The places being compared are Sam's Club, Walmart, Publix, Albertsons and Sweet Bay. This will only of foods I use and be in alphabetical order by product and then best price. (this will also be

I have been REALLY busy lately but here is a quick rundown of this month so you don't think I have died or something horrible (what with shootings and such at my apartment complex). Hubby is right now in Hawaii, but before you think he is lucky or something you need to know that he is waking up at "work" for 12 hours each day... sometimes more so he isn't enjoying the lovely beaches or anything.

Tomorrow We will have been in our new apartment for 7 days. We still have boxes EVERYWHERE and haven't even full packed the other apatment to move it over here. So horrible of me!I really like the new place but it does have it's... lets call them highlights, just to be nice. On the first night, there was a shooting in front of the building we live in. Seven shots fired and no one was hit that

You might be wondering why I would even want a Brita water filter, well, having just moved we are now drinking WELL WATER. That is right, 3 miles in from the ocean and we have well water, meaning that it is SALTY to the taste. YUCK! Anyway, Brita here we come.Ok, so it is really easy! You take the pledge and you get money off Brita stuff. Good stuff.

Well the little lady has decided to share her illness with the rest of the family. So she is better and Mommy, Daddy and little brother are now all sick. It is a virus. We ache all over. Right now she is in her room crying (not real tears, the fake type, which is really more like loud whining) because *she* isn't tired (she slept a bunch while sick) and wants to play (even though all of her

Well, the little lady has an ear infection (what 2 year old doesn't get these?). So we have been having fun nights. Since hubby is a doc we are waiting the 2 weeks to see if she gets over it herself. We have also been popping her ears for her (A doctor trick, makes them SCREAM BLOODY MURDER when you do it, but completely drains the ears for 5 or 6 hours... making it so she can sleep).Anyway, I

I am thinking of just letting my etsy shop die out (meaning I will not be putting the items back up after they expire.) I might do something else with the shop, but give me a year or two.

As I said before in some other post, I feed my family on 200 dollars a month. For those just googling and finding this, that includes, my hubby, me and 2 kids (one is 2 and a half with the other just being born early last May). I will also say that I use cash only to pay for food, this guarantees that I do not go over our budget.., ever. This 200 also covers diapers and personal care items. (

Ok, so I cloth diaper (and love it too) but have always used diaper covers that one buys (with Velcro) instead of the knitted and wooly type. Since the little man has been born though, I have figured out that the Velcro on the diaper covers is just plain dieing so I am now knitting like crazy. (and dyeing wool too.) So anyway pics to come on this Mama's knitting. I still need to buy the

It seems that this little guy can't find his fingers like his older sister did (even though he sucked them all the time before being born...), so I broke down last night and bought a binky. I am so glad I did! I got 4 straight hours of sleep! So much better than the one hour increments I have been getting. Of course this means that I am going to have to break him of the binky some time down

Having a newborn and staying up until 1 or 2 am the night before, I let myself sleep in yesterday (sleeping in is 8 am to me). This is normally ok to do because my daughter who is 2 and a half can't turn doorknobs. Well, yesterday she figured out how to open doors with doorknobs (her bedroom) and basically wandered the house for a few hours before I came out of our bedroom. She had by then

I had completely forgotten how much work a baby can be. Don't get me wrong, I love it but I now realize I have too much on my plate, esp. with the internet. So now I have to decide what I am going to cut. I am thinking that Etsy should be dropped (too much work to go out with a 2 year old and a new baby to look for sweaters to recycle, though I could so something like make cute soaps and sell

I am linked to Works for me Wednesday on Rocks in my Dryer. First of all a plug board is a place that you can put a little picture and link for free to whatever site you want. Most have rules like family friendly only, so if you are not family friendly or G rated then might want to read the plug boards rules... and these are not always on the site it is on but the host site so look there too!

For the last 4 days we have been staying at home and little 2.5 year old has been in panties (and had only 3 accidents but one of those was when she tried to stand up and pee in the potty like a little boy at church). So today we went out and went grocery shopping in her nice new panties and she TOLD me she needed to go potty. I am so proud.

