Ha! Ha!....I know! It's been a looooooooong time since I blogged! And I have the nerve to be thinking about trying to start blogging again, on a more regular basis. Before I venture down this road again though, I was just wondering if there is anybody out there that would read it! :-) Call this post my "dabbing my toe in the water" moment. LOL<br />
So, to give me a clue to my readership, please leave me a quick comment to let me know what you've been up to lately. An update 'sorta kinda' of what's new in your neck of the woods.I would appreciate the feedback.....or the encouragement.<br />
To update you on what's new with me: I'm still me! :-)) Isn't that a lovely update? (As if I could be anybody else anyway! Duh!!) No, seriously.....I'm still crocheting slippers. But not for my shop. Just for ha has....or for gifts.......I'm on the 'tail end' of the flu. (It's been 3 weeks so far. Cough! Cough! Sniff! Sniff!).....I have to go into the hospital for an overnight sleep study soon. (Have to check on my Sleep Apnea and update my equipment.)<br />
Let me see.....was there anything else?.....Hmmm......I hear crickets. I guess that means NO!! :-)) I guess that if I think of anything I can blog about it later....Right? :-)) Talk to you later. Have a good day, Y'all!<br />

Hello Bloggers! :-) Can you believe that Spring is almost here again?!!! I can't! And I also can't believe it's been this long since I last posted on my blog!! I think all of the internet changes and me not having my Etsy shop anymore just took a toll on me. I felt like I still wanted to talk just as much as before, but what was I gonna share?!...Songs from Youtube?....No, can't do that anymore. How about other people's photos?....Nope! Not unless I wanted to get into a whole 'rig-a-ma-roll'!! (You just have to forgive some of my 'do-hickey, rig-a-ma-roll, nonsensical talk sometimes. Sorry! Ha! Ha!)<br />
As an update.....uhhhhhh.......................................yep! There you go! :-)) It's been pretty much 'same old, same old'! My 'crickety' arthritis is still about the same. And it's raining today too. OUCH!!! My aching knees, joints, and sideways fingers thank you for your concern. :-)) Also, hubby is still driving the school bus. The only update about that is that he just won an award for the best bus driver of the year at his company. :-) I took some pictures of the prize he won......a basket full of goodies. If I can figure out how to upload them now, I'll post them below. If not, you go to your imaginary 'happy place' and just pretend you saw them and smile. :-)<br />
{I'm sure there is all kinds of new stuff going on with you guys, right? Please share in the comments below so I can catch up!}<br />
I just remembered one other new thing that's happened lately. I got an email from a customer I had in my Etsy shop back in 2013. He lost his favorite tiny crochet lapel pin in an airport and wanted to know if I had another one to sell. Unfortunately I had to tell him that my shop has been closed for a couple of years now. But I had him send me the photo of it so that I could make him another one.....without cost.<br />
I made it and sent it out to him the next day, along with a couple of other ones that I still had (similar to the style he liked). He received them and was thrilled that the one I made him looked exactly like the one he lost in the airport! :-) He inquired about payment and I told him it was not necessary. (It gave me such a thrill to know somebody appreciated my work that much!!!)<br />
Cut to this past Friday....................I got a notice in my mailbox that I need to go and pick up a letter at the Post Office (apparently it has to be signed for) from this customer!! So, hubby has to go and get it tomorrow! I'm curious, nervous, excited, and all kinds of other emotions all wrapped into one that someone would go out of their way this much over one of my tiny crochet lapel pins! :-) Has anything like this ever happened to you?.....I'll keep you posted.<br />
Okay, here are hubby's photos of his gift basket:<br />

So, all in all, the best school bus driver of the year is gonna be just fine!....He may have a toothache the size of Manhattan....but I think he might be alright with that!! :-)) Me and my chocolate-toothed grin bid you farewell for now. :-)<br />

