Funny how projects for everyone else get done, while ours get sidelined...

 

Yeah funny about that.

 

I got to work on the BIC again. I got 16 solids done.

 

Well done

 

Karen, love the 9 patch. Great colors!

 

Mary, 6 bi-colors and 22 solids for me.

 

The weather here in WI has difinately cooled down...nice and cool....makes me want to cuddle up under an afghan and crochet the day away!

 

Great progress.

 

Happy Monday, everyone. We're thrilled to see some much needed rain, but our power was off from 4:30 til about 7. DH had to shower and get ready to leave with flashlights.

 

Cara ~ Glad the trip to the bank is over with...and that you're home out of the rain safely.

 

Donna, I've added 16 more solids.

 

Laura Lee ~ You're past the half way mark now, aren't you? Will you be able to show us your Casa? Squares are added.

 

Hey Mary Im glad you got some much needed rain there. Isnt it a pain when the power goes off and it always does that at the most awkward times.

 

Denise is now allowed to chat and craft again. She has finished her assignments for this week and will not be getting any new ones until the 24th.

 

Tracy thats fantastic.

 

 

I havent done any saltines but I have another 4 GT squares done.

Wendy~Hi! Yay for 4 more GT squares. How many more do you have to make?

Great news, Denise. What are you working on now?

 

Hope everyone has had a good day/night. I was good today and did some cleaning and desk stuff. I'm reporting 32 squares for this evening.

That is just great, Denise. Amazing, actually. Are you starting anything new at present?

 

Pickles -- sorry to read about your friends' loss of their sweet baby. I took your words to heart and hugged everyone extra-tightly this morning. Here's one for you, too

 

Wendy -- Only 106 GT squares, no? Best of luck to you. How are you feeling, Dear? I'm thinking of you and hoping all is well.

 

Mary -- thanks for the comments on my scarecrows. The pattern came from the Lion Brand Kids e-mail and appealed to my love of fall. I was happy they were so well received by the Pre-K kiddies. Please add another 50 solids for me.

 

Have a nice day, Everyone!

Oh no. I am so very sorry about baby Kael. Big hugs to you and his family

Congrats on the new laptop! My geeky side is asking the system properties of the laptop. What is the company brand, how much memory in it, what kind of processor chip (AMD or Intel), processor speed, etc ?

 

I assume you use the Magnifier tool under Accessibility Wizard ? It's under Accessories on Start menu >> All Programs. (Microsoft tool to expand text on the monitor)

Let's see if I can answer any of these questions....

 

It's an IBM ThinkPad. 2g memory, 32 bit video card, 1.56 processor, Pentium M, dunno if it's AMD or Intel. Doesn't have the Intel logo on it so I'm assuming it's not Intel. I've had several Intel machines and they always have the logo Tried the magnifier. I'm not coordinated enough for that. I'll just wear my glasses like I'm supposed to

[Skysmom]

Oooh Cara! A new laptop-IBM is the only brand that DH's company will buy, so that's what he has.

 

After a not-so-fun morning full of phone calls, I'm going to crochet away the afternoon. It's cooler now, so I should get back to my Stitch Sampler. Have a great afternoon, everyone.

[denisethorpe]

I am doing saltines again

 

Im doing the ladybird and irish chain. Im hoping to get lots of done by the end of the week because then is back to work

[Skysmom]

Hi Denise! Good for you for having some crochet time. What colors will you use for the Irish Chain? I hope you are keeping Tracy from getting into mischief.

[Priszm]

What's the lady bird? I think I might start on my IC tonight I got the baby RR done (picture will be taken today) and decided I wanted to throw in a pair of booties. Yet, for some reason I seem incapable of making booties. They're not that difficult! I'm on the third pattern, and I'm liking this one. The other two patterns the booties didn't resemble the patterns

 

Mom finally gave me a final number of hotpads for her Christmas gifts. She needs 24 and I have 11 made. So I might do one of those tonight and some saltines. I'm itching to start on my IC

[Skysmom]

Val, yes you need to start your IC. Wow! 24 hotpads is a lot...and I don't do well with booties or socks. I finally decided it was a mental block and quit trying.

[tracysthings]

I have to keep Denise out of trouble! If she had her way, she would crochet while she was driving! Not really, she is being good and making saltines, the projects are pretty.

[denisethorpe]

My irish chain is grey, pink, yellow and burgundy. I have put it to one side and started the lady bird. The lady bird is very colourful.

 

I think it is much easier to knit booties than to crochet them

[Priszm]

Val, yes you need to start your IC. Wow! 24 hotpads is a lot...and I don't do well with booties or socks. I finally decided it was a mental block and quit trying.

 

I already have 11 done and the patterns I'm using are super quick and easy! Man, now I need to find them for you There's this one which I love because I love the different colors it can be done it. And then this one. The snowflake one I actually adjusted. For one side, I'm not joining the two pieces, instead I'm doing sc along each piece individually. I'm going to put velcro at the top and then insert potpourri pouches. Someone suggested I make it so the potpourri can be changed, which is a good idea but I don't think I want to make the pouches velcro too. As for the booties, I found this pattern and it's super easy! My booties actually look like the picture

[tahlara]

Hope to see the pictures of them when they are completed! The tote bag look great!

 

Im doing the ladybird and irish chain.

 

The Thinkpad is a good laptop. Intel used the copyright term, "Pentium" to show the chip version so I would assume that the laptop has an Intel processor chip. The laptop's properties sound like it's suited to your needs as an user. So happy for you!

 

Let's see if I can answer any of these questions....

 

It's an IBM ThinkPad. 2g memory, 32 bit video card, 1.56 processor, Pentium M, dunno if it's AMD or Intel. Doesn't have the Intel logo on it so I'm assuming it's not Intel. I've had several Intel machines and they always have the logo Tried the magnifier. I'm not coordinated enough for that. I'll just wear my glasses like I'm supposed to

 

I am sure it would be easy to do 12 hotpads within a month, 3 per week. And it looks like you are near 1/2 way to the goal!

[Skysmom]

Hi Ladies.

 

Val, I love the Starburst pattern! I agree that the color possibilities are endless. Yay for your booties coming out just right!

 

Denise ~ Your colors will be lovely for the IC.

 

Tracy and Denise ~ I envy you two for sharing your love of crocheting and knitting and having so much fun together. I want to come live with you.

 

DH came home this evening instead of tomorrow, so I made potato-leek soup and cornbread. Thank goodness I had the ingredients for something. Blocks #11 and #12 are joined! Now on to making more squares.
