#Insects #Handmade #Folksy

I saw on a thread on the Folksy forum about Bugs. Now as I am in the June Bugs listing club I thought `How appropriate`, must be a sign. Well probably wasn`t but I decided to go with it anyway as so many of the things on there were so pretty. See now you don`t think insects, bugs, can be pretty, do you? Well they can. I almost added a `so there` at that point but didn`t because I thought it would be childish and I`m a grown up, sort of. I know some would argue about that one, me being grown up, that is. I`m waffling aren`t I? Yep. Oh dear.
Concentrate. Okay, went to the cinema yesterday afternoon and saw `Kung Fu Panda`. Not my choice but I really enjoyed it, it was very funny, I even laughed out loud. Ate far too much popcorn as usual. Don`t know what it is about the cinema popcorn, but I love it. The children enjoyed their drinks, popcorn and sweets too and they loved the film, which of course is most important as it was for them.
Did a little bit more finishing and some more crocheting. Started a new lacy scarf, unbeaded this time, before I finished the last one. That one is cream cotton with amber beads, looking very pretty but quite hard going. Still I will finish it, just want to do this pink one as I have a new idea for holding it together, that will look very pretty.
Nothing of mine on here today as I don`t have any insects. You will probably have noticed that if I don`t have anything to go with the theme then I don`t include anything. Doesn`t mean you can`t pop over to my shop to see what I have listed today.

I saw a sunset the other night
it was such a beautiful sight
that this poem went round in my head
even after I`d gone to bed.

The other night the world had a rosy glow,
as the sun was setting pink and low.
The few clouds were just pink streaks
I haven`t seen that sight for weeks.
Nature is such a wonderful thing
it can really make my heart sing.
Thw beauty of the colours at sunset,
although endless cloud can make me fret.
The colours of an amazing sunrise,
when I should be abed, others advise.
Mother Nature provides a stunning array
of amazing beauty, each and every day.
It`s there for us if we take the time to see
where else can you be in the gallery for free?
A storm that booms and lights up the sky,
the crashes and lightning as it passes by.
Take a little time to see it at it`s best,
it doesn`t do any harm to take a little rest.
The world now it moves so fast
precious moments are soon past.
So just stand for a moment to see,
what is right in front of you and me!!

#Orange #FolksyFriday

A thread on folksy stated that orange is this seasons colour. I don`t know whether it is or not but orange is such a lovely cheerful colour. Like yellow it makes me think of summer, although autumn colours often include orange. Hmmm... So which is it then, summer or autumn? Not really sure. Actually it`s good for both because it depends upon the colours you put with it.
Had another busy day yesterday. I made a lasagne to feed the grandchildren. I like to make it in advance so that I have the time to spend with them. Also the youngest is only 2 yrs old and does need to be kept track of. After making that in the late morning I did some finishing. A blue, multi toned, beaded summer scarf is now ready to be photographed and two headbands/earwarmers as well to go on the website. This years headbands/earwarmers, in the feathery polyester, also have crocheted patterns on them. Makes them look nice and lifts them out of the ordinary. I spent far too long on the computer this morning so I didn`t get as much done as I had hoped. Never mind today is another day and I will see what I get done today. Although I am skiving off this afternoon and taking the middle two grandchildren to the cinema where I will eat far too much popcorn and have too much fizzy drink. Don`t touch either normally but it feels obligatory at the cinema. Oooops, waffling again.

ENJOY!!!!

Today everything`s fine, I got my mojo back
so now it`s okay because I`m back on track.
Not quite sure what a mojo is
I`m hoping it`s a bit of zizz
to make the brain cells zing
and the rhyming words bring.
It was probably the shopping
that had my brain hopping
all those people in the way
why did they go out that day?
Won`t think about that any more
else the brain cells will hit the floor.
I`ll think instead of orange zest
we all know that will be best.
Orange is so bright and cheery
bound to revive when you are weary.
Supposed to help the creative urge,
the very sight should give a surge,
of ideas flooding in to your brain
we love feeling that again and again.
Quite a popular colour we find,
if folks buy it we don`t mind.
Because we`ll just make lots more,
so that they can fly out of the door.

June Bugs #Handmade #Folksy

The new listing club started yesterday. We are officially June Bugs. Sounds about right as we scurry around trying to fit everything in and like so many bugs we are very hard workers. I hope you enjoy seeing these new listings, I think they are fabulous. There were a lot of folks listing yesterday, I was amazed by how fast the thread grew. The ones on here are only the tip of the iceberg, a mere handful. If you want to see more of them you`ll have to visit the Folksy forum and see for yourselves. It`s definitely worth looking each day then you`ll be able to snap up the item you want before someone else grabs it.
Yesterday I went to the city to get a microphone and webcam. Just before I left my grandaughter, popped in to see me and decided to come too. Naturally it took a bit longer as we had to divert into some clothes shops too, I`m such a soft touch when it comes to the grandchildren. She went home with a few bags of her own. We also had quite a few laughs along the way and lots of chat too. She is a lovely girl and is even happy to venture into the city with me, which must be very uncool.
I did get an all singing, all dancing webcam with built in microphone and didn`t even have to use the software. As soon as I plugged it in, the computer found some and sorted it all for me. How good was that?
After returning from the city I babysat the two little ones for a couple of hours, they are so cute and cuddly. We had a game and spent some time in the garden after i cleared up some moon sand the littlest one had got into and spread on the bedroom floor.
Okay enough waffle. Do you notice that now I do attempt to check the endless waffle? I think thats very virtuous of me, especially as I could fill the page with no problem at all. Better stop now and write the rhyme.

ENJOY!!!

I`m sitting here thinking
my brain seems to be sinking,
right down into my boots
now there`ll be lots of hoots.
Can`t seem to think of a rhyme
my brain`s really gone dead this time.
I`d like to try and be witty
it`s not working with this ditty.
Just tell me what to write
something that won`t be a sight.
I was going to write about bugs
maybe they really want hugs.
I`m not making any sense
so now I`m getting tense.
When I need it, where`s my inspiration?
I think it may have gone on vacation.
I think the sun has numbed my brain,
will I ever be able to think again?
Just what is going on?
My rhyming skills are gone.
So just this time for today
maybe I`ll go out and play
and give up on this rhyme
perhaps this one and only time!!
