How to Make Money on Etsy.com
I’ve mentioned her before in previous posts, but one of my very good friends who goes by the shop name of KnitKnit on Etsy was interviewed for an AOL Personal Finance Video which you can read about on Walletpop.com. Lots of crafty people have been using Esty to sell their hand-made goods, and I’ve been considering using it to sell prints as lots of others have done. If you’re on Etsy, this article is definitely worth checking out. There was another article on the NYT site not too long ago about how much work it takes to turn your hobby into a full-time job and they give you the inside scoop on one of Etsy’s top sellers, Yokoo Gibran. Also a very interesting read, and liberating to know that you really can do what you love and make a living off of it. Not without some sweat and tears though.
I know it’s too late to shop for Christmas—although I hear the mall is crawling with last-minute shoppers—there’s always Valentines day and birthdays to get something fun and fluffy from KnitKnit’s shop! Gauranteed to warm a girls’ heart.
This one is my favorite from her shop:

Time-Lapse of a Portrait Drawing
Our good friend Patrick has “made it a thing to draw Mom a portrait each year for Christmas, but [he] made this video for you.” Patrick is a web designer who runs his business out of Roanoke but has built sites for people from all over. Do inquire with him if you have the need for such a service. Anywho, this year, Patrick is taking on two portraits as his gift and this is the first. It took him 3.5 hours to complete and is a portrait of his Great Grandfather, Clarence Ramon Howell, who was quite the handsome lad. I love the music choice. Enjoy!

Snow Day
I love how 12 days ago, I wrote about missing “real snow…the kind of snow that accumulates to a foot,” and then voila! They’re calling for 12-18″ of snow in Roanoke! Hardy har har. If I say it, it will come.
Jeff was able to leave work early today as did a lot of other people and I sat outside to wait for him (and to watch the snow fall). Leave it to me to only use the deck in the winter. It was very peaceful and lots of cars actually drove through the grassy part of our apartment community to cut through our parking lot from the main road because there was an accident and lanes were backed up. I saw one truck go up the hill sideways and it took Jeff and hour to drive what would normally take 20 minutes. I don’t think SW Virginians are used to these driving conditions. And of course I had to do a little time-lapse with my iPhone of the snow fall. It automatically stopped shooting at 1000 frames so here it is to the tunes of Matt Pond PA’s Snow Day:

I miss all of the happenings that go on in NYC: the life-long friends, the crazy experiences, the late-night Pommes Frites, photo opps at every corner, and of course the vast variety of uh-mazing foods, among other things. But every time I leave our apartment and hit the road, I am always in awe of the view. I have to admit, I love being surrounded by mountains and the natural surroundings were missed while living in a giant metropolis. Can’t appreciate it that much in this twelve-second video but that was the reason I started the time-lapse mid-way through our drive to Jeff’s parent’s house. The clouds and mountains were beautiful that evening and I wanted to capture a glimpse.
Time-Lapse
This video clip was made with my iPhone using the iTimeLapse app. It’s been really fun playing with it and I’m predicting many more clips to come. This particular project was 870 frames, one frame every three seconds. Music is “Your Hand in Mine” by Explosions in the Sky.

Polar Obsession
Fascinating video of a gigantic Leopard Sea Lion trying to teach a National Geographic photographer how to catch penguins and tries to feed him. Really very beautiful.
Episode 1b
One day Huong stumbled upon a Macintosh computer. It had a built in webcam (see iSight).
Jeff saw that Huong’s interest had been peaked and came over to see what all the hub bub was about. The white balance goes out of whack.
Jeff decided to be silly/creepy. I decide to be normal.
Then we made a video. It it suggested that you load the video before playing. Enjoy!
