Purple People Eater

Yes, I have lost my ever lovin' mind... "When I grow old, I will not only wear purple. I will crochet a Purple People Eater." 😈 I have been wanting to start this since my last post, but I have just been so scatterbrained. And by the time I am done doing house chores I need to do, and finally sit down; I'm about ready to fall asleep (and I usually do). I finally yesterday, went and found the pattern I had printed out, and my yarn and I grabbed an H hook and sat down and crocheted, damn it. The pattern says to use bulky yarn and a bigger hook. But I hate bulky yarn and bigger hooks, and I'm doing it with worsted weight and an H hook. I almost wanted to use a G hook, but I wasn't going to get up and I wasn't going to rip out what I had started. Damn it. 😝 

Yesterday my husband and I went to a town about an hour away and O.M.G. It's called "antique Capital" of the state. I can see why! There's the biggest antique mall. Beside that, there are three or four other antique stores. And one restaurant. All in a row. And, there are three or four (maybe more?) other antique stores, down the road! We went in all of the stores in the little (biggest, I should say) mall area. I was about ready to drop. And we went to an antique barn, before that. I only got four things. I couldn't find ONE Shelley tea cup in all those stores! I couldn't believe it! That was literally the whole reason we went. But I did have fun. I will upload the pictures of what I got (I still have to unwrap everything and find somewhere to put them, and take the pictures..) later.  My husband has a four day weekend. I don't know what we're doing today. He said "We'll go to the antique stores, go fishing, go to Frankenmuth. And one day just relax.."  😜
