     First things first this morning, I need to tell you who won the scarves...if they want the scarves, I mean. LOL I'm not getting a good read on my giveaways anymore. That's why I stopped having them so frequently...But this time I thought that because it had been a while since I had a giveaway I'd get all kinds of entries! I was even ready to part with two...not one...two scarves!
       In the rules for the giveaway I said that all people had to do was leave me a comment and let me know which scarf they wanted if they won...foggy lettuce...or chocolate cream cake...But.......I only had two or three people even MENTION the scarves!...*shaking my head* LOL  
     So, I chose names from the comments that were given by the deadline......Kelly (who commented on Friday) and Grandma Yellow Hair, if you want them....the scarves are yours! ^_^ I'll have to decide who gets what though. Just contact me with a place to send them!

      Okay....moving on!...As I said on the blog yesterday, I'm all about crochet this week! I'm gonna share other people's crochet...(and knitting)...

      ...And I'm gonna share crocheting supplies, like this gorgeous thread I found!...

     I know....you're wondering "Why shells, Wug?! Shells are not crocheted!" ^_^ That's right! Shells are not crochet..Yet! But I'd like to change that...sorta, kinda. :-)

      Look at this beautiful necklace, and how it hangs so pretty. (And yes I know, it's not crochet or a shell! LOL)...

      Do you see the little hooks on top, where you hang the chain?!...Well, I was given some delicate shells a while back, with the same hooks on them...to use on my crochet necklaces! Here they are...

      I have been keeping them in a secure place, waiting for the time to unleash them on an unsuspecting public! LOL

      Now is the time!! ^_^ This week I'm going to be making some of my small...tiny, tiny...crochet flowers and adding these hanging shells to necklaces underneath them! :-) ... I'm kinda excited to see what they're gonna look like when they're finished. I've been holding on to these gift shells for so long!

        They're in all kinds of shapes...

     ...and all kinds of sizes...

        The striped one in this bottom photo (above) is one of my very favorites! The leopard one in the first two photos is too!...So, keep your eye out for the unveiling of 'crochet shell' necklaces! :-)

      Okay, I'm really late on my schedule now!!...Have a good day, Everybody!....Gotta run!! :-))

Sea...beach?!

I love to watch the water almost
as much as I like to gab.
I love to watch the zig and zag
of a house-stealing hermit crab.

I love to watch the sun go down
just as the waters reach.
I love to watch it, yes, so tell me,
why dont I like the beach?!

It may have something to do
with having sand between my toes.
Or the smell of fish and seagulls
doing strange things to my nose!

Or maybe it's the fact that there's
no backyard lawn or hedge.
That's why from home I'll ponder,
'mentally' viewing the water's edge.
