My Brain Is Blog-Flat-lining'! :-))

 (Autumn Aspen Forest - Single Large Personalized Hand Painted Mug by MaryElizabethArts)

      I think I'm losing my enthusiasm for blogging! O_O Well...clearly that's not a definite conclusion, because here I am! And what am I doing?....blogging! LOL But somewhere deep down I can feel that blogging has lost some of it's spark for me!

      Maybe it's just a seasonal thing and the spark will come back in a few days. I don't know. But for whatever reason I find myself dreading the thought of trying to figure out what I'm gonna say here! O_O

      I think I know what the real problem is. The real problem is that I have sooooooo much I wanna talk about, but I can't!! Ugh! The things that are going on in my life right now are generating a lot of talk, but not the kind of talk you talk to strangers...or unfamiliar bloggers...about! I mean, I know some of you, but I don't KNOW you...if you know what I mean. ^_^

      So, since I can't talk to you about.....Uhhhh.....and I can't talk to you about......hmmmmm...that leaves talking to you about cute Etsy items.....

 (Doll House Ring by JamieSpinello)

      ...and the things I'm crocheting! ^_^

      I'm just about to start a few more hats, but in the meantime I'm making squares for a children's 'granny square' blanket! :-]
 

      It's gonna be pretty colorful...as you can see! ^_^

      Until my 'blogger-funk' goes away I guess 'll just have to come by and say.....SOMETHING!....whenever the mood hits me......I guess! O_O Or share some music, or just sigh. You know....normal stuff! ^_^
      When I'm not here I'll be home crocheting, eating, exercising, watching old television shows, singing, bed-dancing, planning, and who knows what all else! :-)) And I suppose I should also add that I'll also be on Facebook, chatting with my new-found family! Some family members are organizing our family tree. It's sooooooo interesting the things you thought you knew, but didn't! And the things you only suspected that you knew about your family, but you were right!! ^_^ It's certainly making for some smile-worthy days...even if they aren't days here on the blog! ^_^
      If you have some ideas about stuff you want me to talk about, please let me know!! The only things I put in my 'blog-content-file' were these two things I saw in the news:

      --- The female tennis player, Li Na, has officially announced her retirement from tennis....AND...
      --- A man was set free on bail after being arrested and charged with driving under the influence four times in less than 48 hours!!!

       Both stories are true, but only one of them is clearly about to lose their mind. You guess which!! LOL

      Okay...I'm off to find something else to smile about! :-) I suppose I should check my brain scan monitor first, to make sure the line is still jumping!! ^_^

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,

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

 (Soft Baby Blue Shell Ruffle Crochet Blanket by Wuglyees)

      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...

 (Wuglyees)

 (Wuglyees)

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

 (Aqua Green Ribbon Ruffles Crochet Blanket by Wuglyees)

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

 (Wuglyees)

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

 (Wuglyees)

      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!!" ^_^

Why Do I Think I Might Be Losing My Mind?!...Let Me Tell You!

 (8x10 Print by KeepCalmShop)

      I know what you're thinking...."Losing your mind, Wug?!...Really?!".....Yes!! ^_^ (Although some of my close friends might not find this so unbelievable! LOL) But why do I say it?!...Let me tell you...and Ramen noodles is a big part of it!!

 (Zipper Pouch Upcycled / Recycled Ramen Small Coin Change Purse by Cherie4e)

       The above item isn't actually Ramen noodles...at least not now! :-) ...it's an upcycled coin purse!!...Creative Etsians are the coolest, aren't they?! :-) 

        Okay...Ramen noodles...Uhhhhh...I'm craving them...ALL THE TIME!!! O_O...and not just 'any' Ramen noodles....Chicken Mushroom Ramen Noodles!!! O_O ... I don't know why!...Hence the reason I think I might be losing my mind! ^_^

      I mean...who wakes up in the morning and the first thing on their mind is "Ramen Chicken Mushroom noodles, Please!!!" O_O .....ME!!!...It's crazy!!...It started with cheesecake last week, which is understandable for most sweets lovers. Then it was coffee. Again, understandable! And so was the chocolate craving....But Ramen noodles?! O_O I'm at a loss....I must be losing my mind!...Or my hormones are on the 'whack! whack!' again!!!....It's probably the latter. LOL

       Whatever!...You all will still love a crazy Ramen noodle loving girl, right?!....Right?!! LOL...Maybe not. But you might humor me a little. That'll be just fine with me! ^_^ I'll still have my crochet!! ^_^  

      Did you notice?!...They're all variegated threads!! :-)

      Hubby bought a package of DMC variegated threads for me as a gift, and I've been having FUN, FUN, FUN!!! :-) The above colors are baby blue, mauve and red, mustard and steel grey.