The headless model above is my "Tina". I didn't have another photo that fit my subject, so there she is...in all her headless wonder! :-)) My subject today is actually NOT headless. It's my dear girlfriend who has no idea that I'm sitting here writing a blog post about her! ^_^<br />
She is in the room with me....Well, not actually 'with me', because we are 'mentally' apart. Meaning I'm on my side of the room with my headphones on and my computer in front of me, typing away...while she is with her own thoughts, headphones on, writing paper and pen in hand, oblivious that I'm actually with her.....while we're alone! ^_^ (Thus the title of today's post!)<br />
Do you have friends that you can be okay doing this with? Sit for hours in the same room with, but apart, I mean? :-) ----- And while I'm saying this I'm aware that in this day and age we "BETTER" be able to be okay with this!....because we live in a world full of people who we are together with on the earth, but mentally apart from most of the time! And, for the most part, we like it that way!...and sometimes prefer it that way!!<br />
I have to say, my husband and I have spent more than 35 years doing this...at some part of the day or another. I think it's a thing that happens with long time relationships, or really good friends, where the two people involved are self-aware, but also secure with each other. I dare say :comfortable". :-]<br />
I love the fact that I could look over at her right now and smile and she would assume that I'm thinking about something deep. LOL Little does she know....she has a silly, sometimes superficial, friend!! LOL Now I'm going to post this deeply thought out 'diary-like' post and make her read it!! Ha! Ha! {That's the other good part about good friends.....they're so gullible if you catch them at just the right moment!! ^_^ Have a good day everybody!<br />
<br />
<br />
Alone Together<br />
<br />
Friends can share their space together,<br />
while their thoughts can be alone.<br />
They can occupy the same room,<br />
although traveling on the phone.<br />
<br />
At some point they come together,<br />
communication must be had!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know, I know! It's been almost 7 months since the last time I blogged!...WOW! That sentence almost sounded like the expression people make when they're in a 12-step program! ^_^ "Hi, my name is Poetesswug. It's been 7 months since I last had....an urge to spill my guts in print." Ha! Ha! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Okay, enough with the funny. Let's get down to what I've been doing with myself the last 7 months!.......Uhhhhhh........Well.........Ummmmmmm......Okay, back to the funny. Just kidding! ^_^ What I've been doing is taking a break from my 'Wuglyees', on Etsy, shop. I haven't sold anything there for over a year now. (Although I am contemplating re-starting it soon. We'll see.) I have been crocheting like a crazy person just the same though! In fact, I have enough scarves and slippers now to dress at least the east coast half of the frozen and sleepy U.S.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> And they need to be dressed now, considering the tundra-like weather they're getting right now! Brrrrrrrr! Here in Holyoke we woke up to a forecast that said we were going to get a temperature 'high' today of.....1 degree! And, to add insult to frozen, un-warm footed, injury, there will be wind chill gusts of up to minus 20 degrees!!!! WHAT???!!!!!... The weather person said that if you were outside for more than 10 minutes you could get frost bitten. {meaning that the exposure to that kind of cold for 10 minutes or more could cause you to injure your body tissue, especially your nose, fingers, and toes to the point of causing gangrene!!!} Considering the fact that I am inside my house with 3 blankets on my bed, a heating blanket at the ready, and the thermostat kicked up to "hot-cha-char!", I don't think frost bite is in my immediate future! ^_^ Maybe bacon bite......potato bite......or some other kind of food bite (where I would be doing the biting! LOL), but not frost bite! ^_^ </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> If I was motivated enough I'd be thinking about new recipes for chili or hot chocolate or soup. But nope! I'm not that motivated! :-)) What I am motivated for is talking!...and reading.....and wiggling my toes under some warm cover! Oh yeah....and crocheting! :-) </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I'll leave the snow and wind and wind chill temperatures for the outdoor lovers. You know, the people who see beauty in snow men and snow forts... </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> ...in other words, 'those' people! LOL I joke about it, but secretly I wish I was one of 'those' people. My husband is! He loves outside and snow piles! ????? It's been 35 years of wedded bliss with this man and I STILL don't know how we're still together!! LOL We're almost opposites in everything!....except the things that really matter I guess. :-)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Moving on!!......The last thing I want to talk about today is my excitement to find that Blake Shelton, you know...the country singer...is following me on Twitter!! ^_^ Or at least I think it's the real Blake Shelton! ^_^ WHY he's following me is a mystery! In my imagination he's following my Twitter page because of following it from this blog, where he saw my poems listed at the bottom of each page and is trying to figure out how to write a country song out of one of them! A country song that will become an instant hit that will make me lots of money so that I can buy lots of crochet yarn and long Johns for my husband to go outside and make snow men in!.....because....Uhhhhh....he's Blake Shelton after all! ^_^ STOP LAUGHING! It could happen! And wouldn't all of you be 'too through' with yourselves if it did! ^_^ Okay......back to tundra-like reality! :-)) I think the temperature....gauge is going to my head. ^_^ Have a good day, Everybody! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Good Morning Strangers! ^_^ Yes, I know it's been a very long time since I posted. And yes, although it may be somewhat in mental dispute, I AM still alive! Ha! Ha! I also am still talking my head off just as much as usual. Just not on the blog!! ^_^</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> Lots of things have happened lately. Not the least of which is that there have been coyotes, deer, rabbits and bears....YES, BEARS...in my backyard! <i>Making me a bit squeamish about hanging my hummingbird feeder up anymore</i>. :-( There's also been lots of arranging and re-arranging of the things in the house. A lot less crocheting, due to health issues and pain in my hands. <i>I'll be back at it again soon though, as the weather clears up.