The Hooded Baby Blanket Saga Continues......!

     As you can see, I'm in the mood to change colors on my hooded baby blanket now. :-)) I just COULD NOT crochet another row of pink!!!! This kind of shell/popcorn stitch is taking FOREVER to crochet! O_O
     I was suppose to keep going until I had 28 inches of this pink, and then make a pink hood also. Uhhhh.....NO!! ^_^ I'm an Ugly Wuglyee kind of girl. I just can't be 'NORMAL' on every project, can I?!! ^_^ So, there's a lot of pink, a bit of white, some accent lilac, a touch of coral,......
 

     ...and I added a smidge of brown, and a dollop of dusty wheat.....SO FAR! ^_^ 
 

     Hopefully I'll have it all done by the weekend, and if I can get 'Baby Wuglyee' to model it for me, I'll show it to you when it's all done! ^_^ Unfortunately, 'Baby Wuglyee' is not that happy with me these days...after I organized everything and had to find a new 'HOME' for him too! LOL
 

     I told him to talk to Peter Walsh!!! :-)) Oh! If looks could kill....'Baby Wuglyee' would have me 6 feet, and a NEW HOME, underground by now!! LOL

     I don't look in his direction anymore!! LOL Instead, I just look at the beautiful smile on the face of my satisfied customer's face! :-) ...
 

     Wasn't that nice of her to send me this photo?! :-) I love my customers!!...few though they may be these days! ^_^

     Okay, I have a meeting tonight, so I'm off!! See you tomorrow! ♥

 If you don't have time for a poem

If you don't have time for a poem...
(not to write one, I mean to emote)...
then you don't have time to be sitting
and reading this short little note.

And you don't have time for a 'breather',
to pause for a small bit of rest.
No time for a moment's reflection.
No time for a giggle and jest.

No, you don't have the time some are wasting,
with schedules that they have to keep.
No time to be spending on verbiage,
whether shallow or thoughtfully deep.

If you don't have time for a poem,
Then you don't have time for me!
So get up and get yourself going,
there's somewhere that you ought to be!!

'Back To You', Baby Wuglyee!

     Me and 'Baby Wuglyee' are taking a break today...to recoup. We're not feeling our best, but after a bit of rest and relaxation of the mind, we should be back to ourselves soon...Maybe even tomorrow....*Yawn*...hopefully!...See you then.
       In the meantime, here's a little Shirley Temple...*so glad that at least her movies and music will still be around!*... and some poetry to hold you over. :-) 



     Have a good day, Everybody! ♥
 
Tired
 
Sapped, low,
weary, slow.

Dragging about,
plum tuckered out.

Fatigued, spent,
No power surge sent.

Depleted, drained,
almost empty-brained.

Pooped, sucked dry,
out of gas, can't try.

Exhausted, fried,
 done in, mopey-eyed.

Tired? There's no doubt!
'Cause I'm all petered out.  

Friday Date Day!!!!...With An Old Friend!

      I know you're thinking that the 'old friend' that I'm talking about...because it's my Date Day...is my loving hubby. But nope! ^_^ Although my hubby is 'old', and he is my dear, dear 'friend'. ♥  That's not the friend I'm talking about today!...And shhhhhh!...He probably wouldn't like that I called him 'old'. :-) Somewhere in the recesses of his 'denial ridden' mind, he thinks he's still young, and rambunctious. Ha! Ha!
         No, the friend I'm talking about is my tiny stuffed 'Baby Wuglyee' prototype bear! :-) ...
 

      Back when I first started selling my crochet items on Etsy, in my Wuglyees shop, I used to give one of these little bears as a free gift to my customers. :-) I bought a whole bunch of them, and I used to crochet a little hair braid from his ear, and connect a keyring.
      If you look close, you can see where he has black writing across his belly. That's where I wrote my shop name, in a black 'Sharpie' pen...Uhhhhh...Not my best idea! LOL You couldn't even read it!!! ^_^
      

      Thankfully I had sense enough to stamp my website URL on the tag! :-)) 

      It was nice to find this 'old friend' yesterday.  I didn't even know that I still had one of these bears. I thought they all were sent to customers!...I guess this one slipped down beside the box...Hubby found him yesterday when he was looking for something else. :-]
      He's so cute! :-) I kinda wish I had more of them! But the place where I got them had stopped making them...That's why I just started giving away other free items along with every customer's purchase. I still do that. :-) I like for it to be a surprise for the customer as to what the free gift will be now. :-)
 

      Okay...I'm off to get my 'Date Day' started!...It's not gonna start all that great though. O_O I just got the call that my blood drawing is gonna be this morning...*sigh*...They would wait to today, wouldn't they?!! Grrrr!
      Anyway!!...Once it's done, and my arm is all bandaged up...I don't stick easily. OUCH!!! O_O...I'll be able to relax and enjoy the rest of my day with my 'Old' Honey Bear! :-) ♥ It'll be a good day, I'm sure. It always is. ^_^ ... You all have a good day too!! 

