OOPS!!...What Happened To Sunday?! O_O

https://www.etsy.com/listing/189942017/crochet-blanket-soft-baby-blue-shell?ref=shop_home_feat_1

      It's Monday!!...and no one is more surprised than me!! Why?!...because I just realized that I totally forgot to do a blog post yesterday!! O_O I mean, I missed Sunday all together!!! ^_^ The truth is, I didn't miss it. I just didn't post a blog on it! Actually I thought I had already did it in the morning...but I hadn't! OOPS!! O_O
      What can I say...I had 'other fish to fry'!...as they say in the south. :-)) Hubby and I had an extended 'virtual date' this weekend...and there  was a meeting yesterday...and tennis was on...and I was doing a whole lot of crocheting!! ^_^ All good excuses, right?! ^_^ ... By the way, congratulations to tennis champions Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic!! :-) Maybe next time, 'Baby Boy' (Rafa Nadal)...at the French Open next week maybe! ^_^

      Okay...let me share with you some of my latest finished crochet projects, starting with the baby blanket in the header photo! :-) {Don't mind 'Baby Wuglyee' sitting next to the blanket. He's just been 'hanging out' around here, so I decided to let him sneak his way into a couple of photos...so you'd know that he's still alive and kicking!...sorta. LOL}
        The baby blue shell and ruffle blanket is so soft!! :-] I think it would be great as a wrap or as a decoration in a baby's room...You know, to throw across a chair, or over the end of a crib mattress...



      Now, the  aqua green hearts, ribbons, and ruffles blanket is more for decoration!...

       It's sorta like a woman that's dressed up in six-inch heels and has her make-up JUST RIGHT!! :-) ...

      ...Too much 'muss', and it could all go wrong!! LOL...But as long as you don't let her sweat...she's good!! ^_^ ...

      I'm being overly dramatic about my little beauty, I'm sure. But it was sooooooo muuuuuuch woooooork that I don't even wanna think about anybody just throwing it, all rolled up, into a drawer!!!! O_O Or letting the kids, or the dog, play with it on the floor. YIKES!!! LOL

      I also took the time and re-fashioned a few brooches too. They didn't have brooch pins on the back, so I put some on them! :-) ...

      Now, they'll wear very nicely!... :-)...sorta like a woman in a comfortable pair of flat shoes and a pair of jeans! ^_^

      Now I can officially say: "Hello Monday!" ^_^ And "Goodbye, Y'all! Have a good week!!" ^_^

My Brain, My Brain

My brain, my brain just does
what it wants and when it wants!
Some days, all of the positives
is what it flips and flaunts.

It triggers really fast,
and all my brain cells start to meet.
It stores all kinds of things,
and it just runs long, without feet!

It fires happiness,
is organized, remembers well.
But then that "Bing!" will come
as if someone just hit a bell.

It slows and starts to ponder.
And what it ponders isn't good!
Those days it might as well
be just a solid block of wood.

Can't remember what to do,
or worse, what it already did;
Thoughts are scattered everywhere
and all my memories are hid.

Yes, my brain, my brain just does
what it wants and how it wants!
My job is staying with it,
and responding when it taunts.

Seek And Ye Shall Find...More Than You're Looking For!!! ^_^

https://www.etsy.com/listing/74843065/lost-and-found-greeting-card?ref=favs_view_1

      I was just getting ready to take my nap...so that I can be all rested up to pay good attention at my meeting tonight...when I realized I hadn't done my blog post today to tell you the good news!...I FOUND IT!! :-) Of course I'm talking about my elusive rainbow baby blanket that I've been searching for a few days!...


      I decided to 'really' look for it today, instead of just looking for it in the bunched up filing cabinet of my mind...like I've been doing for the last few days! ^_^ Oooooo! That filing cabinet is a mess!!! LOL
      I had to go through bags and bags of yarn in my work-room! O_O Yikes! Who knew I had that much yarn anyway?!!! WOW!...And not only did I find the rainbow baby blanket...half done, of course!...but I found other projects that need to be either given away, thrown away, listed in my Wuglyees shop,  or finished!
      NO! I don't know where they came from!!! ^_^ And even worse, I don't have the pattern for them written down anywhere, and I'm gonna have to go back into that bunched up filing cabinet of my mind to try to remember how to finish them!! O_O ...Uhhhhh...it could be a lost cause! LOL
      I found this throw pillow cover...


