I Haven't Shared For A Few Days...So Here Goes!!

 (Eco-Friendly Black Ceramic Birch Trees Coffee Mug by yevgenia)

     It's been a few days since I shared anything from the shops on Etsy. I've been too busy crocheting my fool head off! ^_^ But now that my wedding bridal shawl is all done...YES IT IS!!...I can go back to my regular habits, which include talking my head off!! LOL

      Well...talking my head off AND sharing the creative wares of fellow Etsy shop owners! :-) Sharing is at the top of my list of things I have fun doing! ^_^ And that list keeps getting longer and longer the older I get!! ^_^

      Among the other things I love to do is sipping on my green tea...which would no doubt taste even better in a birch tree coffee mug! ^_^ ... And eating good stuff!! :-) ...

     No!...I don't eat donut soap!! :-)) But I 'do' love the creativity it took to make it look so real...and eatable!! :-)

     I also love sleeping....ummmmmm!...Although I don't think I'd rest my head on these pretty pillows!...

 (Aqua and pink Decorative Cotton Pillow by Pompalehs)

      They would be to pretty!! ^_^ But they'd make great decorative conversation pieces!!

      I also love planning! So a cute calendar like this one...

 (2014 Calendar Ice Cream Cone Tea Towel by jenniferlesleydesign)

     ...would be great for planning!...'virtual Friday dates, crochet projects, old movie times, dinnertime, etc!! :-)) And it would be a great reminder to never forget to get ice cream too!! :-)

     One of the other things I love is color!!...

 (Custom Turquoise and Gold Leather Cord by ahna6)

     ...And these colors are on my 'YES!' list! ^_^ I can almost see a shawl in these colors already! Can't you?!! :-)

     Speaking of shawls...as I said earlier, I finished my wedding bridal shawl that I was working on. :-) But since I haven't had an opportunity to photograph it yet, I thought I'd just share a fellow Etsian's beautiful wedding shawl!! :-) ...

      Isn't it beautiful?!! :-) 

      In more personal news, the bad storms we had over the weekend, into Monday, produced hail, thunder and lightening, and even a tornado that touched down right outside of Boston!! O_O We only got the thunder and lightening and pouring rain here in Holyoke, but the surrounding towns had quite a scare it seems! We're still trying to get in touch with a family member that lives in the area where the tornado touched down! O_O But I'm sure she must be fine. I would just like to be sure!

      Otherwise, all is about the same...tons of things to worry about if I had a mind to, but I choose to pray and let the worrying be done by those who want to!! ^_^ And crochet! :-)) Crocheting always give me something smile-worthy to put my mind on! :-)

    Oh yeah!...This August hubby and I are considering some special activity with our congregation. We still have our situation and circumstances in prayer to see if we'll be able to reach out and help some other people a bit more. So far it's looking good! :-) I could sure use some Bible students though, to help me make the time!...And yes! That was an invitation!! ^_^

      Okay...off to look at the rest of the show I'm watching..."The Waltons"...and then look for some red thread to start another shawl!! ^_^ Or pink...or mint green...or rose...or gray...or....etc! LOL Have a good rest of the day, Everybody!! ♥

I'm Loving It Right Now!

The 'Hunt for red October'?
No! My hunt's for hummingbirds.
I'm loving them right now,
So much, I hardly find the words!

Speaking of 'the words',
I'm also loving Poetry,
and I'm loving pretty journals
and my feelings all set free.

Speaking of 'set free',
I'm free of fondness now toward rain;
Yet I do love how the rain has focused
my creative brain.

Speaking of my brain,
With all this rain, I just say WOW!
'cause It's keeping me together,
and I'm loving that right now!
