UBER COOL BEANERS....PINCUSHION Swap

Had a day off from Lowes ( since I am still considered part-time, they have cut back alot of hours!)....so, I have been bizzzzzzzzzzzzzy catching up on some awesome swaps I have joined!
This is my swap for the Pin-Cushion swap.....isnt it UBER COOL BEANERS??

When we used to do the wholesale/craft show circuit ( traveling like gypsies, we did!)...I made LOTS of pincushions repurposing VINTAGE items. So......I dug into my stash...and repurposed a REPURPOSED vintage mold ( talk about recycling....I told you I cannot throw anything away!..LOL).....I LOVE this whootywhoooo owl....I hand cut from my own pattern design.
Made one for my swap partner...and one for my ETSY shop.
Beeeeeeeeee sure to check back and see what else is going on in The Bee Hive Studio!

THREE for THREE

A few nights ago, as I was driving home from Lowes....a bat flew dead head (figuratively speaking )into my windshield......a few miles down the road ( we live in the country)...there was an opossum that decided it would STOP in the middle of the road ( umm, beneath my right front tire).....I got home...told Mr. Lowes..."Well, I am two for two!".....
Soooooooooo....you know things come in THREES???....Well, LAST night......YEP....three deer....as I was coming over a slight hill decided to "CROSS OVER"...right in front of me.....and....I have always been told it is better to hit the deer than to avoid it ( and perhaps end up in a ditch or worse)....sooooooo the third time was the charm, as they say!
It could have been worse......the airbag could have ALSO deployed...but, it didnt....& I was able to make it the rest of the way home.
The damage:

State Farm is gonna have to tow the old girl.....(the car, not me)....seems there is internal damage.....dont know if she will make it......so we may be at a crossroad here.
Luckily, I am off work for a couple of days...so, I will be able to get my latest creations into my ETSY shop......gotta pay for the deductible...or a new car somehow!
Thanks for checking in on me......I am gonna beeeeeeeee bizzzzzzzzzy for sure!
