UPDATE: The crime scene is taped off and the crimi UPDATE: The crime scene is taped off and the criminals have been booked.
.
At approximately 9:45 am the call came in 🚨. 
.
Two criminals remained at large after looting The Lucy Bird headquarters (aka basement).
.
Inside job. 
.
Authorities have no reason to believe it could happen to you!
.
After questioning, it turns out the loveys that the gnomes are holding were mistaken for “squeaker toys”. 
.
In what has been recorded as the “squeaker toy heist of 2021” multiple gnomes were damaged and carelessly strewn about. 
.
The carnage was real.
.
Some may never use their legs or feet again 😔.
.
The perps? 
.
They were proud and “showboated” the their loot around the house, tossing it into the air with reckless abandon.
.
It was this evidence that led authorities to the scene.
.
They will be thrown the book. 
.
For further updates please check back. This is an ongoing investigation and details will be made public when available.

Have you ever wondered what I keep in these lockers and how I sort and store my quilting and crafting supplies?
.
Any interest in a blog post on it?
Once the temperatures hit “melting” I was so r Once the temperatures hit “melting” I was so ready for spring!
.
This first batch would be perfect for Easter or could just be “neutral” for spring!
.
I’ve been getting some requests for gnomes that could be used year round (ie not so seasonal looking) and these guys are it!
.
Ps: the lovey I put on them is just attached with a pin, so could be easily swapped out and your gnome could hold something new.
.
These be hitting the shop soon!

A few years ago my husband and I were in Ireland 🇮🇪 cruising the countryside.
.
We took a carriage ride through the Gap of Dunloe and our driver kept calling me “Hey Lady”.
.
“Hey Lady! You want a picture?”
.
“Hey Lady! You look scared” (fact: horses scare the 💩 out of me because they are large, fast and unpredictable)
.
“Hey lady! Are you Irish!?”
.
I told him I was not and then he said something like, “I knew that!” And he proceeded to puff out his cheeks like a chipmunk and he said, “your cheeks are too big to be Irish”
☘️ 
.
I don’t know what that clown totally meant by that, but I will say his gratuity suffered.
.
These tall gangly Irish gnomes are in my #etsyshop and I swear they will NOT give you grief about the size of your cheeks!”
.
They have manners!

Today my husband and I celebrated double-digit tem Today my husband and I celebrated double-digit temperatures ☀️ by getting out. of. the. house!
.
We ate cheeseburgers and drank beer. 
.
We scoured 2 antique shops and emerged with an arm load of goodies.
.
We hit up a quilt shop and while he was encouraging as he followed me around, it quickly became annoying to have a husband trailing me.
.
So I bought 5 fat quarters and made a mental note to return without him under foot! 
.
He’s a good sport though! This vintage lunch box was one of my finds! 
.
Hope you have double digits ☀️ wherever you are at!!
