Okay....back to business today!! I've been away from any serious crocheting for far too long! I've just been lazing around, listening to sad songs. {No, nothing's wrong!! Just therapy for the mind. I'm a woman!! LOL Come on! Don't any of you like listening to sad songs when you're happy?!......What?!.....It's just me?!.....NAH!!!! ^_^}
(ewitsoe)
...Besides, sometimes it's not really sad. It's more like slow! And no one would think listening to the music from the washing machine was sad anyway!! LOL....It's a very cheery little ditty! {I was gonna try to share with you the song it sings because hubby videoed the ending cycle of a wash and got footage of the washer 'singing'. But for some reason we can't upload it to Youtube...But believe me...I really don't need a Psychiatrist!...It 'does' sing!! ^_^}....
I've also been enjoying the air conditioner....heat waves are NOT fun!
I've also been going on weekend 'virtual' excursions to France! ^_^
And unlike heat waves, Friday night 'Date Nights' ARE fun!! :-))
But it's time to pull the needles back out...
...and get down to some 'serious' crocheting!!...Now, when I say 'serious' I mean back to my usual focus on crocheting something every day. I don't mean pick up a crochet hook....because I have been crocheting. {As you know, I finished two hats...
....with buttons sewn on even!!...All I have to do is make some time to list them in my Wuglyees shop.}
But I've got some things that have sold in the shop, and people have been asking me about when I was going to replace them....and I need to get back at it!!...Starting today with another black and white scarf!
I'm even considering doing this pattern in other colors! I've certainly got enough yarn around here!!! :-)
As a side note, I think I'm gonna buy some of these needle threaders too....
TJBdesigns has them in all kinds of colors and shapes!
I think these will work great for threading the buttons onto my crochet projects. Some of my buttons have small holes in back. Trying to put yarn through them is no picnic! I just saw these threaders the other day and thought this might be a good solution. (The little flimsy wire ones I've used in the past, the ones that come in sewing kits, aren't strong enough. I've gone through tons of those things!)
As another side note, I just wanted to let you know that if you're into ribbons and tassels, head on over to Bee Happy's blog...HERE... She won a large pack of stuff and she's sharing it by way of a Giveaway!
The Giveaway closes Saturday August 13th. Other details are on her blog.
No....Crocheting is still not gonna be the ONLY thing I'm doing. I've still got lots of reading and studying and other things on my plate. {Including listening to some more sad songs to make me happy...^_^...and, as of today, a little bit of Jane Asten! :-)} But, my regular schedule will now be back to including some kind of daily crocheting......Maybe then I'll stop dreaming about things like this!....
Okay....I'm off to rustle up some breakfast....No, not lamb chops either! LOL...and then pull out my crocheting!...Have a good day everybody!!! :-)
A Sad Song When I'm Happy
Boys don't understand this,
and some girls are puzzled too,
as to why when we are happy
we just love a good 'Boo Hoo'!
"A sad song when you're happy?
Come on girls! What's that about?!"
"What? Outright just explain it,
and let all our secrets out?!"
The truth is we don't know!
It just gives us a big release.
We hum or sing sad tunes,
and breathe a sigh of welcome peace.
Okay...we're kind of strange!
That's nothing new to you, we're sure.
With T.V time alone,
and lots of sports, you will endure.
A sad song when we're happy?
"Yes, we need it!" Girls assert!
Of course a good old movie,
and some chocolate doesn't hurt!
