Bats in the Belfry...or Basement
Let me start by saying,
"I hate bats!"
Scared to death of them.
Give me any other critter in the house.
Mice, Rats, Snakes, Spiders, Squirrels, Chipmunks.
Many of which I have experienced,
but we won't go there.
Nothing freaks me out more than a bat.
Hummingbirds are a close second.
Just weird.
I know.
So the other morning when
JWS comes out of the basement,
which looks like a recent episode of Hoarders,
to gently inform me that we have a bat in the basement.
I varnish, do laundry and make coffee in the basement.
I know, the coffee is weird also.
Another story.
But needless to say,
none of the above have happened in the last three days.
As I sit here now,
I am waiting for JWS to go down and make the coffee.
I think he is toying with me.
There's more to the story.
Later.
Did a little painting (above) the other day.
Cleaned my office at work yesterday and found this.
I knew I had it,
it was buried.
I want to display something in it.
Any ideas?
And found some white wool yesterday.
Have to get it washed....
refer back to the bat story.
And yesterday,
I had a doctor's appt, so I slid into the mall
looking for a coat
and found
the most amazing sale!
Lots of sweaters over 70% off.
So, in a stash busting move last night, I worked on these hangers.
They are so nice for sweaters and so easy to do.
A mild moment of panic.
I have been working on this penny rug for a couple of months.
On and off.
Two nights ago,
I laid it out and realized that I had not cut enough red.
Sweating, I ran up the steps to my sewing room to dig through
the stash
and
Whew!
I had just enough!
Crisis averted.

Your houses are so cute! Of course, love the red. The penny rug is beautiful and will be a very nice piece when you are finished.
Yes, great time to go shopping! Always lots and lots of great sales this time of year. Sometimes that's not so great though, lol.
Wishing you a productive week of crafting~
Hope someone catches it soon :)
Can't wait for the "rest of the stories"!!!!

I am the same with the darn wingy things. They scare me to death and not only that they carry rabies so be careful.
I wonder what else JWS was doing downstairs. Coffee doesn't take that long to make. LOL
Love all your projects.
Take care, Les
We had a lot of bats in our house when we moved in ~ it took months for us to get rid of them. Hope youo get rid of your bat soon!
Wonderful painting creations by the way!!!

When I was younger and still at home, we lived in an old, drafty house. We had Bats all the time. I still remember my Dad running around with the broom swatting at them, Lol!
Love your new painting creations.
I just love reading your blog. It always makes me smile :)