</i> And there has been a death in the family. My mother. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> I also have a brand new computer which I'm just learning the personality of. <i>You DO know that all computers have their own personalities, right? Ha! Ha! At least they do in my world! </i>I still have to get my email fixed up and put my pictures back on it, or in it, or however you say it. And after that I have to figure out how to access my pictures!! UGH! WHATEVER!! Let's just say that even if I start to post more often, I will probably not be sharing a lot of pictures!! ^_^</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> I also can't upload my poems!! UGH! So I'll have to write new ones every time....at least for now. DONE! ^_^ Leaving a poem behind! :-) See you soon!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bears in the Backyard</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bears in the backyard,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">big horned deer sauntering by,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">rabbits playing on the hill,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">and black birds circling the sky.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Robins hunting for their worms,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">with raindrops falling in the air,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">bees and insects buzzing round,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">but hummingbirds abuzz nowhere. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Must be the changing backyard scene</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">when summer tries to rear it's head,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">when allergens are on the loose</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">and winter snow has gone to bed. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I know, I know! It's been forever since I actually put a post up over here! But what can I say...I've been busy...I've been lazy...I've been sick...I've been distracted....I kept forgetting to do it...I was crocheting like a crazy person! (The above hat and scarf will be shown in a talent show soon.) Yeah, that's it!! All of the above!! ^_^ That doesn't mean I didn't want to do it though! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I 'have' been keeping my eye on a few blogs of yours every now and then though! It's been nice to see some of your crochet and art projects. I've been impressed with how much some of your talents have improved, and with some of the trips some of you have taken. WOW!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Here in Massachusetts the leaves on the trees are gorgeous! October in all it's splendor!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> The backyard has been so colorful! :-)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Not much else to talk about these days. Which is also another reason why I haven't been blogging that much! ^_^ Unless of course you'd like to hear about my Etsy shop that hasn't sold much of anything for months!...Or my husband's bicycle that keeps getting a flat tire every other day!...Or my hair that's graying faster than a snowball rolling downhill. YIKES!! LOL...No, I'll spare you from those conversations!! ^_^</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Maybe I'll start sharing some of my crochet projects, or telling you about the weather here in Massachusetts. I'm sure you're just on pins and needles, waiting to here about it, right?!! Ha! Ha!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It was a lot of work, but it makes my heart happy to know that her and her new husband will be wrapping up in it on one of these cold winter days, or throwing it around themselves to star-gaze on one of these crisp Autumn evenings, or just throwing it over their legs while they're sitting in front of the tv and watching an old movie or something on one of these 'noting-else-to-do' days! ^_^</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Speaking of which, Mr. Wug and I have had quite a few of those kind of days over the years. Almost 40 years of those kind of days, to be almost exact! :-)) And this weekend will mark about 34 years of those kind of days as married people! :-) Me married to him, with him married to me! ^_^ So I wanna take a minute to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Mr. Wug!!! I love you, and all the good intentioned things you do for me!! And also to say: "34 years is not enough. Let's try for a round number like......FOREVER, shall we!" ♥♥♥ ^_^</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Lastly, let me apologize to you other bloggers. I haven't spent much time browsing and chatting this past year. My Bible studies, crocheting projects, tennis tournaments, the Tour de France, etc, took waaaaay more of my time than I ever thought it would! But I've thought about you often, and peeped in when I could. I've seen some of your recipes (even tried a couple), saw your finished crochet projects, saw your travel photos and videos, and read about some of the trials you've gone through too!...Not to mention the fact that the world itself has gone a little more crazy than usual!!! YIKES!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> We're in the midst of a kind of 'heat wave' here in the northeast United States. Thankfully air conditioning makes an equalizing! ^_^ So, I never even notice the weather that much! LOL I just watch my hummingbirds flit and fly, read my books, and otherwise 'keep it moving!' ^_^ So until next time the notion hits me, I'll be seeing you around! Have a good rest of the summer, or winter, or whatever season that's upon you!! :-) See you soon!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Isn't it nice, when you barely get through a bad night of sleeping, and you haven't even wiped the 'sleepy eye juice' from your eyes, to look out your backyard window and find a small striped-back friend staring at you?! ^_^</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> I had to roll the window shade up a bit so that I could get a better...clearer...look at him! :-) I was a little afraid to do it too, because I thought for sure that as soon as he saw that shade go up he would scamper off.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">After I told him about my fried egg and rice concoction, which he wasn't that impressed with, he said: "Well, enjoy it. See you later!!"

