Thank you everyone, i'll pass the nice comments along.

 

Judy~He did pick the colors out too, he really did a great job. I'm also teaching him how to make the saltines himself. Oh and Doa wants to hang it up instead of using it. Tre also gave him a card & it was so touching. You have to know my son, he is the mouthiest & most misbehaved one out of all my kids yet he does the nicest things. He's weird, he's either an angel or satan. He has no middle ground.

Tabby, the Dad ghan is wonderful! Tre had a great design idea.

 

Wendy, we are only about 100 miles north of Cara...but we tend to get quite a bit colder here.

 

'Hope everyone has had a nice weekend. I've been making squares and watching the golf tournament.

[Misa]

Wendy - Yep, like Mary said we're pretty close together but this screwy Texas weather give us different weather even that close. I'm probably more hot natured than Mary, too. If it gets above about 55 degrees I start getting hot

 

Tabby - That's a great idea to hang the ghan. Oddly enough, many times it's the kid that is the smart mouth that is the most sensitive. He just covers up his feelings with the wisecracks

[QueenOfCrochet]

Well, i'm gonna fill in those wisecracks with some putty.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Thank you Mary.

Okay finished up the Amish panel lapghan last night. I still hate the colors though

 

Cara, it's beautiful. :clap:yay You're braver than me to tackle that many black squares. I'd be even nuttier than I am, if I did one like that.

I'll post this here too...

 

I finished the "dad" ghan which only ended up being about the size of a baby blanket. I used a round of sc & hdc so I can add to it & make it bigger if he wants. I also included a pic. of my oldest twin son Tre fishing yesterday with his Dad. He is the one who designed the "dad" ghan.

Cudoes to Tre for a great design and color combo. :clap:yay You did a super job on it Tabby. :clap:yay

Sounds like my son, Tab! I swear there's an angel on one shoulder and the "bad one" on the other! And hanging the ghan...that would be sweet!

Atleast someone feels my pain. Your son is full grown now, please tell me it gets better.

Way to go, Bean!!! You've been really cranking out the squares. Seeing the picture form is a lot of fun. Good for you.

[Krystal16]

Tabby - Great DAD ghan!!! I have a mouthy/sensitive kid, too...

[judianne]

Well....let's just say there is now *some* light at the end of the tunnel. DS is 33:lol

The redeeming thing, though, is the fact that they are not deliberately malicious...

Good Morning everyone! No frost this morning. I just went out and uncovered things and everything looks fine. Errands today, then home to do laundry and crochet.

 

Hi Bean ~ Great progress on the squares.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Good morning, everyone. The weatherman said it was going to get down to 35 last night. I'm not sure if it got that low ar not. It's about 42 now. It's overcast and cloudy so I don't think it's going to warm up all that much today. It was in the low 50's yesterdaqy and I think it's supposed to stay in that range for the next couple of days.

I have one seam to go and the 5th block will be assembled. I have all the solid and bi-color squares done for the next two blocks, but still have to crochet all the 4-color squares, so that looks like what's on the agenda for today.

[Misa]

Good morning ladies

 

Bean - Great job finishing that many squares

 

Mary - Brr...now it's cold down here this morning. Just maybe because it's before 10:30 which is the earliest I got up all weekend

 

Today I am working on the Godess ghan in red that I'm gonna keep all for my little self After I clean the house, do some plants (silk, I'm not brave like Mary ) and do a little sewing I may actually put the sewing off until tomorrow. Monday's I'm usually pretty stiff and have little energy so the other is probably enough

[Skysmom]

Hi Linda and Cara.

 

The afghan in red sounds beautiful, Cara...can't wait to see it.

 

Linda, how many blocks is your painted desert? You've sure done a lot so far.

 

Have a good morning - I'm off to get these errands out of the way.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Thanks Judy. Yeah, Tre isn't a smart ummm...ya know what on purpose either. He just doesn't think before he speaks. I keep telling him that's why he doesn't have a girlfriend, he's just way to cocky (can I say that?) Well, I guess I just did. Although i'm glad he doesn't have a GF yet because he's only 12. His twin has 2 GF's. Geeze Louise, i'm in for it.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Congrats Bean on getting a ton of squares done.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Linda, how many blocks is your painted desert? You've sure done a lot so far.

Hi there, Mary. The plan is for it to be 4 blocks wide and 5 blocks long. When I get that far, I'll decide if it's big enough or needs to be bigger.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Krystal ~ 48 solids, 8 bi-colors, & 16 4-colors - [blocks 6 & 7]

[Skysmom]

16 4- color squares! Wow, Linda...you are so talented to figure out all these different combinations. Someday, I'd like to get braver and try some.

[tracysthings]

Hello Mary, how are your plants? Glad they didn't freeze.

Linda, you are a genius at making multicoloured squares!

K - 4 solids for me, please.
