Oh, your day with your family sounds as though it is going to be nice, Cara. Hope you are able to get some pictures and quality catch-up time with everyone. Temps are tolerable down your way? Have a good one!

 

Val ~ Did you get your 'home' work finished, yet? I hope you are able to find some time in which to pick up your hook and yarn

[nicolep]

Nicole, love the wheel cover.

 

Thanks!

 

Now that's actually very clever and smart looking too!

 

Thanks, I can't claim the idea as my own. Someone on a yahoo group of mine made a felted wheel cover. That gave me the idea to use the scarf.

 

Love the idea That is just so cute. Not knowing the technique, I am probably going to ask a silly question, but can you use the same process to make your seat cover(s)? You will have to let us know how that project progresses

 

Rain has been predicted for the past two days, but we have not seen a drop of it, thus far. The girls have been re- re- re-creating the track-and-field events in which they participated in their school's spirit olympics last week, so I have been operating stop watches, measuring long jump attempts and softball throw distances, etc. It's so much fun to be a Not much crocheting is getting done, but the kiddos are happy

 

The seat covers will be the same process. I'll just have to make longer strips of squares. I'll be sure to update you as I go along on that project.

 

Sounds like you and the kids are having fun! We were supposed to get rain every day the past week. We only got any on Tuesday. We had really bad storms....hail and everything that I was stuck in on the interstate! Not good....we do need a little rain. I'd rather not have the bad storms though.

 

Good morning everybody,

 

Just dropped in to say hello. I brought some work home so I'll be off for a while. I hope everyone has a great day.

 

Linda, I'm glad you made it safely and I hope you have the best time of your life.

 

 

We have a family get together ourselves today We're going out to my sisters house for lunch a little target practice and hopefully I can get some nice photos of my sister and her family But just to generally hang out which we haven't gotten to do in a long time with my sister's school and BILs job.

 

Have a great day everyone

 

Have fun! What kind of target practice?

 

 

 

I spent several hours outside cutting down weeds and trees from the back yard. It looks so much better, but I have no idea what to do with all of the branches. You should see the pile!

 

I bought the house just after Thanksgiving in 2008. Apparently, the people who lived here before didn't really keep up with the yard work. It's been a handful, but I've almost got it all cut down.

 

Talk to you all soon!

 

Oh, Mary - Add 19 solids for me, please! Thanks.

Very pretty! What size does that end up being?

[gorrilla]

i just started the penguin one today

Thanks!

It's 19 inches square (preemie size). I used a G hook (I think) with the 4 ply, so if you go with a bigger hook it'll change -- though you lose the tight, quilt-look then.

this is such an easy pattern

Hi, everyone! It's been a wonderful day so far. This is the first I've had a chance to jump on Joy's computer. We pick up Ayden in about an hour and a half. I can hardly wait.

 

I made one of the ladies at Joy's church very happy. She had asked Joy about the possibility of her doing some repair work on a tablecloth her grandmother had made. Joy suggested me and it looks like it will be an easy fix that I can probably do while I'm here. Unless, of course, there are a lot more places that need mending than is apparent so far.

 

We just got back from seeing the new Star Trek movie. It was great! Lots of great belly laugh lines in it.

 

Nicole, I love your scarf as a steeringwheel cover. Very nice. :clap

 

Judy, that nine patch is ever so sweet.

 

Gorilla, welcome to the group! :welcome:hi

[judianne]

Linda, that's great about being able to mend that piece...it makes you feel so good, doesn't it?

Thansk! The colors on the 9 patch are different...but kid-like....

 

Have a great time with your GS!

[gorrilla]

i am on my 1oth squre

[judianne]

i am on my 1oth squre

Make sure you don't wait till the end before starting to join them! That's how I gave up on a project years back:P

And Sveral of us leave a long tail at the end of each square (approx halfway around the square) for joining. Others just finish off the squares and join without doing that.

[Misa]

Have fun! What kind of target practice?

Hi, again. My grandson's greeting was all a grandma could hope for. When he spotted me his whole face lit up. He was out the door just about as soon as the car stopped and I got a HUGE hug and "GRANDMA LINDA!!!" from him. We went to a potluck and he insisted that I ride in back with him on the way home and chattered to me and his mom all the way home. And nothing would do but for Grandma Linda to play toss the dirty clothes in the clothes hamper with him as he was getting ready for bed. He found his gifts and it was, "Did you get these for me?!?! Look Mommy! Look what Grandma Linda got me!!!" I am going to enjoy this week with them for sure.

 

Gorilla, may we know your first name? That's what we mostly use in here. Congratulations on being on your 10th square already. You're doing well.

[luvtocrochet757]

I am happy for you Linda. Have the best time of your life!!!

[crocrazy]

Linda that is so cute. It brought tears to my eyes.

[tracysthings]

Awww, Linda, that is sweet.

 

Gorilla.

 

Mary, 9 solids for me, please. I made a potholder like Tammy showed the other day.