Well, I know it is Friday and I really want to post a feature but I didn't get that done. Hubby has been using the computer ever moment that I have been free (he is in school and his grades keep food on the table so it isn't really an issue other than I REALLY want to get this done!) I will do my best for Sat. but hubby is home tomorrow and I don't know what the schedule will be like. At worst

Well, computer is going CRAZY (along with my body but hey what is pregnancy for... right?) and I hope to get the Friday's feature up, but It will have to wait until morning. So sorry!

Well, I am (im)patently waiting this little ones arrival. I saw the midwife on Tuesday this week and haven't progressed at all. The baby has dropped but that is about it.

Ok, so I might be taking a force hiatus very soon. The reason? Baby has dropped (meaning it has decided to get into position to get born) and I am having the beginning stages of labor.Now the nitty gritty of it all:Contractions are about 10 minutes apart and 1 to 2 minutes long. You don't need to call your doc/midwife and head to the birthing center/hospital until they are 5 minutes apart and

EtsyBuy Handmadeartisanimpact Ilan, Oded and Ev are completely passionate about jewelry. They have been making and selling gold and silver jewelry for 16 years in galleries. Their designs are inspired by Spanish and other cultures. They decided to start selling online on Ebay in the summer of 2007 but do not think it is as good a fit as Etsy is. They heard about Etsy in July of 2007

I had an appointment today with my midwife and it turns out that I am 60% effaced and at 2 centimeters. Great news if you ask me, considering that I was safe to give birth as of April 8th or something like that. (Meaning that the lungs and everything else was fully developed and baby may be a little underweight but fine.) My midwife says that I am good to go whenever labor starts. I really

These are some helpful hints on taking photos I have found and am sharing at Works for me Wednesday hosted by Rocks in my Dryer:1. Take LOTS of photos! If it is grandkids, something you are trying to sell, or anything in between take a bunch of photos. I take about 100 photos for each of my yarns I have for sale and up towards 300 when doing a photo session for my little un. So glad I have a

Hubby is working in Trauma Surgery this month so he can make is own schedule. He needs to work something like ten 24 hour shifts this month. Seeing as I am due in early May I am encouraging him to work as many as he can before the 18th of this month so if I go early I can keep him at home and not feel bad about it. Of course the munchkin daughter is NOT liking having her bedtime messed up (

This last week has been spring break for hubby (the last one he will ever get too) so I have been busy. We went out some, we reorganized the house, and we set up the crib for the new baby. Our little 2 year old is doing some really cute things too. She had outgrown the "Pat The Bunny" book and now only want to be read "The Silver Slippers" book. We have a ballet work out video that is our

Well, have been posting on etsy for over a month. I followed different peoples advice and only posted every so often instead of all at once so as to keep my shop on the front page when I could (I would have posted more at first but I made myself promise that I wouldn't post unless I had the money to pay the etsy bill). I have posted on the forums, gotten treasuries, and even advertised to try

I got a lot done today for my etsy shop. I got all the washcloths photographed and am ready to post them. I am going to be doing that over the next few days instead of all at once so as to keep my shop active.Aunt Kathy: I have put 3 up now and a new yarn. I intend on putting up the rest nxt month.

Easter and the baby shower went well. I got 4 bouncers which was kinda funny but I got all but one returned and now can buy what I need (storage for baby!). My little one had a good time Easter egg hunting, no pic though.I am officially not going to have any more knitting classes until post birth so I am selling the washcloths on Etsy when I can get photos taken. I picked them up yesterday and

Ok, so I need to post more. I have been noticing that this month I just haven't been. I have started a new blog that isn't really a blog, more of a big ad for my etsy shop. I am exclusively advertising for it and not for etsy so I can see what ads are working and which ads are flops. Don't want to waste my ad money needlessly!In other news, I am having a baby shower tomorrow. My roommate is

I have been working pretty hard to get more yarns up on my Etsy store and have discovered that my photos were too big to post (thanks MoonMothPress for helping me!). Now I will be able to post more, though I am thinking about one yarn every few days is good for now. I have major knitting to do because I am pregnant and in the nesting stage of it and really want to get a few more little things

