I'm Getting Organized

I've always known that "Whether you're a newspaper journalist, a lawyer, a doctor. You have to organize your thoughts." (Frederick Wiseman) I'm pretty good at organizing in a lot of areas but then in others not so much. One of those not so much areas is my knitting and crochet projects. I often find soooo many patterns that I want to make and get started on them before I've finished 5 others. Sad, I know right.
As fate would have it, while browsing thru the beautiful pieces in my Etsy team member's shop, I came across an awesome gift I could make for myself to begin organizing my crochet projects. It's a Crochet Hook Organizer Case. This creative clutch purse-size case allows me to travel easy, organized and in the color of my life!
Vicki was so sweet in sharing the pattern with me; digging through "3 rooms full of stuff" looking for it, as it was an old pattern her son found. She scanned the copy and sent it to me and I started it immediately. Close to finishing it, I found a little box with some old purple costume jewelry pieces. The flower button was once a ring! As soon as I saw it I knew it was gonna be the perfect accent for it.
So now I have a Purple-tastic case organizer that holds up to 28 different sized hooks, needles, scissors, stitch markers, tape measurer, pens and so much more!! I am too proud!! :-D
You won't see me too often without it now but I will admit, you will probably see me with a new project, yes, still with 5 others unfinished. Don't judge me, I'm a work in progress!

Thirsty's Bar and Grill - Lilburn, GA

This place has disgusted me for the last time! They are always short staffed because the owner can't keep employees! She is rude and does not know how to treat people. 

On a Saturday afternoon for a ladies poker tournament (102+ players) they only had 2 1/2 servers there;  who, of course, were new!!!! I say 2 1/2 because one of them  couldn't understand English! There was over an hour wait for food. And I never received my food 3 1/2 hrs later when I was ready to leave. But the icing on this disgusting cake is that I ordered 3 of the drink specials but asked that they not be brought at the same time.  2 1/2 hrs later when I decided to get another drink I go to the bar and the bartender, Wendy,  pulls out a readymade drink from the cooler. It was obvious that it had been sitting there for a while and was watered down because there was water on top. I asked that she make me another drink. Instead, Wendy drank from my drink and told me it was not watered down and then handed it back to me!!!! I was totally appalled that she did that and thoroughly pissed! Never again will I go back there!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sometimes The Boss Has To Spoil Herself

Delicate Hands' Designs' owner, Felicia (yes, I'm speaking in third person), aka FeMi (fee-me), is an aquarius, loves everything purple and the Carolina Panthers. Sometimes, she just has to spoil herself. 

"The Aquarius" paracord bracelet is made of purple and grey/silver 550 paracord with a metal charm showing the symbolic emblem of the water bearer. Felicia added a little flare to her bracelet spraying the purple cord with glitter. "She's so extra!" LOL

Felicia was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Although raised in Decatur, Georgia from the age of 10 and she's been living there ever since, she's quick to tell everyone she's from NC. There's just something about that place she can't let go. 

I suspect more to come from her. Tennis, poker, motorcycles, knitting and crochet are among her favorite activities. Stay in touch to see what follows next!

*** July 7, 2013 ***

Well, as aforementioned, Felicia received 2 new accolades in 2 of her favorite hobbies, tennis and poker. 

The Mizzell family is very competitive! Each year they participate in sports challenges both on and off the field/court. At this year's family reunion there was a flag football, bowling and tennis challenge.  You can see above how Felicia fared out. ALL SMILES!!

 

About 3-5 times a week, Felicia finds time to break away from designing and play tournament Texas Hold'em poker with the largest poker league in the southeast, Interstate Poker Club. There she folds, bluffs, calls, raises and goes all-in to the final table! She recently joined the elite Royal Flush Club when she "flopped it"; A, K, Q of diamonds with J, 10 in her hand!! It doesn't get any sweeter than that!

If you're in Atlanta and you're a poker player, look up Interstate Poker Club for one of their 30+ games/day at www.interstatepokerclub.com and look for FeMi at the final table!! But be careful, her poker face is unrecognizable! *wink*

Fans Remember Deacon Jones

I'm actually not a St. Louis Rams fan however, I thought it was quite interesting that I designed these bracelets today, about an hour before hearing on the radio the announment of Deacon Jones' death, for a fan who ordered them last week.

The  article below shows how much he's touched the lives of so many. 

RIP Deacon Jones
