Halloween has been relocated
B is keeping our pumpkins company, and there's a new freebie listed...
The other night I noticed one of our decorations had dropped to the ground...I knew it couldn't have done that w/out someone physically trying to remove it from it's post, so I went out to fix it, only to discover that 4 of our plug-in pumpkins from our pumpkin patch (we bought them at Target, you've probably seen them recently)had been stolen, along with a neat little hanging sconce that I bought last year (and cannot be replaced)...
So at 3:00am, I took everything down and brought it into the house (our front yard was decked out)...Brian looked at the living room where I just dumped everything and said "what happened??"...It looked like Halloween had thrown up inside our living room...heh...
Instead of just packing up our toys and going home, I decided we should set up everything in our fenced in BACK yard, so last night that's what we did...all our summer flowers are dead and gone, so I created a cemetary in that spot, and we fixed up a new pumpkin patch, hung up the cauldrons and it looks better than ever...plus I'm not worried about the stuff being stolen again - we put padlocks on the fence handles to keep folks OUT at night...its all good...I'll have to get some pics posted so you can see...
I found a faucet online and we picked it up today...Brian's going to install it while I'm in class later this week...magic fairies will come and install it while he sleeps, I'm sure...
So today I'm gonna organize the studio a bit better, get my wire work and silversmithing stuff put into rolling drawers so I can find what I need, and get it off the work table, so Michelle can start coming over tomorrow making her giantisaur beads...not everything she makes is huge, I'm just kidding...her mom likes the big beads, so the 4 she brought for show and tell were hers...but it'll be cool to see what she makes..she used to teach in Alaska, she knows all the 'major' teachers like Loren Stump, Al Janelle, Kevin O'Grady and such...so I think she'll be fun to hang around with and hear her stories...she also likes animals, so she won't mind the cats and dog in and out all day...I think it'll be fun for both of us...
maybe more beads tomorrow, I DO want to get on the torch, I've started a new set and am eager to get back and work on them more today...some cool shiny results are in store...

That's too bad about your decorations being stolen/vandalized. :( BUT I LOVE your graveyard in your backyard! Nice touch with the toes sticking out.....a bit CSI-ish heh heh And I'm really enjoying your H'ween animations too! :)
