Dreamflower's Mathom-house

I finally finished my appliqued pillow, "Eagle Interventions".

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... ( Read more... )

So, what's everyone else up to?

These are pics the DH took of me wearing the new dress I made for Christmas. I wore it Sunday, and will probably wear it again tomorrow night to the candlelight service.

I'm seldom up this time of night. We usually go to bed about 10, though sometimes I wake up in the wee hours and get up. But the poor DH has gone to the ER with a sore throat, poor baby. We're afraid it might be strep, *sigh*!

Anyway, I won't be online in the mornings much next week, as I've volunteered to help out with VBS at church. I don't know how well it's going to work out: the contractor, who was supposed to have finished by now (which was the plan when I volunteered) has been delayed by the rain. All his work now *should* be mainly exterior, though so maybe there won't be any problem. And I should be home by shortly after noon.

In other news--see my new icon? danachan made it from the same picture I used for the "Hole Sweet Hole" items at the Mathom-house! And she made me some other cool icons too!

I've posted some pic-spam of a couple of my projects over at our new community, lotr_crafts.

Here are the links:

I hope you will come and take a peek, and maybe join us!

Thanks to danachan, here's some pics of Gulf Wars. I only got to attend Thursday and Saturday, and the pictures came up somewhat out of order. They are all thumbnails, so you can click on them to get a better view.

Thursday, I spent most of the day at Scribe's Point working on scrolls, and Saturday I did a lot of shopping. Since I had the drive back, I did not stay for Great Court Saturday night, though I would have dearly loved to.

I had loads of fun though, and saw a few people that I did not expect to see, since I knew that they had been affected badly by Katrina. But they had made it there anyway, which pleased me no end!
