I am also making earrings. It's on the list. I am busy, busy. I got my placement for the Craft Show today. It's a good space. Better, I think, than any others I have had. I know, I said they were all good, to a degree, but this one I like.
I am thinking of getting a friend for Francine. I haven't told her yet. She may not like it...or she could be thrilled. I'll have to wait for just the right moment to break it to her.
I'm watching Bones. Nothing is on and I'm really not really watching this. I don't want to get started watching anything good as I really need to make lots more stuff tonight.
We got some Christmas cards from the VFW in the mail today. They are pretty, but will be backups. So if you get a VFW one...that means I never found anything else that I liked.
BFFRMcS has this great job where she gets to go through and sort out...stuff! She asked me today if I needed some knitting needles. Well of course I do! I mean...after all...
I met BFFRMcS in Thermopolis one day many years ago when Husband and I were at Mac's Bar. She and her BFF, CJ (who became ours as well) were travelling through Thermop in route back to Texas. I didn't actually talk to them at the bar...but Husband did. Husband and I waved 'bye' and on the way home...Husband said he had invited them out for dinner and possibly stay the night.
I said..."You are shitting me! Why do you always do that!!"
"Well"...he said, "Number one...they are from Texas and two, they seem really nice."
"Whatever, it's your deal. Have a nice visit," I whined.
That night was the beginning of an amazing friendship. A moment hasn't passed since that I haven't felt that Rene and I have known each other every second of our lives. She has been an angel to me...in more ways than one.
They stayed a few days and then had to leave. We talked about everything...arts and crafty shit (surprise!) and she had showed me her crocheting that she was carrying with her. Finally, after a few days, they just had to walk out the door to go home and after hugs and kisses and promises of 'see you soon'...they left. Naturally I was bawling like a baby. I walked back into the living room...and there...on the coffee table/trunk...was her crochet hook. I looked at Husband and said...they'll be back!! I called Mac's and told them if Rene and CJ stopped in, tell them to wait, cuz I had something of hers. We were headed into town to do our routine errands anyway and hurried over to Mac's. There they were! What else could we do but have a few .rounds for the road....and then head back to our house for one more night of laughing and eating. Of course we went though the same farewell scene the next day...but it wasn't as painful because we knew the future. A crochet hook and knitting needles.
What a ride...........
I'm going to get busy now. Have a nice night...
