'Home Is Where The Sun Is?!'

      I borrowed one of the photos from Hollie's 'weekend weather' post (and baby makes three blog) to show you why I've had my head down and crocheting like a crazy woman the last couple of days.....RAIN!....UGH! And tonight it's gonna be rain....mixed with snow!...UGH! UGH!
      Oh Well...thanks to some good friends...rain is not the only thing I've got here now! I've got a new treasury to talk about! :-) ...

       Elizabeth, of the brand new Etsy shop 'Lilly Things', curated it! It's entitled 'Home is where the sun is?'...I love that there's a question mark at the end of the title... ^_^ ...especially since Elizabeth is from my area, and Massachusetts sun is questionable these days! ^_^
      She chose my black flip up button flower crochet hat to put in it...

        When you're looking for some homey sun, a hat is exactly what you need!! ^_^ Of course....that could just be 'my' thinking!
       
          ...But for sure you could use some gift or jar tags, right?!...

 (LillyThings)

       I mean...with all of the extra time you're gonna have because of rain...or rain mixed with snow...UGH!...you can make some jam, or peach preserves, or candles,...or something...to give as gifts to people who are dry! ^_^

      But as I said, thanks to some good friends rain is not all I have here now. See! I got a really pretty thank you card!...

         

          ...with sunny flowers! :-) And it came in an unexpected package from Cindy, of CinLynnBoutique!...with a gift!!...

        

          A beautiful...BEAUTIFUL...pair of green flower earrings!!... :-)

          

          When they hit the light you can see that there are other colors dancing in them too!....Well...maybe you can't see that with my photography! LOL But it wasn't for want of trying!!!...

       So, big thanks to Elizabeth and Cindy for making my rainy days more sunny...and homey! :-)

      The other thing that has been making my rainy days bearable is...of course...crocheting! :-) I've been working my poor little aching fingers...literally...to the bones! I finished crocheting another soft blue scarf like this one...

        I made it just a tad wider though...6 inches instead of 5. I still have to photograph and list it in the shop. I'll do that as soon as the rain...and rain with mixed snow UGH!...stops taking over my photography studio....my backyard! :-)

      In the meantime, I sold my salmon circle scarf! :-) ...

       It was one of my smaller scarves. I'm on the hunt for this yarn again now. I wanna make a few more for the shop in this color...so pretty!

       But I also finished another scarf yesterday. An eight-color scarf!! :-) I didn't get to photograph the end part because the early Massachusetts darkness...UGH! Massachusetts rain, Massachusetts rain mixed with snow, and early Massachusetts darkness...UGH!!!!! ...stopped me from being able to! But this is what I did photograph....

         From end to end it's turquoise, soft blue,...

      ...a soft mint green,...

        ...and the colors you can't see that follow...a soft gold, chocolate brown, gray, white and black! :-) Hopefully I'll be able to get pictures so you can see it soon.

      Okay...that's it for the today! Now what will I do?...What will I do?! O_0 I finished all of my studying and chores for the week so that I could...without guilt...have today for a 'Girlfriend Day'...I was finally gonna watch the movie 'The Help'!!...

          ...but I had to cancel it :-( because I forgot that the lady that cleans for me was re-scheduled to come today. 

       She's been really busy with everyone wanting their houses cleaned for holiday traffic and everything, so I didn't want to give her a hard time about cleaning for me. I just re-scheduled my 'Girlfriend Day' to Friday!! :-) ..Now all I have to do is re-schedule my 'virtual' 'Date Night' trip to.......Oops! Almost let another 'cat out of the bag'! ^_^ 

    With the way my memory has been working...or NOT working...lately, I better stop flipping things around on my schedule. I'll be sitting here one day twiddling my thumbs and playing with my lips, trying to figure out what I was suppose to be doing!!! LOL But you'll give me a clue, right?!.....RIGHT?!!!! LOL

     Have a good day Everybody!! :-)

 
My Brain, My Brain

My brain just does
what it wants and when it wants!
Some days, all of it's positives
is what it flips and flaunts.

It triggers really fast,
and all my brain cells start to meet.
It stores all kinds of things,
and it runs long, without feet!

It fires happiness,
is organized, remembers well.
But then that "Bing!" will come
as if someone just hit a bell.

It slows and starts to ponder.
And what it ponders is not good!
Those days it might as well
be just a solid block of wood.

Can't remember what to do,
or if it already did;
Thoughts are scattered everywhere
and all my memories are hid.

Yes, my brain just does
what it wants and how it wants!
My job is staying with it,
and responding when it taunts.
