Some good clean fun?! [Archive 1]

[irishrose]

Wow, 4,100 already. We certainly like to gab, don't we?

[miss scarlet]

I was working on kids sweaters

[miss scarlet]

Yes we do Shannon, we do like to gab

[irishrose]

Got any pics of those sweaters, Mary? I'd love to see them. That seems like it would be hard to make.

Vacation is going nice so far- had a great time in Boston with DD- the weather there was absolutely perfect as was the company :-)

 

I had a nice visit in NH with my cousin- and I drove home today. I now have the place to myself. I'm going to visit DD in Philly on Friday- I'm going to clean er....crochet tomorrow and then see what youngest DD is doing on Saturday or Sunday.

 

A Holly Lobby opened in Easton PA (about an hour drive) and I'm toying with the idea of driving there on Saturday to check it out (especially since DH isn't here and he can't moan about it...but I really need to get through some of the yarn I have here first)

[irishrose]

I bought some yarn today. I probably shouldn't have. It's kinda like the grass is always greener. You always want the colors you don't have. At least that's how it is with me. I'm sure Mary doesn't have that problem. She has every color under the sun, I'm sure.

[miss scarlet]

As soon as I can I will get pics up. I do the sweaters in stages. I make the peices for so many sweaters and then I start putting them together

[imanurse55]

I think I will enjoy the place to myself- no having to cook if I don't want to...sometimes alone time is vacation in itself....I really needed some time off after the crazy hours I was working the last few weeks.

[miss scarlet]

Yes Joanne you sure do need a break. You have worked alot

[imanurse55]

I understand what you are saying Shannon- I do that too....And then I can't remember what colors I have!

 

Yarn is so addictive...but I think if I can get all my gifts made (some of them being afghans) I'll make a good dent in the stash-

[miss scarlet]

Almost Shannon. LOLOLOL

[miss scarlet]

Joanne do you have a stash like mine???????

[imanurse55]

Mary- how did you get the crochet toppers on the towel? Do you have a special tool to put the holes in the towel? i think I should make one for my cousin as a thank you- she loves them. I remember a couple of years ago when I was visiting her, we went to a craft show and she bought a couple of them and I did see some in her kitchen.

[irishrose]

Yeah, I'd like to make some too. They're so nice.

 

BRB, I think Pep has to go out.

[miss scarlet]

I cut the towel in half

I use a 3.50 hook I don't know what letter that is

I just crochet right into the towel

[imanurse55]

Mary- I don't think anyone has a stash like you:lol

 

But I realized when I was picking out what yarn to bring with me to Boston that I have about 40 skeins of yarn- for me that is alot! I need to use some of it, but then I see pretty yarn and I buy more- like the Cascade yarn I bought in Boston (at least this will definitely be used since DD picked it out and I will be making her a hat/scarf (and if enough yarn) fingerless gloves with the mitten flap (have you ever made them Mary)

[imanurse55]

Ok, I'm going upstairs to the kitchen to take a look at that towel (which is proudly hung in my kitchen on the oven door)

BRB

[miss scarlet]

I never made mitts before, but I think after the next craft sale in Nov. Iam going to give them a try, I have always wanted to

[irishrose]

Okay, I'm back. She was just thirsty. I think I'll have to sleep on the couch tonight. She can't do anything.

[miss scarlet]

Ahhhhhhhhh poor pepper

[irishrose]

Joanne, your kitchen is upstairs?

[imanurse55]

I'm back too- but not for much longer- I think the long drive home has done this chickie in...and it is after all after 11 my time!

[miss scarlet]

So is mine

Iam in the basement which is a walk out. We have a livingroom down here and a little livingroom upstairs with 3 bedrooms up there and then we have another bedroom down here

[miss scarlet]

after 11pm here too

[irishrose]

I should probably go too. I have a feeling it's going to be a long night here.
