There's a fair amount of random coming up. Not much happened this weekend to warrant a separate post. Millie is doing better but is far from "cured". She has lots of quirky antics she employs to get a drink. She still needs some help. I threw some treats in her water and roared at her antics to try and get them out without actually drinking from the dish. Crazy dog!
I had a headache Friday. Not too bad but it did progress. By Saturday morning it was bordering on migraine status. I had a few errands I wanted to run. My first stop at Deanne's studio (in case I felt like hooking later). I did get some pretty rose colored wool but I should have stayed home. I was beginning the queasy stage of migraine. But it was the end of the Fibre Arts Festival plus Deanne had just launched her new book venture.
The illustrations are her rugs! I peeked at a few pages but decided I better not stick around. Can you imagine this ......"Nice book Deanne" and then throw up on one! I will grab one this week when I can truly appreciate it.
I had one other necessary stop at my friend Stephanie's shop. She was displaying some of my rugs and one just sold on etsy so I wanted to get it ready to be shipped. I walked in and the combo of the smells of strong fresh brewed coffee and the normally lovely collection of fancy soaps just flipped my migraine queasy stomach. Her husband looked at me and said "are you ok?" I wasn't ! I said No but I need the Santa crow rug......quick!! He grabbed it, threw it at me and I just made it home. Bed for the rest of the day and this morning I felt fine.
Today I found a piece of burlap I had drawn on and discarded. I drew another design over it. Now it just looks like a mess a 2 year old would draw on a wall. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to start hooking I'll be able to sort through the lines. Then I decided we needed a comfort food kind of supper. I made my brown sugar meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I was feeling good and then a friend posted on Facebook that she was making lobster bisque. That kind of took the Oomph out of my nice meal! Lol But it was good, even if it wasn't 5 star restaurant fare.
I guess that's all that barely qualifies as blog fodder. Have a great week ahead :)
Congratulations on selling yet another rug. You are getting to be a sought after hooker. I'm glad that you are feeling better.I hope that you have a nice week.

ReplyDeletei think you got more done while feeling lousy than some typical days here. That book looks beautiful! Congrats on another sale!
ReplyDeleteMigraines can certainly stop the action! ugh. Glad to hear that Millie is still drinking, though not normally.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are feeling better, how I hate migraines. They always have to go through the whole cycle before you can feel normal. Yuck! I am so glad you figured out how to get Millie to get some water in herself. I had to laugh about drawing over a pattern, after that debacle with the 1840 sunflower I wish you good luck.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely Monday
So sorry about that migraine! Congratulations on selling that rug! I love the Snoopy cartoon in the header! I agree completely! Hope Millie will continue drinking for you. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear your feeling better, migraines are so terrible.......congrats on selling the rug, way to go Kim......sweet Millie better keep drinking the water, Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteI used to get those kinds of headaches a lot when I was in my 30s and 40s. Not so much now, thank goodness! But I understand completely how sick they make you feel. Glad you're doing better now. Did you go back and get the book? It looked very intriguing!
ReplyDeleteOh boo I'm sorry you had such a nasty headache. I did get a kick out of the image of you demanding the rug and it being thrown at you. :) So glad Millie is doing better!
ReplyDeleteKim if there is static couldn't she still be possibly getting a shock from the water. We are all static electric-ie here until we turn on the humidifier on the furnace. Glad you are feeling better. I would take your Brown Sugar Meatloaf and mashed potatoes any old ding dang day!
