Yellow Rose's Garden

Let's start with ... Happy birthday mummm!

I stare a blank screen and cursor flashing at me while I try to remember what it was I wanted to write about. Usually I've had an idea in mind and when I finally get around to sitting down, I forget half of it and stare somewhat goofy faced wondering what I was doing! Scary innit, but that's what getting older and letting your mind go lax can do!

Here's one of the things on my mind today. Does anyone on my FL crochet? Sew? Do needlepoint or cross-stitch? I know there are communities out there to discuss that kind of thing, but this is my LJ and I'm asking! Anyone do other arts and craft work? So, discuss!

Every time I go to a hobby/craft store, my husband's worst nightmare, I think, is don't let her find a NEW hobby! This is list of what I dabble in:
Cross-stitch
plastic canvas needlepoint
embroidery
jewelry making and other bead work
fabric painting
Dollhouse miniatures
Making doll clothes, accessories, and furniture
floral arrangements
Candle making
soap making (melt and pour, I'm not ambitious enough to try cold processing nor do I want to work with lye)

There are probably piles of things out in the cabinets needing homes and screaming... MAKE SOMETHING WITH ME!!!

I never really picked up on crochet or knitting, but evidenced by the mention of doll things, I prefer working in small scale. That remind me, I need to ask Mom if she still has that loom set and if she does and wants to get rid of it to send it out.

Something to think on for today:
Your dreams are more than just random firings of the brain, CATHY. They can indicate unresolved issues, stresses, deep desires, and lost memories. Further, they can prove instrumental to understanding yourself, and even in solving problems. Many advocate keeping a dream journal, given the power within your subconscious and all that can be learned from it. Consider examining your dreams of late. Analyze them to see if there is something you need to recognize.

I had this dream the other night... and I think I need to write it up. Sunday might be a good time.

( Things that have been hiding in my e-mail: )

I realized that there are several notifications in my mailbox for the random facts meme, so I need to get my finger out of my ear and get that done! Also have some comments to answer for LJ that have been sitting there a while.

So, I went a little silly....  and took a pile of quizzes just to see what would happen.

I'm Cathy and
I'm a Bluefin Tuna.


Cathy, based on the results of the quiz, the fish you're closest to is a Bluefin Tuna!

Often referred to as the Porsche of the sea, you can reach speeds of over 50mph, whilst swimming just beneath the water’s surface. You are warm-blooded, which is rare among fish, and have incredible migratory ability. You can be found in a large range of habitats -- occupying the cold waters around Newfoundland and Iceland to the warm waters of the tropics. You can grow to 14ft in length, weigh up to 1500 pounds, and live up to 30 years, whilst enjoying a diet of small fish, squid and crustaceans.

Unfortunately, you are also under critical threat from overfishing. As a popular seafood, you can be found in restaurants around the world - especially in sushi dishes - and you are a highly prized sports fish. But as demand exceeds supply, your population levels are endangered. This is reflected in your price as you are considered one of the world’s most valuable fish - a fellow bluefin sold for $172,400 at a Tokyo fish market.

While bagging and tagging the second half of September ( I finished September 2005), I found The Nerd, Geek or Dork Test. It's still active here if anyone wants to take it. I was an Outcast Genius.

I finished cutting up a log into a post. I have another piece to start.

Now, for your amusement, Beatles Baby. This is a video of a little one around two singing the Beatles classic "Hey Jude."
