'Vintage' And 'Crochet'...In The Same Sentence!

      It's taking me a 'minute' {sarcastically said} to get myself started this morning after the long, relaxing (for the most part, that is) weekend.  But color...and crochet...can always perk me up! :-) That's why I was enthralled at the post Blooming Lovely did a couple of days ago. she pointed attention to a blog that was doing a post on the top 20 signs that you are a craft addict...I had to go look...but, of course, I already knew I wasn't!!! LOL
      Cut to me looking through tons of pattern books! ^_^ Proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am NOT a craft addict....I'm not! O_0 ......I already shared with you on Sunday the prize of old vintage patterns I found in an old Dritz magazine I have! Today I want to show you an old Jack Frost magazine/book I have!

     But first, let me just share with you the treasury that Ashley of the shop Fringe and Flourish  curated. She did it out of the etsy favorites of  Cindy, of the blog CinLynn Boutique.

       The treasury is entitled Cin's Serenity. Cindy did a post on her blog about it too...HERE. There are some really cute items in it. She included my Sunny Yellow Button Flower Necklace.

      Thank you very much Ashley...and thanks to you too Cindy!! :-) {Cindy, you're always so supportive of me and my shop and I want to thank you for that. It means a lot!...In fact, a big thank you goes out to all of you who've taken the time to look through my shop, do write-ups on me, my blog or shop, or who've actually gone a step further and said nice things after being giveaway recipients of something I've crocheted, or have been customers of my Wuglyees shop on etsy. I don't take any of it for granted...just saying. :-]}
      Okay.....on to the 'Old Stuff'!!

       This Jack Frost magazine/book has vintage patterns for handbags.

           Aren't they gorgeous?!! Oh Yeah! I can see me making some of these! In fact, some of them look like bags people would actually be carrying today! 'Everything old is new again', somebody said!.....That doesn't, however, apply to people and their decrepit old bodies! LOL Everything old, in that respect, is getting older and older all the time!! ^_^
       Moving on!.....Look at the cute things in my Gloves and Mittens magazine/book.

           Cute little gloves....especially these...

      Of course...there's flowers on 'em!...I had to look at them close at first. I thought they were thumb-less! But they're not. The thumb part is just not outlined.
     And how about these cute shoes, boots and slippers in this other book I have?!

       Crocheted boots y'all!!!!

       And shoe-type sandals!! :-) I'm telling you, they knew how to create back in the 'olden days'!! LOL Okay.....so it wasn't 'that' long ago!...Pretty cool vintage crochet, huh?! :-)
      I really have to do some crocheting today! I just have to make up my mind on 'what' to crochet!...I've been really lazy about it the last few days. I think the whole ant/hummingbird thing threw me off...especially since that's the only thing hubby wants to talk about now! LOL
     If he's not running to the window to check and see if any ants are on the feeder...which there hasn't been for a couple of days now. Hooray!!...he's running outside with the spray water bottle and knocking them off with a blast every time he sees one! LOL I wish I was aware enough to take some footage of it y'all. He has just been hilarious!!!
     The funniest was when I was on the phone talking to my dad and all of a sudden there was a blast of water shooting at the window! I look up and it's hubby, with a ant repellent spray bottle in his hand, spraying toward the bottom of the hummingbird feeder!! I panicked and started screaming to him not to put 'that stuff' on my feeder where it might hurt the hummingbirds...but he couldn't hear me!
     My dad was cracking up as I was talking loud non-stop, and waving at hubby to stop, but he was waving me off and continuing to spray because he had his eye on some ant that had the audacity to put ant feet on his hummingbird feeder!! ^_^
      He finally came into the house to see what I was yelling about, and proceeded to tell me that he only had water in the bottle. It was a recycled contraption of his!....UGH!!!! He was very pleased with himself that he had 'got that ant!!!'....My father, before we hung up, told hubby to please not kill all the birds in Massachusetts!! LOL He felt that hubby could just change careers from being a bread man to being a dead-bird-picking-up man! LOL
     The two of them......Ha!.....Mr. Funny man and Mr. Wug, the recycled spray bottle, dead bird picking up man!! ^_^
     Okay......off to find something to do. Maybe crochet!!! :-) Have a good day everybody!!!

Sense Of Humor

How do you gauge a sense of humor?
Is it just about a laugh?
Do you only know you're funny
when they're doubled over in half?

Can a chuckle or a giggle
be a clue that you have wit?
Or can a smile and a head shake
be the quiet proof of it?

It's the people that are laughing,
in their house, their yard, their car.
That can spot a sense of humor;
recognize it from afar.

I don't know myself.
I just know what makes me smile.
Anyone who likes themselves
and can be talking for a while.

And if they make me wanna sit
and wonder what will they say next,
then they have a sense of humor
cuz I wouldn't be here unless...
