Sometimes You Just Have To Share!

 (Original Owl Painting by nJoyArt)

      Hi, Wednesday People! :-) And uhhhh...*birds chirping*........let me see........what else can I talk about?...Uhhhh......*cricket sounds*........Hmmmmm. O_O Unfortunately, I got nothing! :-)) Well, nothing on a personal front...except rain! Ugh!...So, I'm gonna keep it positive and smile-worthy around here by sharing some wonderful items from some shops on Etsy! ^_^

      I started with the owl painting in the header photo because the owl up on top seems to be showing exactly how I'm feeling today!...not quite on solid ground, but still smiling! :-) I've been kinda nervous about finishing the talk I was writing for the meeting...among other things today, {including a friend getting sick} :-( ... but the talk is all done, and ready for presentation at the Hall...THANK YOU, FRIENDS!! ♥♥

      I went to bed on a bad note last night because my basketball team lost :-( ....BAD!!! The other team ran over them in the first quarter...41 points!!! O_O ...and they just couldn't catch up!! O_O I'm just hoping the next game, tomorrow night, is better!...It HAS to be!!

       Sooooo...as I was saying, I don't have anything to talk about!! :-)) ... Anyway! Look at these cuties!...

      Yes!...I had to show some of my crochet flowers too!...I HAD to! ^_^

      Oh Yeah!...if you have a minute, leave me a comment below and let me know which one of these banners you like best!...
 

      I'm trying to decide which one would be more appealing to customers. Thank You! :-) ... Okay, that's all I got for today! :-] Have a good one, Y'all!! ♥

Would Your Man Wear These?!

 (4 Clutch Back Crochet Flower Pins by Wuglyees)

      What a lovely Tuesday, right?!...Oh, wait!...Is it dark and dreary, rainy, still and windless where you live too?!...No?!!...Well, maybe it's not such a great Tuesday then!! LOL...I'm trying to be funny, Y'all. ^_^ The truth is...this Tuesday 'inhales unsuspecting fruit flies'!! :-)) That's my nice way to say...YUCK!! ^_^

      There is, of course, something good about it though...I got to do some quiet crocheting! :-) Not a lot!...My arms are hurting from the physical therapy exercises! O_O Who knew there were some muscles in my body I never used before?!...Not me!! LOL

      Anyway!!...I decided to crochet four flower pins to sell all together. I figure that maybe there is 'someone' out there looking for four colorful flower pins for the lapels of their groomsmen on their wedding day!...Maybe! O_O I guess if they sell...I'll know!! :-]

      The good thing is that they can also be worn by a bride and her bridesmaids, because they have the clutch pin backing. Truthfully, they can be pinned to just about anything! :-)

      If I get any interest in them I'll start putting other color combinations together. But for now...

      ...Wanna buy some brooches....or lapel flowers?! ^_^ If so, just click on one of the above pictures and it'll take you over to my shop. :-)

      In other news.....Uhhhh...there is no other news! :-)) Unfortunately my sister got sick and couldn't come for her visit. :-( ... And the doctor still hasn't received the results from my last blood draw. :-( ... *sigh*...It's just me...the rain...the dark clouds...some crochet yarn...and a fluffy pillow.
      Wait!...the fluffy pillow gave the whole thing a more positive spin! ^_^ You know how much I love a good nap!! :-] In fact...*yawn*...I think I'm due for another one right about now!!...But first, 5 smile-able things for today:

1. This morning I saw the rerun of the 'performance at the white house' last night on PBS. Oh!!!!!!....Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, Jill Scott, Tessanne Chin, etc....It was GREAT!!! :-) Such good music!!!

2. Although I'm in lots of pain today...because of the rain, and aching muscles from lots of physical therapy exercises...I still was able to do today's round of exercises! :-) ... That may not be big news to you aerobic exercising geniuses out there, but for me....IT"S AMAZING!! LOL

3. As bad as my body is feeling today, I'm still not feeling as bad as my sister! :-)) Okay...cheap shot! LOL But it made me smile!!!

4. Today is Tuesday.....And it's not Monday!! :-) That means I'm one day closer to Friday!! ^_^ Hey! I'll take a smile wherever I can get it!!

5. My mother-in-law may be moving soon! :-) ... Stay tuned!

      That's it for today....If there's something you wanna know, or wanna ask....come on with it!! ^_^ Have a good day till then!! :-)

Just To Let You Know I'm Still Here! :-)

 (Puppy Dog Amigurumi Crochet Pattern by PatchworkMoose)

       Hi Y'all!...I'm just peeking in for a minute to let you know I'm okay, and that I'm still kicking! :-)) There's all kinds of tiny things going on, but in order to tell you about it I'd have to do a lot of talking and explaining...which, believe it or not, I still don't have the energy or the wherewithal to want to do right now!

