    It has been quite a while since I’ve shown y’all what I’m creating for the craft fair. Which by the way is only NINE days away! OH NO!!! I’m still creating items to sell. My Craft Items I’ve got mugs, tumblers, t-shirts, slate signs, chapstick/lipstick holders, bottle holders, earrings, faux leather covered notebooks, Stanley Cup Charms, bookmarks, porcelain ornaments, wallets that attach to the back of your phone, and car coasters. WHEW! After I typed that all out I feel pretty good about the variety of items. I’m going to sprinkle some photos around now. This is such a HUGE difference from my very first craft fair where I had 10 t-shirts! Yes, that was all I had. Great news is I sold them all. Keep your fingers crossed I sell a lot this year.

    November Giveaway

    How is it time for my NOVEMBER giveaway ALREADY!?!? Don’t throw anything at your computer, or toss your phone across the room BUT we are only 62 days away from 2025!!?!??!  I swear when I was in high school I thought 2025 sounded like it was a zillion years away. However, it got here way too dang fast. Also, where is my flying car?? October was busy up here on the mountain. MOSTLY because The Husband got an infection in his eye. Of course it’s the eye that has the monthly shot for Wet Macular Degeneration. To read the entire story (if you are interested) head over to my What I SHOULD Be Doing post. Apparently, The Husband’s eye infection only happens 1 in every 10,000 patients. We are still making the trek to Spokane (2 hours each way) for twice-weekly eye appointments. SO much fun. NOT!!!

You thought my spelling was bad before? With the help of hands that move on…

    Pipe Plugs

    Pipe maintenance and repair are critical operations in various industries, including construction, manufacturing, and utilities. Pipe plugs and caps serve as essential tools in such tasks, offering an array of benefits that ensure the integrity of piping systems. They are key components used to secure the ends of pipes, prevent contamination, and facilitate repairs. In this article, we’ll delve deeper into the pivotal role these items play in the upkeep of pipe infrastructure. Below, we’ll explore the nuances of their application and the advantages they provide. Benefits of Pipe Caps in Protecting Pipe Ends During Transportation and Storage Pipe plugs and caps are vital for maintaining the integrity of pipe systems. While plugs aid in internal maintenance, caps protect the external ends during transportation, preventing damage from impacts and abrasion. This safeguarding is crucial for ensuring pipes remain intact from the manufacturer to the installation site. In storage, caps also shield pipes from dirt, insects, and water, which can degrade materials and compromise quality. Color-coding caps for easy identification enhances efficiency in handling and reduces errors. Using pipe plugs and caps not only protects pipes but also leads to significant cost savings by minimizing waste and unnecessary purchases. Understanding Pipe…
