What's going on this week

Ok, so first of all I made it to 100 sales, (woohoo!!!) and I decided to do a sale afterall. So right now I have all my blankets at 20% off. Hope it goes well. Actually right now I'm at 105 sales. My goal was 110 by the end of the month. Yeah, I think I'm going to make it. :D

Let's see.... As for my current projects, I still have that multicolor blanket that I'm working on. Last week I had other orders that were higher priorities so I was working on them mostly last week. I think right now I'm halfway done with the multi. And then I have 30 BILLION ends to weave in. Ok, not that many, but a lot. Think about it. about 8 color changes per row, 2 ends for each color change= 16 ends per row. One row equals about 1/2 inch. So, 2 rows per inch. That's 32 ends per inch. Then the blanket is 50 inches..... I think you get the point. That's gonna take awhile. Hopefully I can get the blanket shipped out by the end of this week though.

Also, recently Dad has been able to get me some business through his work. Being a termite inspector he goes lots of places and meets lots of people, and I actually think this is sale # 3 or 4 that I've had through his work. Thanks Dad! :) Anyway, I have a blanket to make for one of the realtors that he works with. And I also have another one that I have to make for the same person, I just don't know what it is yet. He hasn't decided.

So I started a thing awhile in my shop where if you buy 3 blankets, you get one free. So basically I just made a listing for the price of 3 blankets, and told them to just let me know what 4 blankets they want in the 'notes to seller' box at checkout. Well guess what? Someone bought one! Yay! When I saw the notification from my Etsy app on my iPod came through I almost fell over. I've had big sales like that before, but I haven't had one since about April. So it came as kind of a surprise. :) She chose a pink blanket, a purple blanket, one that I call 'Spring' (it's pink, purple, yellow and orange) and my neopolitan ripple. (one of my favorite blankets of all time!) The only problem is I have to make all 4 of them. :D Sheesh. Sometimes I wish that people would just PICK THE BLANKETS I HAVE IN STOCK!!! :D It's fine though. It keeps me busy. Besides, the neopolitan one I already had about halfway done. I had started it and was trying to remake it, but I had to put it aside to work on orders. Yay! So I only have 3 and a half blankets to make for that order. :)

Well, I guess that's it for this week. Oh! I just thought of something. Some of you know that my mom is pregnant, and Monday all 8 of us went to the doctor's office to find out the gender of the baby. And it's a girl!!! Yay! Not only does that mean that I'll have a healthy, beautiful baby sister, but.... I also have a model for my blankets!!! Haha. Does that seem kind of wrong or selfish to you? I mean, the fact that I'm excited about having a girl so I have a model for the first time? I can't figure it out. :)

Ok. NOW that's all I have for this week. Until later!
