Yep! It is what it looks like...snow! The first snowfall of the year has hit my little backyard by surprise! I've been hearing for days now that snow was coming, but it wasn't suppose to get here until Sunday.
Okay, so it's an embarrassingly small amount. Whatever! It's still SNOW!!! LOL And it was enough to catch us by surprise!
Sorry little bag of planting soil. We didn't get enough notice to get you outta there in time.
Sorry little plant box......Eh! You'll be alright like that til the Spring! :-)) I'm still sorry though. {can't you feel my sincerity?! ^_^}
We were having so much fun inside the house, enjoying....Ha! Ha!....our 'Date Night' that what the weather was doing outside didn't even cross our mind!
I'm SURE some much more serious downfalls are coming, but this was just what they call around here a 'dusting'. I don't like dusting either.....but I digress. :-) .... Now let me tell you about all of the fun we had for 'Date Night'!!
While I was waiting for hubby to get home, with my stomach growling in preparation for whatever kind of delicious goodness we would be eating tonight, {once a week, on date night, we eat something we REALLY want to eat, instead of just eating for health} I did some crocheting. I decided that since "Ugmo" {that's my new name for the red and black hat...LOL}...
...can't just sit on Shequita's head forever, I'd make a really nice basic red colored matching scarf....and sell them both as a set!! LOL That way SOMEBODY will HAVE to take it!!! ^_^
This is as far as I've gotten so far, but I'll probably finish it tomorrow. {Ignore the color in the photos. YES, it's the same scarf, but with ME taking the pictures!! UGH!!}
Then hubby came home...bearing gifts! :-)
A nice box of my favorite chocolates {the chewy, nutty, crunchy kind!!}, and...
....a cold!! He was dripping and raspy throated, and....not feeling well at all. :-( I had to spend our 'Date Night' being Mama doctor/nurse, making him drink lots of water, take a hot shower, and eat something good for him. He had this...
...Some bean and cheese kielbasa soup/stew, with all kinds of fiber...for the sick baby's colon. {You know that's the place to attack when you have a cold...right?! :-)} It had onions, garlic, and all kinds of 'Feel Better' stuff in it...And what did I have?!
Fish and chips...Not much though. I didn't even eat one of my chocolates, because I still have that toothache too!! That's why hubby had brought me another gift to go with my chocolates...
He's thoughtful...and he thinks he's funny!! LOL
So we ate a little, got ourselves into bed, and had a very good SLEEPING 'Date Night'! Actually, it was the best sleep I've had all week! I feel very rested this morning...and no toothache {But it'll probably come back!} So, all in all, Good "date Night'!! :-) What did you do yesterday?! I COULDN'T possibly have been more fun than this!! ^_^
If You Live Long Enough
If you live long enough
and experience you earn,
there is one great big lesson
in this life you will have learned;
that if you laugh your way through it,
and you're positive all the time,
then your heart becomes a magnet
and whats bad stops on a dime!
Love is drawn into your life
like a butterfly to a flame;
People's smiles drop from the sky,
like the rain that does the same.
And because you're lifted up,
there is nothing you can't do.
If you live long enough
your date with "Life" is never through!

New Growth!
Say hello to my newest baby. I put it as my first picture today because it kinda looks like a potted flower. You know how much I love a flower! :-)) It's a combination of soft turquoise and white thread.
It's one of the newest projects I've been working on since I've been dodging the heat wave. I love the shell butterfly on it. I have a few other shell dangles too.
I'm contemplating using these on some projects today, because the heat, while it'll be a little bit lower, is still not low enough to make me want to get into anything that's gonna make me warm...er. I say that because I have a black and white scarf I need to get to work crocheting, BUT...not in this heat! I can hardly stand the hormonal heat I have myself, (even when the weather outside isn't that bad)...but add a heat wave and a bunch of yarn over my lap and you have "Heaty Mama"! She's not very nice! LOL I'd just as soon not go there!!
I made a couple of other things over the last few days too.
I didn't put any dangles on these. I kinda like them without any...But this next summery beauty, while it's definitely colorful, in my opinion it still needed some flash!
I thought that this heart-shaped dangle was the perfect flash-point for it. What do you think?! More importantly, would you wear it?!...Before you answer, ask yourself: "Just exactly how confident am I?!" You have to know who you are to wear this one!!...I have some other heart-shaped dangles waiting for a project to accentuate.
The one with the cameo is much larger than the others. I'm gonna have to make the crochet flower much smaller so that it doesn't have an overwhelming look. I have a couple other necklaces I already made like that. I'll probably put them in the shop this week.
Here are a few other dangles I have in my stash...
And even a vintage one!
So, as you can see, with all of this....
...I've got plenty to keep me busy during this heat wave. 'Go ahead heat wave! Make my day!!!'...Wonder if Clint Eastwood ever crocheted?!....I'm becoming delusional again. It's gonna be a loooooong day, isn't it?! LOL I may need a lot of naps in between all of this creativity before this day is over!
