Very pretty, Denise!

Judy, I will try to post more often.

[EMedley]

Morning all! Thanks for the nice compliments

Guess what its doing today in good ol MI?? and its waaaay out there. Im just hoping my DH isn't working on the flight line today getting his feet all wet. They sent off some more jets this week so they are running out of ones to work on before this whole base move type deal we got going on(which means we will be moving too) BUT since its raining its a good day to work on 1)feeling better because I am ALL stuffed up :sneeze and 2) AFGAHNS!! yippee

 

I think I'll have crochet ADD today though because there are dishes to do and just one more FBB to finish before monday...but I have the whole weekend off

[Titus2woman]

I haven't checked in here in a very long while~since the Jasie Baby Blanket I made for my Aunt, which was a very big hit btw! Now I have the opportunity to make the precious gnome as a Christmas gift for an on-line friend. They have told their son lots of made up stories of a boy and a gnome, so they considered writing up the stories and also giving him this gnome~isn't that AWESOME? LOVE those kinds of gifts!!!

 

Anyway, any idea on what to charge for labor? TIA! I cannot even begin to share the depth of appreciation and gratitude on my heart for these patterns being available for us to sell the finished product. I'm just a little homeschool mom, but every little bit helps sooo much!!!!! (((((HUGS))))) sandi

We're not letting you off the hook that easily. Nope, no deadline...I think we set it up to go on as long as there is interest.

 

 

Well alrighty then. I'll keep plugging along one day I'll get there

[Skysmom]

Happy Friday, everyone. It's fun to see so many posts this morning.

 

Thank you all for the compliments.

 

Denise ~ All of your ghans are beautiful! I love the colors you're using for the IC. I can't remember what the one on the bottom is? Your squares are on the list.

 

Hi Linda M.~ Wow! Congratulations on finishing your squares for the IC. 119 more added.

 

Sure don't mean to miss anyone...the dr. put me on a low dose blood pressure med and I'm having a hard time concentrating. Thank goodness for sticky notes!

 

I hope everyone is having a great day...I'll post the scores after while.

[Klutzandme]

Errrrr......I decided to just crochet away on squares for awhile without joining them.....to finish my CASA I needed 34 more square in the RH buff color, and wouldn't you know.....I was on my last skein and got 33......errrrr now I get to get a skein for 1 square....oh well, add the rest to the stash...and I know that I don't have any of that color in my stash either....

[Klutzandme]

Oh by the way Mary, I love love love the colors on your IC....

[Misa]

Morning everyone. Well after another break from the saltines I've gathered what I think is enough yarn for Maddie's garden quilt. I plan to start that today sometime.

 

Can't wait to see the garden ghan

 

Mornin' everyone.

 

Well, I'm somewhat back into my routine now and back to making saltines. So Mary, please add 119 more solids for me. That is all I had left to finish my Irish Chain. I plan to work on sewing them together today.

 

That's great!

 

Good Morning Ladies,

 

 

I have not posted in a while and just wanted to say hello!

 

Mary, your IC is beautiful!

 

Shelly, love the colors. Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

Everyone have a wonderful day and keep up the awesome work!

 

 

Hi Selanda!

 

 

 

The 3 afghans I am busy with

 

Three at once! They look fabulous!

Hooray for the weekend off Yep, sounds like a cocooning day to me

Oh how neat! Dunno about a labor charge, but I charge $18 for a finished doll made out of RHSS or ILTY. That might not be enough though. What does everyone else think?

 

Sure don't mean to miss anyone...the dr. put me on a low dose blood pressure med and I'm having a hard time concentrating. Thank goodness for sticky notes!

 

 

Yes, sticky notes are wonderful aren't they? Wish I had the BP medicine excuse though

 

Yep, don't panic but I'm actually awake before noon Didn't go to bed until 6 this morning and was up by 10. Forced myself to get up. 6 a.m. is a little late even for me

[Skysmom]

Hi Laura Lee! Only one more square...that's just not fair. Do you want me to add 33 solids?

 

Thanks for the sweet comment.

[Skysmom]

'Morning, Miss Cara. Can you survive on 4 hours sleep?

[Misa]

'Morning, Miss Cara. Can you survive on 4 hours sleep?

 

Survive, yes. Function, doubtful :rofl

[Klutzandme]

Thanks for the sweet comment.

 

I will have to get you a better count sometime later today cause I did do a bunch more in the black, but no idea how many, so hold off for now, K?

[Skysmom]

Cara, I think $25 or $30 wouldn't be out of line at all.

 

Thanks, Laura. I won't add any for now.

[Skysmom]

I think you're probably right on track. I haven't sold a doll in over 5 years. I can't give 'em up But Santa and his Mrs will go to my sister for Christmas. She saw them and fell in love

[Krystal16]

Holy Moly... Shelly's on her way to her 2nd 2000!!!

[Misa]

Holy Moly... Shelly's on her way to her 2nd 2000!!!

 

Go Shelly! Go Shelly!

[EMedley]

Mary Im up to 166 now.

[Priszm]

Way to go Shelly! I haven't worked on my IC in awhile. I've been working on Christmas stuff. I have a problem. Maybe you guys can tell me what to do

 

I bought Vanna's Choice in Pink, Dusty Rose, Antique Rose and Dusty Green. I was going to do the braided afghan, but the joining (the crocheting around the braid itself) drove me nuts. So I thought maybe the Lacy Stars pattern (can be found at freepatterns.com), so I made up one. I really do like how the oclors look, but mine ended up being 6" with a J hook, instead of 8" with their suggested H hook. That'd be a lot of squares for an afghan by Christmas. So I thought maybe doing that square as an H bag.

 

So, right now it's a toss up between an H bag in the Lacy Stars square, or a round ripple and I think I'd "paint" the pinks. Please please tell me what to do since I can't make up my mind! Oh, and this is a gift for my Uncle's gf, this is the first time we're gonna meet her. Thank you!!

[rii698]

Way to go, Linda Wow, that is a lot of saltines at once. Congrats on finishing up your IC. I cannot wait to see photos of a finished one.

 

Lovely

 

142 solids and 1 bi colour for me please

Aren't you on a roll, Denise?!? Fantastic. You are so busy, yet you can keep 3 different patterns straight -- Keep the progress pictures coming!

 

I have a big pot of lentil-sausage soup simmering away. Can you tell I'm ready for cold weather? It's DH's favorite and I always make cornbread sticks to go with it.

 

Here are three out of five sections of my Double IC. (The sections aren't whipstitched together yet.) There is a light from bookshelves that is making a diagonal "shadow stripe" through the white blocks. (Clickable)

 

Mmmmm, Sausage Lentil Soup is one of my winter-time favorites, too. I really like the colors you have chosen for your IC. How large are you making it, again? Looks good thus far

 

 

Please add 25 solids to my total.

I love making RRs:c9 Those colors would be gorgeous in that pattern!

[EMedley]

k, add another 34 for me:clap that makes 200 yippeee!

got distracted today because of dishes and then I had to fix a wedding shower gift cross stitch that apparently in my pregnancy brain mush I forgot the B in December and glued the frame back on upside down...the couple didn't care but I sure did!!!

[Krystal16]

Erin - you always catch my attention when writing that "k" at the beginning like that. People here often put "K" when talking to me, and it's like having my name called in a crowd...

[Skysmom]

Erin~Yay for reaching 200 already! Are these all solids?

 

Dusti~Thank you! I'm making this one 5 x 5 blocks. 25 more added.

 

Val, have you already decided? I think the RR in those colors would be just beautiful!
