Queen Tracy and Queen Wendy ...you have your own personal smilies.

[tracysthings]

Aaaawwwww, thank you, Mary.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Thanks, Tracy. It's going to take me a bit to get caught up on what everyone is doing now, but at least now I can. John saw one deer this afternoon, but too far away and too small to shoot. I just pulled out the yarn and have done the first of hopefully many more for this weekend.

Evening All,

 

I've had a lazy day today...sleeping and reading. I'm almost caught up on rest. It's going to help that I won't have to open and close. I'll open and someone else will close. By the time vacation rolls around, I should be caught up.

 

Hi Linda. Hope you have a great weekend.

[Misa]

At last. We have central heat and air It's nice and cool in here now. Just the way I like it! I'm glad we had it done but I'm glad it's over.

Yay!!! Cara, that's great news. And you're still sane! That's even better.

 

I forgot to mention that I was finally able to get the pictures off my camera this morning before we left, so I'll be able to do some show and tell next week.

[Skysmom]

Cara, that's great that they were able to get it all done so quickly.

 

Linda ~ I'm cheering for the deer again.

 

The 4th scarf is started and have I told you I'm getting tired of U of Texas colors? I want to get back to working on my IC soon!

 

See you all tomorrow.

[tracysthings]

Mary, I am almost 1/3 of the way with the scarf. Thank you for the link to the pattern.

 

Cara, that's great they got finished so soon. You might never leave the house again with the perfect temperature indoors.

[rii698]

Cara -- So glad the work is done, and that you are basking in indoor comfort Is there another step in the remodeling process, or are you done for awhile?

 

Congrats Tracy and Wendy on your Queen of WIPs honors

 

Mary -- Your scarves are coming right along? So, you are tired of the colors, no? I hear you! Who would have ever thought I would get tired of blue and off-white?!? Once this IC is done, I do not think I am going to look at these for a loooooong time. You have one more scarf to start? You can do it

 

Please add 40 solids for me. I DID get to crochet last evening. Hope I can get in more tonight

[judianne]

Cara...that was fast :clap:clap

[busy-bee-lmt]

Good morning, everyone. John is out hunting, but Mark slept in. It rained last night so everything is WET! Kim and I are just getting moving and Michelle is still asleep. What a hunting party!

 

I got quite a few saltines done last night. Watched a program about the King Tut exhibit that opens here in Atlanta today. I'm going to have to get to the Civic Center to see it. It sounds fabulous! It will be here for 6 months.

 

Have a great weekend! Happy crocheting all!

Happy Saturday, everyone. It was 74 yesterday and it's 39 this morning...brrr.

 

Tracy, you are most welcome. You'll have the scarf finished in no time!

 

Dusti ~ How much more do you have to do on your IC? I know it's going to be beautiful. 40 more solid squares added. Maybe we should trade colors for a while.

 

Hi Linda. It sounds like you're having fun, even if the hunters are a bit relaxed. That's good for the deer, though.

 

Laundry is almost done, bills are paid and after a trip to the store I'll be spending time with my hook. I think little squares are in order for today.

[jessicagil]

I am fighting the urge to start my ribbon ghan. I am so much going on here. Like another WIP will make it all better lol. Things are going here. I am treading water for a bit before I file papers. The holidays are just so hard for me to be mean. I think I will start my ribbon ghan when I can go buy a plastic see through tub for all the squares & yarn.

 

BTW Micahels & JoAnns have caron pounders on sale for $5. Michaels also has Pound Of Love for $5.

[Misa]

Good day ladies

 

Ah yes, it is nice to have the workers out of the house. But they were very good about messes and being professional with a good bit of personality thrown in. They were very funny but kept on working. And best of all....this whole project came in about 300 bucks UNDER budget!!! Now I can relax and actually go buy groceries today

 

No, no other projects for a while. This was expensive enough Windows are next but we're gonna pay cash for those. That's enough loans for a good long time

 

Now that the dust has settled I can get back to my BB

You are such an enabler!

[Krystal16]

Ooh, those pounders are great. I love them. Too bad I already have enough to own stock in the company! I WILL NOT BUY YARN... I WILL NOT BUY YARN....

Can we? Oh, PLEASE!! I have 17 blocks to go, so...425 saltines, and then...

 

I can contemplate my next quilt-ghan

 

I have not even broken out my hook today, but I had the neighbors over for coffee and sweets, so the kitchen and dining room were *quickly* de-stashed and swiped clean. I think that's the best way to tackle stubborn chores -- invite company over and have them tell you, "We'll be there in about 20 minutes, Dear." You should have seen the girls and I scramble to neaten up! Whew :whewThe girls are napping, my kitchen is clean, and it is time to catch up here at the 'Ville for a few minutes. Hope everyone is having a good Saturday!

[Skysmom]

Hi Jessica. Can we vote on when you start your ghan? Oh good...I vote for "go ahead and start." I don't mean to make light of what you're going through. Take care of yourself.

 

Dusti ~ It sounds like a really nice day. Only 425 more squares to go?

 

Cara, I hope you're able to relax now that the workmen are gone.

 

Hi to Judy and Krystal!

[econ-nerd]

Mary - another 43 solids for me (also you had my total as 1852 and I come up with 1842... is my math off?)

[krazy-kitty]

Afternoon ladies, thought I would share a photo of the cat quilt so far, not happy with it as you can see loads of mistakes. Gonna do a border in pink and black and make it bigger by hdc around untill it's lapgahn size, or I could make it into a cushion cover,mmmmmmm. not sure yet what to do

 

 

[Super Granny]

Roxy I think it's cute... I have a black cat with green eyes except he has a white spot the size of a half dollar on his chest...

[econ-nerd]

Roxy - I love him!! He looks great

[Skysmom]

Happy Sunday, ladies.

 

Oh, Roxy ~ Your cat quilt ghan is adorable! Thanks for sharing the picture.

 

Karen ~ Here's what I have since the Friday before last (Nov. 7): 1744 plus 21, 52, 35 = 1852. Today's 43 makes it 1895. I think we need to go with my number - it's higher than yours.

Roxy - aside from loose ends, I honestly can't see any mistakes. Rest easy, your cat quilt is very cute! What would make it awesome is if you top-stitched a black line down the middle of each eye...
