a change is as good...

as throwing your hands up and just giving in

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's raining

I can hear it hitting the fallen leaves

which are all over

they haven't been picked up yet

they may not be this year

the one who does it

isn't able to

husband is having a bit of a hard time right now

he isn't ill or sick or on his last breath

or anything like that

 it's just hard for him to get around and do what he usually does

he usually goes out every five minutes and picks up the leaves as they fall

or so it seems

he's very neat and tidy

and very

very

very

persnickety when it comes to doing things

that's part of what's wrong

but

we won't go there now

!!!!!!!!!

anyway

as I listen to the rain fall gently for now

which  apparently it won't for long

because the lady on the radio keeps telling me

there is going to be

a big storm later on today

high winds tornados and heavy downpours

great

I thought I would give the yarn and needles of both kinds a rest for a while

I tried six different things yesterday and literally ended up

throwing the needles yarn and everything across the room

which made husband think I had lost it

which I actually had

:(

so today

I went to the other list of things to do

I feel the need to sew

so I'm sewing

  

I was wandering through Pinterest the other morning and came across a picture that lead me

to one thing that lead me to another

and so forth and sew on

!!!!

I ended up on a page with a video and a free pattern

so I grabbed them and

here they are

it's for a mannequin

a pin cushion

but it's huge

so I thought I would maybe hang a necklace off it

or pin a bracelet on it

whatever

it's cute and hopefully easy and there's a video to watch while I make it

it sits atop a candle stick

of which I have many

if I didn't give them ALL away

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so before all hell breaks loose outside

and the prediction of the whiney woman on the radio comes true

I will bid you all

a good afternoon

etc...

did you hear about the zoo animals roaming around the countryside

in the State of Ohio

it was literally

lions and tigers and bears...

OH MY!!!

they shot most of them

and there are a few camels still roaming around

poor things

I hope they find them a good home

and don't shoot any more

it's weird what you hear when you aren't listening

:)

oh and another thing

for those of you on

Pinterest

can you tell who's pinning when you go to the page where you can see it all?

I can now

I know when Kate (the garden bell) has been there

the page lights up with all that colour of hers!!!  :)

and when Elaine (La belle helene) has been busy

it's all wonderful design and interesting arty things and funny things written

and Madhu

yummies and cuteness and beautiful interiors and lots of lovely colour too

and Valerie

hers are all serene and calm and so so French!!! :)xxx

the others I follow I don't really know 

but I recognise their pins

it's neat and it shows who we are somehow

I of course am all over the place and nothing makes any sense at all

I like it all

or as a Libra

the opposites attract

just thought it was interesting

see ya

:)
