Weekend,,,here I come....

I got a garden plot….ohhh I am so excited. I got it by my work, so I am going to have to make it extra nice since I know I have a few googlers who want to see my garden. It better be Garden of Eden-like or I will be disappointed.

I hope my weekend is a productive one. I have soo many plans for stuff. I just hope I can actually get a few things done. I did finish a necklace last night, Vernessa came over and Cory came over for a bit, she bought some little mukluks from a garage sale. They are super cute.

A good night for gossip...

I had a rather good night last night. I was so tired when I got home, and the house was already clean. I liked that.

Geri came over last night and we just sat and visited. Then Vernessa came over, we all visited and then Cory came over and she only stayed for a few minutes. It was nice to have them all over and it was nice to have a gossip party. Hee Hee

SO needless to say I didn’t do any beading at all. Geri did pick out a necklace she wants me to make for her, and I will, cause she is a really good friend. I did glue some more decorations onto my loom. It’s starting to look very pretty. I even painted my nails.

The kids were good and my son was even asked to go and work with his dad. So off he went. Just a girls’ night at home.

Let’s see my plans for tonight will be to create….create all night long.

Mellow Mood

I'll play your fav'rite song, darlin'.
We can rock it all night long, darlin'.
'Cause I've got love, darlin',
Love, sweet love, darlin'.
Mellow mood has got me,
So let the music rock me.

'Cause I've got love, darlin'.
Love, sweet love, darlin'.
Quiet as the night,
Please turn off your light.

I'll play your fav'rite song, darlin'.
We can rock it all night long, darlin'.

Strike the hammer while iron is hot.
Strike the hammer while iron is hot.
Strike the hammer while iron is hot.
Open up your heart.
Open up your heart.
Let love come running in, darlin',
Love, sweet love, darlin'.
Love, sweet love, darlin'.

Strike the hammer while iron is hot.
Strike the hammer while iron is hot.
Strike the hammer while iron is hot.
Open up your heart.
Open up your heart.
Let love come running in, darlin',
Love, sweet love, darlin'.
Love, sweet love, darlin'.

Mellow mood has got me, darlin
Let the music rock me, darlin'.
Cause I got your love, darlin'.
Love, sweet love, darlin'.

Love, sweet love, darlin'.

Well I finished my Bob Marley purse, it’s just a little one for trinkets…but I love Bob, so I made the little square of canvass (with Bob’s picture) into a purse. It’s lovely too. That was it for my crafting last night.

Well I was home alone on Friday, Juhnea left to the farm, Karen left to Pense, Joey was out with his friends, and Joe was gone to work. So, I opened the curtains, cleaned up the house, listened to blaring music and enjoyed my time alone. Then Vernessa came to bead...so I finished a big project that took me about a week.

Saturday, Joe and I went to a couple garage sales. He had to go to work, my son got home and started working on the car. Joey worked on that car all weekend, and it was a hard job. Even his dad said he "couldn't do what Joey did". We are both pretty darn proud of that boy.

Karen got home, Vernessa babysat while I went out with my sister Paulette. It was a rather fun night...I got home in a rather beer fuelled stupor. I didn't want to drink, but then after a couple it was pretty tasty.

Sunday, I tried to find my mom to come and have a picnic in the park. She managed to elude me. So Joe, Karen, Karryann, Rod, Christian and myself...went to barbecue some burgers and hotdogs. It was a nice time. We sat on the side of the huge hill in Douglas park, and then went to feed the birds. It was a nice time...I took lots of pictures too.

Juhnea was home when we got home, it was nice to see her. I missed her, even if it was only two days.

That was it, I didn't do any beading this weekend, and I didn't do any spring cleaning. I need to get that done sooner rather than later...

Well the weather outside is frightful…*chuckle*, actually it was a bit rainy, a bit cool, but not frightful.

I had a good night last night, I was tired and a bit grumpy, but it’s over and it’s a new day today. So my new day will be work, home, crafts, homework and cleaning. I have decided to start my spring cleaning this weekend. I have loads of crap and junk lying around everywhere. So I need to reorganize, and un-clutter. I think I will start in my room, finish the upstairs and then move down, floor by floor. I hope I get it done because that is a tall order.

I have finished 4 gecko key chains and one gecko bracelet. I really like the bracelet, I think I may make one for myself.

NEWS FLASH: Scientists have discovered a legless lizard, a toad and a dwarf woodpecker among 14 species believed to be new to science in central Brazil. Is this crazy….plus this area where all these were found is under threat from farming. Plus, there is unknown fish species there…Wow huh? Oh gosh, this blows my mind. I hope to see some pictures.

Buttons

I thought every girl had a small stash of buttons. Imagine my surprise, when I asked Paulette to look at her stash of buttons. "Buttons", was her surprised and shocked answer. She didn't have any buttons. Not even brand new buttons...

I shake my head in disbelief.

She's getting buttons for Christmas...

Here is a picture of the button pin that I did make. My sister Randine sneakily claimed that one for herself.

Mr. Magorim

I watched the most wonderful movie last night…Mr. Magorim’s Wonder Emporium. I like it lots…in my world, if I had a store that is exactly how it would be. It would be magical…

Car Shows and garage sales…

Well I found a few treasures this weekend. I found a three foot Raggity Ann doll, she is lovely. I also found a small two shelf stand… I picked up a couple of beaded necklaces and an old watch.

Joe and I went to the “biggest garage sale” and then just a hop, skip and a jump over to the car show. We stopped at a couple of garage sales and then home we went.

Karen had a couple friends sleep over and I taught them how to bead necklaces. They were fun to teach, eager and ready to learn. We also made cupcakes, and muffins.

Paulette picked me up for coffee on Friday, we ended up going to the Casino, we didn’t win. I had a couple beers, bumped into a couple people, I was home by 11…

I picked up mom for a bit on Sunday. I bought her some awesome-ly cute salt and pepper shakers, little Indian Chief and Maiden. I picked up a small Eiffel Tower for Catherine.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.

Sometimes going green is not so good...

I am sick and I have been sick for the past few days. My son crashed his car. My car was overheating. It’s been a rollercoaster ride for the past week. But all of this doesn’t bother me as much as loosing a close friend. It’s not to death or sickness…it’s to a different way of life. I guess that is putting it politely. I am so mad that she is giving up everything for the “greener pastures”. Funny thing is that I looked up to this person for soo long, and I can’t anymore. It’s so odd how people change, even the closest people you thought would be in your life forever. It’s sad, and makes me sad. But only after everything is said and done and all the damage is done, will she realize what she gave up.

“Put my troubles in a bubble and blow….”

Sniff…Sniff

I am getting a cold and it sucks I don’t feel so great right now. Plus my car over-heated this morning so I was sitting on the side of Lewvan with no heat! Is this any indication of how the day will be? I hope not. After my Joe’s came to rescue me, off to work I went.

Last night I was in a foul mood. Those girls fighting and bickering.. so after a few yells of my own and a couple of chores for them…all was quiet in my home. I hate it so much when they fight, they could be so mean to each other. Truly bugs the heck out of me.

I did finish my Chanel medallion and those big huge earrings. Then I attempted to make another pair and as I was on the third-last fringe, a foundation bead broke. So threw that against the wall, swept up my beads, tossed those suckers out and lay down for the night. You know I am very thankful that I have Joe, cause as soon as he gets home, he can talk to me and somehow make things not seem so bad.

Today the sky is blue, it’s still cold out, but at least we have blue sky…Breathe!! I am sure the day will get better after lunch…and if it doesn’t at least it’s half over and, tomorrow is another day!
