Roses, blue roses everywhere

I am making roses to give out at Gram's service next Saturday and so far I have 24 done and I need to make a total of at least 100. The good thing is I have all week and since I make my own work hours and can decide what I'm working on I shouldn't have any problem getting them done. The bad thing is that I'm getting tired of blue already, that is grams favorite color, and I still have 76 to go. I'm thinking that I'm going to throw in some pink and maybe purple as she liked both of those colors also. I'm also going to make some butterflies and maybe a few bookmarks for the men. She is here with me all the way and even sent me her pattern for the roses because I couldn't remember the beginning of it.
      I was featured in a treasury on etsy yesterday and have been getting more views over the last week. I think for now I'm going to keep both shops and add things as I get them done.
      I bought a fake American girl doll yesterday to use as a model for clothing that Rosie says I need to make and sell to other little girls like her. I'm also going to get some more dragons and other animals knit and crocheted to post as Isaiah says boys like them, he says dinosaurs and monsters are cool and so do his buddies so that's what I'm going to work on. Of course there are always babies being born so I'm going to continue to make baby afghans and I'm going to add some light weight bonnets and maybe booties. I'm also thinking of another line of knit, crochet but not ready to post that just yet.
      The only thing is to do all of these things I need to start getting up in the morning instead of sleeping until noon or later.This is going to be hard because my time clock is set to nights and when I try to go to bed before 2 or 3 in the morning I just lay there and don't sleep, this wouldn't be a problem except that my eyes get tired and I can't keep working sometimes so it's wasted hours. I will figure this out one way or the other either get stronger glasses or make myself go to bed and get up with Bruce and stay up to get these projects done.
      Oh well off to make a few more roses. Happy Mayday, Happy Beltane

        Goodnight & Blessed Be
