Yes, I crocheted a sweater for a friend's guinea pig. Big deal. But as it turns out, I may have found my niche, because nobody else is making them. At least not on Etsy (website for selling handmade stuff.) I did find a couple more by googling, but only the pattern to make it is for sale, not actual sweaters. So I listed it as a custom item. Barbiloulou's Shop Stay tuned.
I really don't have trouble filling my day. I might if I cared to clean more, do more good deeds, or cook for pot lucks. But I don't, and the days go too fast anyway.
Recently, I exposed The Secret to being happily retired in Mexico: One Task Per Day, Maximum. Already today, I did the dishes, washed and hung out 2 loads of laundry, and scrubbed out a rancid beer cooler that may have had forgotten bait in it. That's at least two days worth, right there. Plus I'm dressed! True, I left off the bra (hate'em, need'em but hate'em). Jammies are the norm unless I have a function to attend. And it's almost 2PM. Soon it's time for Phil and Oprah, then I'm grilling bass for dinner. Whew!
Love the sweater, that is too funny. I think you have found a new market for sweaters lol.
ReplyDeleteToo much work for 1 day for sure, be sure and take it easy tomorrow.
Barbilou, that was far too much work for one day. What will the neighbours think?!
ReplyDeleteI checked out your Etsy shop. I love the furry slippers. Too cute.
I just noticed that you added me to your blog list. Thanks!
do you have a pattern for this?
ReplyDeleteNo, sadly. I made it up as I went along, complete with fittings on the recipient. Tried to reproduce it for a customer, but her guinea pig was humongous and I couldn't get the leg holes where they were supposed to go. Had to refund her money. Thanks, though, glad you like it.