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Hi! ^_^ Just thought I'd stop by really quickly and share some meat with ya! LOL This is the pork chop, string bean, and home fried potatoes dinner hubby and I had last night! :-) And yes...It has come to this. Me sharing pork chops and a few words with you, while watching tennis match after tennis match of the French Open. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> It's especially important to share on days like today, when I don't want to share non-upbuilding stuff with you. Like the gory details of a night not spent feeling well. BLAH!!...Instead I'd rather share pork chops and non-depressing glorious sunshine!!...which has replaced the dreary depressing rain I was staring out my backyard window at yesterday!!</span><br />

It should be all over in a few weeks.} We're not exactly sure how having it will change our situation just yet, except for the opportunity to make more money per hour, but we're hopeful that things may get a little easier!!...I'll keep you posted. :-]</span><br />

I think that might be just my allergies though....Yeah. I still have those!! UGH!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> The backyard has a weird sky overhead this morning. We had rain overnight, and more of it this morning. I'm not sure, but I think the weird sky means we're probably gonna get more rain later this morning....*sigh*...Don't you love hearing about New England weather from a 'wordy' girl with her eyes on a French Open tennis match, with a headache, and a cough?! ^_^ </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yes, I waited until French Open tennis time to do another blog post......sorry. :-)) And yes, I 'AM' still alive...and well! ^_^ I just haven't been in the mood to blog. Go figure!...ME....not in the mood to talk my head off?!! LOL<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> It's true. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I was busy though...crocheting...reading two Jane Austen </span>books.....crocheting.....napping.....crocheting! You know, the usual stuff! ^_^ In fact, the photo you're looking at is a blanket I finished recently. It was a LARGE project!</span><br />

And then another blanket too...all blue (very detailed too, which you 'can't' see from my photo-taking! *shaking my head* Yeah, some things, like my photo-taking skills {or lack thereof}, haven't changed!), as the backing. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And each one of the pineapples had to be sewn onto the back blanket!!! YIKES! It was a lot of work!!...But I was paid very well for it, so it made it well worth it in the end. :-) But ask me if I want to make another one...and watch me squirm and go into a mental jerking spasm!! LOL</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> So, that being the case, you might be surprised to know that I started another blanket a couple o days ago! ^_^ I'm making a wedding ring blanket...Shhhhhhh!...for a friend, as a wedding gift. And after I finish it, I might be starting ANOTHER one, for another friend's wedding gift!! ^_^ </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> In between I've been making lots of crochet slippers. FUN! ^_^ But, right now, meaning this third week of May, 2016, I'm all about tennis!! ^_^ Yes, it's French Open time again!!...So, now you know. Not much has changed with me!! ^_^ New England weather here in Holyoke is finally heading into Spring-like, robins are flitting and pecking all over the backyard, my hummingbirds are flitting and sipping at the feeder, my hubby is flitting and darting on his bike, and all is well!...except for a few 'flies in the ointment', so to speak, here and there. ^_^</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I'm hoping to get back to a more regular blog schedule. I miss it! :-] If you're still along for the ride, tell me what you've been up to. And in the meantime how about a little poem! :-) Have a good day Y'all!! ♥</span><br />

