Shopping Spree

Today I went to my favorite book store...Boaders and bought my swap partner's book. She likes Nora Roberts, so I got her "Key of Light" the 1st book in the "key" series. I could of given her one of my many many Nora Roberts books, but the problem with that is I cannot part with them. I had a 30% off coupon so I did save on the book. Then of course I had to buy other interesting things like a bookmark, buttons, a crochet book, cute post cards, pens, and an inspirational book for my DD. All and all a great trip down book haven lane! then I went to Lowes to spend my Mom's day gift card that DH got me...I got a verbena plant, gerber daisey's, some succulent ground cover, the purple flower ones, Black Eye Susans, and a beautiful hybred "hot pink" geranium...yum yum.....I had a plantastic day!!!! oh yeah a "booktastic" day too!!!! He..He...now off to plant and read!!! TTFN....

Ok I am starting a new book called "Two Little Girls in Blue" by Mary Higgins Clark and it is a good one gals...Its the kind that you never want to put down. Has anyone else read this book? Check out my new blog for reading. DH has a cold. :( I sure hope it doesn''t wmnder to me!!!

Here is a new soap dress I made yesterday. It is really a cute pattern I think?

I was surfing the blog scene and found a great positive blog and found "8 Ways to Spark your Creativity" it is a wonderful positive outlook on life. I also found a great Yarnival Newsletter for knit nuts and readers. I must add this blog to my regular blog surfing places.

This link has tons of great knitting sitches and the how to directions. http://www.knittingonthenet.com/stitches.htm

Well I found a pattern for Weasley's Sweater at Knitsmiths Blog at: http://alison.knitsmiths.us/pattern_weasley.html I just love it. What other patterns do all you HP fans have to share?

Here's an addicting Word Crunch addicting fun link: http://www.rocketsnail.com/wordcrunch/index.html

Some legal stuff I found to be quite interesting ....

What is a Logfile?

This information is For the people that have no idea with what happens on a www site....

EACH DAY, every domain and subdomain has a LOG FILE. It's a Word Pad type documents, that list EACH AND EVERYTIME someone accesses EACH PIECE you have on your www site.

If a person copy and pastes a background, a header...what ever...you get a list for EACH piece that was accessed.

It give you the URL of the site where that piece was called. They are hyperlinked, so all anyone has to do is click on that and it takes them right to where that piece has been copied and pasted.

So anyone stealing Bandwidth (and violating a designers copyright), when it is done you leave a calling card ....a trail a bread crumbs RIGHT BACK TO YOUR SITE.

If you are stealing large amounts of bandwidth, these people could actually sue you for loss of money. Off MSN, people has to pay for bandwidth. So you when you steal from them you are costing them more money.

It records the date time your ISP the image that was called, even tells what browser you used to call for the time, even tells if you are using dial up or DSL to connect and then lastly, it gives the URL that is calling for that item.

So when you steal from people on the www. you are leaving a calling cards saying "I am MSN groups yadadada I have this on my msn group" EACH AND EVERY TIME that someone opens the message on a message board with stolen graphics or each time a custom page opens.

An Article on Making Felted Wool Beads

I found these on Mary Jane's Attic Blog explaining
"How to make wet felted wool beads " It's really a pretty interesting and not very hard fun thing to do with your yarn. Try it and see what yours looks like. I know I am.

You need a special wool called "carded" wool.

You will need for the whole project :

• Carded wool or wool roving
• Some warm to hot water
• A few drops of dish or hand soap to water [remember if scents bother you then use an unscented brand. Also put a little in the palms of your hands]
• And a towel to keep everything dry and clean

Now have fun and tell me how your beads came out.....

Halloween Costumes for our PCC party 2006

Christmas 2006

Point Breeze Designs (PBD) is an online store to get quality, original, and affordable handmade items. PBD specializes in purses and Barbie doll clothes. All the designs are original designs unless noted. Please browse around the site and if you have any questions click on the "contact us" link above.
Thank you for Stopping by!

About Us:

Point Breeze Designs began in July 2005. I decided to embark into my own business when I recieved comments from others that my work of crocheted, knitted, and handmade items were so elegant, and well crafted, that I should sell them to others to enjoy. My husband helped me choose the name of my business as it relates to where I actually grew up as a child.

I started to adventure out into crafting when I was in my teens, and most of my expertize comes from my Mom's talented nature and helpful advise through the years. Although, she is longer with us I can attribute my ambition and desire from her teachings.

I began crocheting first; then knitting; later I ventured into any crafting patterns that captivated my attention for a foundation into developing new innovating designs. After completing several projects I found that my purses and Barbie doll items were where my "niche" would be best concentrated on.

I consistently scout out new crafting ideas that I can add to my collections, and always welcome any advise, or ideas in designing from customers and viewers.

Mission Statement:
___________________________________________________________________
My mission is to design attractive and usuable items that every person would want to own; keeping the quality at its highest standard; and paying special attention to being unique and afforable with the the utmost consideration to customer service. ___________________________________________________________________________
