Cara, I hope your headache goes away fast:hug

 

That is a hoot. I have a dresser, three bookshelves, and at least 8 plastic totes with yarn of various kinds, colors, and projects. And that is just the yarn and thread that is organized. :rofl

 

Hope all is going well for everyone today. I've run out of steam. I am trying out a pattern for hats for the charity crochet CAL next week. I think it's going to work out just fine. I'm getting creative with the pattern and not following the directions nearly as closely as I usually do. I've gotten to where I can do that since joining Crochetville.

Linda, you and I have an almost identical stash!

And what Charity CAL are you in?

[busy-bee-lmt]

Judy, it's the CAL that's held for four days once a month. The "May All-Charities Cal" is the 21st through the 24th this month. It's usually the "(Month) Squares for Charity" but last month we included hats and this month its anything for charity, not just squares and hats. It's when I crochet most of my preemie squares/afghans and preemie hats. I'm planning on making at least a couple of hats for brain surgery patients this month, hence the pattern practice.

I made the penguin one for my sis for Christmas, but I don't have a scanner to send a pic.I added a lot of rounds and made it a bigger blanket.I didn't think I could do it either but it turned out pretty good.

I made the Penguin one for my sis,it turned out really good. I don't have a scanner to send a picture. I made it alot bigger then it called for.I didn't think I could do it either but I did.

That's great!! Too bad you don't have a way to put the photo on here. We love photos So which one will you do next?

It did once I finally gave in and took a sinus pill

[judianne]

Thanks for the info, Linda. I have to start visiting the charity CALs again.

Hi again, everyone!

 

Cara - I'm glad you're headache got better.

 

So, I'm going to post pictures of my other two cats. I've had "mama guilt" since I posted Oliver and Cooper without posting pictures of Pipsy and Jackson.

 

Jackson is the tuxedo cat. He's my favorite. Shhhh....don't tell the other cats! Pipsy is the other and my only girl. My little Pipsy has feline lukemia. She gets pnemonia a lot, but is in a good spell right now. Thankfully, she has the middle of the road version. She can hope to have a nice, long life as long as she gets the care she needs. I spoil her rotten....well, they are all spoiled rotten.

 

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!! I'm sure I'll be in and out between naps and yarn.

[luvtocrochet757]

I'm so happy for you getting organized!! I need to do this too....badly!! What are these cubes you're getting at Costco? Are they the wire cubes or something different? I've been looking at the wire cubes at Target but I think BD's actually gonna help me out by building some shelving

They're vinyl. The vinyl is slightly thick and looks like frosted glass. They're wonderful.

[judianne]

Nicole, the kitties are so cute:c9 I would love one...or two...but not with my GSDs. There wouldn't be a moment of peace in this house!

[nicolep]

Thanks Judy! They are truly my babies. It was hard to take cre of all four of them when I had the foster kids. I don't do foster care anymore though and it's great having them around.

A house without furbabies is a poor house, IMO.

We love our dogs...and they are completely spoiled...but being German Shepherds they still scare people because of their looks!

 

Have a good night!

[busy-bee-lmt]

Judy, the CAL I was talking about is in this section, instead of the charity section. It was on page two here the last time I looked. It gets active right before and during the weekend we do it and then fades away until the next month.

 

John is home! Tired and achy, but the week was a great success. I get to sleep late tomorrow! Hooray!!!!!!

My little GN is dying to get a pet. I want a miniature schnauzer. Can some steer me in the right direction?

Here's the link to the May Charity CAL. I'm on that one, too!

Awww! They're beautiful! But poor little Pipsy It's so hard when they're sick. Tuon is diabetic. Has been since she was tiny. It was hard at first but now it's just part of the routine

Amen sista!

Good Morning, Ladies. It's a beautiful rainy, cool morning and Gracie likes rain. I am so far behind here and hope to catch up today. I haven't touched my hook in almost 2 weeks and can't wait to get back to the Penguin.

 

Have a wonderful day.

We have a miniature schnauzer. When John gets back from picking up his dad this afternoon, I'll ask him where he got it.

 

It's a cloudy, drippy day here so far. I slept the clock around last night. I think I'm going to have a quiet day today, maybe take in a movie this afternoon.

[ChezMichelle]

Why did you have to share that wonderful website! I don't have enough hours in the day as it is, and now I want to make one!

 

Seriously though, what a talented designer!

[judianne]

Valerie...definitely get a dog from either a breeder or a shelter/rescue group - do not use a pet store. Those dogs help support puppy mills.

Good luck with the search!

Thanks Linda. A guy came in my store one day and he had 2. He was suppose to ask his wife where she got them from but he never called or came back.

Babies (even the furry types) can take up a lot of time can't they? It's raining here too but I'm not happy about it Wish it would've held off until tomorrow

Sounds lovely! Definitely have an easy day. You definitely deserve it

Awww shucks Thank you Now which one will you make first

Absolutely!! This is a MUST, imho. Pet shops are always puppy mills in my experience (and I worked at a pet shop for years!). They're, well I hate to use this phrase, low quality dogs. That's sounds awful I know. But the puppy mills just produce very unhealthy animals the majority of the time. I've seen way too many broken hearts over animals that have died shortly after purchase or were very sick with costly vet bills A reputable breeder is the way to go. Do you have a local show dog society? They usually have a list of reputable breeders

 

Well, got up at 11:14 this morning. One minute before the alarm was set to go off

 

But it's raining cats and dogs today I really was looking forward to going out today. Haven't been out of this house since Sunday But I can't go out in the rain. Too much slip and fall risk. Plus, I move so slowly I get drenched even with an umbrella

 

Oh well, I guess I'll just be forced to work on my nine patch today

[judianne]

Cara, our Susie is a pet store dog....with lots of high medical bills

[busy-bee-lmt]

For those of you who do, please say a prayer for my good friend Rosie. She was at a yard sale today and fell, breaking her nose and bones in her face on both sides of it, breaking her right wrist, and breaking her left tibia right below the knee. They are presently doing xrays to see is her knee is okay or not. AND they talking of sending her home tonight!!! Thanks.

I think so. I'll do that and also Linda T. is going to check to see where they got their miniature from.
