A Little Uneasy, Smiling Autumn Color.....and Pistachio!

       You ever wake up from a really rested night, but still feel uneasy because of something that's 'on your plate' to do...and you know that anxiety is gonna be your friend ALL DAY?!! Well, that's me today! O_O
       I have a 'Talk'...a Bible-themed presentation, sorta like a skit...tomorrow, and all of the particulars of giving it are on my mind! O_O I'm actually kinda surprised that it didn't stop me from sleeping! I guess the 'Big Nap' was not gonna be denied last night! lol...Or maybe it was just because I was in a good mood from a long-overdo sale!...Hurray! My leg warmers that I made as a custom order for someone...a custom order that they never paid for! Grrrr!...sold last night! :-)
       So I'm fighting an uneasy feeling, but there's a smile behind it...somewhere! :-) And the smile was added to...is that proper English?! Probably not, so I'll just barrel through it and pretend I didn't notice! ^_^...the smile was added to by the surprise of two new Treasuries my items were picked to be in! :-) 
       The header photo is showing an item from one of the Treasuries. It's entitled Pistachio - chio, chio, chio...
        It was curated by MadeByBride. She included the Pistachio Green and Forest Moss Crochet Scarf from my Wuglyees shop...
           It's a beautiful Treasury! 'Thank You!' for the include!! :-) ... Here's a couple of the other items in it...


     There's a whole Treasury of beautiful pistachio colored items there though. Just click on the Treasury above to go and look at the others.
        And if that wasn't enough to keep a semi-uneasy smile going, the Autumn scenes from the blog Hither and Thither of Ashley and Aron's trip to my area here in Massachusetts...the Berkshires...is! :-)
           Go by and read the whole story of their trip with baby Hudson, and see the rest of the gorgeous photos, HERE!
         Warning!!...You may want to eat a little babies toes right off...^_^...or find a fireplace and some wine afterward! ^_^
        While you're blog hopping, you might wanna check out Vicki's blog, 2 Bags Full, also! She's got some gorgeous Fall photos of a dinner her and her husband went to. A dinner that had a really looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong outdoor table!! ^_^ You can see her post HERE!
       Of course I was kinda partial to another visitor there.... :-)
       Have I ever told you about my 'thing' for horses?! I love their eyes. So expressive!
       Okay...back to what I was talking about. (That 'wandering mind' thing is happening a lot more with me these days! I'll be talking away and then someone will........Oooo! A bird! LOL)
         Moving on....before something else takes my attention! ^_^ ...This is the other Treasury I found myself in by accident!...
         This one was curated by BandaloopGardens. It's entitled Autumn Leaf Colored Treasures - My Favorite time of year!


          And I'm kinda partial to a couple of items in this Treasury too!...

        I'm REALLY partial to the bear! :-) ... Shhhhh! Don't tell 'Baby Wuglyee'!!! You know how he gets!! LOL
      Okay, off I go to get some 'mental Pepto Bismol'! LOL Or maybe I just need to sit down somewhere and write some poetry. :-] I'll figure it out!
      Have a good day Everybody! {And don't forget to enter the Giveaway. Click on the right hand sidebar photo for details.}

Ease, By Rhyme

To ease my mind,
I jot down a rhyme.

When forced to think,
my brain cells link.

With emotions on paper,
anxieties taper.

With the flow of my pen,
I'm  at peace again.

And to jot down this rhyme,
brought ease to my mind.

Fall and Wuglyees Is Popping Out All Over!!

    As you can see from this shot hubby took right before the rain hit us...AGAIN...the other day, Fall is popping out all over here in Massachusetts!! The strikingly colorful trees up against that ominous sky just looked beautiful! I'll show you a few more shots of my backyard and around town in a minute, but first I want to show you some beautiful Fall colors that popped out on Etsy.
   Patti, of pattichic on Etsy, included my new Pumpkin Orange and Brown Brazilian Citrine Crochet Necklace...
    ...in her new Treasury, entitled I Think I've Fallen For You.
     As soon as I saw it it made me smile! All that beautiful Orange and brown Fall happiness!! :-) If you follow the link you can check out each of the items yourself! I have my favorites in there. No surprise...the photography immediately caught my eye!...Thanks a lot Patti, for including me!!
   Now, as for my backyard, I have a lot of the kind of greenery in my backyard that doesn't change color that much in the Fall.
     But even in my backyard, and a little ways back, in the woods, you can see the little pops of color!
 
And I don't know what this is,...or what it's trying to do!! ^_^ Hubby says it looks like cotton puffs on top of the stems! But the stem also has those little dried pea pod looking things on them too. The ones that look like little helicopter blades floating by when the wind blows them.
     So, as you can see, not much color in the backyard. But in the neighborhood, a stone's throw away.....
     Even the cemetery is beautiful at this time of year!
    And you already know that the sky is!
     I know it's not gonna last. It never does. In fact, I'm surprised that the trees have held their leaves this long!! The wind hasn't been that friendly. So, I'm going to enjoy it as long as I can....and tolerate the chill that's floating in...and the rain! I can always go somewhere warm in my mind...or on some of your blogs! ;-)
    For instance, Look where I was just yesterday-->
      What. No Mints? took me on their Florida trip!! They didn't even know I was in the suitcase! ^_^ If you want to get a peek at their vacation too, go on over and check out their blog. They have lots of pretty pictures of the vacation. I'm trying to figure out how to become a follower myself.....*New-fangled computer!!!* :-]

     Okay, I'm done talking for today. But I just have to show you one more picture! Look what my one of my favorite-est customers is wearing!!
    It's the Pistachio and Moss Winter Scarf I was working on recently!!! Doesn't she look beautiful?!...And my "baby" around her neck doesn't look bad either!!! ^_^ And to her I say: "Thank you so much for letting me share!!!" :-)
     Now, poem! It's one you've seen before if you've been reading my blog. But it's very appropriate today!

Fall Is The Tree

Fall is the tree,
with its colors all set free
in the orange and red you see,
and the golden leaves in the
honey-colored harmony
of a busy bumble bee.

Its so beautiful that we
don't even have to pay a fee
for the stark tranquility
that just fills our heart with glee.

Fall is the tree,
and it makes us hit our knee,
and thank God so humbly
for the unlocked door and key
to our visual memory.
All the other seasons flee,
but the fall is the tree.
