A Day Going Downhill...And Beaded Artsy Hat...#3!!

 (Artsy Crochet Tube Hat, Beaded Mesh Silver and Black Applique by wuglyees)

      I'm having so much fun with my artsy hats!! Or should I say...thanks to Yaya, of Whispering Pines blog!...my artsy 'chic' hats! ^_^ You should see me when I'm going through my colors and matching the right applique to the right color! Talk about toe-curling fun!!! LOL

      Choosing the grey heather yarn for this silver, black, and tulle applique was a 'no-brainer' though. It practically picked itself! ^_^

      There is so much bead work on the applique too!!!...

      I just have to find the right person to buy it!! ^_^ Is that YOU?!! If so, just click HERE and go ahead and get it!! :-)
 

     
      On a completely different note, have you ever had one of those days that started out great and then quickly took a left turn...or was more like a roller coaster?!...That's what happened to me today! O_O My morning started out with pancakes, scrambled eggs, and bacon...
 

      What could possibly be wrong with that, you ask?!....Absoluely NOTHING!! ^_^ ...
 

      That was the start of my great day!!! And it was delicious!!!...to the third degree!!! ^_^ ***I almost said to the 4th or 5th degree, but it sounded like I was trying to quote the law, or sing a song by the 5th dimension!! LOL*** And with my half glass of orange juice and hot cup of green tea to wash it all down, my day started off just great!! :-)
      Then hubby and I got into one of our conversations, and...without telling you what it was about...let me just say that the mood of my day started to go downhill! O_O ... But then we had our meeting at the Kingdom Hall, and the day's mood went back up!! :-)
      After the meeting I went back to work on my latest artsy hat...
 

      Then I realized that I didn't have enough yarn to finish it, and the store was closed where I get the yarn!!...Aargh!!!...STOPPAGE!...I hate stoppage!!! LOL....Roller coaster...downhill!! LOL...So, I was left to mentally play around with how I was gonna apply my new applique to the hat, once I got some more yarn and was able to finish the hat!...Did I already say: Aargh!!???....I did?!...Okay, good! :-))

      My dilemma is about whether to have the dangling bead tendrils hang off the edge of the hat or not.....I'm still debating....Suggestions are welcome! ^_^

      By the way, there is no argument about the center flower. ^_^ It can go anywhere and be adorable!!! :-) ...
 

      And I love that center metal flower!!! :-) ...
 

      Then...my day started to go back uphill when I started to watch the football game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers! :-) I like both of the teams, but my long-time team is the Cowboys!! :-) ...But when my team lost!!..... :-( ...Downhill again!!....AND, wouldn't you know it, this was also about the time the conversation hubby and I started earlier came back up again!!!!! Aargh!!!!

      Thankfully there is always tomorrow! :-) ... Maybe by the time the sun has risen, and the temperatures outside have gone up, ***because it's been DOG cold!!...old southern expression. LOL***and my first morning green tea with honey and lemon has been sipped, and my morning scripture text has been mentally digested, this day will be a distant memory!!!...And we can try again...then...for a good day! ^_^ Although...O_O... it'll be Monday! Typically Mondays don't go so well!! LOL
      That's alright!! I have to have something smile-worthy to end this post with. And thinking about tomorrow going better than today is making me smile right now...So I'll take it!!! ^_^ Have a good rest of the night, Everybody!! ♥

Fishing-Life

This world is like a pond in which
you can't help but get wet.
We are like the fish snatched up
into the fisher's net.

The pond-it represents all of
our jobs and bills and debt,
that we swim in every day,
chasing the bait that's hard to get.

The world throws out a line
that we follow to the top;
Then we're pulled away from safety,
and on land we flip and flop.

Even if we get away,
we're now wounded, dry and tired,
`cause we've jumped out of the frying pan,
and now we're in the fire!

A Rough Night...But A Pretty Hat!

 (Crochet Artsy Tube Hat, Beaded Burgundy and Beige Applique Flower by wuglyees)

      I had a rough night last night, so I'm not gonna be doing a lot of chit-chatting today. I just wanted to stop by and show you the photos hubby took for me of the first 'artsy' hat I finished. :-) 

      It's basically my tube hat, but with an applique. But the work involved to get the applique on there was a lot more involved than that! ^_^ Don't you love it when 'pretty' looks simple?! :-)
 

      I love the movable bead dangles in the middle of the flower. :-) Art and movement. Does it get any better than that when you're acting all creative?! :-)
 

      As to my restless night...UGH!!! I ate something from a 'take-out' place last night and ended up...***forgive me. There's no 'nice' way to say this!***...throwing up over and over again all night! O_O It was NOT pretty!!
      And I spent the whole of this morning napping and sipping tea and soup, to try to stop my growly restless stomach from trying to 'throw caution to the wind' again!!! UGH! That's what I get for trying to spend money making somebody fix something for me that I could fix for myself!!! ^_^ Lesson learned!
      Okay...back to my crocheting. I've got another 'artsy' hat almost done! :-) Have a good rest of the day, Everybody! ♥

Dress And Feel Better

When I'm feeling bad,
and about to drop some tears,
I make myself feel better
putting pearls upon my ears.

When my hair just won't act right,
and I'm feeling kinda fat,
I put some perfume on my wrist,
and wear a fancy, frilly hat.

There's nothing better than some frill,
and high heels from off the shelf
to make you stand a little straighter,
and feel good about yourself.

Wear some bold and brighter colors;
wear some jewelry everywhere,
Then you'll look so good to others
that you'll feel like what you wear!

Change your mood-and sport some flare!
'Strut your stuff', and go somewhere!
