Etsy Treasury

My red cable and lace scarf was featured in pinkbubble's Vegan Love treasury.  Pinkbubble has a wonderful shop on Etsy as well where she sells jewelry. 

Lasagna with Daiya

I just made an amazing lasagna with lots of mushrooms, spinach and Daiya. It is absolutely delicious.  Daiya is a vegan cheese that melts just like cheese but without any of the animal cruelty associated with real cheese. 

Christmas family knitting

This post will be the pictures of the scarves I knit for my family. How I found the time to knit them on top of all the custom orders I had I don't know.

 

My business cards

I finally got around to taking a picture of my business cards, I have a fourth style since I just ordered again from Vista Print this week. I love all the free stuff you can get and Priority shipping was free as well.

Things are working very well with the Etsy shop and I intend to make it work. I just love all the knitting I get to do and I really don't see myself running out of ideas. I look at yarn and all kinds of different creations come to mind. It's the same thing when I look at Ravelry and all the wonderful projects people have knitted. Right now what's missing is the time to knit all the ideas I have.

21 Sales in my shop

Today I had my 20th and 21st sale in my Etsy shop. Youppi! for moi! The cable and lace slim scarf has been my best seller so far; I have knitted new colours and some with added fringe.

I must one day knit these adorable mice I found on Fuzzy Thoughts http://blog.fuzzymitten.com/2009/11/holiday-mice.html They are absolutely cute. They look like an incredibly easy and quick knit! I just wish I could find time with all the knitting I have to do for my Etsy shop not that I am complaining things are going so well.

Black scarves

Lately I have had orders to knit scarves in black; one cabled and the other lace. The cabled one was a nice and quick knit although I did have a hard time finding a nice yarn I wanted to work with. It is now enjoying its new home in New York City.


For the lace scarf I knew exactly what yarn I wanted to use from La Bobineuse and it turned out gorgeous. It is a nice simple lace pattern but knitting in the black and with the 3-ply yarn was a bit of a challenge. This one is enjoying its new home in the vicinity of Québec City.

Business cards

I ordered business cards from Vista Print over the weekend and my order has already arrived. I did pay for the 7-day delivery since I wanted them as fast as possible to give out in my orders and people at work had been asking for some. The business now seems a bit more serious with cards to hand out to people. I will post a pic of them later during the week.

On November 22 will be the Big Veggie Gathering at the HEC Montreal at the l'Oréal room. It is a vegan potluck and some different associations will be represented as well. Viva Granola, my favorite online vegan store, will be there. It should be an interesting afternoon.