Ok, I finally got my little 2 year old to distracted long enough to not only take pictures of my swift but to download them. They yarn is a lace weight merino wool that I hand dyed (760 yards of it too) from a recycled sweater. I am going to sell it, or at least try if I can ever get a pic that actually shows how pretty it really is (the pic does NOT do it justice! but I tried!)Ruth: Thanks

Ok, so because we got tax returns back, hubby and I am allowing for a splurge in our spending and each getting a "big" item. So last Sat. I ordered a swift from Ebay. (before I was useing the end of a table that measured 93 inches and just untangled the yarn when it needed to be reskeined...) It *should* come today! I am so waiting for it too! I am holding off on all sorts of yarn reskeining

Well, I have started doing my money stuff on GnuCash business wise (though really we are only at hobby at this point). I am finding it really easy to work with which is great. Just need to remember to save often due to my little daughters hands seeming to close windows on me at the worse possible moment... I love free software, esp free software that works really well.

Well I had knitting class this Sunday and I think it went well. One of the students suggested that I have 2 classes: one for learning to cast on, knit and purl and another about 2 weeks later to learn to bind off. I like this idea and will try it upcoming months of teaching.I am also working on getting all the crazy bookwork for a business under control. I have started to do double entry

Because my temp is 101 to 102 right now with out meds and the meds I can take are putting me in a fog. (I think I have the flu that my daughter had about 2 weeks ago, which makes sense because it takes 2 to 3 weeks for the flu virus to gestate.) Anyway it is a

I have been thinking a lot about WHERE I want this blog to go and what I want this blog to be. I really don't want this blog to lose the fiber aspect, but I have also been wanting to write more about family and religion too. The reason for this is because I started a Bible Study at church (Beth Moores' Daniel Bible Study) that I want to blog about too, not to mention family stuff that comes up,

Hubby, daughter and I got a mini vacation this Sunday/Monday to Orlando. I got to knit the whole way which was nice of hubby for not making me drive. I got through with almost 1/3 of the knitting and writing of the pattern for one of my designs. I feel great for it.I keep trying to make it to a knitting group meeting but so far no-go.I did go to A.C. Moores charity knitting/crochet thing last

Anyway I FINALLY got my digital camera and my computer to like one another and got the photos on flickr. They are now in my Ravelry stuff but will be posted here soon. It seems that my husband deleted a few of my pics but I still have the yarns and the projects so I am really ok (

For those of you that don't know this, I am kinda trying to make a business of my knitting. I mean at least tax wise I am. So because of this I am trying to write a business plan even though I am not taking out loans or anything. Now you may be wondering why I NEED a business plan considering I am not looking for investors (I know my hubby is) and the reason is I need it to keep focused on

Sorry for such a long hiatus but I was traveling and then my 2 year old daughter got a temp of 103F so blogging wasn't really high on the list of things to do. Anyway, now I am back and I picked up yarn to kool-aid dye so we will get pics of that whenever it gets done.

and packing and a bunch of other stuff, but what am I doing? That's right knitting....I finished knitting up my hair curlers and sewed in the ends this morning. So they are now in my hair and I am wanting to make more knitting stuff. I won't let myself but still have a burning desire to knit. Crazy I know.On a good note, my little sister wants me to knit for her and she is providing the yarn.

For the last 3 days I have been *obsessed* with making my daughter a hat and finally got it right. I was changing the yarn from fingering to bulky so lots of changes had to be made to make it fit. Not hard just frustrating.I think I was just avoiding finishing that BSJ jacket for my little niece. Now I have no excuse and will be finishing it tonight.

I made a calorimetry yesterday and have been working to make a baby hat as well. It is in bulk and I do have pics but I also still have that pesky virus on the computer.Anyway I did finish both but discovered that the hat didn't fit a 2 year olds head, though 42 stitches in bulky would work for a preemie if anyone is interested! I ripped it and am knitting that again, which it really no wast

Well, I have been very busy lately and have taken photos but due to crazy computer updates, we have a computer virus and I am taking no chances with my digital camera. I can at least tell you what I have been doing.1. I have almost finished a Baby Surprise Jacket (BSJ) by Elizabeth Zimmerman for a little cousin's X-mas present.2. I have made 2 more free patterns, only crochet. I won't be

Ok, so The Crafty Cat is taking part in a pay it forward thing on her site and well, I decided why not. I am going by the standard rules, plus my own rule so as not to get stiffed.1. The contest starts when I get my package from The Crafty Cat. I will be posting a pic of whatever she sends and THAT is the actual contest post.

