Yay! It's the weekend!

I love weekends. I slept in, got donuts, and hit some yard sales. Who could ask for more?
I woke up to this lovely creation by Mimi:

The story goes something like this: Moe gets poop everywhere, and I am not happy with him! :) I even have mean looking eyebrows! She said I am yelling, which I can see...especially with all that poop!

The author:

Poor Moe. :) Subject of many stories involving wrong-doings and discipline.

Handsome Ralphie. He is so cute. He is losing his puppy look and getting that "mature" look. Can't you tell? ;) He is blurry in this last shot because he kept trying to attack the camera string.

And finally....I found a good bargain this morning. 4 kitchen chairs for $5 a piece. They are growing on Kevin. He is unsure of the color. I loooove it!
They are in terrific condition for being so old! I haven't investigated the brand or year yet. I wiped them down, and put them at the table. Maybe later this evening I will find our more about them. What do you think?

Have a great weekend!

Weekend Fun!

I have been hoarding felted wool sweaters for some time now. I knew the right project would come my way, and I would put them to good use. They are easy to come by. Check any thrift store or yard sales, and you will find wool sweaters that have been felted. You can cut them into strips and they will not fray.

Then the fun begins! You can make a rug! Go here for EXCELLENT instructions.

It is super soft and durable. I haven't decided how big it will be.

Yes, today Ralphie came home. He is the most attended to dog ever. Poor thing. The kids follow him everywhere, and are constantly trying to "take care" of him. ("take care"=animal torture by toddlers)

I took Ralphie out to use the potty, and while we were out there we discovered a momma kitten with a bunch of newly born kittens. I have never heard a cat make the sound she did. At first I thought she was a skunk. She is a nice cat, and seems fine with human contact, but she isn't too sure of Ralphie.

Anyone want a cat? Free to good home.

Good Things!

This sweet picture was taken yesterday after Miles said "take a picture of Daddy holding me like a baby." :)

I found this chair at Goodwill for $5. At first I thought I would paint it, but now I find it charming and would never consider it! Ignore all the clutter on the desk. Despite my best efforts, it is always a mess.

Cool, huh?

Not much else is going on here. I think I am going to have a surgery soon, and I am nervous about that. I am glad tomorrow is Friday. Looooove weekends and Fridays!
