I Used To Be A Dancing Machine...Now I'm A Crocheting Machine!!

This past weekend, listening to music and talking for hours with hubby, I was reminded how different I am from the girl I was in my youth. Not necessarily in a bad way, but definitely in a 'different' way!
I still love a lot of the same things I used to love...except high heels and Afros (I've definitely out-grown them!! LOL). But, for instance, even though I still love spending hours 'zoned inward', with just my yarn and crochet hook, I still like some of the same things going on around me....like, to have some music...or a tennis match (or some kind of sports....basketball championships coming soon too..WOOHOO!!!)...going on around me, in the background, so to speak. Something I can root for, or tap my feet and bop my head to!

And, considering how 'zoned in' I've been, trying to finish my custom ordered hats, I'm surprised I still 'CAN' tap my feet and bop my head! LOL Just look at what I've been doing...

Oh Yeah....me and the red hat having been having some fun!! I've only started it...Oh...about 4 times!!!! UGH! It was my own fault though. I hadn't written the instructions down very well when I made the brown one for the shop....I was doing that 'just using up some old yarn' thing. I wasn't thinking, back then, about having to re-do it!!
So, when I went to re-make it for my customer I realized that I had the pattern written down, but I hadn't said what kind of yarn I had used, or what size needles either!...UGH! I started two hats at the same time, and got them all the way to the brim before I realized that they were too small!! (I went back and finished one of them yesterday...and hopefully will have the other one finished today)
Then I started them again with larger needles, and a different pattern....Nope! That wasn't it!...So, I pulled those apart and started again!...This time....YEAH! Perfect!! :-) Red hat all done. {And it really looks more like this color...

...The light outside made it look more crimson.} And....

...the black hat...

...is all done too!!! :-)
After I make the flowers for the small hats, and list them in the shop for sale, I'll be finishing up the handle for my Yoyo bag...

...and then be hunting for my next project! :-) Do any of you have a request...a challenge...something...anything....for me to do?! ^_^ I'll be game!!
Okay, before I go back to my tennis 'game', I want to alert you all to a really cute giveaway that Priscila Peters Decor is having. Click HERE and go make a comment on her blog and get in on it!! It'll be ending on June 5, 2011. This is what she's giving away...

Pretty cute, huh?! :-) Alright! Have a good day! I'm off to do some dancing!!....after the poem, of course! :-]

Dance

Life is a dance, they always say.
It has a rhythm and a rhyme,
It makes you set a pace, while it
flows in the stream of time.

And dancing has expressions
that I think are kinda neat,
like dancing eyes and dance of joy,
happy dance and dancing feet.

Whatever dance you do today,
I hope life pleases you.
It really doesn't matter how.
Just dance! I hope you do!
