But the complaint at issue today is the second one, marked “BBB did not receive a response from business.” In November 2013, she accepted $70 from a customer on PayPal and as of today (4/27/14) has NOT sent the merchandise OR provided a refund.

By clicking ‘Read complaint details,’ you can see customer’s repeated and polite attempts to contact business owner, however Denise (business owner) did not respond for MONTHS. She also ignored the Better Business Bureau’s attempts to make this right. After months of ignoring the customer, she finally called TODAY, screaming that she would only refund the money IF all negative Facebook reviews were removed. So she STILL refuses to return the money she unlawfully kept because she dislikes that the truth about her business practices is finally being revealed to others.

Keep your money and avoid the hassle (and theft!) that comes with doing business with Try Our Designs!

STILL waiting, by the way, for her to refund the money she accepted (LAST YEAR) for products she never sent. It would be really nice to see her do the right thing…

(FYI, in case you’re wondering why you can’t give her a Facebook rating anymore, she took the feature down today to hide her one star reviews.)
