Safety Cone to the Rescue!
I was originally inspired to make a crochet safety cone because of a pin version I bought from Nut and Bee. First off, if you don’t know Nut and Bee, check out their site. Someone near and dear to me took to the pin, placed it on a messenger bag with the idea that it would protect from everything bad out there. (Would have preferred an infinite number of them!) A soft, more 3-D version seemed in order!
One of the first times I sold the safety cones on Etsy, it was a lot of 6 that was requested. (Buy them here!) The reason? She was buying them for a friend’s cubicle. A week or so after I sent them out, the friend contacted me with a very positive response and the subject line “Safety Cones Everywhere!” She writes: “I work in construction management and I have done lots of envrionmental work, so safety cones hold a very special place in my heart (i.e. I don’t get hit by cars, and you always feel safer when they are around). Looking forward to brightening up my office with the cute little cones!” Um, that’s adorable! And the thought of the six of them in an office fills me with glee. Yes, glee. More pics here.
A week or so later, someone else bought cones! 5 of them this time around, and for multiple friends. This woman is moving away and wants them to “stay safe” after she does so. How cute! I love the stories that often accompany Etsy purchases. It really brings a personal aspect to virtual shopping.

Aw, this was an incredibly good post. Spending some time and actual effort to create a superb article… but what
can I say… I hesitate a lot and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.

This article really stood out for me. As an aspiring trainer 3 week diet and current classroom teacher, there was so much that I was thought was spot on, especially about presenting ideas 3 week diet with humility, neutrality and objectivity. Being open to challenge is so important, the more people do this, the more they are engaging with the application of what is being taught to their own lives.

Admiring the time and effort you put into your website and in depth information you offer.
It’s great to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the same
out of date rehashed information. Excellent read! I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS feeds
to my Google account.

Hmm it looks like your website ate my first comment (it was super long)
so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to everything.
Do you have any tips for inexperienced blog writers?
I’d really appreciate it.
