I Felt like Dancing In The Rain Today...Wonder Why?!

Yep! It's that time again!!!....It's Giveaway Day! And it's Kind of a good day to be put in a good mood by giving something away too. It's dark and rainy out. :-(
On a good note though, I also woke up with Gordon Lightfoot's song "Rainy Day People" playing in the play-list of my mind. Appropriate! ^_^ I was gonna share it with you, but Youtube didn't have a video of it....SHOCKING! LOL Youtube ALWAYS has a video of every song that pops up in my head! But not this time.
I had to go to my play-list on Grooveshark.com to listen to it sang by Gordon himself before I could get it to stop playing over and over in my head!! *shaking my head* My brain! My brain!! LOL
It took some work, but I replaced that song in my head with another one. I posted that one below. {It WAS on Youtube! :-)}
Okay, two more things: The Yoyo bag now has the beginnings of a top! It took a while for me to get the right amount of stitches around. It wasn't the directions. The directions were perfect. My brain, however,...was not! LOL It didn't feel like counting stitches yesterday. It was suppose to have 150 stitches around. I kept ending up with 138.....144...etc. But finally....150! YAY!!!
I did 8 simple single crochet rows and then had to do the row where you make the drawstring loops...
It counted out perfectly!! :-) And it looks pretty good too!...Today I should finish it, except for the lining.....the lining.....THE LINING!!! UGH! I'm not looking forward to that! I'm already getting flashbacks from High School Home Economic's class! *cold shiver*
ANYWAY!!!.....Time to name the Giveaway winner!...As usual, all of those who entered were put in my trusty Giveaway box, and hubby reached in to pull up the name...Hmmmm....his hand's not ashey this morning! LOL (He lotioned it up this time. It's starting to be a concern for his "ham" of a hand! LOL)
And the winner is....
...delia hornbook!!! Congratulations Dee! :-) Just email me your address and it'll be off to you as soon as possible!! Maybe today!
Now that that Giveaway is over...on to the next! I'll put the details up on the Giveaway page. Check the right-hand side bar. Click on the picture. All of the particulars will be there!...But I had Baby Wuglyee show you a glimpse of what it is! :-)
If you have a baby, or know someone with one, or could use a cool baby gift, you'll like this one! {I made it on a day when I was bored...It might've been a rainy day like today! :-)}
Okay, I'm off to have breakfast with my honey, do some reading, work on my Yoyo bag, enjoy my meeting about 'trust', and maybe dance! :-) It's gonna be a good day I think. :-) I hope you have a good day today too. And..."I Hope You Dance" (by Lee Ann Womack)...


Dance

Life is a dance, they always say.
It has a rhythm and a rhyme,
It makes you set a pace, while it
flows in the stream of time.

And dancing has expressions
that I think are kinda neat,
like dancing eyes and dance of joy,
happy dance and dancing feet.

Whatever dance you do today,
I hope life pleases you.
It really doesn't matter how.
Just dance! I hope you do!

  12. Art and Sew Forth, *Teehee*...I thought that having 'Baby Wuglyee' bear's head in there would give everybody an idea of how the blanket looked...although he does not come with the blanket!! :-)) ... And yes...rain. DO NOT even hint at the other "S" stuff!! *cold shiver again!* ^_^
