You know.. I truly DO abhor the SOUND of torturously DRIPPING Rain!! It's just a notch or so below, COLD Rain... I don't mind the Thunder. I actually like the Thunder. It's just the tick-tock dripping that drives Me INSANE! -- The BACHARACH Fan Club finally wrapped up their ALL NIGHT acoustic tribute around 3pm-ish...
B-DAY BABE was pretty much of the SAME opinion as well - except for the Thunder part. She doesn't like it. And, the dark dreary lack of Sunlight wasn't helping either! -- Hey! Could be WORSE! I usually end up shovelling Driveways on My DAY!
Then again... FATHER accidently went and did something silly and waay TMI to mention. - So, we won't. - Although, needless to say, She wasn't overly thrilled about THAT, either!
Anyhoo... She loved the little GLASS BIRDS I got at BOWRING the other week. [SEE: 30 JULY 2010] But, especially the cute little porcelain Yard Sale acquired *ITEM* that I placed with the Box Ribbon... It's a FAMILY "Inside Joke", so I rather NOT "say"... But, Her punchline comment was,
"...We actually had One just like that, when I was a kid..."

| I think They're TWEETING about My BLOG!! |
So, to CONTINUE with Yesterday's PETSMART exploration... MOTHER was in search of the apparently "new" Line of MARTHA STEWART PETS Toys? They're rumoured to be "Crocheted".
Since ARTISAN-MOM crochets the odd creature Herself, an RECON mission was in order.
DESPITE, being CUTE and, rather WELL done [by, I'm sure, severely Under-Paid Factory Workers..], neither of Us were overly impressed with the probable LACK of longevity of the Product's
"materials" [a Cotton STRING-type Yarn over a pliable rigid Foam...] And, are hence, "recommended" for SMALLER Pets... DUH! - I've got DUST BUNNIES that could chew through those things! [..yeah, that's right, I'm not the HAZEL of Housework, either! So, get over it!]
MARTHA, have you done a HEEL-Count of your SHOE-House, lately...? When the Crochet/Knit LEATHER Line comes out, THEN, we can talk "Lunch"!
So, here's a Pic of MOTHER's "BUTTON-BUDDY" Creatures... And, NOT recommended for PET-Consumption!
I believe that ALL of THESE have already been Sold off. They're about 3 inches, with a Finger-Hole in the back that allows them to be used as Finger Puppets and/or FITTED onto a large clothing Button.
IN OTHER NEWS...
JUST received CONFIRMATION on My CAIRINE WILSON Christmas Craft Sale booking. Once again, I'll have Tables 1 & 2 in the Gymnasium. -- As You approach entry into the Room, My BABIES are the FIRST thing You SEE!!
UNLESS, of course, more than one unattentive, ill-considerate "Person" decides to hold a "Meet & Greet" RIGHT-IN-FRONT-OF-*MY*-STUFF and, thus, effectively BLOCKING out ALL visual and physical ACCESS!! -- Over the last few years, I've come to believe that these are the SAME Species that are ALSO devoid of Parking Prowess and Shopping-Cart Etiquette!!
Meanwhile, the HAPPY COUPLE and ENTOURAGE, have safely returned from their Tropical respite. -- Betting THE BOYS were seriously missing the SURF, the second They walked onto the Plane! - [Also, the Reason WHY this Posting will be LATE again -- MOTHER was on the Phone with Them for almost 2 HOURS!! -- And, I have DIAL-UP...]
And, I am NO longer FOLLOWless on TWITTER!! YAY!!
Meanwhile, MOTHER would like to THANK all of Her Well-Wishers! Their lovely Sentiments
brought a few Rays of Sunshine through the wonting Weather!
