Uneventful weekend?

-
In case that you thought my weekend was going to be
peaceful and uneventful...

We woke up to this on Sunday morning.

It had been close to 40 years since I had be toilet papered.

Can't wait to tell my mom.
She used to laugh when it happened.
And laughed while I cleaned it up the next morning.
At least they didn't disturb my freshly primed items that I left outside all night.

Or my not so healthy landscaping.
But they sure must have had fun.
The scary part is, I heard NOTHING.
JWS loves the air conditioning.
Me,
not a huge fan.
I was sleeping in another bedroom with the windows open.
How did I miss that?

It is getting ready to storm here.
Thank goodness.
We really need the rain.

What do I have to look forward to?
Today is boob smashing day!
Woohoo!

Have a great week everyone!

I haven't heard about this since I was a little girl. I remember seeing it done in the past. You are a good sport about it!

Good Morning, Cathy,

Have a marvelous Monday ~Natalie

Do you think it may be rowdy kids or the upset customer from last week? LOL
They sure didn't use much! Kids around here aren't stingey with the TP! Not fun trying to take it down if it happens to get wet either.

Have a "smashing" good day!

Poor, poor, you....don't know what is worse - the smashing or the tp clean-up....We were last tp'd about 2 years ago - and I think I'm still picking it up!! And you think it was bad that you slept through it...well, I was actually home and awake....and they used OUR toilet paper.....(We had some "friends" over, and one...who's a little less "mature" than his age would suggest....put the children of some of our other guests up to it....So while we were inside conversing and such, my house was being vandalized....And they threw entire rolls up into the trees that got stuck there!!) Needless to say, those "friends" haven't been invited back.....Try to have a good day - hey, it has to get better, right? Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin

Hi Cathy!
I am keeping my fingers crossed when I say that I never had the pleasure of being TP'd. Good grief.....you are taking it really well. Hope the weather holds while you're getting it cleaned up.

Oh it's summer time and the kiddies are restless toilet papering your house. It doesn't look too hard to clean up. I didn't think kids still done this sort of thing. Must be younger kids.
Glad to hear you have a sense of humor about it.

Walker/Wheelchair Bag Tutorial

Some of you asked for this. This is literally one of the EASIEST, most appreciated projects that I have ever made. I timed myself while I made this one and it was finished in under 1/2 hour and that included refilling bobbins, taking pictures, and searching the button box for two matching buttons. They are even faster if 1.) you don't do all of the above and 2.) you make them on an assembly line. Step 1. Cut a piece of fabric for the straps 4 inches wide by 14 or so inches long. If you have a very lightweight fabric, you can double it or use press on interfacing to back it. Step 2. Cut two coordinating rectangles approximately 12 to 15 inches by 15 to 18 inches. This is very loose, you can use vary the size of them. Pin those together on the bottom and halfway up the sides. Step 3. Press the 4 inch rectangle in half lengthwise with wrong sides together and sew around raw edges, then zig - zag the edge. If the fabric frays really bad, you can go over it again. Step 4...

Sharpie Markers and Alcohol = Really Quick Art

What a fun, creative process!  Grab all those sharpies that are hidden in your desk drawer. Find that bottle of rubbing alcohol. (Vodka or hand  sanitize might work, you can always experiment) Dig out a canvas,  or go buy some,  nothing like having some blank canvases hanging around.  Draw some wild and crazy lines. Fast and not a lot of planning work best.  Hit it all with some alcohol.  Allow it to move and blend.  I use a brush for the alcohol,  You could use a spray bottle or eye dropper,  I just want a little more control on mine.  And re-outline with a black sharpie!   That's it!  Fast Art!  I will be teaching this next Friday along with two other  fun projects in Mayville, New York.  For more info go to: https://www.facebook.com/ARTRetreatatthelake
