[CindysSweetThings]

Yay! Pretty puffies to look at! Good job, Susan!

 

I finished 2 more squares today. Yeah, I'm on a roll! That means I have 3 sitting around waiting to be mailed. Unfortunately, I've only got $20 in my bank acct, so I will have to wait until tomorrow to mail them out. That means they won't make it to their recipients until atleast tuesday. Whaaaa!!

[Mom w/a Motif]

[Mom w/a Motif]

I know, huh? I've been cleaning all day, and this was such a nice surprise. I need to start making squares again. I took a break to crochet some things for the HIJ. I'm getting in the mood to squares again now, though.

 

That is a very very cool square!

[TurtleLvr]

Great squares!

I've got some chores to do around the house but I will type it up for you gals when I get a chance.

 

Are any of you allergic to cats? We have 4 (2 are mine, 2 are my mom's) and their fluff ends up on everything. And of course they want to "help" me crochet by playing with my yarn or laying on my works-in-progress. Would you prefer I don't send squares to you or do you have any special considerations you would like me to take?

[katyallen815]

I have three cats, and the most recent addition, Max, is a yarn cat too. Whenever he sneaks in my yarn and craft room, he heads straight for a skein, usually red heart or vanna's, and proceeds to pull it apart if left to his own devices! My animals usually aren't allowed in there, but once in a while, he sneaks past me when i go in, and then hides, till he thinks I forget he's in there! So, I guess to add to your question is this, I have cats too, but try to keep the hair off my work, sooooo if anyone is alergic, let us know! thanks for posing that question Cindy!!

 

and here's max now, with his latest conquest!! On this particular day, he seemed to prefer my odd balls basket of yarns!

Oh, Max is a cutie! I don't have a special room for my crafty stuff but I do keep my yarn in totes or other kinds of bags. Also, when I'm crocheting, I pick off as much fur as I see (which isn't a lot but it does happen).

[katyallen815]

I baked these yesterday i think, for all you guys, but no one showed up darn it, so I'll just have to eat my way through them!!! But I'll be thinking of you all while i do it! tee hee hee!!

milk in hand, a toast! Here's to all of you granny square makers out there!!!!!!

 

[ATTACH]41289[/ATTACH] chips and away! (tinkle tinkle)

[smith]

cookie look good!!!

 

I've got a banana smoothie that would taste good if a cookie was dipped in it!

 

....so I was mad and sulked and cried for a day or so and now I'm ready to get this going. I called for a referral this morning from my gyn for the echocardiogram, stress test and the cardiologist. I have to wait a few weeks to heal before I can do the stress test. I hope to know when I can expect major heart surgery by the end of the summer. I know I have to lose 35 pounds and get things in order here at home and at work. That in itself should take a few years. LOL!

[Mom w/a Motif]

Hey I never got the email!? Are there any left? They look yummy! I was going to make some snickerdoodles, but it is tooooo hot here to bake. (107 today; this weekend it's supposed to be 109 and 110...) I'll stay inside and crochet.

Max is so cute! My puppy tries to follow me in my craft room (long story, our oldest son moved out. So now I have a craft room again. Kind of bittersweet.. ). She doesn't usually get into my yarn (she has once, though).

I just returned from grocery shopping, fixed a big cup of vanilla caramel coffee, and then found the cookie. Now I'm hungry! You must not have yelled loud enough for us to come get our cookie, or we would have been there in a flash. Boy is it hot outside:eek.

Oh, dear, I am sorry to hear you are having major heart surgery. It is no fun, I've been there twice. Take care!

 

Stopped by the PO while I was out, I mailed off 4 more squares this morning.

Cookies? Those look delish! Almost makes me want to bake some too but my kitchen is a wreck right now. I can't seem to pry myself away from my crocheting long enough to do anything but look on here for eye candy. I even put off those chores I mentioned earlier to post the pattern I promised you ladies...

[imanurse55]

Last week I sent out 9, and only received 5 responses. I think after another week, I will pm the others, to find out what happened to the packages.

Probably some of them just don't respond,

Whatever!!! I'm having fun making them, and sending them out.

And I loved the one you sent me- finally found the USB cord to my camera- and am charging the camera now- will post a pic tomorrow! (But I did thank you when I received it- can't imagine not)

[smith]

I finally laid them all out and found out I only need 7 to complete! 6 by 7 eight inch squares are just perfect in the evening outside or in the winter watching tv....
