So this little guy was whipped up to let the random people that show up at my house without calling, that I don't like them coming to visit! I hope they get the message! (I was as nice as I could be!)

Made with one fat quarter and some leftover batting from a previous project, and an iron on fabric swatch that I use for labels. Took me about half an hour to whip him up! :-)

:-) What do you think?

LOL like it. You think it will work ?

mrsj82 07-29-2011 07:17 PM

I sincerely hope so! The next step is a shotgun and a security guard named "knuckles"

javin22 07-29-2011 07:19 PM

Cute! Sounds like a good one!

fabric whisperer 07-29-2011 07:19 PM

LOL thanks for the giggle... mine says "unattended children will be given a cappuccino and a puppy"

Cute- but the ones that show up uninvited won't realize you are referring to them :roll: LOL

ROFL That one is good too! And yeah, I know the people showing up unannounced won't know this is referring to them., I've got to give them fair warning before I bring out the shotgun, or the court won't let me go (again)

teehee

ROFL here, too!!! Hospitality "ain't" what it's cracked up to be any more, is it?
I am also fond of " Unattended children will be given a Hershey bar and a FREE frog once we escort them to your car".
Lots of folks have worn out their welcome at my place, too.

That is too funny.

MelodyWB 07-29-2011 07:58 PM

Love it..might have to whip up one of my own..thanks for the idea !!

BrendaY 07-29-2011 08:45 PM

Just hang a sign on the doorknob...saying "GO AWAY!"

I should worry... I live so far out in the sticks that nobody comes here except the census takers..

sewbizgirl 07-29-2011 08:59 PM

We have a relative in another state who will call... when he's about 15 minutes from our house! He gives us that much notice that he's coming, or just shows up. Last time he stayed a week! Acted like we had nothing better to do than entertain him... We love him but what a pest.

I did census for ten years, Thanks for welcoming me (Smile) Boy did we have to hit all those out-of-the way places.

Go ahead and copy away my friends! I just have random people showing up at my house with no notice anymore that I'm about to commit a felony just to get rid of them. So up goes the sign!

I finally but restrictions on: They're welcome to visit for half a day. After that I get on with my life.

I have a sign that sais "please ring doorbell my dog needs the excersize. That has not worked yet. Maybe if I copy yours and put it with it it would work. Oh you know how people are they just read stuff like that and ask you to make them one.
Ha. And its usually them the sign was ment for. :mrgreen:

RenaB 07-30-2011 03:45 AM

How cute!

emerald46 07-30-2011 04:32 AM

I don't care about drop in family/friends...love it. I do take issue with sales people ringing doorbell. I printed out a little card and hung by the bell that says something about "When you entered the subdivision you saw a no solicitor sign. Please respect that and do not disturb us."

emerald46 07-30-2011 04:33 AM

oops

Judith1005 07-30-2011 04:41 AM

lol you tickled my funny bone today. i hope it works. people just don't understand that now days we prefer the call ahead. except for my babies. they can come anytime. i will change my schedule for them.

marytoddliz 07-30-2011 04:42 AM

I love it! We just moved into a "fixer upper" (I have the most awesome sewing room now) But the ones who just recently moved (with the help of the local Sheriff's office)have a lot of "friends stopping by" There are sometimes up to 5 or 6 a day~ One girl actually asked me if I was planning to do any "selling" Sheesh...

It is a really good neighborhood, and the neighbors are sure glad the previous tenants are gone! My sign should say something like "New tenants~ Only drugs you can get around here are at the Pharmacy!!!!

I can pretend I did that on purpose, right?

Thanks, that was the hope! Well that and keeping out the peskies!

We just meet them at the door and visit on the front step... in our 100 degree dry heat. No refreshments are offered and they usually don't come around much after that.
