Swap-Bot & Pen Pals & Knitting

Yesterday I was going to put up a post about swap-bot.com which I joined recently. So far I am totally in love with it, I wish that I had a lot of money to send people some really great gifts. I figure that if anything I'm going to try to join most craft swaps so that I can give my best without breaking the bank [which is unfortunately empty].





Anyway, I joined a button swap and I am supper excited about figuring out who my partner is because I have a whole bunch of buttons [sneak preview above], I think I might add some brads and ribbons to theirs. Also, I was thinking about making a Friendship book so that I can get some pen pals and such but I am a little skeptical of giving a lot of people my information. I suppose I should ask my "roomie" what they think about it.

In addition, although it is my mothers birthday today, my mom said that in a month and a half or so she will try to get me a sewing machine since I am totally into crafts and stuff. I am think that I will save a lot of money if I make my bags a long with other things, myself. I am super siked about it, I wish she could just get it for me now.

Also with a sewing machine I can make cute stuffed animals and sell them on an etsy type site... or just make them for myself and to give out as gifts. I am sure I will think of some super cool things to make.

Now the big news is that as I was moving things I looked trough my yarn stash and saw a few of my old projects which just made me want to make some new ones and last night I looked up how to cable stitch so I am working on a scarf. My plan is to make a really cute one for me and then maybe make a few extras for gifts or to sell.

I really need to think of some ways to makes some money. If you have any idea's you should so let me know. Also if you have ideas for my Blog, i would love that as well.
