I knew there was a reason for a big stash, comes in handy when one does not have furniture.

Hi Tracy...good to see you too!!!

[Skysmom]

Mary since January I have done at least 200 (including the 51)

Okay - 200 it is!

 

Okie dokie here's where I am so far. Just about out of yarn. I wanted BD to take me to HL tonight but he said we have to wait until tomorrow :grump

 

Anyway...here's the photo with Little Miss Tuon getting in on the act

 

I love it! The colors are gorgeous.

 

Mary, how is your ghan coming along?

 

Ladies, Denise is causing trouble here!

 

I trashed it. My version of a Single Irish Chain ghan was really boring.

 

Mary - Hmm, that's a good question about the cutoff I'd say either til the end of September or the end of the year. After that it's a fresh start Just my two cents

I think the end of September would be good, too. Maybe someone else will have an idea.

[Skysmom]

Tracy, I know you'll be glad to get your things this weekend. How is Kyla doing with her crocheting?

[tracysthings]

Mary, it will be good to have everything in one place in case I need it. Kyla has been knitting again this week. (I think she may have project ADD, no idea where that came from ) She has been making some things for her Bratz Baby and Bratz Ponyz. Last I heard she was making a saddle.

Morning everyone

 

I got only one square for the GT done last night. Its raining here today so its a nice crochet day.

 

Krystal your STIC is looking great so far. Well done:clap

 

Mel great progress, love the colors. Its addictive isnt it and so portable.

 

Kidge welcome to the group.

 

Cara your IC looks fantastic, I see that Miss Tuon is in charge there making sure it looks ok.

 

Mary hows things going. Im not really fussed about the cutoff.

 

Tracy at least Kyla is doing some craftwork, which I think is great.

The fact that she knits and crochets already is amazing! My aunt that taught me to crochet at 7 or 8 tried to teach me to knit...not a pretty sight.

 

Time to start working on dinner. See you all later.

Cara, that is seriously wide enough for a king?! Dang! I'm gonna have to be careful on width when I do mine. Yikes! But it's looking gorgeous!

 

I decided what I want to do for a headboard. Now mind, this is after NOT buying a headboard, footboard and the metal rails at the Salvation Army that was only $75 and FULL wood! I didn't like the whole of it enough to spend the money. So we stopped at Big Lots, and they had some different memory boards. DBF and I are gonna make it ourselves so I can pick the colors I want. Still deciding on that, my comforter is currently cream with fall colored fun fur. But here's a pic of what I'm gonna do.

[Skysmom]

Val, that is such a great idea! You and DBF sound really creative - can't wait to see what colors you use.

 

It's only been 2 days and I'm in little square withdrawal. I may do the double IC, but can't decide for sure. Of course, it's not like there aren't a couple of WIP's upstairs that need finishing.

[judianne]

Mary, I made 8 solid saltines today - and found a stash of 50 others from years back. If they count, that's good, if not, that's good, too.

[judianne]

Now, where are all the granny squares I made years ago and never put together

I just found 50!

[judianne]

Cara, I love the colors in your bedspread!!

We just need some wood to make frames, fabric, batting and ribbon. I'm leaning towards a cream primary fabric, red ribbons and gold buttons. My Afghan on the bed is cream, my bedskirt (that goes w/ the comforter in the closet ) is maroon and my curtain is a gold color. And later, when I get my IC done, I can change the ribbons and buttons! We were looking at that and I was leaning towards a blue and green to go w/ the purple. Which is a bit down the road

Judy's making little squares again! If the 50 were made before the contest started, I guess we shouldn't include them.

Sounds like a great plan!

That's what I thought! Nice and simple, and even better, Joann's has the 10% off everything coupon this weekend!

Way to go! Sometimes, they just seem to roll off the hook.

I'll take a little bit. Not alot, there's a reason I moved from Minnesota to Florida after all .

 

We were in the mid to high 90's F, and I have no idea what the humidity was. Which would raise the "feels like". We were out running around with DBF's truck and had to make a stop back at my place to switch to my car. His AC has been slightly on the fritz, it was too hot to be messing with that today.
