Here I am actually following through on my ideas for crafts. You know I have to say, I used to think that crafts, sewing and other projects really were going to be an alternate to being online. In other words, they were going to be things I did off in a whole different part of the house, after I turned the computer off and didn't think of it again till I turned it back on the next time I was going to do " internet stuff". (See- no connection there.) Turns out the internet is a whole wonderful source of information on not only how to make the things I'm interested in, but whole new ideas I never thought, but wish I had. And it tells me what colors and crafts are "in " now so I won't make any of my friends and family a gift ( you may get one if I ever finish a project) that they consider " ugly" or " old fashioned" or even " omg mom, what WERE you thinking?" I hope.

Well hopefully I can also forestall the last bit by showing pictures of ideas of what I might make and you all making COMMENTS which requires you to now read my blog. Hey if you don't read it, you have to take that monkey shaped polyester cushion I'm plannin for ya. I'm kidding...sort of....

I googled monkey shaped cushion. Seriously, just now. Found the following:

                                   apparently this one has a speaker in it..



But my fav is this one:

And just for gratuitious cuteness I found this:

The kitties are laying on, what obviously started out as a heart shaped cushion.

Okay back to the point , you GOTTA read the blog so you can have a say in all the crazy things I am hoping to create and might possibly foist onto you sometime in the future.

LOVE YA!

Fixed my background

Not sure whether my background wasn't working because blogger changed ( AGAIN!) or "The Cutest Blog on the Block" changed. I'll bet they had to change something and I totally missed it. Anyways if anyone is seeing a blank photo bucket notification instead of their background or graphics, try checking the site and redoing it.

Blah blah

Another sick day. Slept most of the day while James cleaned my kitchen ( did I mention lately HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS MAN??!!) The part that I didn't sleep was spent in the bathroom. I sprinted up and down that hallway so much James was seeing me when I wasn't even there. I occasionally staggered out to the living room to offer to beat up whichever neighbor was smoking right outside our window ( no worries James talked me back to bed and convinced me it was not the wisest choice- well half convinced me..) Actually the neighbors were pretty quiet today which I was thankful for. I alternated being sweating and shaking, to shivering and aching. Both at the same time a couple times. Did lots of praying ( and not all the usual "Oh God I'm so sick! Just take me now!" kind. ) which is the ideal thing to do while laying in bed afraid to move because if you do your body will notice and punish you. Watched Dr Who - by the way NOT the best choice to watch when one is feverish- and missed the ending because - yes of course- I was in the (insert nasty word here) bathroom! Propped James lap top on my lap and tried to type with one finger. Grabbed desperately at lap top as it just about slid off the bed. All in all a fun day, filled with exercise and thinking. ( finished four word puzzles in my latest word puzzle book. yes I cheated a couple times ) Got my sense of humor back a couple hours ago, after I had a weepy fit. Now that I have kept down six crackers and glass of gingerale I think it's safe to go off to bed.

But before I go I thought I'd share with you my latest brain fart idea! So I'm stuck in bed a lot. Our bedroom is quite close to the bathroom and laying on our comfy bed with a tv and a few favorite videos is the best way to get through some of my " iffy" days. I always feel guilty though. I feel like I should be doing something important, accomplishing something on my list of " gotta do"s. Don't know why I feel guilty. Its not like I'm enjoying myself, being sick and stuck in bed. But guilt isn't always logical.

Anyways on to my idea. James could possibly be a professional organiser if he wasn't married to me. He has provided me with all sorts of sensible bins that fit stuff in neatly and slide neatly into corners, nooks and crannies. A couple of weeks ago he triumpantly carried home some long under the bed  bins. Do you know what that sweet man did?! He measured under our bed, before he went, to make sure the bins would fit!! Well first I filled a couple with my magazines ( which I'm slowly sorting and tossing many) I have one empty and one almost empty. So today I'm thinking, I wish the side of my bed had more room, so I could have some craft stuff here to do. Maybe some of my hand sewing stuff or crochet projects. And BLINK the light bulb went off and now one bin, the one that slides out on my side of the bed will have some craft projects in it. The ones that don't involve a glue gun or moss or painting. Because that would not be wise and would scare my poor hubby. I'm also sliding another smaller bin or basket onto the bottom shelf of my night stand to hold some puzzle books, simple devotions books

GAGGGHHHHHH!!

Oh sorry just got spammed on messenger by a nasty dirty minded individual and it freaked me out!!!

Yeah too tired now. I'll post more tommorow.