        Today hubby is home. I don't know what we'll be doing, but I think I'll just relax my crocheting fingers for the day. I know we have a meeting tonight...And it's the day for the lady's semi-final tennis matches at Wimbledon. YAY!!! In fact, the first match between Marion Bartoli and Kirsten Flipkens is about to start!!......Bye Bye!....It's gonna be a good day!...You all have a good day yourselves!! :-)

A Quick "SHOUT OUT" To All The Snoozers!

 (Sunshine Snooze Eco Felt Owl Phone Cozy Blackberry iPhone Case by HappyFelties)

      Have you ever had one of those mornings when you just DID NOT wanna get up?!...One of those mornings where just 20 more minutes felt like it would be the difference between a 'good day' and an 'awful life'?! LOL...

     ...One of those mornings where you did'nt care how uncomfortable the position your back or knee was in...you just needed a FEW MORE MINUTES?!...

      

 (15 x 22" Snoozing, Framed Watercolour by barbarafarren)

     ...One of those mornings where you knew your brain wanted to get up...because it kept repeating the same dream over and over where you were trying to stop from going to the bathroom in all manner of not appropriate places...but you STILL don't wanna get up yet?! LOL...

(Vintage Sandicast Lil' Snoozers S73 Yellow Labrador Retriever by gunnelclifford)

 

    ...One of those mornings where the alarm snooze button's going off for the third time sounds like someone playing heavy metal music and dragging their fingernails across a chalkboard, but you don't care!..because you're still not ready to get up?! ^_^ ...

(Park Snoozers 8" X 10" Photograph by mljart)

    ...One of those mornings where, in order to get yourself to rouse, you had to remember that Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are playing a LIVE championship tennis match in a few minutes, and if you don't get up you're gonna miss it? O_O ...

    ...One of those mornings where reality and dream world meet...and reality drags your 'snoozy booty' up!!! LOL...
 

(Pudgy Snoozing Owl - 6x6 Acrylic Painting by momentofstars)

     ...Well, reality...and some grits, bacon, eggs...

       ...a cup of sweet honey and lemon green tea!...

       ...and PANCAKES! :-) ...

        Yeah, that did it! I'm up now! :-) It's Pancake Sunday!!!!!! ^_^ Have a good day, Everybody!

......But That's Not All!

          It's Friday!!!! :-) And yes we did!.......make it through another week with all of our fingers and toes intact, all of our breathing apparatuses still working, and with some food still left in the refrigerator! Ha! Ha!...That was a reference to my 'out-of-control' hunger cravings yesterday. ^_^ My food consumption yesterday included breakfast sausage, grits, cheesy eggs, toast and strawberry jelly, coffee, fried chicken wings, leftover noodles and vegetables (made by a dear friend...YUM!), popcorn, and...and I ain't shame!...cake and ice cream! O_O ... Okay....maybe I'm a little bit ashamed...*hanging my head*
     Yikes!...It didn't seem like that much when I was eating it, but when you list it on paper, it sure looks bad!!...NOTE TO SELF: Never list your day's food consumption ever, ever again! LOL...Moving on...in a hurry!!...*burp!*

        I'm thankful for two things: I'm thankful that, as long as you're still breathing the next day, you can always do it better...or eat better...the next day. (That would be today, for me!)...And I'm thankful that I know how to do a lot of other things besides eat!! ^_^
       I know how to write poems...even though I haven't been writing many new ones lately...I know how to sing...even though my husband probably wish I didn't after yesterday! I was singing that 'Stuttering' song ALL...DAY!!!! O_O ....I'm not kidding...when my hormones go haywire, it's like I'm some kind of 'brain-glitched' fool! ^_^ Food, nor music, is safe!! {By the way, can you believe that they almost kicked Jessica Sanchez off of American Idol last night?!....Had me stu-stu-stuttering! LOL}
     But I also...on automatic...know how to crochet! :-) And that's what I've been doing for days, in between everything else...to keep my fingers, and my brain, limber! ^_^ The green boutonniere/brooch/necklace pendant/comb brooch/whatever you want it to be!...was one of the ones I just recently finished...

          In my pictures they look big, but, in reality, they're less than two inches (5.1 cm)!...

        I put little buttons on the front, to look at...

         ...and buttons on the back, to use for buttoning them onto stuff...

        Yep! A pretty little apple green 'baby'. :-) But....and here's where the blog post title comes in...that's not all!...As I said, I've been making these little 'babies' every time I sat still!...and putting them in an air-tight bag...

         I emptied the bag yesterday to see how many I had......

      WOW! O_O

            And every one of them has 'button-on' ability!...