Seems I was celebrating a little too soon, someone did sign up for one of my A.C. Moore classes but has since withdrawn.As you can see I didn't do a soap making or a yarn dyeing class, not enough interest for me to convince myself I can make up the costs to actually go out and buy supplies. I am planning to do soap making in Feb. but I need to make some money with the knitting and crochet

Ok, so the awesome yarn artists at The Unique Sheep have accepted a pattern idea of mine to get free yarn for. I am hoping to have the yarn before X-mas so that I can see about getting swatches done and get the pattern submitted to Knitty. Sadly I can't tell you what it is, due to how Knitty runs itself nor can I post pics of WIP. Sorry

Ok, so I made it to the fiber art meet up at Barnes and Noble and was the only lonely person there. Hung out at the coffee shop for about 30 minutes then transfered to the knitting section of the store and hung out there looking at books for about 45 minutes. I did meet several other knitters looking for books and told them that I was trying to start a knit night or sorts. Got several "I'll

So after much thought on the name this yarn should have I went to the thesausus and started to look up synonyms for the words I though described it.I ended up liking Ardor, so Ardor it is.

So I said I would wait til Monday... I couldn't... so I did it tonight!For the record the colors used were:1 Wyler's Lemonade (yellow),1 Mixade Lemon-Lime (green),1 Kool-aid Twists Berry Blue (blue),1 Mixade Grape (purple),and half a package of Kool-aid Fruit Punch (red)I started by soaking the yarn for 20 minutes then draining all the water that would pour out with out pushing on the yarn.I made

Well I have one person signed up for my knitting classes at A. C. Moore so I am really excited. (Even though was hoping for something like 5 or 6 people but it is right before X-mas.) I have signed up in January to do one knitting, one crochet and maybe a soap making or a yarn dyeing class. I really want to do the yarn dyeing but think I might have more interest with the former.In other news I

Today I tied up the Knitpicks I am going to Kool-aid dye some time next week.It is about 3.5 yards around so we are looking at some longer repeats. I am sooo excited! I don't want to wait. I was really contemplating just making a huge knot (with help from my 2 year old daughter) and then dying that and seeing what I get.Here are the "Kool-Aids" I have. As you can tell some are off brands

Since I am teaching a class at A. C. Moore and I wanted a REALLY easy and fast knit for the class, I decided to write my own.I used Sugar n' Cream yarn because I like the feeling of it though Red Heart works better for dish cloths and size 7 (US) needles.Cast on 24 stitches. Knit until you get the desired length (to get a square you fold the cast on to the knitted edge). Bind off.Gauge is

Well, since MY computer is out (I am on hubbies) I can't post pics for now. I am disappointed but not much can be done for now.I am designing some baby knits for a yarn designer (Unique Sheep) and am hoping to make some money off of pattern sales on her site or sell the patterns to Knitty. If Knitty doesn't want them then I will most likely sell on her site until Ravelry starts hosting patterns

I got a gift in the mail yesterday from a friend on Ravelry. It was three skeins of lovely lovely lovely Rowan All Seasons Cotton in a mustardy yellow color and a woodsy smell. I have no clue what to do with it but am happy to just pet it for now.

Last night I went to my first knitting group meeting here in Fort Myers. It was in Barnes and Nobel and I am happy to say that I escaped the store with out a single new book. Sadly, It seems that no one showed up other than the group founder. She said that 4 people were supposed to be there but no one showed. In fact the person that invited me didn't even make it!

I found some fun shops, two to be exact. Since I just moved to this town about 3 months ago this was a happy surprise.The first store is named Geez Leweez and, though, having a decent selection of yarn, doesn't have the quantities necessary for a sweater or any other medium to large item, though from what I was told by the owner is that she was waiting on several orders. They do have a lot of
