Arachnophobia Conquered

Arachnophobia is an issue that many people suffer with in varying degrees. I wonder if it would be better if all spiders looked like the ones I have created today. I am having difficulty making it so that the legs don't spin and it is frustrating for me but I will keep trying I think. My favorite one is the orange one. I like the legs the best. If any of you crafty people reading this have suggestions regarding the legs and keeping them in place, I would be so happy.

I have placed my dragonflies on etsy inactive so that I can work out some logistical issues with regard to shipping. I am not allowed to ship from my APO address for reasons of military regulation, and after going to the German Post I realized it's NOT cost effective for me to ship that way and I actually ended up losing a little over two dollars on my first sale. Regardless of some obvious loopholes, it isn't worth the risk to me or my husband to ship through the military and I don't mind giving them away to friends but I am not willing to give them away to strangers and what with losing money I actually paid to give them away. Not too bright I suppose :) I am disappointed though. But for now I will confine myself to selling from the Patch Multicraft store--which is fine and still makes me happy.

Oh, a note about the girls...their hair was NOT too ratty last night so that was pretty exciting. Both of them did see my point about hair on your neck in the summer making you hot and wore braids today though. It's funny when children realize their parents actually know a thing or two. Imagine that :)
