Woops!

I'll be back in a bit... I just looked at the time, and am supposed to pick up Jamie at a friend's at 9:30:eek

Thankfully, it's just at the end of the street-ish:devil

[miss scarlet]

Iam here

[Colleenka]

I've been thinking more about doing the Name Filet thing, Mary. I'm really excited to try it. It will take some figuring and math isn't my strongpoint, but I think it would look nice.

 

What are you working on these days...sweaters?

[miss scarlet]

Work was fast. Didn't need too much done and Iam getting faster at it.

Hi Beth, Colleen, Mary, LeaAnne-

I see you are all here, but I can't stay and chat- it's been a long (although exciting) day!

 

I think Dh is feeling a little left out- ever since I came home I was so excited about my sock monkey potholders! And then he asked if I was going to work on another square. I think he is feeling a little ignored.

 

I'll be back in the AM (provided I don't turn off the alarm again!)

 

And, do i get something for being the oldest? LOL

 

Sweet dreams everyone!

[miss scarlet]

The name filet.......... you had me thinking too and I think Iam going to give it a try . If you get graph paper and plan it out that way, that's what Iam going to do.

[miss scarlet]

Yes Iam working on sweaters. I love to watch how they turn out with the varigated yarn, they are always different.

[Colleenka]

Enjoy your time with DH, Joanne. And for being the oldest you get...potholders! Just kidding.

 

My DH is watching TV and remarking at the things he's seeing on there. I won't go into details except to say that sometimes I think I married a 12 year old

[miss scarlet]

How is your purple afghan coming????

[Colleenka]

Yes, I'll have to do that with the gragh paper. Luckily our last name only has 5 letters. It would be really nice for a first name too.

[miss scarlet]

Yup I know all about that........... sometimes I think I have 4 kids

[Colleenka]

How is your purple afghan coming????

 

I've got 6 out of 16 squares done. It's coming along. I have never finished an adult-sized 'ghan, so it is going to be challenging for me not to get distracted by another project.

[miss scarlet]

you could do your DD's name and hang it in her room

[miss scarlet]

I can't wait to see it. It is going to be really pretty

[Colleenka]

That would be nice. It would be nice too to do her a square with a filet J in it and make a pretty pillow for her bed.

[miss scarlet]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes that sounds nice too

yoou have such wonderful ideas

[Colleenka]

I think about crocheting more than I crochet

[miss scarlet]

LOLOLOL

 

I need to think of something for my MIL.......... her b-day is next month and I don't know what to get her

[miss scarlet]

I have crochet on the brain lol

[Colleenka]

What does your MIL like? Do you plan to crochet her something?

[miss scarlet]

I have nooooooooooo idea. I will probaly buy something

[miss scarlet]

My mom is easier cause I just ask her or she just tells me first.

[Colleenka]

I have a really hard time buying gifts for my MIL. She doesn't like anything with a scent. Scratch out MIL go-tos like candles, soaps, lotions, flowers...seriously! Does she have any hobbies? Is she planning any trips. I love to give people bags and then fill them with things. For example, if she travels I'd give her a cosmetic bag with lotion and stuff in it. Or if she's crafty, a tote bag with a magazine and supplies.

[miss scarlet]

She is old European. She crochets and knits but her own patterns. Mostly slippers for me and DD to sell at shows. I will have to ask Dh but I know what he will say " I don't know"

[miss scarlet]

I might find something for her out west.
