It’s past time for another favorites post, especially since the past 2 weeks have been extra crazy! I need to stop & remind myself of the good stuff! These posts are just about the things I’m loving right now & things that make my day a little better. It’s always good to look around for the positives in life, so we don’t get caught up in the negatives.
Online Postage
I opened an Etsy shop at the end of the year & I can print postage for those packages through Etsy. I’m finding that I’m sending out more packages other than for Etsy, so I decided to give Stamps.com a go. You get a 4 week free trial & a scale if you pay the $9.99 shipping fee. Today I used it to mail out my Fibre Share partner’s package to the UK!
It’s awesome to be able to print out my postage & put it right in my mail box. I live about 20 minutes from the post office, so this makes things much easier for me!
Happy Mail
Who doesn’t like happy mail?? I love sending it as well as receiving it! Remember when I said I mailed out my Fibre Share partners package today? Well I was very excited to see a package from my Fibre Share partner in the mailbox this afternoon!
Look at all the goodies & yarn!! As I said in the beginning, this has been a crazy two weeks & this was a welcome surprise in my mailbox. This was such a fun thing to participate in & I can’t wait to do it again!
Indie Dyed Yarn
There seems to be a little bit of a yarn theme in this month’s favorites! I decided to try out yarn clubs on Etsy this year & do reviews for them on my YouTube channel. I’m trying out a different one each month from a different Indie dyer. This month I tried out Teal Torch Knits Murder Mystery Club. The yarn colors are based on Miss Fischer’s Murder Mysteries this month & they are amazing!
It also looks like they are taking a break while they’re at Stitches West – so awesome! I’ll be looking through all the yarn clubs on Etsy again this weekend to decide which one to try out next month. My review of this yarn club is down below & you can check my channel for last month’s review. : )
This & That
Here’s just a few more things that made me smile this month…
Last month I had winter roses & this month I spotted azaleas blooming! We’ve already had pollen on the windshield, which is just too early for me!
I found a bag of York peppermint patties in the freezer after Christmas. They were supposed to be for stockings, but I forgot they were in the freezer! I’ve been enjoying them myself every now & then as a treat. 🙂
In case y’all didn’t know, I’ve put myself on a self-imposed craft buying ban until spring. I had to visit some craft stores this past week to make purchases for my Fibre Share partner, so I was really happy about that! 😀
I hope y’all have a great weekend!
