Is $15 too much to charge for a blanket with crochet trim?

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

I have been making these blankets for like 6 months now. I am trying to pin down a good price that is low enough to sell, but high enough that I actually make enough money for it to be worth my time.

could some of you moms ( or dads) check them out and tell me what you think? you can view all 5 blankets at one time at www.crochetbymom.etsy.com

Thanks in advance

Hiking in Virginia?

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

I am planning a hiking trip in the south western part of Virinia. I want to hike in the mountains, however, I do not want an extremly difficult hike or a easy one. Can anyone suggest a trail that goes through the mountains and is maybe a loop, because i am only planning on a day hike. I would like to hike for at least 6 - 10 hours. I am having difficulty finding trails in the area that let you know if they go through mountains and how high you hike. Thanks for any help.

Best hiking shoes/boots/whatever for women?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I’m moving to a mountain area pretty soon and want to spend a lot of time hiking…I’ve never done more than a few hours though and always in sneakers. I want to invest in some good footwear for this but I’ve no idea what to get. I’ve heard trail running shoes are more comfortable than boots but that the latter have better ankle support. So any advice (especially from those with size 9 1/2 W feet) would be greatly appreciated!

Kids embroidery question?

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I used to have these little printed cardboards with holes in them. Almost like a dot-to-dot, but you would use shoelaces to make the pictures form. It was something I had in the 80’s when I was a kid and it helped me get into embroidery. Does that sound familiar to anyone?
