What I did this weekend.


Last week was a little insane, what with the hail, thunderstorms and crazy wind and rain.  Then both of us getting sick. Then, this is really weird, but my husband and I were talking on Saturday night and he told me he'd woken up with really weird feeling the night before and couldn't go back to sleep.  Barney had been acting kind of weird earlier that night, barking at something that we couldn't find, and kind of sniffing around the perimeter of the house.  He's pretty predictable so when he does things out of the ordinary we usually pay attention.  We attributed it to the weird weather and went to bed.  The next morning when we went to get coffee, I noticed weird handprints on my car, then saw they were on all the cars on our side of the street.  My car was fine but E's GPS was stolen and after talking to the neighbors it appears over the last couple of weeks there's been some shadiness going on and stuff being taken.  We then realized we actually heard them shut the car door but had thought it was the heater turning off.  Point is, if you have a gut feeling, go with it.  We should have checked it out.  For whatever reason our street seems to be prone to theft in the wintertime and we need to be more diligent about not leaving stuff out.  Still infuriating though.

Regardless, I did get some stuff done.  I'm working on some felt flowers for the Halloween store, this is new for me so probably going to be a little frustrating for a while.  Pretty much everything I'm working on right now is new stuff, that can be really hard.  I need at least one project to work on that I'm comfortable with, and I don't have one right now and that can make it a little hard to stay motivated.  Anyway, I think I finally have the Heart Garland figured out, I listed the first one in the Etsy store this morning!  I'm hoping to finish a few more this week.  I also finally finished my poor niece's doll that I've been promising her for months.  I hope she likes her!   I was hoping for more napkins but the screens need to be remade (they should be a little bigger) so I'm not sure if there will be any more before V Day, we'll see.   Regardless, here are some pics of things accomplished.=)
