Reworking Some Broken Necklaces 149/365

These necklaces were plain long beaded ropes more or less. I broke both of them with days of each other and they had been sitting on my desk taunting me ever since. Today I fixed both of them and I am quite pleased with the results!

In Praise of Getting Things Done 148/365

Wow what a day! I swept and mopped, cleaned the bathroom, did some laundry, sewed down the last two sides of binding on the quilt, knit a few squares for the new scarf project., watered my seeds, plants and seedlings (twice it's hot and dry here), played my guitar, walked to the dollars store for fake flowers (pictures tomorrow) and that's about it. I'm headed to bed tired but happy.

This picture is almost irrelevant but I will post it anyway.

Dish Gardens 147/365

I would sell these if I had a  ride to the farmer's market.

Finishing Up A Stashed Quilt 146/365

Yes I missed another day. I promise to keep going with this 365 challenge until both numbers at in my blog Title say 365/365.

Finally motivating to start the de-stash again. This quilt project was stuck up in the coat closet for a few years. Dakota sewed part of it but I'm still too angry at him to ask him to help finish it. As of today I have two sides of the binding sewed down.

Steampunking at Territory days 142/365

I Want to Believe 141/365

 

Don't try to figure this out, you never will and you just might get a headache from trying.

CSPD 140/365

I got my call from the police, just not the police I called. Officer Laurich, who works at Wasson HS, called about Dakota's shenanigans. The teacher is filing harassment charges. Dakota can fess up and go to Teen Court or he can act ignorant and go to Real Court Downtown.I can hear it now..."I didn't do anything". Right. That's not what a bunch of eye witnesses say.

The plot thickens.

I asked if I could file trespass  charges against Dalton if he shows up again...YES! Can I call 911 in good faith if Dakota goes berserk......YES!!!

I am stuck home tomorrow playing Warden. I got stuff to do so it's ok, but I am indeed going to Territory Days Saturday in my Steampunk outfit. WOOOOOOT!!!!!

The Great Fan Experiment 139/365

Yes, I have survived to blog another day. I have another story to tell but first the fun stuff.

Behold my great FAN EXPERIMENT! Ok not a fan proper, but part of a fan. 

Line with moss, fill with soil and compost stuff back end with crumpled newspaper, plug in various sedums and sempervivums and walllllaaaah!

Got a phone call from the school today. Mr Dakota sprayed silly string into a teacher's eye causing him to lose a contact and resulting in chemical damage to the eye complete with trip to the Doctor. He's definitely out of Wasson HS and probably out of D11.Yep, uh huh...it ain't just me that's mad now, is it? I think we may have to cut this problem child lose like we did with his sister 4 years ago. We will make our decision July 1.

Battle Halley 138/365

I needed to get my spare keyboard out of the hard shelled suitcases I gave to Dakota to use as a TV stand. I moved the TV and happened to look to my right when I reached for the top suitcase. Uhhhh yeah those are my knitting needles. Twisted and bent to hell. Tips covered in resin from a pipe (remember he got suspended for coming to school high). I see RED.


I looked around and found another no no. Candles. In two windows. Picture Jack saying this on two separate occasions..."No candles, you have no need for them. I said no candles, do you understand?"


Now I am doubly mad. I took the suitcases, I took the quilt off the wall I put there 4 years ago. I took Jack's Cars DVD, I took Jacks Lady Antebellum CD, I took Dakota's porno DVD. 

I locked myself in my studio, called the juvenile dept. at the police station (second time I've called, still no call back...your tax dollars at work. If something bad happens to me I want all of you to call News Channel 11 KKTV and tell them I tried to get the police here about this) and waited for the little creep to come home from school.

He went absolutely insane. I mean screaming, door slamming, stomping insane. Over a TV stand , a quilt and a porno movie. Maybe it was the candles. I quietly called Jack and told him to come straight to my room when he got home and yes it would be locked so have key in hand.

Jack came home FINALLY and Dakota starts screaming I ripped him off. I showed him my knitting needles and said you started it and I only took back what was already mine except for your stupid porno movie.

Today I finally realized what Dakota did to get back at me. My phone charger by the coffee pot is gone as is my mom's makeup bag that was in the bathroom. I had hidden everything else, all knitting needles, all candles (hee hee). I'm really pissed about the make up bag. The makeup I actually use is in a different bag but hey it was my dearly departed mother's, ya know? I'm off to hide the real make up and my curling iron. I should probably grab my meds too.

It's war.

TO Liked It! 137/365

We knew he would.

TO's Turkey Stick 136/365

TO (Tee Ohhh) is the GC (General Contractor) up at the big elephant enclosure build at the zoo. He like to turley hunt. Jack wanted to make him a stick in appreciation for all the overtime TO paid for on this job. TO donated the turkey feathers and beard. I did the bead cuff. Jack sewed the bag and fancied up the beard.

 I realize I don't have a pic of whole stick yet again but I am sure Jack will get one when he gives it to TO.