LOL</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Soooo...what have you been up to?! ^_^ I checked around a little bit and saw some new recipes you've been posting, a sick doggie :-( whose now on the mend, a new medical diagnosis for a young man, and some other funny, funny stuff too! It's nice to know that you guys were just 'getting on with this thing called life too', just like me! ^_^ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Of course, my 'getting on with it' always involves some kind of crochet!...It also usually involves some kind of nap and a good meal or two also, but that's a story for another time! ^_^ My latest crochet projects have been ones I'm not taking very many pictures of, like this new hat.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm in love with this hat, and it was totally done this way by accident!! ^_^ A true 'Ugly Wuglyee' creation!...My girlfriend's mom bought some yarn, on sale, and asked if I could make her a headband and a hat for the winter. (It was the variegated black, gray, and white on the top of the hat above). I made the hat and headband, using her own patterns...{I actually made TWO headbands. One was too large for her, so I gave it to another girlfriend of mine. ^_^)...but afterward still had a bit of the yarn leftover. And you KNOW how I hate to waste yarn! :-) So I started one of my 'flip-up' hats and figured "wherever it runs out, I'l just add another color and finish it." :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Was I ever surprised at how cute it looked with the black around the bottom!! ^_^ </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Now I'm thinking that maybe this should be a style that I do my flip-up hats in from now on!...What do you think?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> In other news, my girlfriends hosted a 3-day Open House at MY HOUSE :-) to show all of the crochet items I have around here, and to catch up with some old friends. It was great!! :-) I even sold a few items from my substantial stash!! ^_^ ...Unfortunately, I'm still re-organizing my house back to it's previous condition though....WHATEVER!!! LOL Love and friends before organization, right? :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> In other, more exciting, news. I have a new long-term customer! Well...a co-collaborator of style, really ^_^ His company is working on a new high-end menswear line and guess what?...My crochet boutonnieres are being included!! :-) I've been going back and forth with him for a while now, crocheting different styles and colors and textures of boutonnieres, narrowing the look down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I've been receiving boxes and bags of different threads at the house, and working up and sending off boutonniere pin after boutonniere pin! :-) It's been so much fun...in between my crochet hat and slipper making of course. ^_^ This is one of the sparkly boutonnieres I did recently...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">...but I'm working on eight new ones right now...all different colors and styles! ^_^ I'm hoping that when the company gets through this process of nailing down particular looks, my little crochet boutonniere flowers will still be on the list! Who knows...maybe my little crochet boutonnieres will go 'High-End' and finally get the recognition they deserve! ^_^ In other words, shouldn't flowers...of whatever kind...always be recognized?! ^_^ I say: YES! And in that case, why not my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/wuglyees?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav"><i><b>wuglyees</b></i></a> boutonnieres too!! ^_^</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> For the time being, I'm trying to keep my expectations low. I've been burned before by ventures that didn't go well long term. But I have to say...I love this new customer. He's very reliable and professional and just a joy to collaborate with! :-) It's really nice dealing with someone who knows and appreciates your hard work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> His company will be getting off the ground running in January some time I think. So...we'll play it by ear and see how it goes. In the meantime, I'm loving the challenge and creativity of it all! ^_^ And I'll keep you posted....Hopefully more regularly than I have been keeping you posted! LOL</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Okay, I'm off to try to get a little more sleep. It's not even 5:30 a.m. here yet! O_O Do you believe that?!!!!...Yeah. I woke up with a stomach ache from eating a bite of an OLD OLD OLD candy bar....{that's what I get for trying to shop at a 'dollar store' in California on my 'virtual date'!! LOL}...but now, after talking my head off, and using my brand new ergonomic hand massager on my belly, I'm feeling much better! I think I'll just take me another little nap! ^_^ Night, night! ♥ ...I'll leave you with a napping poem. How about that?! ^_^</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A Little Doze'll Do You! <br /><br />I enjoy my sleeping, and a doze,<br />a nap, and such.<br />In fact I might enjoy a snooze <br />entirely waay too much!<br /><br />At any time of day,<br />you'll find me like a weeping willow.<br />Head hung low and dragging,<br />looking for the nearest pillow.<br /><br />No, there's nothing wrong.<br />I'm not depressed. I've still got bounce!<br />And I can stay awake and be<br />quite witty when it counts!<br /><br />But I've been awake for things<br />when I could've been asleep.<br />And now my time's so valuable<br />I don't treat it like it's cheap.<br /><br />My sleeping, dozing, napping,<br />is to my life a special key.<br />It unlocks and refreshes<br />and dispels anxiety!<br /><br />Most people try to fill up <br />every hour in the day.<br />But me, I'd rather be asleep<br />and waste it all away.<br /><br />There's plenty hours left<br />for all the flit and play and chore.<br />An hour for a nap right now?!<br />Why not?!

