Linda T~Your Painted Desert is just beautiful. Someday, would you write out the pattern for the 4 color squares? I'm not clever enough to ever figure that out myself. I'm sorry it's been so hot for your stay in Texas. Last summer was much cooler and we had lots of rain...of course, that was really abnormal.

 

Linda M~Congratulations on finishing your shawl.

 

Tracy~You've been a square-making machine this week! WTG! (Squares added.)

[QueenOfCrochet]

Yeah Cara, that's why I like to crochet them too but unfortunately I have no idea how to crochet Tink in the middle. I'de be rich if I could figure it out.

 

 

Congrats to Wendy & Linda for hitting 2,000. You gals are awesome.

[Super Granny]

Nope, Cara doesn't have the directions yet, but she will after I get home in about 10 days or so.

 

Come on, Shelly!!! The 3 of us have been so close all the way through this challenge. You can do it, too!!!

 

Mary ~ Start me over with 7 solids ~ the rest of that block.

[Super Granny]

Well it will have to wait until tomorrow for me to join Wendy and Linda.... I had a baby blanket I had to finish up today so had to quit on my saltines for a while...

 

Mary.... 29 solids and 36 bi-colored for me please... that leaves me with 78 points left to get... probably when I finish my bicolored ones tomorrow I'll have enough...

 

I need to get Linda's address so I can send her something.. I already have Wendy's...

[Super Granny]

Well another restless night... I did another 16 solids

[Aussie]

Howdy everyone,

 

Had a great day at the pedal prix race, you can see photos at the sky cal. I was able to take my crocheting with me and got block 7 and 8 done so now its just finishing up side 2 of the pillow, doing the zipper and sewing it all together.

[Misa]

Good morning ladies

 

Shelly - I'm sorry you're having trouble sleeping. I know how rough that can be. Hope you get some rest soon Upside is that you're making lots of saltines and you're almost there, too!

 

Wendy - I'll have to have a peek at the pics Grats on the progress on the pillow

 

Well, I'm trying to wake up enough to run the grocery store while folks are at church. It's the best time to shop. Nice and quiet

[tracysthings]

Morning Cara.

 

Mary, 19 solids for me, please.

[judianne]

I'm back for a minute...

 

Good morning, Cara!

[busy-bee-lmt]

They're on the list.

[Skysmom]

Shelly, I have you at 1987 points as of now. Have you updated your total in your signature?

[tracysthings]

Just Ducky is done, just the border now.

[Skysmom]

Tracy, that's wonderful! Did you bring other WIPs with you?

[Priszm]

Good morning everyone!

 

Cara, while you're at the store, can you pick me up some milk, 4x6 index cards and a really cute small stamp to put on those index cards? I figure it's cheaper to get the index cards to use for recipes than buy recipe cards. But I did find a box I like at Michael's yesterday! Today I'm going to stain it, then paint the stencils on and the box for the recipe cards will be done By the middle of the week I should be back on the pink ribbon 'ghan.

Shucks! You caught me too late I agree stamping the cards would probably be less expensive plus it'll make them personal

[Priszm]

DBF thinks I should try and find a set of food related stamps from different "categories", that way I could stamp dessserts with something sweet, etc. I want to try and find something that'll somewhat match the stencils I got. Plus, I don't have to worry about the extra empty cards. They'll be ok with that one stamp.

Go look at Michael's and Dollar Tree. I find really cool $1 stamps there all the time. Lots of them have food themes. The ones at Michael's are usually up front .

[tracysthings]

Mary, I brought a couple more projects with, a 2-strand baby blanket and my ATW. I also brought some yarn with to make some baby things, I am making a baby dress from the July/August issue of Crochet Today! magazine.

 

For those of you who aren't in the Sky Cal, here is my niece

 

Peeking over my shoulder

[busy-bee-lmt]

Priszm, that sounds really cool! I find neat stamps at Michael's, too.

 

Hi, everyone. The grandkids are full of energy today and the grandmothers are all shot. Yikes! Keeping up with them is a real handful and a half. And doing it for 3 weeks is something else again. I played catch with Austen last night and am sporting a beauty of a bruise on my wrist this morning from where I stopped one of his throws. I feel really, really old today.

 

I think I need to go crochet for a while.

[tracysthings]

Linda, you need to be careful you don't damage your crochet hands! Hope the bruise isn't too painful.

[canostreasures]

Well I have been piecing my saltines together to make the first child on the 'We're all God's Children' quiltghan. Taking much longer than I imagined...:whewI just about have it but there are many mistakes on this first block....I didnt pay attention to the stuff I needed to pay attention too. But I am learning as I go... I like the way the next one will turn out tho. This is a cute pattern and already have decided to make another when I am done with this one.... My sister will love it.

I like the harvest one as well....My step mom would love it for her home. So maybe after I finish this one I will do the harvest one before starting this one again..... See look not good for my stashbusting score or my sky projects I get too many wonderful ideas from these boards....And I still have christmas gifts that I am already suppose to be done with.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Linda, you need to be careful you don't damage your crochet hands! Hope the bruise isn't too painful.

Actually it doesn't hurt at all. It's just very large and multicolored.

 

Kim was so funny last night when I was crocheting those 7 squares. She kept swiping them, counting them, laughing, and putting them back only to repeat the process before I could even finish the next saltine. Man she was having fun! :lol
