I’m feeling hollow today…
… a little crabby.
More than a little crabby…
…positively creepy.
Something has stuck in my craw.
I feel like I couldn’t have heard right.
Like I heard something laughable.
Something that makes me want to stick my head in the weeds.
Something irritating.
Something eye-poppingly mind-boggling.
Everything feels topsy-turvy.
But I take comfort in good company.
I told myself THIS would be the year I would finish ALL of my unfinished objects (UFOs) before I let myself start any new projects. Okay, I would finish FIVE quilts before starting anything new. Well, considering that in a good year, I make one twin-size quilt and about six baby quilts, maybe that goal […]
You young people probably won’t believe it, but once upon a time, when we went to the doctor’s office, we could not bring an endless supply of entertainment with us in a device the size of a slice of toast. While we waited to be called, the only thing we could do was read whatever […]

These are wonderful.
Thank you! Some of them are not so good technically, but their message comes across anyway. 🙂
A terrific post–positive (in light of things…), with some humor (which is sorely needed…). Thanks for making me smile this morning.
You are welcome. I am trying to do a post a day for November, but really didn’t feel like saying anything yesterday. Then those little crabs gave me the idea. It was very therapeutic to put together. 🙂
Now, this is fun–and it made me smile, which was no mean feat! I bet it lifted your spirits to put it together!
Yes, who could be unhappy while looking at those little crabs with their expressive eye stalks! 🙂
Well said…and very clever. Thanks for the much-needed humor.