But I've been keeping a lot of company with the friends in the photos on this post. ^_^ They're a cool bunch of young, younger, cooler, and older friends who love my crochet, and love helping me show it off and try to sell it!! Woohoo!! </span><br />

<i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></b></i><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Happy Wednesday, (Hump Day) Everybody! :-) Although, NOT such a happy Wednesday for hubby and I so far!...We woke up to the sound of pelting rain on the windows, and joints that were screaming in pain!!...Ours!!...O-U-C-H!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Waking up to joints screaming in pain is nothing new for me, but hubby is usually in pretty good shape...pain-wise...except for an occasional backache from sleeping in a weird position! But this morning he found it different because of a recent fall off of his bike! O_O He jammed his thumb into the ground pretty good...or rather, pretty bad!...and it has been swollen and throbbing ever since!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I, on the other hand, always have trouble rolling over in bed when the weather gets all rainy and...achy!! Thus the nicknames hubby decided he would give us this morning...'<i>Scoop Thumb</i>' (because he can't use his thumb for anything, except in a careful scooping motion) and '<i>Roll-Along</i>' (because that's my mode of transportation at the moment)!! ^_^ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I didn't let him see me howling with laughter as I was visualizing him scooping stuff with his thumb, while I was rolling along on the ground in front of him. LOL If I did, that would be all he'd be talking about for the next week!!! ^_^ I'd rather he keep talking about the fact that after three or four weeks of playing UNO with me...he STILL hasn't won one game!! ^_^ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Okay...enough silly talk!! ^_^ But I don't have much else to talk about or show you...except for a couple of other really cute rainy day items from my co-Etsy crafters... </span><i><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></b></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hi, Y'all!! ^_^ Sorry about the blog break...again!...but I just play it by ear these days. My intention is to try to post every day, but if that doesn't happen...uhhhhh...it doesn't happen!! ^_^ I've got a lot of balls in the air (so to speak) in my private offline life right now. So, I kinda just go with the flow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> And, from now on out, I'm gonna stop apologizing for not being here...***smacking myself on the back of the hand!!***...I'm just gonna post at every opportunity. And when I'm not here I just want you guys to know that I'll be back as soon as I can! Okay?!.....OKAY!! :-)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> But I'm here today!...so...let's talk about that thick 'ugly wuglyee' cowl scarf I was making, shall we!! :-] ...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span> <br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I had a bag full of bits and pieces of yarn. Not enough to make a whole ANYTHING! And not enough to add a full row to ANYTHING (in most cases)! But I saw this multi-colored cowl pattern in one of the books a friend recently gave me as a gift.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span> <br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's the kind of pattern that doesn't need an exact amount of ANYTHING, and therefore GREAT for this 'ugly wuglyee' work of 'mitchy-matchy' crochet art! ^_^ </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Okay...so it's not the most perfect, most beautiful, most symettrical, scarf you'll ever see! But somebody will look at it and see perfection, beauty, and symmetry!! I just know it......PLEASE!!! ^_^</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> And since I couldn't remember what I showed you already, and I was too lazy to go back through my recent blog posts to find out, :-) I decided to just do a quick 'Did-I-Show-You-This'!! ^_^ Sooooo...did I show you the mint scarf and gloves set?...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> While taking a break from 'virtually-packing' for a 'virtual trip' to Nepal later this evening, I'm working on my latest project! ^_^ It's a multi-colored circular cowl scarf. I'm using the rest of that leftover yarn I have in my bag. {No!! I will NOT waste yarn!! ^_^} It may be too ugly to wear with pride, but just ugly and warm enough to wear tucked inside a coat! ^_^ Hey! Winter is gonna be here sometime soon, right?!!</span></div>

But the chilly temps, and the different look of the sky, is fighting with my sense of un-reality!! I just keep reminding myself, like the words to George Benson's song, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqtHo0pU-1M"><i><b>Everything Must Change</b></i></a>.***another hummingbird tear just fell.*** ^_^</span></div>

