I need to get back to the butterflies. I crocheted 1 soft Caron pink one, am edging it in raspberry Red Heart Super Saver now. I need to take the bodies onto Grannies, then take the wings onto bodies, and tack down the wings, so they don't flop and look like dead leaves wiggling in the air, making it very, very difficult to distinguish what in the heck is that pink thing supposed to be?????
Have a Gr8 day, Everybody! My Dsis and Dbril live in Utah. She called the radio station, won 2 free tickets to a Drag Race, so I replied to her email, to ask her if they're at the Salt Flats in Utah or not. She said they haven't been at drag races since they were in their 20's. (They didn't know each other back then, either!) Oh, I found a photo of Dsis with her "ex" husband, who gave me his business desk, in my bunny room. Dsis and he became friends, after the divorce, but he passed away, from something he KNEW he was dying from. Dsis was devastated, as to how he came to her, to be friends, but her DH helped support her throughout dealing with the death of "ex". I saw his photo, thought about him, how he's gone now, but am very happy he was man enough, to care enough, to come to Dsis, to BE friends, near the end. Anyway, it's sort of a bittersweet love story. Dbil is so good to Dsis. What a love story there, too! I also found a photo of Dsis and me, taken about 12 - 13 years ago. Oh, my! She was still married to "ex" at the time. Her hair was an "I'm having a bad hair day," hairdo. When she saw the photo, she immediately got a hair makeover, and got so cute! I'm heavier in the photo, which was nice to see the difference in my appearance, too. The nice thing is, my pretty eyes and smile don't ever change, even if the scales go up or down. I never thought about that before, but you CAN be heavier and still look friendly to others. I'm rambling, I'm tired, stayed up late, couldn't get to sleep, tossed and turned, but was up around 8 a.m. So I'm rambling because I'm on the rummy tired side.
At least I don't need to preform brain surgery today!
