Cold?...Clean....Doggie Smile!

 (Flower Dog Canine Wedding Corsage by CharlieHeartsDiesel)

      Once again...I'm late posting...*sigh*...sorry y'all. I have a good excuse this time though!...*Achoo*...I don't feel well...I woke up with a headache, sore throat, and sneezing and wheezing all over the place!

      Actually it started yesterday...I was all stuffy before I went to bed. It made wearing my C-Pap machine 'interesting'!...I was getting tired just with all of the trying to 'breathe' and everything. :-] I didn't have a fever or anything though, so I assumed that it was probably my allergies acting up again...They're ALWAYS acting up!...And I did calm down after a while, with my 'Darth Vader' in-and-out. LOL..."Luke, I am your father...but I am not your respiratory system!" ^_^

     When I woke up this morning and was feeling worse than when I went to bed...but still had no fever...I figured I'd better get rid of all of the allergy possibilities in the room before I start 'feeding a cold and starving a fever.' ... Uhhhhh... no starving gonna take place here! LOL

       What happened was...my girlfriend came over early this morning and helped me do a Spring cleaning...so to speak! Moving furniture, washing my marbles and shells in my little containers, dusting the fan, shaking out Shaquita's wig (My head model), and even dusting pictures on the wall!

      Long story short...I'm breathing better, but not perfectly...yet. The sore throat seems to be gone though!.."Honey, can I have some hot chicken soup?...*cough! cough!*...Now I just need a cheeseburger...for nourishment!! LOL

      I also needed something to make me smile!....Enter...doggies! :-) Doggies wearing flowers and bow ties!!...

      Did that make you smile too?! ^_^ If not...your heart must be made of stone. STONE, I tell you!! ^_^ ... Moving On!!

        YAY!!! Only one little patch of snow left in the backyard!!!! :-] ...

     I'm not sure exactly where it all went, but it worries me that a large 'sink hole' opened up here in town this morning...O_O...near the drug store!!...Is all the water causing the ground to soften and fall into the center of the earth?!!! Aarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! O_O

     Okay, that's just me fooling around...but I am making hubby stay away from that part of town today! ^_^ 

       Last, but not least...I mean I am 'sick'...sorta kinda! :-]...I wanted to share a couple of cute items that might also make you smile!...

About A Dog

This is a tale.
No, not a 'tail'.
A story of a puppy dog.

Oh Yes, it wagged.
I mean his tail...
every time he saw a frog.

My story's long.
No, not his 'tail'.
Although its wagging wouldn't end.

I'll tell it to you...
Yes, my 'tale',
about my wet-nosed wagging friend.

But not today.
The End.

Sleep....And A Story About Some Dogs....

(Sleeping Mask Sewing Pattern by Salmepatterns)

        Are you looking at the pretty flowery mask in my header photo?...Isn't it pretty?!...Oh, if sleeping could be so easy! ^_^ ... I'm not gonna get too much into it, but Yeah! I'm still not sleeping well!

      All of a sudden my body clock has decided it wants to be up with the owls! Grrrr!...I'm working on different things to do to fix it. Please be patient with my constant conversation about it, but......that's whats going on with me! :-]

     To the credit of 'sleeplessness', I have lots more time to think about useless, unimportant, "mentally exercising" stuff these days! LOL...like, for instance, I miss not having a dog....If I had a dog I would've had some company when I was up in the middle of the night "not" sleeping! ^_^ Dogs are the best for companionship like that, aren't they?!

      My family had many doggies while I was growing up. I've spent many a night, in my childhood, dancing with and singing in a hair brush to the dog...cuddling up and reading to the dog...crying on the dog's fur...and eating! The eating was the best part. :-)

      I thought about all of this when I saw these Ceramic Stoneware Custom Name Pet Dish or bowls in my Etsy roamings last night...

        They're from a shop called MissPottery...

       They're so cute! ...They reminded me of my dogs,... :-/...but in reality they can be dog or cat bowls...or some other pet bowl too I guess. I'm sure they're not discriminating about guinea pigs, birds, earthworms....whatever your pet preference is! LOL

        While I was still thinking about whether I was gonna get any sleep or not, the name of this etsy shop caught my eye...MyHouseOfDreams. :-) ... And it's not just a name, this shop. Look what I found in there!...

       It's a treasury box with flowers, butterflies and a bird on the outside....and a bicycle on the inside. Click on the photo and pop on over and see it!...It's so 'dreamy'! :-) 

      The last thing I saw were these Handmade Sewing Machine Stamped Gift Tags from MaybeSparrowDesigns...

       I love that they have the little hole right in them, so you tie your ribbon or string on them...I'm all about handmade you know! ^_^

       As a matter of fact, I sold my 'handmade' multicolored men's boutonniere yesterday...

       ...and then the customer who bought it had a request for another one. He wanted to know if I could make him a carrot orange one...:-) ...HELLO!...ME? A challenge to crochet something special?!!...YES I CAN!!!...I aim to please! :-)

        Here's what I made...

      I know it looks big, but it's only one and a half inches (3.8 cm)...He saw it....he likes it....it'll be his later today! :-) ... NEXT!!!! LOL

       I'm determined to get my body clock back to normal....whatever 'normal' is. In the meantime I'm embracing my love of 'The Nap'! ^_^ In fact, I may get me one right now! :-)