O_O I almost forgot about that!! YIKES!! O_O The cheesecakes are for a cheesecake exchange that's happening this weekend!! My friend wants me to make her one of my cheesecakes, and she's making me one of hers! :-) It's too bad we don't have 'taste-O-blog', so I could share them with you!! ^_^ My sister may get a piece now though!! ^_^</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Woohoo!!...There
were two things on my mind on my 'yawn-fest' of a blog post yesterday.
One thing was that my husband was taking a special driving test, in
order to get a license to drive a special kind of bus or van. He
'crammed' for it all weekend! And today...HE PASSED IT!! :-) Again I
say: Woohoo!! ^_^</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
I'm so excited for him!...although it's gonna mean that he's not
here at home with me as much as before. :-( Hey!...Somebody's gotta work
around here!! I need to be kept in the ice cream, grits, and potatoes that I've
become accustomed to!!Ha! Ha!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">
I've also become accustomed to crocheting my brains out! So, I guess
yarn would also be on the list of things we might be able to afford
soon! :-) Although, I'm not doing so badly finding projects to make, using the yarn I still have around here! ^_^ Case in point, remember the 100% cotton red tote bag I was trying to decide whether to attach a ribbon or a flower to?...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hubby took a few photos of them out in the backyard yesterday...after the rainy skies cleared....I love the photos!...even though they're LOADED with contradiction!! I mean, there's no snow on the ground, but Tina is mittened to the max (not to mention that they almost look like oven mitts too!! ^_^ WHATEVER!!!!), and she's scarfed up to her headless neck! :-))</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> It's also not lost on me that wearing a light-weight stringed dress along with mittens and a thick scarf is just fraught with contradiction!! ^_^ The kind of contradiction that makes you wanna scrap the photos, put Tina in a winter Parka, twist off her mitted hands, and start all over again! ^_^ </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> But...Hey!!...I'm Poetesswug, crazy-girl crocheter, poet, lover of country music and Motown, and wife to a loving non-professional photographer who took loads of these photos just so that I could find three that would work for me. I'm NOT beyond contradiction!! ^_^</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm calling it the 'Corded Sweater Scarf'. :-) The name is because of the sweater cuff on the ends of the scarf, and the cord pattern on the edges of each side of it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When I asked my husband what he thought of it, he said: "What is it?!...A sleeve?"...*Blink, Blink*...Ha! Ha! Ha!...I never even noticed that it looked like a sleeve until he said that!! ^_^ ...WHATEVER!!!! LOL</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So what if my creative side runs toward ugly...yucky...mint green...and sleeves!! ^_^ Somebody is gonna love it!!...PLEASE!!!! LOL</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Why does Serena Williams have on a completely different color outfit at the U.S. Open today?!...Did her other outfits float away in all of that rain New York got yesterday?! ^_^ Don't get me wrong though! I like orange and pink and yellow worn all together!! O_O And where would be better to wear it than in New York?! :-)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Did the hummingbirds get a memo that I didn't get?...that Fall (Autumn) isn't coming this year, or something?! O_O I mean...it's already into the second week of September!! But they're just flying back and forth, dancing and sipping away!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Along the same lines though, the bumblebees are all over the place right now too! O_O They're even pollinating my forsythia like crazy! The forsythia that was beaten down to the ground by the rain...that came back upright a bit yesterday...and that was beaten down again last night! Ugh! Thanks to the rain and the bees, I have a beautiful ground cover of yellow forsythia! ^_^</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> YAY!!! Hubby may finally have a new job!! ^_^ Of course, due to the job physical, the manual he has to download, read, and pass the test with, and all the other stuff related to starting a new job (stress, scheduling, etc), his mind is gonna be even more frayed than mine for a few days!...And that's saying something!! LOL</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I really...Really...REALLY!...need to pluck my eyebrows!! ^_^ I'm slowly approaching uni-brow, fat-caterpillar status!! LOL It's a good thing I have a good friend with a steady plucking hand, and anti-laughability!! ^_^ And the anti-laughability thing is important!! I mean...who wants a friend coming at them with a sharp object, but with the inability to control a belly laugh that's rising up from their toes?!!! ^_^ NOT ME!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Does anybody wanna sponsor a crochet party at their house, where I supply all of the product, and you take away 30% of whatever is sold?!...Huh?!...HUH?! ^_^ I need somebody to do the 'grunt' work for me and just let me CROCHET!!! :-)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Lastly, today...hubby and I aren't going out of the country for our 'Virtual Date' tonight. Due to him having to 'cram' for his job test on Monday, we're gonna be keeping it close to home....But maybe some ice cream, cookies, and covering over of all mirrors that might make me have to look at my <b><i>humongous</i></b> uni-brow, is in order though! LOL To my credit, my husband is completely aware of crochet sweater scarf sleeves, but completely oblivious to his wife's caterpillar uni-brow!! ^_^ That's why we've lasted for 33 years!! :-) {All happily married flabby hairy people, UNITE!! LOL}</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The forsythia was growing wild and tall, with bumblebees galore all over them!! And the sun was shining beautifully!...Cut to this morning when we opened the blinds....*gulp!*..."What happened to the forsythia?!!!" O_O ...The rain had beat it down to the ground!! The only thing I could see in my window was the hanging hummingbird feeder, and lots and lots of backyard lawn!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> As the day has worn on, the forsythia has slowly crept back up...Well, most of it has!...I would show you a picture, but it's so dark outside that I can't get a decent shot! Grrr! By tomorrow it'll probably be back to it's wild and tall self, and you'll wonder what I was talking about! ^_^</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> I don't have much time to talk right now anyway. I have to get me a nap before my meeting tonight!! You know...old people gotta sleep!! ^_^ But, before I go, let me show you one of the finished mint green mittens! :-) ...</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Do you have sisters?!...If so, how do you get along with them?...The reason I'm asking is because I was impressed by the display of sister-love between Serena and Venus Williams last night (Tuesday night) after their tennis match. ♥ </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> They really went at each other on the court!! I mean, extremely powerful serves, forehands, backhands, slices and lobs were flying!! ^_^ Serena won the first set. Venus won the second set. And the third set was ultimately won by the better player...Serena. {Sorry. I forgot to say: SPOILER ALERT! ^_^}</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> But as great as the tennis was to watch </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">between them, the display of their obvious love for one another, which was shown as they met at the net after the match was over, was even better! Especially since the biggest smile and hug came from the one who lost!! (Venus) ^_^ She squeezed and hugged her little sister and mouthed the words: 'I'm so proud of you!'</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Is this the way sisters, who have been lifetime competitors and each other's best friends, suppose to act?!...The truth is, who knows!! They're a rare breed, siblings in professional competition with each other. {The only other siblings I can think of, with the same level of success, are the football quarterbacks, Payton and Eli Manning.} </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> I would like to think that this 'is' the way sisters are suppose to act!! :-) Love for your sister shouldn't be altered by your profession or money. Love should just be LOVE, right?!! ♥ ... Unfortunately, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm embarrassed to say</span> that the one time I had to play against my younger sister {we played basketball for rival High School teams} was not all about love!... ***holding my head down low*** I was the older sister and I just wanted to beat her!!!! And I did!! ^_^ I've grown up a lot since then...thankfully!!! :-)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> I don't even wanna think about how difficult the situation would've been if me and my sister had news press in our faces with prying questions and microphones!! O_O ***shaking my whole body*** Nah! Let's not think about that!!! LOL Let's just share a song for the girls!! ^_^</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Actually, I didn't start this project with the intention of making a pair of mint green mittens! All I wanted to do was work a mitten pattern up to a certain point, so that I could check out whether it worked well for my girlfriend whose trying to make a pair of mittens for her son. (Her gauge kept coming out too big and she wanted to know if it was possible to work the pattern with less stitches...As it turns out, the answer for this pattern is NO! Not with the yarn and hook she's using anyway.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hi, Y'all! :-) I don't have a lot of time to talk tonight, so I'm just gonna show you the last project from my bag of ugly 'yucky' yarn. :-) You can see the beginnings of it in the header photo. It's a striped hat. I'm adding some white yarn with the blue and making a hat with the inspiration markings of Dr. Seuss's 'cat-in-the-hat'. ^_^ Or, at least, that's the first thing I thought of when I got it going. :-))</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's been a great weekend so far. Tennis...food...tennis...crochet....tennis!! ^_^ What's not to love!! In fact, I just got through watching a great match between Kevin Anderson and Andy Murray.

