Dinosaur and Antique Store Finds

I have still been crocheting the Purple People Eater. Slowly, but still crocheting it. These pictures are a little older. I took them for future reference, if I ever decide to crochet another one of these dinosaurs. The first and probably only one I ever crocheted was about 19 years ago. So..  This is the mouth part..

And after finishing the head.

Then you crochet the pink mouth area, and sew it onto the hole. Stuffing as you go.. (What a pain that was.) But I did it. I also crocheted the eyes. 

And the legs. I just have to stuff them and sew them on. That will also be nerve wracking. I still have to crochet the "spots". That will be easy. I just need to decide on what color to make them. 

My husband andI went antique-ing, I think I mentioned in my last post. These are some of my buys. A strawberry (obviously painted on) sifter.  

A strawberry jam jar. I don't really like jam jars or collect them, but it's strawberries, so... My husband found this for me, too. 

And another strawberry jam jar.  My husband "built"? me some shelves for the kitchen wall. I put all these things on there. 

There are holes in the wall from the previous tenants, and it looked horrible and I hate it. I hate this whole kitchen to be honest. (This house is an antique. LoL.) But... 🤷  I wanted to try and decorate. It looks like an old person lives here. One who doesn't know how to decorate. LoL. Sigh...   The picture in between (was hanging up before, but my husband moved it. There is a lot more holes in that wall, now.) is a poem- the "dirty dishes" poem. My husbands' late Aunt typed it out and drew the artwork on it. I just finally got a frame for it, in a lame attempt to try and decorate the kitchen more. (Sigh..) The plastic it was in was ripped and starting to get bent.   

Eri killed her first mouse this morning.😳 She woke me up, thrashing around. I sat up a little and said, "What are you doing, Eri?" My dog Jaxson was in there, too. He was looking down and then looking at me... I leaned over and saw the mouse. UGH!! Then I don't know what I was doing... I laid back down for a second, thinking "Ugh here we go..." (I didn't know it was dead, usually she chases them around and it goes on for days... Again, this house is an antique... and a stone/dirt basement...) Well my ear plug must have fallen out or something, I felt something on my neck and I let out a little scream. I thought it was the mouse, up on the bed trying to get away from Eri. LoL (Funny, NOT funny...) I sat up fast and saw it was my ear plug... Then I looked over the side of the bed again and the mouse was still there. Meanwhile my husband was coming up (because I screamed probably)... I pointed down. He got it and took it outside.  What a lovely way to wake up in the morning...     🙄  And, I feel like I have a bladder infection... 😭 I don't know if I can take anything for it, because I have a colonoscopy appointment this coming up week and I'm not supposed to take any vitamins, any ibuprofen, anything except tylenol. And of course it's Saturday, so the doctor office isn't open for me to call them...  Ughhh...    I think I'm just going to try and crochet and not think about anything.
