It's A Hot Chocolate Kind Of Day And An Australian Kind Of Week!

(Hot Chocolate w/ Marshmallow Topping Lip Balm by ForGoodnessGrape)

       It's four degrees Fahrenheit outside, with a wind chill factor of...UGH!...I don't even wanna talk about it!!...The weather has been wacky here. But we're not the only ones dealing with the weather! I heard on the news that even the search for survivors in the Italian cruise ship disaster was suspended because of bad weather...So sad. :-(

        I would say that it's definitely a day for some comfort, wouldn't you?!...Well, let's start with hot chocolate...

        And then let's go to some comforting, warming color....blue! Blue*Dark blue******* in the way of a new treasury that was curated by biesge...

          I was surprised to see my blue and black crochet beret hat in a treasury!...

       I thought the time for this retro looking 'baby' was gone!...Nice to see I was wrong! ^_^

       I liked these comforting blue things from this treasury too!...

        Thank you biesge, for the include into your comforting blue treasury! :-) Now my eyes are all warmed up, but outside?....It's still...

         Inside though, I also have some blue to feast my eyes on. I'm crocheting hats. No kidding...I started five of them yesterday, in all kinds of colors. I got them all started so that I wouldn't be having to count stitches while I was watching tennis this week! ^_^ I know....I'm a mess!! LOL

       Theses are two of the ones I started. Notice.....one is blue! :-)

       Turquoise blue...and heather gray...

     The heather gray one is replacing the one my sister-in-law bought. :-) Actually she bought four items from me!...The gray ribbed flower hat; the gray and multicolored specks sweater scarf that I had made with the yarn and threads crocheted together (she really loved that one! If you wanna see what she looked like in them, you can see the post on my couples blog HERE.); and the cream colored hat and scarf with the fun fur trim on them.

     I'll show you the other hats...black, white, and navy blue...as they're coming along. They're gonna be my tennis companions this week! :-) Yep! It's that time again!! The time to irritate all the non-sports lovers who read my blog! LOL...HELLO!!!!...Anybody out there?!!! ^_^ Oh well, if you're reading it or not, you know I'm gonna be talking about it!!! ^_^

     Hey! What else do I have to do?!...especially now that winter has decided that it really wants to come? I mean...I got no birds in the backyard to watch...

      And I got no more out-of-town company! :-( My sis-in-law went home yesterday......But what I do have is crochet!! 

      I finished this hat now...

       I'm gonna list it in the Wuglyees shop later today...

        Lastly,......and stop that clapping!!! LOL...I'd like to show you the photo I got from a customer wearing the scarf she bought! :-)

    She looks beautiful!!! :-) And the scarf doesn't look half bad either!....Okay, so it's not the same kind of warmth that you'd get from a cup of hot chocolate, or from a warm blue treasury, but......it's got me feeling all warm and fuzzy...so that's something! :-)

     Now....on to putting up the new Giveaway...and seeing me some TENNIS!! Did I tell you?...It's AUSTRALIAN OPEN time again!!! Woohoo!!!!!! ^_^ Have a good day everybody!! :-)

The 'Racket' Men

Playing tennis with 'Hewitt'
is more like playing with a wall;
Just when you think you've  hit a winner-
Oh No!-Look Out!- Here comes the ball!

'Roger Federer's'  shot
changes fast-and that's his key;
But for steady, angled shots,

there's no one else like 'Agassi'.

'Roddick's' serve can part your hair;
It comes so fast across the net.
He just gets stronger every year.
(Don't think we've  seen his fastest yet!)

These guys are good as good can get.
I watch intensely-set by set!
