I Like MOO -- You will Too

-
Have you heard of MOO biz cards? I've gotten my cards, um, somewhere else, for years, and although I'm rather new to MOO, I'm already a total convert. I've ordered from them three times now, and love, love, love everything they do. 

The quality is really beautiful--nice paper and good printing, which means a lot to me. (Did you know I used to run a big, messy, inky, noisy printing press? True story.) And the card sizes are a bit larger than standard business cards, so they have some oomph, if you know what I mean. They also have mini cards, which are half the size of the biz cards--so cute.

And while they offer some really nice designs of their own, the coolest thing about MOO is that you can use your own photos, and if you want to, a different picture on every card. Love it. You can also get books of little stickers, postcards, and greeting cards, all with your own mix of pics. Endless, possibilities. Sometimes I just go to their site to play, but like I said, I've already ordered three times, and keep coming up with cards I just need to have made.

I like them so much I joined their affiliate program. If you order from them through the link below, I'll get a little kickback. Sweet. I've decided to host only ads for companies I know and love and buy from myself. I'm sharing MOO with YOU, because I love you. Have fun!

    I have a huge box of card left from when I did shows. The last time I had a card run they did the color badly and reran the whole 1000. Now I'n not sure which were the "bad" color lot and which were the rerun!

    I have been pining for Moo cards for 2 years! I am going to do that right after the holidays. I want to tuck one in each purchase with a little code for a discount. I think that they are like little collectors cards! I have several that I just can't part with!
    Thanks for the reminder.
    Enjoy the day!

    I love Moo cards too! I still have to buy my own, I'll do that soon with your link Kim! First I'm building up a picture stash of nice pictures, so I can make my own design. And for nice pictures I need to make some more beads :)

    And all this time I thought MOO is what the cow said. Thanks for the lead. I am a little late in catching up on the blogs, but have to post on all three so maybe I win.

cats are not dogs, and how tangling string untangles frustration

As Airbnb hosts, we have lots of lovely interactions with guests while they're here, and with potential guests making inquiries before they book. I try to be really clear in our listing, about the house, amenities, and rules. The trouble is, some people would rather not actually read the listing, or if they do, they just ignore the parts they don't like. Oy. I mean really, who thinks cats and dogs are the same thing? Today I got a booking for two nights in March, from a very nice-sounding couple coming down from Canada. They were very excited to stay here at Mermaid's Nest , and everything was great... until I got to the part in their message about bringing their cat... Ruh roh... I had stated very clearly in our listing that we allow small dogs . Cats were not mentioned. Neither were goats, snakes, skunks, or rhinos, because I figured people would see that part about dogs , and at least ask before assuming all other animals were welcome. Oh, silly me. Apparently the

I closed my Etsy shop recently. What??? Why??? Well, because I think Etsy has done great harm to the livelihoods of makers everywhere. If you do manage to get noticed, which is pretty difficult these days, it's impossible to compete with the pricing on so-called "handmade" goods that are mass produced in foreign countries. Equally frustrating to me is the number of actual makers who drastically underprice their work, effectively turning themselves into voluntary sweatshop laborers in order to stay in the game at all. I'm not playing. I would love to see makers of all fine handmade things everywhere reclaim a sense of dignity, and charge a fair price for their skills and talents. Until I find such a group of folks that I can join, I'm back to being on my own here, in my own little shop, charging a reasonable price for the quality materials and hours of work it takes to make the things I make. I feel good about this. The Shop, at the moment, contains exactl

soft spring scarf

If you come here often, you know that I finished this pretty little swath of yarny love a few days ago. The yarn is from CandySkein , and I love it. A lot. It's a beautifully hand-dyed, washable merino fingering weight that was quite wonderful to knit with, even though I'm sort of a lazy knitter and usually use something quite a lot more bulky. This worked up into a delicious, lightweight-but-warm fabric that's perfect for between-season wear. Pardon my pilly worn-all-winter sweater, and focus on the scarf. It's my favorite style - an asymmetrical triangle, worked from end to end. It has a ziggy-zaggy edge on one side, and a smooth edge on the other. The pattern is called the Hitchhiker Scarf, and you can get it on Ravelry . I test drove this one for a day and loved it. But as I do with most of the things I make, I also decided to let it go. Only three have made it into my personal wardrobe for keeps, and I'm just fine with that. Make them, love them, let

yarn that speaks for itself

I've had this amazing ball of hand-dyed-and-spun yarn for months. It was made, and given to me, by my friend Valerie, which makes it even more special. I've moved it around the house, looked at it, held it, and asked it what it wanted to be, but it's been very quiet. I've loved it so much just as a ball of yarn, I was in no hurry to knit it into something else. Here it is with my great-grandmother's hand carved crochet hook. So much wonderfulness. Maybe sometimes yarn can just be yarn, at least for a while. As the weather got colder, I started think of hats. Not just baby hats like I make for the hospital, but big hats. For me. That wind on the beach can really bite a girl's ears in the winter. So, long story short, I knitted my beautiful, most favorite yarn into a hat. I found a really easy pattern for a beret, which Rick made for his daughter (yes, he knits a bit). Here's the pattern . It's really cute! And here's my hat. Also really cute.

I'm in my outdoor office this week, at the picnic table on the patio. I have a favorite vintage tablecloth, lilacs in a martini shaker, and tea in my new favorite cup, made by Charan Sachar . I'm considering a new format for my blog, which I'll try here today. I suspect that only three people actually read this, and yet I persist. I like to write, so that can be good enough. I have lots of things to talk about, so I'm going to try dividing my time here between Life Stories and Ponderings, and of course, Knitting. Feel free to tell me what you think, or even just grunt if you're out there. Really, have no idea. Pondering... I like meeting new people. But I hate the inevitable moment when New Person will politely raise their eyebrows and ask me, "And what do you do?" It's sort of like the human equivalent of dogs sniffing each others' butts. We need to size each other up somehow , right? What better way than to sniff out what a person d
