It Sure Is A 'Ugly' Day!

    Once again this morning I'm up before the chickens. This sleeping in cat naps all the time cannot be good for me...DUH! LOL Maybe my body got the memo that snow was on the way. Yep! Tons of it is coming!!...Well, not tons, but they're saying maybe 6 inches. My bones just translated that as TONS! :-)
     Thankfully, though, not the weather, or my up and down sleeping, is affecting hubby's sleeping pattern. He can sleep anywhere...any time. He's asleep right now! And unless I holler: "FIRE!" he'll stay asleep until the cows come home. {What's with all of the farm references this morning?! ^_^}
    Anyway, hubby earned his sleep this morning by being out in that freezing cold backyard taking all of the up-dated photos of my Wuglyee Remnant Scarves for my shop. They came out so nice that I'm thinking of maybe raising my prices on them now! ^_^ Not really. But I am pleasantly surprised at how much more attractive my 'Ugly Wuglyee Babies' look! See for yourself...{and if you saw the original photos in my shop......I'm sorry. :-]}

     They came out pretty good, don't you think?!...Okay, so I'm a little biased. Whatever!
   And just so you know, while he was freezing in the backyard I was working my little fingers to the bones too! I finished one of the hats I was working on. One of the black ones.

     She didn't want anything fancy. Just a simple Pull-On hat...Actually, she wanted this hat because she saw one that I made for my girlfriend. My girlfriend had found a ball of white baby-weight yarn at her house one day, and she asked me to make her a simple pull-on hat to keep her head warm when she was out in service. {Going door-to-door preaching to the neighbors about the Bible}
    I made that little hat, and made her a little flower with the last bits of it, to wear on the side if she wanted....Well, she absolutely fell in LOVE with it! She's been talking to everybody about it. And that's how I got this custom order...My customer didn't just want one hat though. She wants three!! So, I listed the black one in the shop already...so she can check it out and make sure it's okay. And then it'll be on to another black one, and a white one too!
   And I made a flower for her hat too!

      I used a microfiber 100% Acrylic yarn for the hat and the flower. It's sooooo soft! And it'll definitely keep her warm! :-)
    Before I go, I have to thank Cindy, of CinLynnBoutique, for putting me in her beautiful treasury a couple of days ago. It's entitled PLUM DELICIOUS!...and it is!!

    It was so nice to see my Purple Chic Chenille Crochet Scarf get some love. :-)
    Okay, a poem, and then I'm off to do some more crocheting. I'll just work on some more FREE GIFT flowers for my customers until I get the 'Go Ahead' from my present customer. I mean....what else is there to do but crochet?! ^_^


Catching Up

I see life from my perspective.
And it's always a full cup.
I rarely see the glass half empty.
I don't let much interrupt.

But now I find this needs a change.
I have some catching up to do.
I have some things that need updating.
And some family bonds to glue.

Some things have lagged unmercifully.
They need some tweaking, not too much.
Just need to get back some perspective..
Get some family lines in touch.

This catching up will be wide ranging.
Out with the old, in with the new.
But when you're catching up with people,
there's still some old when you're all through.

Catching up sometimes is tiring.
Maybe that's why I've been waiting.
And, besides, when I'm all done,
there seems there's more that needs updating!
