Hello Strangers!! :-) It's been so long since I posted a blog!!!...Frankly, I haven't even been reading blogs...or even been online that much! Don't even ask!!!! UGH! O_O But I felt a bit better today, and I had some new bags I wanted to get your views on, so I decided to make some time for ME!!!! (GET BACK, LIFE!!!! Grrrrrr!)
I'm not gonna get into the numerous things that have kept me off-line. None of which are 'smile-worthy', or even 'talk-about-it' worthy!! But I am gonna tell you that...Oh YES!...I still found time to crochet...even with a painful 'wing'! {I threw something out in my shoulder/arm, and have been dealing with it for a while now.}...Okay, so I told you about one of the things anyway that has kept me off line! ^_^
ANYWAY!!! :-)) I've been using up a lot of my random colored leftover cotton embroidery thread, making tote bags!! :-)
Don't look at the colors too close...You might go blind!! LOL Besides which...if you look at the tote bag too close you might start trying to figure it out!! Ha! Ha! It would be a massive waste of your viewing time!! :-)) It has five different colors...the handles are not matching...there's a ribbon...and a lining that I did myself! *Blink, Blink!!* O_O YES I DID!!! LOL
And, even if I do say so myself, the lining didn't come out too bad...although actually it's not really lining material. It's made from a pair of curtains I had laying around, not being used. Now.....they are being used!! ^_^
The bag below doesn't have a lining yet. I like the bag so much...even with all of the wacky colors...that I'm gonna wait and buy some material to actually match the bag. CUTENESS, HERE WE COME!! ^_^
And NO!...I didn't stop there! ^_^ In fact I've made about seven bags since I saw you last. And I'm in the midst of another one right now! :-) The problem is that I like crocheting them more than I like listing and marketing them!! :-)) So, if you're interested in taking one of my bags off of my hands for about $25.00, just let me know. Then you can save me some trouble with all of that listing and linking and stuff!! ^_^
My favorite of these bags 'IS' actually online!!...
And I did the lining in this one myself too!! ^_^ And YES...that's a good thing!! ^_^ I watched a couple of Youtube videos on putting linings in crochet bags! Also "how-to" videos on putting zippers in! (But, so far, no zippers have inspired me that much!! LOL)
In other news, my mother-in-law has started her move into her new home! YAY!! ^_^ She's doing it a little at a time. And she LOVES it!!...She is also a Bible student of mine! ^_^ [It has been a joy sharing my love for Jehovah God with her, and seeing her light up as she learns new things! :-)]
Also, I am the 'UNO' card Queen of our household!!! ^_^ Just saying!!!...Hubby and I have been playing almost every day lately...to pass the time, and help me not think about my arm pain...and OTHER stuff!! So far I play and just wait for the inevitable exclaim: "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!!!! UGH" LOL...Being the Queen, as I am!, it makes me giggle every time, and exclaim in reply: "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!" LOL...Not really, but still!!!! ^_^
Okay, off I go! On a good day you'll see me again. It could be tomorrow. It could be...Uhhhh...let's just play it by ear, shall we! ^_^ I do miss running my mouth here though!! :-)
Butterfly-ish
I'm feeling butterfly-ish.
Wanna flutter...move real slow.
Wanna wander...mind and body.
Not be fast, and 'on the go'.
I'm feeling like I need
a some quiet time to hang around.
Have everything wrapped up,
and just block out surrounding sound.
I'm feeling butterfly-ish.
Wanna lay in bed till noon.
Wanna have some time to morph.
Need a tree and a cocoon.
Tomorrow they'll be time
to change and modify.
To spread my wings, add color,
like a brand new butterfly.
