New Cool Site : Polyvore
Today I was reading my Google reader and one of my favorite blogs: Our Suburban Cottage. She was talking about a site she uses quite often: Polyvore. It is a site where you can make collages withe real products sold on the web. I tried it out and I think i may be using this site more and more!
Here is my first go at it!

Catching Up
Today I decided to catch up on some things that I haven't had time for over the past couple months. I have just started a new job that allows me a more structured schedule to work on my Etsy Shop and my crocheting.
It had been about a month since I last uploaded more photo's on to flickr. In my previous post I talked about how I had finally update some old photo's in my etsy shop. So today I added them all to my flickr page. It feels good to have them online and visible for people to see.
Along with that I decided to take a look at my favorites on etsy. I had 197 pages of favorite sellers. I started going through them ( as I haven't looked at them in forever) and realized some of the shops had unfortunately close and some of the items were no longer listed. So this is my current project: updating favorites. It is giving me a chance to see what I liked over the years and what is out there on Etsy. It is also helping me with a little research.
As I am getting use to my new schedule, I hope to a lot more time to my shop and reaching my goal: To be a full time Crochet Designer!

Updated Pictures Finally
The presentation of a shop is essential in whether or not someone is attracted to it in the first place. In an internet shop, having great pictures makes your shop and your merchandise more marketable.
When I first started my shop I took pictures of my items just to get them online. The whole shop concept was new to me. Over the past two years I have learned a lot about selling online and on etsy. I started taking pictures of my items in a different manner, a more pleasing manner. The only problem was my shop was not coherent.
Finally today I was able to take pictures of some of my older items. And after editing them they are now updated in my shop. It took me a while but I finally have a shop that looks the way I want it to. Here are some of the pictures I took earlier:

The Forgotten Projects - Part 2
This Wednesday I started a article series called The Forgotten Projects. To recap the purpose of this series is to help me get organized and sort through all my unfinished projects. Last time I promised to make a list of projects that needed to be finished. As I was making this list I realized I needed to prioritize my projects as well as include the new orders that I was receiving.
Here is my list along with explanations for the ordering:
1. Finish my grandmother's purse. Not only will this be long over due but it will also make her very happy. She has not said anything about it for a while and i think it will surprise her when she gets the package in the mail. Along with making her happy, it will also have the added bonus of her using it and bragging about her granddaughter.
2. Promo Bookmarks. About a week or so ago I answered a Etsy forum post for promos. She needs them by a certain date to get these "thanks for purchasing goody baggies" together. I need to make thirty.
3. My boyfriends belt. My boyfriend asked me me to make him a belt because he could find one to match his new shorts that he received for his b-day.
4. Take pictures of two tractors. About a month or so ago a women contacted me through A.Nieman Photography asking me to take a picture of these two tractors. Her husband was a huge fan of the one, she was a huge fan of the other. She asked that I make a digital image of the two facing each other. She gave me no time frame but i feel i need to get this done because her husband was diagnosed with cancer.
5. Pillow for custom order. I had a request for one of my crocheted pillows. No time frame on this one because she is having problems with her pay pal and doesn't want me to start until she gets it all settled. I have to buy all the materials still.
6. Finish other purses. I have a couple of purses that need their linings sewn in and/or snaps attached.
7. De construct. As I was going through my forgotten projects I realized I stopped most of them because I messed up then I abandoned them without undoing the yarn. I need to undo the yarn to I can use it for something else.
Well thats the list. My next step will be setting a calendar of dates for completion of each project. I will post this on my blog using my Google calendar. Hopefully I will finish this tomorrow since I have the day off of work.

Changes on ANiemanPhotography
Over the past two days I have made a lot of changes to ANiemanPhotography.
Among these changes are:
* Mega bytes added to all digital image listings
* Prices changes on all images
* Links to my policy page for further info and pricing.
I had to make these changes prior to adding anymore images to the shop. I have tons of images to add from both myself and my father.
Please stay tune for my new additions!

The Stan Hywet House
This weekend my parents came up to Akron. We had dinner at a wonderful Thai restaurant called Pad Thai in Montrose( west of Akron). It was really good. The appetizers were excellent and everyone enjoyed their entree' but me, but that was my own fault. I'm not a fan of coconut but I went ahead and order a dish that is made with coconut. It was a curry dish and I thought that the curry might out power the coconut but I was wrong. Silly me. The stir fir my mom and boyfriend got was amazing! One was with basil and the other garlic. I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
In the morning we went to the Stan Hywet House. It was built by the founder of Goodyear between 1912 and 1915. It is a massive estate with gardens surrounding the home. The day was quite hot reach 90 degrees but there was a great breeze. We first toured the gardens immediately surrounding the house while we waited for the house to open. My favorite of all the gardens was the English Garden that reminded me of the Secret Garden.
The rooms in the house were amazingly beautiful and in wonderful condition. I wish i could have taken pictures of the inside. My love of historical design was excited by all the antique pieces. The main period of design was Elizabethan, Jacobean Tudor. It is one of my favorite periods. The house was built ion the 1900's so it had full electricity and full house vacuum.
After we toured the house we walked through the rose gardens which were so fragrant. My father and I took tons of pictures. His camera is better so his pictures are definitely going to be better than mine. I probably won't have his images for a couple of weeks. In the mean time I will be editing mine and posting those on my shop.
This is a picture of my father taking some pictures of the grounds.
There is also a butterfly house that has some breath taking butterflies and moths. Please check back for more pictures to be added to my shop:

Have a nice Day!
