What a day! Is it really a Sunday?

[dreamflower]

I am not used to working on Sunday. The whole routine at the store, and the rhythm of the customers is totally different. Plus I started my morning off by getting locked in the broom closet.

Yep. See, I was told to clean the women's restroom, which I actually like doing, because it's something different than stocking shelves or waiting on customers. So I went into the broom closet that is located between the women's and men's restroom in order to get my cleaning supplies. Got them together. Turned around and pushed on the door to go out-- nothing happened. I suddenly realized someone must have turned the latch on the outside (there is no inside latch), so I start banging on the door and hollering. In just a few minutes, someone heard and let me out.

The girl who'd locked me in was all apologetic-- she didn't know I was in there, and she'd wanted to hang her apron on the latch, so she turned it. (It's not a very good hanger in the "open" position.) This is a habit a lot of the employees have, because we are not allowed to wear our aprons into the restrooms for sanitary reasons. BUT, there is a HOOK *IN* the broom closet for that purpose. If she'd opened the door to used that hook, she'd have known I was in there. *sigh*

Anyhow, I'm glad to be home. I do work tomorrow, but it's a short shift, thank goodness!

The DH and I are going to postpone Valentine's Day until next week, when hopefully both of us will be off at the same time, and also we have a payday on Fri. that should include a ton of overtime. Still, I had fun making a Valentine's Day wreath for our front door. Pic behind cut...


Also a pic I've meant to post for a while!

	Valentine's Day wreath A little late getting it up, but I think it came out well.
	Knitted dishcloths I thought I'd take a pic of these before I actually put them to use and they are no longer quite so vivid and pristine. Nine dishcloths, knitted to fit the blue/yellow/white color scheme of my kitchen. Still haven't finished my potholder yet, though.

So, what's everyone else up to?

Glad you got sprung from the broom closet! Maybe you'd better stash some vittles and water in there in case it ever happens again.

I love your homemade goodies. You do beautiful work.

I'm enjoying the last few hours of a peaceful weekend before another work-week begins. I have to be up at 4 a.m. tomorrow, so bedtime will be early tonight.

Actually, I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often, LOL! Those of us who work in the market area are constantly in there getting things, and it's a wonder one of us doesn't get locked in a couple of times a week!

And thank you! I do enjoy making things!

(((hugs))) I hope you have a lovely peaceful night's slumber and dream of hobbits and puppy dogs...

eeep! Getting locked in the closet. Can't be fun! Glad it ended well and it wasn't the end of the day or anything when everyone was gone! D:

Beautiful handmade work! Wow! *is impressed*

Um...I have a dumb and unrelated question. Did I sign up for the Big Bang fic thing? I completely don't remember! :(

[dreamflower]

No, fortunately it wouldn't be at closing for me, as I work during the middle of the day only! But at least I know a racket in there will be heard!

And thanks! Wreaths are fairly easy; and the dishcloths were lots of fun. I love the way dishcloths give me a chance to try out new knitting patterns and techniques.

As to your question, I will send you an email about it!

Cool! I've actually devoted time to writing and let my work stuff go today. Was surprised my brain was able to come up with anything!!

[dreamflower]

Good for you! It's nice to see you getting your muses kick-starteds again!

Oh my! I'm glad you weren't locked in that broom closet very long. I think the next time I went in there I'd post a note on the door!

I like the knitted dishclothes. I friend made me some crocheted ones and they work beautifully.

[dreamflower]

LOL! I hope it doesn't happen again anytime soon, but all things considered, I'm actually surprised it doesn't happen more often!

I had fun knitting them, and it's nice having them all color-coordinated!

I'm so sorry you got locked in. Love your wreath!

[gamgeefest.livejournal.com]

Glad you weren't stuck in the broom closet for too long.

The wreath is lovely and the dishcloths are pretty.

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

I am still searching for cake. LOL

Glad someone was quick to let you out. Hide paper and a pen in there and the next time it happens you can work on fic in there.

Love the dish towels! Everything is so pretty.

Lovely wreath! :)

And it's good that your "adventure" lasted only a few minutes - it must've been unpleasant anyway, let alone if it had lasted longer...*hugs*

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

You do such a good job with crafts. I'm so impressed by those colourcoded dish cloths. They make me smile. :)

I'm sorry about the broom cupboard thing though.

*hugs*

Here it's Monday morning and I don't have many plans yet except for making breakfast now and go to work this afternoon.

[lily-the-hobbit.livejournal.com]

Glad you got out of the cupboard again!

Thanks so much for your card! :D

Pretty wreath and washcloths! I love blue and yellow together--so cheerful. :)

But gah!! Locked in the broom closet! I'm glad someone let you out right away.

Not a lot of plans for Valentine's Day for us... hubby has a martial arts class on Mondays so he'll rush home, swallow supper whole and rush back out again. LOL But he made a carrot cake for me yesterday, and he's getting me a new telephoto lens for my camera in lieu of flowers, so I can forgive him for missing on the actual night of. *g*

Well, I'm very glad someone heard you banging! That sounds like TOO much of an eventful day at work.

Lovely wreath and kitchen towels---gosh, I'd hate to use kitchen towels that look so nice.
