I'm Starting To Feel Like A Pre-Cooked Lobster!!

 (Plush Crochet Blue Amigurumi Lobster Pattern by VliegendeHollander)

      "Okay...what's up with the lobster, Wug?"...I know that's what you're thinking, right?! ^_^ Well, I'll tell you! ^_^ One...because it's so cute!...Two...because that's how I'm feeling this morning after waking up late.....or was it early?!....No. It was late!! LOL

       I feel like I'm just about to be in hot water...You know, like a lobster, just before dinner time! ^_^ I took one of my little 'naps' last night around 7 p.m., and woke up around 10 p.m.! O_O Yeah! That was 'some' nap!!

      Then I couldn't get back to sleep! So hubby and I watched some of the country music awards show, and made some crochet beaded keychains...

     Well, actually, hubby made them to give as free gifts to my customers....I was crocheting a couple of new lapel pins for my Wuglyees Etsy shop...

     I sold over 10 items this weekend!! Now I've got a list 'YAY' long of boutonnieres and lapel pins I have to replace!!...Speaking of which...and I hope my customer doesn't mind me telling you this...I got a 'convo' (Etsy email) from a customer who ordered a lot of boutonnieres...A LOT!! His convo made me smile. :-)

     He said that he was a dapper dude, and that on his daily commute, he sees a few other dapper dudes. Secretly, he says, they all compete with each-other (nods, smiles, head-shakes, approvals, etc.), but that usually he gets the most positive nods...because he wears the best pocket squares and scarves!
        But then he says 'All of a sudden, my biggest competitor shows up with these crochet boutonnieres and lapel pins!' He was like, "Oh no!" ^_^ He says they looked great! Now his biggest 'competitor' is the one that's been receiving the most nods since then!... Then he said: "So I can't wait for my beautiful boutonnieres to arrive." ^_^

      Now you know why I'm feeling like the boiling temperature has been turned up, right?! ^_^ ... Whew! Is it getting hot in here?! O_O

      Anyway! Back to what I was saying! LOL...I worked on my lapel pins, and then hubby and I went to bed...around 2:45 a.m.!!!...We just weren't sleepy!

       The next thing I knew it was 8 a.m.!! I had to...in no particular order...take my pill, take a bath, write my blog, crochet some boutonnieres, do my Bible reading and studying, have some breakfast, comb my hair,...*No! I'm not gonna go into the hair thing. I did that yesterday! LOL*...etc....and etc....and etc!!!!....BOILING!!!!

        So now that I've written that whole dictionary of words... ^_^ ...I can scratch one thing off of the list! ^_^

         Now I'm gonna go and jump in the pot!! Hopefully the list will be a distant memory by nightfall! ^_^

        Have a good rest of this Monday, Everybody! :-)

I Think I Need To...

I think I need to change things up,
flip the script, change direction;
I don't want to lose my love
for that which I have so much affection?

I think I need some brand new eyes,
to see things a different way.
Because the way that I've been seing
really isn't gonna pay.

I think, because it's me, I need
some creative inspiration.
Some sketches, markers, ball point pens,
and some Disney animation.

I think that this may take some time.
It seems a lot for me to do.
So, maybe I should change my mind.
I'll let you know and get back to you!
