Hi Wendy, Mary, Cara and Julie.

Glad your nephew could help you Cara.

Julie, can't wait to see pics of your PS.

Hello to everyone else, too.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Wendy - Oh yes, there's tons of room in our attic. It's 850 sq ft with 10 ft ceilings. We figure it is so large because a 2nd story was planned but never done. We might add the 2nd floor some day...then again we might not

 

I called 1-800-RENT-A-NEPHEW and lo and behold for 20 bucks he came and moved the stuff into the attic and took out the garbage! My room is now clean and tidy!!!!

Way to go, Cara.

Hi, Wendy.

Hi, Stacy.

I'm working on block #5 now.

[Super Granny]

Cara.. can I move into your attic... I'll be good... just give me a coffee pot, microwave, and all my yarn and books and I'll be happy...

Me too!

 

'nite ladies...

[Krystal16]

Hey, let's have a treehouse, but instead we'll all stay in Cara's Attic. Instead of the Happy Yellow House, it'll be "Cara's Attic". Now we know where "Annie's Attic" comes from!

 

Working my way on my Test project. Gotta go sit and do some ends on the FF or I'll be in some real hurt later this week. Ugh...

[Super Granny]

if I was closer I'd help you Krystal but you live too far for me to travel for that...

[Skysmom]

Three hours of making squares tonight and I've loved every minute of it. Yep...I'm still addicted!

 

See you all tomorrow.

[JulieKay]

Cara

It sounds like your Rent -a-nephew backfired---

Now you have a whole gang wanting to move into your attic . I hope you have lots of space up there !

[Aussie]

Julie morning to you. How is everything.

[Aussie]

[JulieKay]

Howdy there Miss Wendy

Everything is okey dokey here . I'm just in slow gear !

 

I see you are still cranking out those squares--- good for you !

[Aussie]

Yes and I only have 1600 to go to meet my 2008 resolution..:lol

 

I see you have your new project sitting there in your avatar, its going to look great. What colors did you say you were going to use.

[tracysthings]

Mary, I like your avatar. Julie, yours too.

Last night I was VERY tired and decided that I would just finish the saltine I was busy with, and when I looked again there were 7!!! I think that comes with watching a movie and saying "I am going to bed" and then wanting to see what happens. My cousin and his family are moving out today, so not sure how much crocheting or chatting I will be doing. Have a great day everyone.

[Krystal16]

Krystal you will get those dreaded ends done dont worry.

 

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I worked on it quite a bit last night and made a dent. Now I just have to keep at it.

 

K 29 Solids and 4 bicolors. thanks

 

Got it.

From your place? If so, it will be great to have some room now!

[LaurieE]

I just started the "It Takes a Village" (aka Friendship Star) afghan. As a quilter, that's one of my favorite designs. I'm working on this at my weekly Sit and Stitch since it doesn't involve a whole lot of thinking and I can join in on conversations. I have 2 blocks completed and enough squares for 2 more blocks to be assembled. I'll take a picture of my progress so far.

 

I'll only be able to post from work since I'm on dial-up at home and the really long threads get timed out.

Sounds like a busy day for you - I'll bet you're going to enjoy more space.

[Misa]

Good morning ladies

 

Well, the attic is already spoken for....kinda. We have a very good friend whose DH isn't doing well at all. I think she'll be pretty lost when he's gone. They've been married since they were 17 and they're 60 this year. We're trying to talk her into moving in here when the time comes. So far she's balking though so it may become our bedroom if we can figure out how to get me up there. Stairs are a bit of a "challenge" for me

 

Welcome Laurie That's one of my favorites as well

 

Well, my house cleaning seems to be all caught up except the dusting and mopping and I think I'll save that for Friday morning so it'll be fresh when my sister and niece get here Friday night. So what shall I do with myself all day? Well, I guess I'll just have to crochet all day

[tracysthings]

I wish it was my house, but I am renting from them at the moment. They are in the "buy-to-let" business and we shared this house from September until now. They were going to buy a 2-bed place for me to rent, but the 4-bed house came up first, so they are moving into that one and we will stay here for now. There is someone else sharing with us, for now. I like the house we are in now, but I won't be able to afford it on my own and would be quite big for just the two of us. There are 4 bedrooms and two lounges, or it can be used as a 5 bed with 1 lounge. There is still a lot of building going on around the estate, so hopefully they will be building some more 2-bed properties (or even a 3-bed so I can have a craft room ).

[Skysmom]

Tracy, that sounds like a great arrangement...I had pictured you in a big mess surrounded by people moving from your house.

 

Cara ~ I hope you're having a great day crocheting. The storms woke me up at about 4 a.m. and for some reason, I've been in a cleaning mode, too. Going to do a few more things and then crochet this afternoon.

[Misa]

Mary - I am thoroughly enjoying my day so far Having a little break for a pastrami sammich and checking the boards. Then I'll be back at it. This is the life

[Aussie]

Morning everyone

 

Laurie welcome to the group. Thats a nice pattern your doing.

 

Cara Im glad your having a great day and getting lots of crocheting done.

 

Tracy sounds like a good arrangement. Hopefully you will get the house you want so you can have a craft room.

 

Mary hows it going with your projects.

 

Judy hello there.

 

Krystal what are you working on now besides getting rid of ends on the FF ghan.

 

Gotta go get ready for work back soon.

Oh, but it is a mess (with some of their things laying around to be moved), but luckily one I don't have to clean or move it) So far they have moved their son's things to his new room and he is asleep already (he chose the smallest room in the house), most of the things out of their room (at this minute they are putting their bedroom furniture back together, 9pm at night ) and I packed all the lounge things (cd's, dvd's, books, etc) and they have taken all that across already. They have started taking all the foodstuffs across and I just realised they have taken ALL the cereals, so DD is going to have to have toast (if they leave some bread) for breakfast or we will have to leave a bit earlier to get her some cereal bars at the shop for breakfast. I can just get myself a breakfast of cereal and coffee at the gym after my workout to keep me going til I can get to the shop. It will be very quiet when they are gone.