       And, believe it or not, there's still some crochet floss..and food! (just saying!)...left in the world! ^_^ ... I know because I made another one since I photographed these! LOL
      Is it wrong that I wanna make them, but I don't wanna list them in the Wuglyees shop?! O_O Well...that's not exactly true. I 'wanna'...I just don't 'WANNA'!! ^_^
    Today it's bread and water for me!....Okay...there's gonna be no bread. NONE! I'm carbo-ed out!!! But I am keeping it lighter....in the interest of balance...If my hormones let me, I mean. O_O They can be pretty insistent when  they wanna be...and they WANNA!! ^_^
     Have a good day, Everybody!!...Go on a 'virtual' date or something!! ^_^

I Don't Know If I'm Going Or Coming...!

(60s Floral Dress by oldage)

        I saw this cute little dress and it reminded me of when I was a little girl and I used to watch my mother get dressed to go out. I'm almost positive she had a little floral dress just like this one!...Ohhhh! The 60s! :-) I was just a 'youngun' in the 60s, but my memories of that time are very clear...more clear than my memories of what I did yesterday...or 20 minutes ago frankly! LOL

     I know my memory is getting 'scattery' because my hubby keeps saying things like: "Don't you remember I told you...blah, blah, blah...!"...and the answer is: "No! No I don't! thank you very much!...Move on already!!...Tell it to me again!" ^_^

     My not knowing whether I'm going or coming has him cracking jokes about me having Alzheimer's!! He thinks he's sooooo funny! But won't he be surprised if one of these days he comes home and starts one of those long stories about the different stops on his route....and I start screaming because there's some strange man in my house!!! LOL

      Yes, I have been tempted to do it just for a joke, but I'm afraid he might actually call the doctor and the two of them might finally have the excuse they need to lock me up!!! LOL

     That's why I got so tickled when I saw the name of the treasury by thecarboncrusader that included the dress in my header photo. The treasury was titled "i follow you"...

       It's a really cute treasury, and she put one of my crocheted necklaces in it! And that's why when I saw it I kept thinking: "If only you knew who you were trying to follow!!" ^_^ I'll show you a couple of my favorite items in her treasury, but let me finish my story first...

    My friends and my sister-in-law came over yesterday. Within the hours of these visits, while I was ecstatic and giggling and having a good time, my mind was all over the place! And my hormonal, forgetful, brain was my constant companion.

       One of my girlfriend's asked me, but I couldn't remember where the new phone that hubby bought for her was plugged in at...the one hubby got new the other day. He bought one for us and one for my girlfriend. My old cell phone wouldn't keep a charge anymore, and his ended up under water...don't ask! LOL We needed new ones, and we saw a great deal for them online...There's a long story in there, but I'm not telling it today!!! FRUSTRATING!!!

      Anyway!...hubby activated ours the other night, and I activated the one for my friend so that it would be charged when she came over to pick it up...Well, she came to get it....and I couldn't remember where it was plugged in at!!...No! We don't live in a mansion with 8,000 rooms!! ^_^ I'm just not the brain-savvy girl I used to be!

     I had to call hubby at work to use his brain for the memory that mine won't hold anymore....All I did was give him more Alzheimer ammo!! LOL...It was plugged up in the socket and laying on the floor in the hall (NOW I remember!! LOL)

    Add to that that hubby came home, kissed me hello, and proceeded to ask me a bunch of questions..."Did she like the phone?!...Did you write down her new number?...What were you and 'Sis' talking about today?!...Is she coming back over tonight?!...How long is she gonna be in town?!"...and I had to hem and hah my way through them!!...Seriously?!!!...I couldn't remember what we talked about...and that's all I did yesterday was talk!!! LOL

      UGH!...I think I better look into that Ginkgo Biloba or something!! O_O ....Okay, before I forget, I better show you the items I liked from the treasury!...

(Custom Rosie Initial Necklace by TwoLittleDoves)

(Wool Knitted Slipper Socks by RGideas)

(14k gold filled Bracelet by petitor)

      And, of course, my pink and black necklace! *Teehee*...

      There's one other...fabulously creative...item that was in this treasury. I had to show it to you all by itself. It's that cool!! :-) ...

       Looks like just a regular shell....right?!.......

      ...WRONG!!!...

       It's a Handstitched Clamshell Book Sculpture! It's in the etsy shop odelae...

        Now that's what I call a great place to keep your thoughts!...Or in my case, my memories!! LOL

      Okay, I think I'm 'going' now. ^_^ Have a good day everybody!...and don't forget about the Giveaway. Just click the right hand sidebar for what it is and what the rules are to enter. There's only a few more days!....Now, where was I?!.....