      I can tell you that I no longer have a fever. YAY! But I'm still waiting for more bloodwork results, and I have a few new issues...Ugh!...so I'm still not quite back up to 'myself' yet...On a good note, I did make a couple of lavender flower pins yesterday though! :-) I couldn't help myself. I thought that if I didn't crochet something I might lose my mind!! LOL But shortly afterward...I needed another nap! ^_^

 (Amigurumi Sea Turtle Crochet Pattern by PatchworkMoose)

      So rather than trying to crochet today, I decided to look at other people's crochet! ^_^ And these cute little animals were 'just the ticket!' :-] 

 (Seal Amigurumi Crochet Pattern by PatchworkMoose)

      They made me think of my 'Baby Wuglyee'. :-) And if 'Baby Wuglyee' wasn't so 'loosey goosey' and ugly...not to mention dirty...I might be trying to cuddle with him right now! ^_^ Instead, I'm waiting near phones all day, for doctors, nurses, and physical therapists to call!...Ugh!...It's been like a revolving door up in here!! LOL

       I don't know what will be next, but I know it'll be interesting!! ^_^ I just hope it's not 'TOO' interesting!!...Thanks to hubby though, I've had a different kind of soup every day, and an occasional surprise. :-) Always something to smile about!! :-)

      Speaking of which, tomorrow is 'Virtual Friday Date Day'! :-) YAY!!...I need to get outta here! Somewhere that will escape the eyes of the 'white-coated' vampires! LOL (Phlebotomists...Ugh!) They are no fun to see coming when you're the kind of person who has moving veins like I have!!! O_O The backs of my hands are taking a beating!!!

      That's alright!...Tomorrow hubby and I will be on some sandy sunny beach somewhere. :-) I might even let hubby braid my toe hair!! LOL...Don't ask!! LOL

(11 x 14 Palm Tree Tropical Art Print by karenfieldsgallery)

      I might see you tomorrow. We'll play it by ear, okay! ^_^

WOW! How Quickly Things Change!!

 (Needle Felted Owl by feltjar)

      Yesterday I was feeling good...(except for a slight headache I woke up with...which is still kinda sorta here this morning....Wait! What was I talking about?! LOL)...I was nursing a 'feel good' emotional hangover from the U.S. Open men's match...WOOHOO!!!! How fun that was!!!....And again, congratulations to my 'baby boy'. ^_^ That's Rafa Nadal to those NOT in the know! :-)

     How quickly things change though. :-( And I'm not just talking about the headache...which I still have this morning, and which has moved to the middle of my forehead, and seems to be making my shoulders tighten up too!...And before I start getting diagnoses...Yes! I know what it probably is.....It's stress!

     Stress?!....Yes!!!!!...And I'll tell you why....besides the headache and tense shoulders I mean. :-)) ... One reason is because I woke up to a backyard full of fog! O_O Why fog, you ask?!...because the humidity is ridiculously high outside this morning! (Thanks for sharing, Cindy! ^_^)

     Thankfully the fog is suppose to lift later this afternoon...to be replaced by....yeah, you guessed it!.....HEAT!!! O_O It's suppose to get up to as high as 93 degrees!....in September?!....Yep!...And here I was...'silly me'...touting how great it was that it was almost Fall! :-)

  (Autumn Inspired Hand Knit Leg Warmers by RememberADay)

     I guess I have to kick away that idea for a while! ^_^ Whatever!!...It's still the time of year for good fruit...

 (Grapes Still Life 10x8 Print by VictoriaEnglishCharm)

      ...and for baking! :-) 

 (Ombré Purple to Lavender Hand Painted Measuring Cup Set by GrayDecember) 

       Ummmm...I can almost smell the banana and applesauce bread in the oven right now!! ^_^ But, of course, I have to finish up the bits of bread that we were given last week first!! :-)

      It's also the time of year for me to start exploring other hot sip-able drinks...teas!..besides my beloved green tea with honey and lemon, I mean. :-) Maybe I'll finally get that Earl Grey tea with milk and sugar that I've been dreaming of! :-)) Or some more mint chamomile, or some apple spice with cinnamon, or...or...Okay. You get the drift, right?! ^_^

 (Custom Made Art Gourd by PonyLegsStudio)

      And speaking about how quickly things change...my father just came home from a 4-day stay at the hospital. :-( He's having some kinda serious issues going on at the moment....I'm thankful for his positive spirit about it all, but he annoyed me a bit this time...in a loving way...because he didn't tell me he was going in the hospital!! He called me when he got home! O_O

      He said: "You have so many things going on yourself right now, that I didn't wanna worry you."...I said: "Dad!!!!!...what if you had 'popped off'?!!!"... (that's affectionately how we talk about death, he and I...Don't ask! LOL)...He jokingly said: "I wasn't planning to take it that far!! ^_^"...We laughed about it for a while, joking back and forth, and then we talked about it seriously.

