My Weekend

It has been so hard for me to find the time lately to get create and think of something to write about for my blog. Sometimes I blame my husband as I will just get settled down to write something and he will complain about me being on this computer so I sign off and mindlessly watch TV with him. It really does annoy me at times, but I feel guilty if I am on the computer and it's bugging him... I could do more "blogging" in the morning but I have been very busy lately. Him and I do quite a bit together on the weekends. Dinner & a movie most of the time. If I'm not working, I'm having FUN. So I wouldn't trade that for anything! Friday I went with my girlfriends to lunch and shopping. My friend Brenda has to get a dress for her son's wedding so we looked. They are funny gals. Some of my funnest times include these silly girls. Yesterday I went to another auction with my sister. I got some amazing photographs and old postcards I'll be able to use for my charms. I love this picture here. I think it will make an adorable charm. I just need to think of a great quote or saying to put with it. I also got a chicken. It's really pretty funny how I came to "collect" chickens. I didn't do it on purpose but I guess I'm drawn to them now. My sister gave me a large embroidery picture that I framed with chicken wire. So before I moved here it was the focus of attention in my other kitchen so everyone just assumed I collected chickens and I started getting them from friends & family as gifts. Now I have a large collection. I couldn't turn this one away as I only paid $5 for her and she is old and adorable! I love her little purple bottom! I also got this neat honey jar (I'm guessing that is what it is since it has bee hives & bees all over it.)

I didn't realize it was chipped and thought I was only paying $2 for it but ended up paying $5 for it. Inexperienced auction goer that I am. But I was excited when I got it home and found that I may be able to use it as a mold for my PMC. Check out the detail. I especially love the bottom here as it's all indented with the bees & flowers. Now I just need to get some more clay. (Expensive hobbies) Maybe one day I'll make some money at them to help offset that! ;) Today me & my hubby will go to church & then to lunch. I'll go to the grocery store & I'm sure I'll have my little old friend visit this afternoon...at least I hope he comes in the afternoon as this evening I will be "vegging" in front of the TV having my own little Oscar party, popcorn & all!~