My Beloved Wuglyee

Crocheted with the greatest care.
Leaving off a tail and hair.
Button eyes that shine like coal.
Made from yarn, recycled and old.
Parts that spin, and dangle too.
Things they weren't suppose to do!
Took so much time. I could write a book!
Even made some clothes to hide his look.
He's just as ugly as ugly can be!
My beloved Wuglyees 'Baby Wuglyee'!!

Okay.....So It's Not QUITE A Zoo Out There!

(Table Decorations by 62Cards)

       Yesterday I mentioned to you that there was a lot of enjoyment of my backyard going on. Today I'll show you what I mean...But don't get thrown off by the zoo menagerie of table decorations above...even though a backyard full of those cuties wouldn't be bad!...No, I don''t 'QUITE' have a zoo in the backyard....YET! ^_^

       There was enough going on out there to make 'Baby Wuglyee' curious though! :-) You know how much 'Baby Wuglyee' loves sharing me with other objects of my attention! ^_^ Remember the whole conversation we had--> HERE?! 

      Even 'Baby Wuglyee' would approve of these guys enjoying the backyard though...

       Can you see him?!......Let me give you another angle...

      It's a squirrel...Well, I should say 'THEY' were squirrels! Hubby couldn't get a lot of good pictures of them. They move fast!!

      But we had a whole yard of them! It was as if somebody had put up a "Sale, Aisle 9!" sign! ^_^ I'm used to robins, hummingbirds, an occasonal cardinal or a blue jay. Even a skunk every once in a while. But a whole yard full of scurrying squirrels?!.....Unusual for my backyard!

       I hope this doesn't mean they know something we don't know, and that winter is coming sooner than we think!! O_O Rather than them hiding nuts for the winter, I'm gonna choose to think that maybe they were just so happy with the Fall weather, and my backyard, that they decided to go on a playful scavenger hunt just to see what they could find! ^_^

      And, of course, no scavenger hunt is any fun alone. So they enlisted a few 'play' buddies! LOL Even the neighbor cat was enlisted....

     ...but he didn't play along for long.....Cats have their own agenda. And usually it doesn't include playing well in groups! ^_^ But, thankfully, whatever the cat found he kept it to himself!
       I remember one day...a few years ago...when my friends and I were going door-to-door to talk to the neighbors about the Bible...we came across this house with a yard FULL of dead mice!! A yard full!!!....Ewwwwwwwwww!

      The lady of the house was very matter-of-fact about it. She said her cat loved her so much that he was always bringing her dead mice. O_0 ...Now that's love, huh?! But considering the amount of mice in the yard, we wondered what she was serving for dinner, or what kind of cat bed this neighborhood wandering cat was laying in at night that made him so in love with her that he would fill up the yard with them!!! 

      I should talk though. I do have a childhood memory of our cat dragging a big dead snake in the window!! LOL I don't remember what happened after that.......I think I blacked out! ^_^

      Okay...enough silliness!...'Baby Wuglyee' got his hat and scarf washed this weekend and he wants to go somewhere! :-)

       I may have to take him for a little spin...

      ...or I'll get hubby to! They've been 'best buds' lately. :-]

       I've got other things on my agenda...just like the cat. :-) I've got a talk to write, some studying to do, some reading, a nap.....of course! ^_^...and maybe, if there's still some daylight, I can do a little more crocheting on the new white scarf I started yesterday...

    It's just some leftover yarn I had laying around. And because of the bulkiness of it I haven't done anything with it. But I'm gonna make this scarf...if I have enough white to finish it! White scarves are not something that everybody crochets! So...leave it to me! :-)) There must be some winter brides out there somewhere! :-)

      ...Or maybe I'll just start another knitted hat. Yes, I said knitted. O_0 My other one I had in the shop...

      ...SOLD!! :-) And while I'm not that thrilled about doing another knitting project, this hat pattern wasn't hard at all. So I might actually enjoy it!...*gulp!*

       What are your plans today?! :-) {Don't forget to put entering my Giveaway for the lacy oatmeal colored afghan blanket on your list! :-) Click the picture of it in the right hand side bar for details.}

All My Plans Unfurled

With all my plans unfurled today,
and nothing urgent pressing me,
I might crochet another scarf
or have a steeping cup of tea.

I might watch an old movie,
or take a nap, just for a minute.
Or I might take out a book to read,
or jot a few nice words down in it.

When you don't have any children,
and no job to do from home.
You can stay in your pajamas,
and have hair you don't have to comb.

Yes, with all my plans unfurled,
there could be lots that I could do.
It's always true...I could be busy,
but kinda nice I don't 'have to'!