      After that I reminded him that if he 'pops off' without me talking to him, because he thought it was too much for me to worry about, that when Jehovah wakes him up in the resurrection I'll be standing there...so I can 'pop him one'!!! ^_^ ... Ooooo! What happened to my docile, quiet spirit?! ^_^

(Felted Acorns by feltjar)

       How quickly things change!!! LOL...Have a good day, Everybody! :-)

I Just Want To Share What She 'Felt'...

 (Two Black Clouds With Birds Felt Wall Hanging by Intres)

      I just felt like sharing some things that were 'felt'. That's why! ^_^ Yes, the clouds and birds in the header are from an Etsy shop specializing in...you guessed it!...'felt'! :-) And how creative!!!

      I figured I'd share what she felt instead of what I'm feeling about the rain we're getting right now!!...OUCH! So, here goes!...

 (Four Miniature Buildings of Felt, with a tree by Intres)

 (Felt Oak Tree in Autumn by Intres)

      This is the cutest tree ever!!!! :-) It almost makes me long for Fall to get here faster! ^_^ And the expression on the owl's face, up top, is priceless! :-)

(Four Miniature Lilac Buildings of Felt, with a Tree by Intres)

     Well, that's all I got today!...unless you wanna hear me go on and on about the great tennis matches at the opening day of the U.S. Open! :-) ... Oh Yeah! I can show you the two  items I crocheted in between matches!!...

      I crocheted a 3-layer brooch for ladies...

    ...and a tiny Lemon Lapel Pin for men!...
 

      They're both in my Wuglyees Etsy shop already...with some crickets that are wandering around in there! ^_^

      Okay...it's breakfast time at the 'Open'!!....LOVE!!!! :-) Have a good day, Everybody!

The Salesman Story...Part 2!

 (Business Nut Stainless Steel Sculpture by LimitedCreations)

     Soooo...hubby went to one of the 'large' formal wear shops in our area yesterday...I won't tell you the name of it yet,  just in case it doesn't turn out to be anything! :-)) But hubby was all dressed in his best suit, face-to-face with another well-dressed gentleman all 'dappered-out' in a suit himself! 

      Hubby was wearing one of my boutonnieres, which immediately caught the gentleman's attention. :-) Then he pulled out the little blue box with the other boutonnieres and lapel pins of mine in it, and it was ON!!!!... ^_^ ...conversation and sales pitching I mean. :-) I'll tell you what happened in a minute...^_^...first let me show you the set of custom brooches I finished!...

 (Custom Crochet Brooch Set by Wuglyees)

      3...3...and 3!! :-) ...
 

      These are designated, but if you want a set for yourself you know where to find me! ^_^ At Wuglyees!!

     Oh Yeah!...there were a couple of items from Etsy that I really liked on my normal 'browse through' this morning too! ^_^ ...

 (Typographic Print by madebymeITALY)

 (15mm Tigereye Square Beads by YayBeads)

 (3-Pack of Cotton T-Shirt Headbands by looneyjoontees)

 (Gold Aqua Summer Beach Dangle Earrings by PluffMudDesigns)

       Okay, now that I have sufficiently dragged you all along!... ^_^ ...back to my salesman story!...

(Business Nut Stainless Steel Sculpture by Limitedcreations)

      ...After showing the well dressed gentleman my boutonnieres and lapel pins, the man said: "You've got a great idea there!!...The only problem is that we're not a franchise. In other words, our shop can't individually decide to add new items to our business...We're a corporation, and all decisions have to come down from the corporate office...But I think your items are good enough to give the office a call!...Here's the number."

      Then he handed hubby a business card with the name of the person to contact, with the phone number, email, and website address!!! ^_^) Woohoo!!!!...I was soooooo excited!!! :-] ... This morning I'm scared to death!!!! O_O What can I say. I'm crazy! Ha! Ha!

