http://team.etsy.com/profilest/CPLG.shtml A few of our EBAY group have migrated on over to etsy.com. I am going to participate in the ebay boycott this week, but will be returning to ebay later.
If you are an artist of handmade items, and are not considering selling on etsy, I'd encourage you to give it a look and a try. Listing, revising are very simple, and much less expensive. Learning a new selling venue can be challenging, but hey, if you're taking the week off from ebay, why not spend part of that time setting up your new shop on http://www.etsy.com?
If you are walking on thin ice, why not dance?

Etsy is easy to use
I've listed a few items on etsy this weekend to learn how to use it. On EBAY my CPLG group is starting a launch of Easter bunny themed items today and throughout this week. Now I need to settle in and do some work for my day job!

Working on a Big Honking Rug!
Right now, my crafting minutes are being used to work on a pictorial rug as a challenge for members of Primitive Rug Hooking Group on ebay. My rug is coming right along, and sometime after our first deadline(February 29th) I may put a picture of it here on my blog. Until then we are NOT supposed to show it to anyone!
Can't decide what to do for the background. Have thought about making it look like notebook paper sheets. Only problem with that would be white background is gonna get grimy pretty quick if it actually hits the floor. We don't have one of those lovely homes done is multiple shades of white.
We do have an indoor waterfall, and two kitties, Bob and Kirby Kat. Kirby looks a bit like this:

A Quilter can love wool 2! Primitive Rug Hooking Group
This is my first attempt at blogging, so it should get better. For years, I've called myself a Nike quilter 'cause I just do it. Sometimes better than others, and let's face it, my quilts are better viewed at a distance. But I do know after 35 years as a teacher, that practice makes progress even when it doesn't make perfect.
Lately (for the last year or so) I've switched over to Rug Hooking with my crafting time. I can budget my time by allotting myself so many worms before the rest of my homework has to be done. Like, I can hook 4 worms, and then back to paper grading! Papers are like laundry or the dishes, no matter how many are finished, there are more to replace them. PRHG is an ebay group that is simply the greatest thing going. I also belong to another group of dear hearts CPLG which stands for Country and Primitive Ladies Group. Both of these groups of ladies I'll probably never be in the same room with are dear friends. Perhaps I too am better view at a distance.
Hope you'll be patient, it may be weeks before I think to blog again. Like anyone but me will be reading this! Cotton Eyed Jo
