Good morning, gang. I'm so slow with my crocheting right now. I think it has something to do with not being able to get comfortable while I doing them. Anyway, here is the latest picture of the Painted Desert. It's now 40% done. Hope everyone has a good day. John and Kim leave on vacation on Friday. I'm staying home and housesitting the pets and resting.

 

Beautiful, love the colors!

[Krystal16]

 

That is very neat!

[tracysthings]

Very pretty, Linda.

 

Wendy, you are being a again, aren't you? Trying to encourage Cara into getting a WIP wheel like the rest of us have!

[busy-bee-lmt]

Thanks for all the nice comments on my Pained Desert. I do like how this pattern is coming to life. I have to crochet squares now for a while, as I've used up all the ones that were done. While the 4-color squares aren't hard to make they require more attention than the solids and bi-colored ones. I can't do them on auto-pilot. :lol

Linda your painted desert is gorgeous, love the colors.

 

Mary howdy, whatcha working on.

 

Cara I forgot about the ATW, how far are you with that one.

Tracy watcha up to, are you deciding on colors for your NEW Project.

[tracysthings]

oops, Wendy, hope it comes off and you can see what is happening here. I was running away because, well, you see, ummm, I gave Krystal just the TINIEST bit of of advice on one of the other CALS. It was just the smallest amount of advice. I AM BEING GOOD AND TRYING VERY HARD NOT TO ADD A WIP FOR AT LEAST A WEEK. I will try very hard, I will try very .....

[tracysthings]

Mary, 4 solids for me please.

[Krystal16]

TINY BIT OF ADVICE?

 

I believe it was ALL YOUR IDEA, Dear...

 

We had Bubble & Squeak for dinner, BTW.

Bubble & Squeak???? That's a new one for me. Translation please.

[Krystal16]

I had Tracy on IM one day, and I asked if she would translate some clearly English/British Foods that my kids had heard during a Sunday cartoon (the granny was English).

 

Bubble & Squeak - leftovers (originally was cabbage & potatoes, I guess?)

Bangers & Mash - sausage & potatoes

and a few others I can't remember....

 

some were pretty gross.

Good morning ladies

 

 

 

Pickles - Oh goodness. The nights of no sleep. I still remember them well. Is this your first?

 

 

Pickles ~ How old is the new baby? I'll bet it won't be long at all until he/she? is sleeping through the night.

 

 

She, Lennon, is 3 weeks old. She's my first. Went to the doc today and they switched her to soy formula and gave her medicine for acid reflux. Let's hope this works! I don't know if I can handle another night like last night! :yawnShe was inconsolable and screaming in pain! :cryNot easy for a new mommy to see! Good thing I have a very supportive husband/daddy helping me out! Posting a pic because I'm a proud new mommy and thats what we do! Some of you have seen pics in another CAL sorry you have to put up with them again!

Hello Ladies,

 

It's been so long, I've almost gotten over my withdrawal symptoms. I have missed coming in here. As you all know, I lost my assistant manager. I have only 1 shift supervisor that can open and close the store with me. She is hourly, therefore, I have to cover everything outside her regular hours. I haven't been off since sometime in February. I ususally work at least 3 to 4 double shifts a week. I just finished inventory on yesterday and I hadn't been to bed in 2 days. I came home about 2 pm and crashed. I've been up a couple of hours and decided to drop you girls a line. I have to open the store in about 6 hours. I will order for the next truck and leave about 1:30. I have a floating assistant manager this week. He will work for me on Friday & Saturday. Hooray, I get 2 off days. I'm presently training 2 shift supervisors and hopefully I can get my life back. I miss my and my friends here at the Ville. Needless to say, I will not be able to go back and read everything. I'll just pick up here. Enough about me. How is everyone? I've missed you all so much. I'll check back in later today after I leave work. Thank you all for the cards I've received. I haven't forgotten about my cards...just haven't had time to buy them. I will thank each of you individually for those I have received later. Hope you all have a wonderful day. I'm going back to bed.

I love you guys.

[CandEsMom]

Pickles, your baby is beautiful! And I love her name. Congratulations and I'll pray the new formula helps and you can get some good rest!