      Hubby is gonna act as my salesman/secretary today and call the corporate office......*gulp!*...Just saying the words 'corporate office' makes me nervous and has my stomach trying to do cartwheels!!! O_O

    Okay....confession...I don't trust very easily. And the idea of trusting a 'corporate office' to treat my idea with respect and not try to rake me over the coals and steal my idea...?!!!...I don't trust it AT ALL!!! O_O ...*gulp!*...Hubby keeps assuring me that not being business savvy will be alright...and not knowing 'business lingo' is not gonna be that much of a detriment to me....etc....

      I said to hubby: "Suppose they ask me what my 'business model' is?" O_O ... Hubby said: "Then you just tell them!".....I said: "Uhhhhh....I don't even know what 'business model' means!!!! I just heard it somewhere!!!!!!" O_O ...Hubby said: "I think it's got something to do with your slogan: 'Where nothing is wasted--not even the ugly!' " ... I said: "Are you sure?! O_O" ... "Nah! But I think so.".... O_O Aarghhhhhh!!!........I think we're in trouble folks!!! LOL...To be continued! ^_^ Have a good day, Everybody! :-)

What's That?!!...EARTHQUAKE!!

     Yesterday I didn't have anything that I could talk about. That is NOT the case today! Although, if it had been left up to me, I might not have even known about it!...What?!...Last night there was a 4.0 magnitude earthquake on the east coast of the United States...a place where having earthquakes is NOT normal...in fact, it's very rare!
         It was centered a few miles west of Hollis, Maine, a bit north of us. It happened at 7:12 in the evening.  And apparently it was felt throughout western Massachusetts...right here where we live! O_O...and as far south as southern Connecticut and New York! 
       Neighbors of ours said they felt it. It was shaking and rattling dishes and stuff!....We...hubby and I, Mr. and Mrs. Oblivious...didn't feel a thing! And we were wide awake too! ^_^ The way I found out about it was on Facebook!...You don't know how much I don't want to admit that!! Ha! Ha!
      On Facebook I follow our local t.v. stations and The Weather Channel. So, if there's anything going on in our area, it streams right away on my timeline. And as soon as I logged on I noticed that not only were the local t.v. stations talking about the earthquake, but my friends and neighbors that live right here in town and in neighboring states were talking about it too!
      I wonder if there's gonna be aftershocks today. Oh Well, let's just hope we find out about it, if so! ^_^ *shaking my head*...If this were all the news I had to tell today, it would be okay with me. But unfortunately it's not. :-(
       I got a phone call from my father yesterday...mid-week! That's never good! And it wasn't good this time either. :-( ...My father grew up as the baby boy...the only boy...in a house with a doting mother and two older sisters. He refers to himself proudly as a "Mama's Boy". ^_^
      He tells stories of when he was a boy and how when his sisters would go out somewhere, how his mom would make them take their little brother along...not to get him out of her hair, as she claimed, but to be her secret informant! ^_^ He loved his mother, and he was a happy little tattler! LOL Unfortunately his sisters got wind of his undercover espionage and they made him pay....BIG!! LOL...I won't get into the details, out of respect for him, but let me just say that when sisters wanna 'torture' a little brother...they know how to do it!! ^_^
       My dad lost his beloved mom when he was 16 years old. :-( And a few years ago he lost one of his sisters to breast cancer. His remaining sister lives very far away, and yesterday she called him to say that her husband, my uncle, had died. :-( 
      I could hear the true sadness in my dad's voice, because my uncle was not just my dad's sister's husband. He was also his friend...Add to this the fact that my father has been in so much pain lately, and you'll understand how sad he truly sounded...He's pondering over whether he can wear his back-brace, give up his normal way of taking care of himself, and ride more than 16 hours in a car so that he can be there for his only remaining sister. :-(
      I didn't even try to give him any advice or suggestions about what he should do. This one is gonna be strictly on him. But something tells me...he's going!...What shape he's gonna be in when he gets there?...I don't know. But being able to hug his sister and 'shoot the breeze' with her (talk) may be worth the pain and discomfort for him. ..Sometimes it's better to take care of the mind.
       I'm gonna try to take care of my mind today too....by crocheting! I won't be crocheting scarves though. I still have plenty of them. In fact, I just renewed this one this morning...

      ...No, I sold 6 lapel pins yesterday. My stash of lapel pins has to be replenished...again. :-] Crocheting lapel pins, some reading, and some studying, is on my schedule for today....and a nap or two also....Don't Hate! ^_^ Take a nap with me! Let your emotions rest a while! LOL....Anyway!...What are you doing today?!...Whatever it is, have a good one! :-)

Things I'm Loving This Weekend...And Other Stuff

(Natural Slate Stone Mosaic Keepsake Box by BlythHouseCreations)

       I can't believe the weekend is flying by so fast! I hope you're enjoying it! :-) My mind is preoccupied with some things that are going on...some great. Others not good at all. :-( Of course I'm gonna share the good stuff with you first!