But don't assume you know!! ^_^</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> Tomorrow evening the Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, are playing each other in the semi-finals!!!!

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I do still have some of the blue, and some thinner white yarn, to work on. I'm gonna be making a smaller hat for one of my girlfriend's daughters. Then......DONE with the 'ugly'!! ^_^ And as happy as I am to be finishing this bag of 'ugly' yarn, I'm getting a very satisfied feeling from the fact that it's not yarn that's being wasted, or put in a bag in the back of a closet somewhere! It has become two crochet hats, a monster brooch, a scarf, and a capelet. YES!!! Capelet!! That's what it's called!! ^_^</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> You know how I found out that it was called a 'capelet'?!...I went onto Etsy's site to try to see if I could find others to share with you. :-) I searched 'crochet shoulder shawls' and saw some beautiful 'thingees'.....which they were calling capelets!! ^_^ Then I searched capelets and found a lot more of them that looked sorta like mine!! ^_^ Wanna see some of the work of these talented Etsians?!...Here you go!...</span><br />

You haven't wasted time!<br /><br />Lots of things have all been done.<br />But many things that you could do.<br />But nothing 'Pings': "Let's do this next!!"<br />The lull just gets the best of you.<br /><br />Right now I'll try to ride the wave.<br />No expectation. Just relax.<br />Keep flipping books for inspiration.<br />Enjoying colors, brights and blacks.<br /><br />Soon I know I'll be off again,<br />deeply engrossed in some new thing.<br />I'll get such satisfaction from it.<br />And that familiar little...'Ping!' </span></div>
