FLYING ZOO TOYS!!



I am a member of Etsy--which is a website for crafters. You can find so many diffrent gift ideas on this website for anyone you can think of. Shortly after I joined etsy to shop for friends and family I started to post my own handmade items from scarves to blankets.


I then decided this is such a great website and decided to join a group and find a mentor to help me with my shop. The group I joined is called "ETSY TWITTER TEAM". Twitter is another website to blog/chat with other people througout the world.


This week the team has launched a new projected called "SHOP OF THE WEEK". This week "FLYING ZOO TOYS" is our Shop of the week. Here, flyingzoo.etsy.com -you can find all of these fun flying toys. They have tons of fun and bright colors to watch as they fly on by. My favoirte ones in the shop are :"


Flying Ladybug Wooden Mobile Toy" :

brrr.... its really cold outside

Well its really really really cold outside today--they are saying that its feels like 15 degrees right now --I beg to differ;) I just sat down to work on my square blanket project--I currently have 4 green squares done and I am working on a blue one--it should be done by later tonight.
I should prob. also mention that I sell things on eBay too--its under the same screen name jenco13. I try to list my new items on Sat afternoons/nights. So I have about 10 listings to do later for that too.
My other hobby is to read on my days off--I am currently reading Marley and Me by john grogan. Its quite good. Unfortunately I haven't seen the movie yet--I'll prob. just wait till it comes to the Red box ( a local rental DVD vending machine--DVDs are $1.00 a day!!). Movie theater's have become too expensive lately $11.00 for a movie per person and then another $20 for the popcorn and soda!!
That's about it for now--come back soon--hopefully I have figured out a way to get the follow this blog button up-lol
stay warm all-Jenco13

Welcome to my blog--here you can see what is the newest items I will be creating!! I currently have four projects going
1- is a blocks blanket in navy blue and leaf green
2- a scarf my mom wanted made out of fun fur in a beautiful blue
3- a baby blanket in baby pink, bright pink and white
4-a custom order blanket in a periwinkle and white--(you'll have to stay tuned for this one!!!)

I always have several little (ok sometimes big) projects going. When life gets crazy I take time to work on a project--if its a really hectic day I will pick something less detailed but if I'm looking for a challenge I go for the big and detailed project.

I currently have a web page through etsy at Jenco13.etsy.com where I have several pieces of my work. I am always opened to new ideas and look forward to what types of custom orders that people ask from me. Currently most of my sales are done in person through friends of friends or family members.

I wish everyone a happy and healthy 2009.
