Ceramic Tree Bulbs

I'm always surprised every year how many people tell me these are hard to find. So I figured I would remind my customers and friends that I have the bulbs in 3 different sizes and 4 different shapes. I also have the light bulb for inside the tree and the tree tops. 

I wish my iPod touch could....

Its coming time to do inventory. For the last 40 years the family (and some friends) have gotten together and hand counted every item in the store on paper. For the last few years I've then taken all this and entered into excel to get the final number to give to our accountant. I really wish I could use the camera on my iPod Touch as a bar code scanner where the information would drop into an excel like piece of software. I realize it would take some time to set up I think it would be quicker and more accurate. 

So I put this out to the interwebs. Is there a program that does this? Is there someone who has solved this problem already and feels like sharing??

Thanks

Santa Towel Topper Gift

I needed a gift for a very good family friend. She always loves the crochet towel tops so when I saw an old photo of a crocheted apron of santa. I thought I could change it around and crochet just the head and hat area small enough to fit on the top of a hand towel. Here is the results. What do you think?

New Knit Books

I always love to find new companies to deal with. The smaller the better, because you get to meet great people with stupendous customer service. 

The newest company I am now stocking is Jean Greenhowe Knitting Pattern Books. These are some of the most original and detailed 3D knitting items I have ever seen.

I found out about her books from a customer who asked me for 1. I did some research and placed the order. The books came quick and in perfect condition ready to sell. 

I started small with only a few of her titles but plan to eventually have them all. To see her full catalog go to http://www.jeangreenhowe.com/

In stock now are Christmas Special, Bazaar Knits & Little Gift Dolls.
