Thinking Of New........!


      Hello!...You probably noticed that my post title didn't say 'one word' about pancakes! :-] That's because I'm trying to go in a new direction...'pancake free'...at least for now! In fact, 'new direction' is what's on my mind almost all the times these days.
      I'm thinking about new direction in my Etsy shop...maybe in the direction of making baby clothes...Yes! The same baby clothes direction I've been trying to avoid forever! LOL I'm thinking about it though, because I've been getting a lot of requests about whether I made this or that for babies, and if I would please make this or that for their little one!...Hmmmm...You don't have to hit 'me' over the head with a hammer!! ^_^ So.....I'm seriously thinking about it. I'll keep you posted.
      I'm also thinking about new in terms of the city...New York City! :-) I have fond memories, and friends, and family there. And lately all of the above...memories, friends, and family...have been on my mind a lot!...


      Things are changing so fast in the world, aren't they?!...Thankfully, not all of the changes have been bad. :-) Some have been very, very good in fact...New!...in a good way!...I'm not gonna get into the details too much, but suffice it to say that all of my fond memories are keeping me in a kind of low-key mood. 


      Speaking of low-key, hubby and I spent almost all of our Saturday listening to the Jehovah's Witness Convention, on tape (or DVD, MP3, I don't know what-ING LOL!!). Because of my health a few months back, at the time of the summer convention, we weren't able to actually attend. :-( So, we were given the tapes of the 3-day event, and we have been listening to every wonderful spiritual morsel!!! :-)
      I wish I could share it with all of you, but I can't! ^_^ I'm sure you can get tons of the information on the website though...JW.org...If you haven't been there, do yourself a favor and GO! :-] There's tons of info on every subject imaginable!! There's even audio recordings and downloads!!...Also NEW stuff!! :-) ... Okay. Enough 'jabbering on'! :-))
      Back to 'New'!...


      I got a new sale in my Wuglyees Etsy shop this morning! :-] That happens so 'few and far between' nowadays that I can't help but get excited about it!! ^_^ ... Although, I must admit, I'm fighting the desire to hang up a 'Gone Fishin' sign!! LOL...
 

      With the economy the way it is these days, very few people seem to wanna spend money on 'unessentials'...and I totally understand! So I've got to figure out how to make some new...'essential!...items! ^_^ That's why I'm mentally playing with the idea of baby clothes and items.
      Anyway!! :-) ... I've got a 'new' Sunday meeting to attend right now...Oooo! I'm running very late!!! O_O ... Catch up with you later!!...Oh Yeah!...Have a good day, Everybody!! :-)

Some Days

Some days the things that happen
leave you craving for some more.
Some days the things that happen
heave you running for the door.

Some days it's good to know
that you are stronger than you think.
Some days it's good to know
your eyes will automatically blink.

Some days you need some color
because you're done with black and white.
Some days the color comes
and flies you higher than a kite!

Some days just leave you wanting
something more and something new,
while others make you happy
that you do the things you do!
And make you happy you are 'YOU'!

Varied Variegated!


       Nothing silly to talk about today....And no 'Ramen Noodle' talk either! ^_^ Today I'm just gonna share my excitement about my new DMC variegated thread! I got it in the mail the other day, and went to work on making a couple of new flowers. :-)
       But before I show you the new variegated thread flowers, let me show you the difference in these variegated threads. The blue one below was one of the boutonniere flowers I made with the variegated thread hubby bought me as a gift the other day...


       ...And so are these two...



       I really like them!...So when I ordered the new thread I thought it would be sorta like these, but just in different shades of color!...But boy was I wrong!!!...The new variegated thread is soooooooo different!!
       The one below is called "Tropical Waters"...
 



       I have to tell you that my photographs don't do it justice AT ALL! The variegation of this thread is soft and subtle...almost like the highlights that you put in a person's hair!...


    My camera is picking up only the blue of the flower, but to the eye it has subtle lavender and mint green shades too!...
 

        And this one (below) is another one of the colors I got in the mail. It's called "Toasted Almond"...



     I wish the camera could really show it to you!!...
 


     Click on the photo and look at it enlarged though. It might give you a better idea of why I'm so excited!! :-)


     The only problem is that I only got one small skein of each of the three colors I got! O_O The other color, "Stormy Sky", is the one I'm gonna make a boutonniere out of today. But then I'm gonna have to wait until I get some extra money to order some more!
     It's a bit more expensive than my other threads, and my local yarn and thread shops don't carry it! I think it's new to them too!!...I can see though, that this is gonna make a great boutonniere series in my shop!!...Maybe I can get DMC to send me some free threads...in exchange for some excited advertising! ^_^ What do you think?!...Will it work?! Ha! Ha!
      Anyway!...I'm off to get some breakfast, do some talking about my God, Jehovah, to anybody that wants to listen, watch the women's tennis final at Wimbledon, and do some crocheting. That's my Saturday in a nutshell!! ^_^ What are you up to today?!...Have a good one, Everybody!! :-)

I wish I was a seahorse

I wish I was a seahorse;
with a curly floating tail,
and I lived in open oceans,
not in Massachusetts' rainy jail.

I could waste a lot of time,
look for things that I could bite.
Oh, but how would I crochet?
Sing with bubbles, also write?

Okay, I guess I'll be a Wug;
Make my flowers, jewelry too.
I can always just be 'wet'.
In this town, easy to do!
