Three things...One, I think my body clock is changing again. I can't seem to keep my eyes open long after the sun goes down. Case in point...it's almost 4 a.m. right now, and instead of being off in dreamland somewhere singing and writing sonnets for the new version of 'Pride and Prejudice'...a girl can dream! :-)) ...I'm up writing a blog post!
And actually, I've been up since about 1:30 a.m.! O_O I fell asleep around the same time the NBA playoff game was getting started, around 7:30 p.m. or so...Me and hubby...after a wildly funny conversation about what we would nickname our children ^_^...were gonna watch it together, have some popcorn and tea, and THEN go to bed!...I didn't make it to the tea.:-)) I barely made it to the tip off of the basketball game! LOL...{Some of that was due to the 'talking head' commentators that kept going on and on though...just saying! ^_^}
The second thing...What am I gonna get hubby for an anniversary gift this year?! O_O After all, what could he possibly want that would be as great as....ME?!! LOL...Stop Laughing!!!...After him saying that if we had a child he'd nickname him "Wobbly Wibbly" maybe I shouldn't get him anything!! ^_^ {I'll tell you why he said that in a minute..I have to stop laughing so I can finish typing first. LOL}
The third thing has to do with the new venture I'm mentally chewing on...making flower rings. This beauty from SpotLightJewelry (above) is great inspiration, don't you think?! :-) Of course, my rings would be crocheted flower rings.
I was thinking about it a long time ago, but I kept mentally coming back to: "How would I ever know exactly what size to make them. People's fingers are all sizes."....and "If I bought an adjustable band to start with, how would I put my flower on them without glue?!"...I really don't wanna put glue on my crochet items!"
To their credit, I found some creative and wonderful Etsians that clearly have figured this out!...
(Irish Rose Ring by sewella)
I'm especially partial to this large Sunflower Crochet Ring (below) by joyfulgabby!...
I like things BIG! :-) ...and I like the way she attached it to the ring base...
And even though this Stylish Cocktail Ring (below) by GlamCro is silver wire-crocheted, I'm inspired by it too!...
The only thing left for me to do was order some adjustable base rings...
SunAndMoonCraftKits to the rescue! ^_^ I bought these this morning...Now I just have to figure out which of my crochet flower "babies" are gonna occupy the spotlight on my new rings. :-) Any suggestions?!
Now....why did my hubby wanna nickname our first child...which we haven't had...and which I'm now wondering if I wanna have with him!..."Wobbly Wibbly"?!!...He said it was because with his big head, and my big behind, this kid wasn't gonna be able to walk a straight line standing up!! LOL
He was pretending he was gonna discipline him. He yelled: "Come here 'Wobbly Wibbly'! And watch out for the wall!' ^_^ Then he got completely 'out of order' and said: "You know the neighborhood kids are gonna say 'There goes that Wug kid....Zig Zag.'....O_O He said the neighborhood kids are gonna nickname our kid "Zig Zag"!!!!! LOL...Nope! He doesn't deserve a 30th anniversary gift!...He deserves a whooping!!! LOL
Have a good day, Everybody! :-)
