Heaven...Hell...and a Pie Maker?

It's true!! This morning after I dropped Firecracker off at preschool I had to pick up a few things...so I popped into a sewing shop. 

(getting ready for preschool)

I've not stepped foot in a sewing shop since being dragged into one by Pickalily as a child. Back then it was Hell...today, absolute Heaven! Bias Binding, safety pins, patterns, walls of buttons that shone like candy! Beautiful.

They didn't have one of the items on my list so the lady at the counter sent me to the dollar store across the road. 

Happy Coins. Or as I prefer to call it, Hell.

While I was trying not to get myself killed by tripping on a feather boa or being crushed by a rotating rack of freaky eye ware, a raucous group of girls came in. The man behind the till looked worried and he should have been. Within minutes I heard them decide what they were going to steal from him and whether or not they should report him to Fair Go. What the heck!!!?

I let him in on their loud wee secrets and got the hell out. Yikes!

Last night I sold a pie-maker on 'Trademe' and today I was expecting the lovely winner to come and pick it up.

About half an hour ago, I hear a gentle knock on my door and with said Pie-maker firmly clasped to my chest (it's quite large, see...the pie maker!) I open the door...to a couple of Jehovah's Witnesses!!

They clasped bibles. I clasped a pie-maker. (we clearly had a different set of priorities)

I have nothing against Jehovah's Witnesses or the fact that my soul was damned until I met them...it just struck me that of the 3 of us standing at the door, I all of a sudden felt like the odd one out. With my pie-maker.

Never mind them, after I told them being saved wasn't for me, the real winners turned up to collect their shiny, white prize. My Lord, if it wasn't ZZ Top or his good mate Noah (as in excellent maker of large boats) in a car full of animals (two bichons and a lamb)!!

This is turning out to be a day of biblical proportions.

Keep shining xxx
