I Made $19

On Saturday, I went to an arts and crafts festival to sell some beaded jewelry I made. I didn't take much because I didn't have much, but I sold five items and made $19. Unlike many other festivals, the booth space was free. I'm hoping I can get a little more stuff made so that I can eventually open a store front on Etsy, a website that sells handmade items and supplies for making handmade crafts.

It will take me a while to get enough stuff to turn a profit; beads can be kind of pricey. But it was encouraging that people were interested in my jewelry.

Sidenote: It's Another Woot-Off
Typically, the Woot website features a single product at a discount each day. Once the product sells out, Woot waits until midnight Central time to feature another item. Every now and then, though, the site has a Woot-Off, when another item is posted as soon as one runs out. I love keeping track of Woot-Offs to see if anything that I can use for gifts comes up for sale.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.
