Good morning everyone

 

I haven't made any new saltines lately - it's been another busy week... That has been the story of my summer it seems. But I am slowly attaching some of the squares I've made onto my ATW. I plan to get more attached today

[canostreasures]

Thank you for all that ya do...:clap:clap I have a birthday party this evening so I am not sure if I will be back to post today or not but...I have 13 more solids and 10 more bicolors to add have a great day.

Wendy, Hi!

 

Great job on the pillow...:clap

Many times I prefer sewing by hand, esp for something as "tight" as a zipper.

[Aussie]

Judy morning to you. thanks:hug yes I preferred to sew the zipper by hand, Im always worried that my crocheting will get stuck in the sewing machine and wreck it.

[tracysthings]

Wendy, that came out great! I like the effect of one big on one side and the 4 small on the other. Do you want to come sew in zips for me if I get brave enough to try something like that?

[Aussie]

Tracy thanks. Im getting quite good at them now, still dont like doing them though. Yes I will come over and do yours if you like.

[tracysthings]

I will let you know when I have done it then.

She doesn't she lives in Iowa but her husbands family has always vacationed in Gulf Shores Alabama. Its a beautiful resort area on the coast south of Mobile. I'm not sure how they got into being such big Alabama fans. But the last 2 years we have spent a week in Gulf Shores on the beach and it was GREAT! They have a great outlet mall there and a restaurant called "Lamberts" where they throw rolls at you and its great food and fun! I think we will make it a tradition!

I'm hoping you all will like it! I've been working on more to so we shall see! Now if only I can find someone to crochet them for me! It takes a lot less time to design one than it does to crochet one!

It's beautiful, Wendy! You did a wonderful job with the zipper, too.

Good Morning, all. We just came in from mowing and it's supposed to be 107 today...and for the next week. Now, I'm in where it's cool and it feels wonderful.

 

Carla~13 solids and 10 bicolors added.

 

Hi Valerie, I hope you're enjoying a weekend off. Will you have some crochet time?

 

Wendy~I knew you couldn't stay away from the little squares much longer.

 

Hi Miss Tracy!

 

Yep, I've done the scorecard in both Excel and Word...even with going through Wordpad or Notepad, the integrity of the columns is lost when you copy/paste into the 'Ville. I love Excel, too! DD and I did every single Wedding detail in it and could each make changes when needed...

EEW! Keep that heat that direction! We have been in the mid 90s and thats hot enough for me! and to think we want to move back to phoenix where its been 115! what am I thinking!

[tracysthings]

Mary. Yes, stay indoors where it is cool. Much better to when it is hot outside and cool inside.

I picked up a couple neat booklets at a yard sale today and there was a pattern in there for a quilt-ghan with little sail boats on it. Here is a link to one for sale on Amazon. It's the blue one on the cover (but hard to see)

There is also a kittens in a row pattern in this one too

 

The second booklet I got has a cute kittie pillow done in saltines. Check the picture ont he back cover of this booklet:

50 cents for both of them

Karen I think I like your sale items better I went to Penny's today and for some reason there's no tax on clothes. Now, Florida has in years past done a tax break for back to school shopping. But I haven't heard anything about it this year, so I don't know if that's what this was or what. I went in for 1 thing! I needed some new bras, and I ended up spending almost $100! I also got 4 new tops. So Karen, definitely like your's better

[judianne]

Great books, Karen!!

[Misa]

Good afternoon ladies

 

Wendy - The pillow came out great Excellent job on the zipper. I, too, am afraid to try to using the machine on yarn. It's a nice machine and I don't wanna mess it up

 

Mary - Okay, had to go check and see what our forecast was after your post. We're slated for 107 too Think the grocery run will happen in the middle of the night when it gets down in the 80s. Thank goodness for 24 hours HEBs

 

Karen - Great finds at the yard sale

 

Priszm - Ohh another Penney's junkie huh? I love Penney's. It's my favorite non-yarn store. I always get in trouble there

 

Yep, just getting up. Well, about an hour ago. That's what happens when you don't go to bed until 7 a.m.

I hate shopping for bras... Tough to find a comfy one that doesn't drive me nuts. Sports bras are even worse. By the time they are tough enough to hold thinngs relatively still when exercising they are near impossible to get in or out of It's a close second (after my shoes) to go when I get home

 

Back to sewing my saltines together. The light purple round is attached now and I'm onto the medium purple. Hubby and I may go fishing for a bit this evening and then watch some TV. I'll get another picture posted soon
