Cleaning House

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

I’m thinking of listing some things on etsy. I have had an etsy account since they first opened, but I have never used it. I am thinking it is time.

I will have some “stuck at home/can’t go outside” time next week, so I am thinking it is the perfect thing to keep me busy. I have quite a number of buttons that I will probably list. There was a huge pack of buttons that contained the perfect buttons to use on an existing cardigan (two had been lost). The only problem was, I had to buy the whole pack. They are nice buttons, but I really can’t use all of them. I would rather sell them to someone who can use them in something they do. I have to fund my Gocco habit some way, right?

Speaking of gocco. I did a test run with my only set of bulbs. I did a Torchwood/Seal of Rassilion. I ruined the Seal of Rassilion side of the screen when I attempted to clean it. I managed to clean the Torchwood side without causing harm. The screen held too much carbon, so I have to learn how to handle that. I did use the filter, but still excess carbon. I think I may have held the machine closed too long.

I need to purchase bulbs, but I haven’t due in part to my need to do other things around the house. If I had the bulbs I would want to play. I really haven’t had that time. So it was best for me to not purchase any. I will probably order them in a month or so. Once my schedule calms down. I hope.

So, if I do list anything on etsy, I’ll be sure to post about it here as well. I’m not itching to get rid of anything quickly. I just have the time coming up to sit and take pictures of buttons. That’s all.

Sonic Knits

I already have a sonic screwdriver, but I think it would be possible to convert this pattern for a knitted sonic screwdriver into a cozy for my sonic screwdriver.
