The Village Shoppe

[Amy]

I don't know if I'm supposed to post this but this place is great. I'm not working right now and being able to talk to people who understand our craft Is so nice. You can get ideas, help and conversation. What could be better.

 

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself here in the Village Shoppe. Positive comments are always welcome! I hope you continue to enjoy things in here and throughout all of Crochetville.

Well,maybe I was wrong. I don't know if this is the proper place for me after all. I've read some posts in here that makes me wonder what kind of people are running it. This is supposed to be a nice friendly place to meet but obviously I was incorrect in my evaluation. Maybe someone could enlighten me and make me understand so that I don't feel like I miss-judged. Thank you in advance.

 

Patty,

I have been a member here for almost 3 years I think. I have had nothing but positive feelings and feed back from every thing I have done here. Recently I a fellow viller and I met for a weekend and we had a great time. I have made several friends that I talk to regulary from here. Please give this site a chance. The moderators here have a huge job making sure that every one complies with the guidlines. I hope that every one remembers what they were told when they were little. "Treat others how you would like to be treated" I hope that you decied to stay.

Dorothy

*slips kitty another toilet paper roll* mwahahaa..

 

Today I'm doing this pattern:

http://littlehouseinthesuburbs.com/2008/11/crocheted-washcloths-23-diamonds.html

 

It isn't as hard as I thought it'd be, once I got the hang of doing the design. It's from a CAL group I found on Ravelry last night, they do a dishcloth a month, fun! I was getting tired of doing standard sc or dc type cloths.

 

It's pretty, I have some I Love This Cotton yarn, in 205 Too Pink Print. It's super cute, making green/pink stripes.

 

Don't think I can finish it today, but when it's done I'll post a picture

[crocheter4jesus]

Oh, that's a cute washcloth meowy! You'll have to post pics!

 

I just got 46 minutes in crocheting time for washing dishes!

They are so cuddly till they get about 45 lbs and then they get very playfull and can really hurt you. I'm on a list with vet to take care of wildlife. But he was my first.

 

He is sooooo cute!

 

@princesspatty: I ditto Dorothy, though I haven't met any Villers in RL yet. I hope you continue to visit here!:hug

Thanks for the vote of support, Dorothysgirls and crocheter4jesus. Now I'm going to ask that anyone else who has concerns about drama please bring those to me privately via PM. Any more references to the drama within this thread will be removed, as public discussion of the old drama just creates more drama, and that's not very constructive. It's much more constructive if I can talk with someone privately about their concerns.

 

*Off to find a cozy chair and start work on my WIP again.*

Heading over to the family room to make pj pant bottoms for my FSD, it already has a shirt, so it now needs pants.

Just popped into the bistro for a nice cup of tea and Im headed over to pet the yarns then off to the livingroom to work on ........ sorry its a secret. I am making ......... for a very sweet member here on the ville and I don't want her to know what I am making. She will just have to wait and see. I have also been trying to write down some patterns for a few of the mini creations I have been working on but I find it really hard to write them down when the creativity is flowing. The patterns just show up in my head as I go along but I can never seem to get them on paper as fast as I the ideas come.

Is there any way I could just plug my brain into my computer and let it type out the pattern as I am creating? I wish!!!

Can't wait to see what you are making. I bet it is really cute.

[Colleenka]

Tammy - Wouldn't that be an amazing piece of software to invent! One that could take people's creative ideas and make patterns out of them! Enjoy your crochet time!

 

Lilly Flower - What colour PJs are you making? Those dolls are cute! Enjoy!

 

Patty - What are you working on these days?

 

I opted for bag, settled down to enjoy a 1 skein project (as per the pattern) and ran out of yarn 3/5 of the way through It is working up nicely though.

 

*Joining you all in the Family Room to look at my Library books and admire your WIPs*

[dorothysgirls]

Kids are coloring and life is settling down for the day. ! So I am going to go colapse into a comfy chair and work on my bed spread....

Oops forgot to get a drink... *Runs to the bistro and gets hot chocolate.*

Hubby is wonderful he made me a thread holder! It is wonderful no more fighting with thread!!

[ctawq]

Oooohh I so need an espresso with extra espresso! Just remembered I have to fix a stole for the minister for tomorrow. I made stoles to match the banner about 8 to 10 years ago and some silverfish got into one of them and eat it's merry way through the wool crewel work. So I hope no one mines the light being on late in the family room.

 

Quick question my sis told me about hour ago her church is having booth at local town thingey and are raising money for youth. Since I'm the only on to crochet they need items. So ladys I need suggestions. Can't get on ravelry so nothing from there. I'm learning so ill try anything. Just need suggestions that would sell. I have until sept. I love my sis really I do. Oh my cup is empty and I need a sandwich.

 

Countrymom you can use any of my amigurumi patterns here at the 'ville for church thingy's .

What a great idea for a thread holder. I hate fighting with my thread. Now if I can just get the DH to make me something to hold the thread while I am reclining in bed that would be great.

 

BTW the beadspread is going to be gorgeous! Can't wait to see the finished project.

[ctawq]

*Sidetracked by dorothysgirls thread holder, that is cool. I got myself a yarn "spin & knit" earlier this year. Found the thingy on esty but the guy that makes them is local here in Austin. So he brought me the 2 he had and I got to pick, no freight either Enjoy yours it looks like it will make your spread go faster.

[dorothysgirls]

*Oh I forgot to tell you all that they come appart when you are not using them and that you can store your hook for that project in the legs!!! Scooby Doo has one too....

[wiz3283]

Dorthy you are a real sweetheart and so is your DH.

[moomooo]

Wow ladies we seem to be all busy here today that is awesome.

I mooved over to the kitchen and baked a pumkin pie so that when i drop by bistro for my cup of milk this time i can have it with the pumkin pie.

Say any one want a slice just ring my bell.....

 

Tammy you are a tease not telling us exactly what you making...... but i guess we can all see it soon.....

 

I hope to have photos tomorrow of my WIP in the living room.....

I'm cold so back to the living room I will drop by the shoppe tomorrow again and drool over the yarns and then by the library to see what will be next for me....

 

Dorothy you got a great hubby for making that thingy for you...

Hubby used to be crafty at one time but he is lacking off now....

 

Littleflower glad to see you here too....

 

Well my friends catch you all later. Off i go to whip a few stitches..

hugs

[nicolep]

Hi, everyone! I'm glad to see everyone has been so chatty and sharing projects. Everything is beautiful.

 

Here's my project started and finished today.

 

 

It's from A Dozen & One Tunisian Dishcloths by Kim Guzman. I got it from ebay on Friday. It only took a day to get here so I was excited to get started on one today. It's going to a swap partner. There are some great dishcloths in this book. It's addicting and I've already started another.

 

Take care everyone! Talk with you soon.