      Did you see the 'good stuff' in the way of that gorgeous keepsake box in the header photo?! It appropriately has hearts and love written all over it...because that's exactly how I feel when I look at it! ^_^ Ohhh...the things I wanna 'keep' in there!! :-)

     Another good thing...kinda...that's going on this weekend is that that over-powering heat has ceased! It was close to 100 degrees for a few days there...before the rain. And even after the rain it was still in the 80s and humid...Now it's just sunny. And the backyard has decided that it likes sunny! ^_^ 

      It likes sunny so much that it's decided to grow everything quickly....and NOW!!! O_O No kidding! I was looking out the window during the rain, day before yesterday, wondering if our little bare grass patch was gonna grow some grass in it any time soon. Then, as I was looking out the window at different points during the day yesterday...

      ...I realized....Hey! The leaves on that tree are getting sooooo full!...And look at those hollyhocks!!!! All of a sudden they just shot up!!...

      It almost looks like a jungle out there now! O_O The only good thing is that the robins and hummingbirds are loving it!!...So are some other critters, like ants and spiders, but that's another long story...*cold shiver*...for another short day! LOL

      In other news, the little crochet thread flowers I listed in the shop yesterday......are gone! :-) The customer said she loved them!...

       Guess I better list the other ones I made. And get to work on making some more of them! :-)

       First I have to finish the project I started yesterday though...

       The slippers I shared in my post yesterday reminded me that it's been quite a while since I made any slippers for the shop.....So I started a pair. :-) Well, actually, I almost finished a pair! :-) One of them is completely finished, with the button sewn on it and everything! I'm working on the top part of the second one...

      They should be done today. So, hopefully, I'll share them with you tomorrow. :-]

    More good news!...The Wimbledon tennis tournament is starting tomorrow....YAY!!!! :-) Rafael Nadal (alias "Baby Boy) and Stanislaw Wawrinka are already practicing!...

(Rafael Nadal's page on Facebook)

      Sports-wise there's a wealth of 'stuff' going on right now...The Miami Heat basketball team won the championship the other night. (They weren't my team, but I'm happy for LeBron James. He has being wanting this win for a long time!) Congratulations Miami!! I'm not a sore loser...Wah! Wah! ;'_';...MUCH!

      The Tour De France is due to start soon also. Although I'm afraid a lot of the coverage is gonna be the 'talking heads' (commentators) going on and on about Lance Armstrong and the investigation into his alleged drug doping. :-( "Say it isn't so, Lance!"...I hope it's not. That would just be too sad to think about. I guess time will tell.

      There's been NASCAR racing on one channel. Gymnastics, diving and track and field try-outs on other channels! (The Olympics in London is coming next month.) Not to mention the Aegon International tennis tournament (pre-Wimbledon tournament) that's been going on all week!...It's a good time for a sports lover! :-)

     In other NOT so good news, those of you who have been following my blog for a while know that my girlfriend that I loved so much passed away a few months ago...Well, I got terrible news yesterday. Her father's cancer has returned. :-( And it's apparently past the point of aggressive treatment. Or, at least, past the point where he wants to treat it aggressively. :-( He's gone through this battle successfully in the past, but doesn't want to go through that again. I think his doctor is concurring with him. He's in his 80s.

      It was a very sad night for me. :-( The family is still trying to process Peaches death. Now 'Pop'!...I don't want to try to be too 'doom and gloom' here. After all, if he dies, we do have a wonderful Biblical hope to see him again soon...in perfect health. But it's just that in the meantime we're gonna miss him terribly. It's a very emotional time. :-( (This music is exactly how I was feeling last night --> HERE <--)

       There's nothing good about death....NOTHING!! I'm just thankful that we have the kind of loving, supportive spiritual family around us that help to make times like this bearable. 

      Okay...I'm off to wake up the sleeping giant....which would be my sound asleep husband right now. :-] It's gonna be a long day. There's no need in me being the only one not getting any sleep around here before it gets started! ^_^ Is that wrong...that I don't want to watch him sleep peacefully while I'm sitting here with my eyes big as saucers?!.....Well, that's too bad! I don't wanna!! ^_^ ...*shaking him*...."Wake Up, Baby!!!!" :-)

      Have a good rest of the weekend, Y'all! :-]
