Aaaaaargh!
I was planning on showing you a photo of my crocheted squares with the last colour of yarn finally crocheted around them, all laid out awaiting blocking.
I was also planning on showing you a photo of my completed flower brooches.
I was also planning on showing you a photo of my current work in progress, yet another crocheted scarf, in Clekheaton’s Vintage Hues (to match the beanie), working in a zig-zag pattern.
However, the bloody burglars that broke in yesterday stole my digital camera, along with some cash and the spare set of house and car keys.
So this morning we’ve had all the locks changed in the house (they broke in through the back sliding door, the same place as last time) and spent lots of time talking to our insurers. We’ve also got to get the car keys changed – which we have discovered is a very expensive proposition.
We’re highly unimpressed. The house was only empty for about an hour, and doors were locked. Pity we hadn’t turned on the alarm . . . I’d never been robbed before this year, and now that is twice since Easter.
Now that I’ve ranted a little, I’m planning on sewing a bag this weekend for my sister-in-law’s birthday. I’ve got the pattern, the fabric, the notions – now to find the time! Let’s see how far I get. I also need to research what would be a good digital camera to buy so that you’ll be able to see the final result!
Oh, no! How awful! We once had our car broken into. They cleaned it out- I mean REALLY cleaned it out- they even got the change that was stuck to the bottom of the cupholder from old spilt soda! I had tried several times to pry that change up and couldn’t manage! Luckily, they were caught and our stuff was returned to us- the policeman just happened to have been drving by the apartment complex, tackled the guy to the ground, handcuffed him, and then sorted through the loot- I think we were the first apartment he knocked on- at three o’clock in the morning! Scared the crap out of my husband to have a very large cop knocking on our door at that time of night!
Oh how awful! I have enver had the pleasure of having my home invaded (notice the sarcastic tone) I was just reading about someone’s purse being stolen, and my husband promptly had his wallet stolen. Now this! I am going to take extra care to make sure everyhting is locked up from now on! No sense pressing our luck here.
