I promise you we will eventually have some content around here!  LOL.  But I&#8217;m going to take a week or two at this point and restructure my web presence a bit. Stay tuned&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d forgotten just how exhausting it is to work retail at the holidays.  Yikes.</p>
<p>Anyway, for kicks and to see how it works out (and because I think a little competition might be good for Etsy), I opened an <a href="http://artfire.com">ArtFire</a> shop: <a href="http://neatlytangled.artfire.com">Neatly Tangled</a>.  Had a sale already, which I&#8217;m going to take as a very good sign, seeing as how I&#8217;ve only managed to list two patterns.</p>
<p>I hope the holidays are bringing you joy rather than the appallingly common misery.</p>

It&#8217;s my oldest daughter&#8217;s birthday today, so I&#8217;ve been taking time out for the festivities.  I&#8217;ll update this post when I&#8217;ve got it posted everywhere.  In the meantime, here&#8217;s a pretty pic:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One year from my very first sale, I&#8217;ve sold 230 items on Etsy.  That&#8217;s a hell of a thing, isn&#8217;t it?  I&#8217;m shocked, and pleased beyond belief.  I seem to have wound up focusing on patterns, which wasn&#8217;t my original intention, but I&#8217;m thrilled with the way that it&#8217;s working out.  I love doing this.  I love it more than I can quite explain, although the fact that I get up an hour early every morning to make time for it might be a reliable indicator.  Heh.  But seriously? For me there&#8217;s nothing quite like it in the world.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s going to be another great year. Thanks, y&#8217;all.</p>

<p>Yay!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;d rather use Etsy than the Ravelry download, you can also find the pattern in my Etsy shop over there in the sidebar.  The finished dishcloth looks like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/neatlytangled/2733625874/" title="sqsp4flickr by neatlytangled, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3280/2733625874_c98aa74741_m.jpg" width="240" height="229" alt="sqsp4flickr" /></a></p>
<p>Spirals and dishcloths are two of my very favorite things, and I couldn&#8217;t resist the urge to combine them.  I have to say that I&#8217;m pretty happy with the result!</p>
<p>I&#8217;d like to extend a huge thank-you to Tracie at <a href="http://thecrochetstudio.com/blog/" target="_blank">The Crochet Studio</a> for testing this pattern for me.  Any errors that might still be lurking are there despite her attempts to straighten me out.  <img src='http://neatlytangled.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   Also, I&#8217;d like to note that she&#8217;s also got a pattern out in the last few days that I was lucky enough to get to test for her: <a href="http://thecrochetstudio.com/blog/2008/08/02/sunny-picots-coaster-pattern-available/" target="_blank">Sunny Picots Coaster</a>.  It&#8217;s beautifully written, easy to follow, and the finished coaster is stunning.</p>
<p>I&#8217;d also like to thank all of you.  Designs need crocheters to bring them to life.  Your support also means that I can justify doing something that I absolutely love.  Thank you.  <img src='http://neatlytangled.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>And now I&#8217;m off to celebrate by working on the next one, lol.  Good night!</p>

<p>I could wax rhapsodic over everything that&#8217;s happened since I took a deep breath and hit that button to put that first item live (where ohmygoodness someone might see it and buy it and what then?), but it seems more a time for celebration than introspection.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m into my regular workweek now, so a bit scarce the next few days.  As soon as I get a chance, though, I need to take some fresh pictures of fresh works-in-progress, because it&#8217;s been too long since we&#8217;ve had a picture post around here.  I&#8217;ve got a lovely drop-stitch scarf on the needles, I&#8217;m knitting dishcloths, and I&#8217;m trying to decide what to add to the list now that the blanket projects have been put away for the summer.  Hmmmmm&#8230;.</p>

<p>Other than that there&#8217;s not a lot happening in crochet-land just now.  I was hoping that I&#8217;d get a chance to work on the new dishcloth today, but the kids are acting possessed.  So I should probably find something to clean instead.  And tomorrow it&#8217;s back to work.  Um, yay?  LOL.</p>
