Live, From the Pro Shop

It is 9:38 am, I've been here about an hour, balanced my cash, got all my work stations set up the way I like them, stocked the fridge...

The "old" group started about 9.  One of them always eats lunch here.  He loves my Reuben sandwiches, even took one home to his wife on Thursday.

The friend I've been telling you about...he's here today.  I let him pick out one of my Critters, he picked the patriotic elephant.  :)  I think I'll send him home with the red pig, too, because I was thinking of him when I made it.  His group took off around 9:30, they should be finished between noon and 1.

The Pres. just came in, he's a good guy most the time.  Frank came in, but he and the Pres. got into a little tiff the other day and there's a little tension between them.  Silly boys.  Looks like that group is getting ready to tee off.  My Jack, Pres., Doc (Holy Cow), Chuck and Frank.  This group should be finished about an hour after the first group.

Most of these first groups are my favorites.  They usually always have lunch, especially on the weekends.

There will be another group, they usually start about 11.

I didn't bring any Critter material to work on today.  I was feeling a little melancholy this morning, and couldn't wrap my head around what I felt like working on, so decided to do a little computer work today.

So, that's my morning here at Twin Pines.

Make it a good day and Play Nice!  xxoo

A little absent (minded)...

Wait, what?  Just kidding.  My sweetheart, (from this day on he will be called Mr. Stubborn) has been ill.  Ill enough to take himself to his bedroom across the hall Thursday evening.

And there he's been, except for his sneaking out of his bedroom to do things I'd prefer him not to do when he's sick,  like emptying the dishwasher, folding towels, getting a snack...and doing things he shouldn't even be worried about, like the litter box.  I told him the first day to stay in his room and not germ up the house.  Then he has the nerve to say, "I hope you don't get this."

In my trying to take care of him, all he's done is piss me off & put me in a cranky ass mood.

So...I'm not saying another word to him.  We've been cooped up in here since Friday...well, I "got" to get out of the house to go to the grocery store this morning.  While I was gone he was all over this place.

I have kept myself occupied, during this duration, by watching LOST and making critters.  I know there's at least one new picture up there.  I'm trying a new technique with the eyes, which led to new ideas and techniques in my mind...

He just slipped down the hall again.  I'm going to shut my door a little bit so I don't have to see him when he comes back through.  And then I'm going to finish up a couple of critters, and hopefully my head will not explode before the end of this day.

Why Oh Why

Why do I keep posting here day after day, especially if no one is commenting?  Because just because.  One of these days, someone will stumpleupon or hit one of my tags, and they'll read it and enjoy it so much they will tell all their friends, and pretty soon everyone will be reading it and that will be so cool...  Oh the things I will do!

It is a blowy but very warm day here.  My sweetheart is out golfing in this, or playing cards...30 mph gusts would be hard to play golf in, much harder if you were outdoor playing cards!  Ha, that image just flashed through my head,  seemed funny to me, thought I'd share.

I made three new Critters over the weekend.  Here are 2 of them:  

I made a Dragon, too.  I'll have a pic of it tomorrow.  

xxoo

Pancakes for Supper

A Beautiful Sunset...

Really, what more could a girl ask for?  (Yes that is snow on the ground, but you can still see the grass, so it doesn't really count)

Tonight, I am working on the modified project of the project I was working on last night.

It's about time for us all to settle in back here in my bedroom.  Time for Karma to start acting like a little spoiled pup.  As soon as he gets back here, she goes into spaz mode.  Ah well.  It is what it is.




 

Sleeping

I've not been sleeping well the last few nights.  Maybe staying up too late?  Maybe sleeping to late in the morning (8:00 ish)?  Maybe what I watch before I go to bed, maybe what I listen to while I sleep?  I am not doing anything out of the ordinary.

Does it drive you crazy when someone has earbuds in and you can still hear what they are listening to?  That drives me crazy.  CrAzy.  cRaZy.

These are the times when I repeat to myself, "I love him."

My brain says one thing, my heart says another?

I Love my Weekends

The dilemma today...should I go up to the pro-shop this afternoon, of should I stay home in my Jammie's?  I could wear my Jammie's to the pro-shop, except they are Halloween Jammie pants, and I just don't feel comfortable wearing "seasonal" out of season.  Out in public, anyway (and I do kinda not like wearing them at home, but I like how these fit, just long enough, just baggy enough, perfect).  

My thought in the shower this morning - I am going to make a few simple shirts and pants, in a muslin or a linen fabric, neutral colors... (I feel very strongly about these thoughts I have in the shower).  I've had this thought before, but haven't acted  on it.  I'm not a fashion hound by any means, I'll be the canvas for the accessories.  

Because I just never know what my next phase of creating will be.  Right now I'm happy as can be with my little felt critters, but before that it was handbags (big ones), and I was seriously looking into making puppets.  I went through a "feed bag" stage, making what I thought were very cool dresses and jackets, and I did sell a few things...but my point here is that I just never know when a thought is going to occur to me to try something new.  

And I really love some of the handmade jewelry I've been seeing on Pintrest!  

There's a new picture in the photo stream up there.  If anyone were reading this, I'd offer up a shout out to the first one that picked out the new one, but that's kinda moot, for the moment anyway.  

(This is the new one)

(I just figured out how to put a pic there.  Woot for the noob!)

It makes my weekend so much more pleasant when the weather is so nice.  Especially in January.  He can golf, I have the house to myself.  Love That.

Tomorrow morning, I will have coffee while I go through the Sunday paper.  My favorite part of the weekend.   I especially like it when I don't actually have to go outside to get it, but I do now and then, it's not like I'm spoiled or anything.  

I have another elephant to put together this afternoon, for one of my daughter's friends that I really like.  Another friend of hers is crocheting a gray winter hat for me, she may get this little gray elephant in return.  

That's probably enough rambling for today.  Enjoy your weekend!