      I remember finishing this one!...but why I didn't list it in the shop?!...I don't know. O_O It's really soft, with frilly yarn on the front, and a big, soft, crochet button flower! :-) ... And on back?.....
 

      ...no frill, but lots of softness. :-)

      I also found this very soft and pretty baby blue baby blanket...in progress. :-) ...
 

      In was in a bag with all of the yarn to finish it...but no written pattern! O_O UGH!...


      It's not right!...It's not right, I tell you!...for a woman with an Etsy shop that has the theme:  "Where nothing is wasted--not even the ugly!" to have all of this yarn, and these crochet projects in bags 'going to waste'!! O_O I've got to get them done!!!...


      And I will!!!...as soon as I finish the project I started with this pretty yarn. :-) ...
 

      Stay Tuned!! :-) ... But, for today, Bye!!! And have a good one! :-) ♥

Why Do You Have To Share?

I know you're probably wondering:
"Why does she feel the need to share?"
I'll tell you. It's no secret!
It's because...Oh Well...YOU'RE THERE!

Why should I suffer this alone
when I can whine right in your ear?
And, after all, you came to visit,
and you still are sitting there!

Why should I keep it to myself...
this so-called 'Too Much Information'?
If you leave it up to me
there'll be a 'Listen To Me' nation!

I like to share my good and bad.
I've done it for so many years.
But you don't really have to listen.
You could amputate your ears!

"I'm On To Something New, Baby!"

https://www.etsy.com/listing/184708339/baby-crochet-toy-beige-soft-fluffy-cat?ref=favs_view_1

      I finally did it!!...I started a crochet project that doesn't have anything to do with lapel pins, brooches, boutonnieres, or crochet flowers! :-) And it's not a custom order project either! I just started it...well...just because! :-)
      Before I show it to you though, let me say a big thank you to Lana for including my dark blue boutonniere in her new Etsy treasury! ♥ THANK YOU!!...

      You can go by and click on the shops in the treasury if you like. There's some cute items in it...like this little tennis lover from the 1950s below! :-) ...

https://www.etsy.com/listing/161422629/little-boytennis-player-childs-portable?ref=favs_view_2

      I just had to share him!! ♥ He looks to be about the right age for someone to fall in love with tennis! ^_^ Of course I was older than this!...but we're not gonna talk about age today! LOL We're gonna talk about babies, and baby blankets! :-)
      It was a baby blanket that caught my attention when I was looking around for a new crochet project. In particular...THIS crochet blanket (below)!...


      I found the pattern in one of my old 1999 booklets. I love that the pattern looks like inter-connected hearts all in rows! :-) And the ribbon all the way around is such a sweet touch, I think!
      Of course...me being me!...I couldn't possibly just make the pattern as it appears in the book!...Noooooooooo! :-)) I'm making it with mint green yarn!...And I may put a different color on the perimeter. We'll see! :-] But this is how far I am so far!...

      I love the way the front posts around the stitches do look like little hearts! :-) ...

https://www.etsy.com/shop/wuglyees?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav

      I've actually done a couple more rows since I took the pictures above. It's looking really pretty! But I can tell it's gonna be another long project, because it takes quite a while to do the 'heart' rows!!...As a matter of fact, the rows taking so long reminded me of another baby blanket that I haven't seen in a while...Oops! O_O ...Remember the rainbow blanket?!!!


      YIKES!...I haven't picked up that blanket in....in...forever!! ^_^ I guess if I'm gonna work on this mint green blanket...I might as well pull the rainbow one out and finish it too!!...I'll keep you up on their doings as they go...if they go!...I mean, 'WHEN' they go!! LOL
      I hate leaving unfinished projects undone!!...As a matter of fact, I have a few of my girlfriend's blankets to finish too!...my friend that died recently. She left me a few of her blankets and things that needed finishing. I guess I'll focus on getting them done and in someone's hands who can appreciate them! :-]
      Okay...I'm all done showing stuff for today, Baby! :-) ... Have a good day, Everybody! ♥

Baby Waddle

So-you don't  have a strut
like a skinny runway model.
Walk proudly as you stroll,
with your 'Hippy' baby waddle!

Pretty soon it will be over,
and you'll  walk your baby's  bottle
back and forth all through the night;
And who will notice if you waddle?-
With your smiling babe to coddle.
