Isn't that great news!!!!!!!!!!??????????????

[judianne]

Off I go to get dressed...seeing the meetup ladies:D

[dobermama]

Morning all. Shasta jumped up in the bed and got in my face to get up way to early this morning! It's cloudy and overcast outside trying to rain. Will be getting ready to go to the Mama's in a little while so sis can get her hair cut and do some errands.

 

Tam, I am so happy to hear that Ken is cancer free. Makes me feel good to hear that news! Prayers do work and continued prayers will be said.

 

Everyone going to the meet-up, can't wait to hear how it goes. I live vicariously thru your stories

 

Everyone, have a great day in or out of the house! :hug

[Gardener]

Good morning everyone. Its supposed to be really hot here today, so it will be a good day to entertain myself inside. (I have plenty to do!)

 

Hope the meet up people have a wonderful time together.

Good Morning, Ladies.

 

Tam ~ Oh, what wonderful news! Are you all going to celebrate?

 

Judy, Marisa and Joanne ~ Can't wait to hear about your meet-up! Will anyone else be there?

 

Toni and Judy ~ Thanks for the help with the cotton yarn. I think a trip to Hobby Lobby is necessary today.

 

And Toni ~ I'd love to see the Happy Mountain Clog dance.

 

Hi Cindy!

 

Linda ~ We miss you lots.

Hi, everyone. Sorry to be MIA lately. I've been having trouble with my blood pressure. It's been very high which causes severe headaches which make it hard to think and concentrate. I'll try to get caught up later, but wanted to let you know that I'm still here. One good thing is that I've been finishing up a lot WIPs, mostly hiding lots and lots and lots of tails, but finishing the crocheting on several and assembly of several more. Among other things that means that I finished all five of the Christmas stockings for Kim's cousin. Also finished is a preemie hat, three preemie afghans, five hats and twelve scarves. Still in the works are a preemie hat, a scarf, a preemie afghan, and a prayer shawl.

 

John's at the hunting lodge this weekend helping get ready for deer hunting season so Kim and I are relaxing together.

 

I'll be back later. Just wanted to say hi. Hugs to anyone and everyone in need of them. :hug

[Gardener]

Linda, I'm so glad you posted, I was getting really worried. Hope the blood pressure issues are resolved soon. Sounds like you have been very productive!

Here's a picture of the Christmas stockings.

Linda- You made my day seeing your post!!!!! Sorry to hear about the BP- but relaxing is probably the best thing for it!!! Love the picture of the stockings- they look great!!!!!

 

Had a great meet up- Judy, Marisa and Phyllis (Judy's friend- and she just recently joined the Ville)

 

It was sad that it will be the last time meeting up with Marisa!! before she moves to Pitt, but I'm so glad that she was able to come today!!!

 

She brought some yummy banana bread that she made!!!! and of course, we crocheted and chatted and drank coffee!!!

 

Off to do a few errands-

Linda ~ I'm so happy to see your posts! So very sorry about the BP problems. Congratulations on so many finishes. The stockings are gorgeous...they will be cherished.

 

Joanne ~ Sounds like a great time this a.m.

 

Cindy ~ Are you staying cool and crocheting?

 

I've been to HL and the store...just getting in and out of the car is hard in this heat. HL has a huge selection of ILTCotton and Sugar and Cream, so I had fun looking at all the colors. I picked out one variegated and one solid to play with.

[imanurse55]

Have fun playing with your yarn, Mary!!!

 

It's a beautiful day here- sunny and lo humidity--perfect- I've been outside on the deck and started a simple shrug from the Lion Brand site with Homespun.

 

I finished the Bubbles Baby Blanket (pattern from Deneen St Amour) - I'll be giving it to one of my co-workers- who is having a boy. I used Stylecraft Special DK yarn - 2 strands together- L hook-

 

Oh, I got a beautiful square for my friendship ghan from Judy's friend Phyllis (who recently joined the Ville under the name foofoophyl!!!) I now have as many squares as I need!!!

Knock! Knock! Can I come in the house? A few of you know me and some of you have heard my name mentioned lately. It's time to introduce myself to the rest of you. I'm Phyllis from Central Jersey, and I've been crocheting forever. My computer skills are not as good as my crochet skills, so please be patient with me while I'm learning. C'ville is a bit overwhelming so far, but I'm looking forward to meeting those of you I dont know already.

 

Joanne, am I doing this right so far?

[Gardener]

Hi Phyllis, welcome. We may have heard your name mentioned once or twice already...(ahem...)

 

I'm Cindy, mom to 3 adult children and a son in law, grandma to 4 boys, a registered nurse and a craft-aholic.

Watched the races and got 3 of the 7 blocks done on the panel for the flannelghan. Want to get it finished. Want to start a SBT, but won't until I at least get the panel done. Did finish the lining in the to big diaper bag while at the mama's. Will throw it in wash tomorrow and then take photo.

 

Mary, it's been a while since I clogged but bet I could do a fair interpretation of it I used to love clogging.

 

Glad you had such a good time at HL. I love to do SBT's with cotton and an I hook. They are great!

 

Cindy, hope you found a lot to keep you busy today!

 

Linda!!!! So good to see you. Those stockings are wonderful, love them.

 

Joanne, Marisa, Judy your meet up sounds wonderful. Wish someone lived closer to me.

 

Joanne, great ghan and beautiful, absolutely beautiful square! Phyl did a great job!

 

Phyllis, yes, your name has been bantered about a bit to the House! We're glad you're here.

 

I'm Toni mother to two grown daughters, grandmother to one wonderful grandson and about to be great grandmother to baby Seth. Will find out due date next Thursday. I live in the mountains of Alabama with my three :dog and 1 porch and sometimes my youngest dd .

Hi Phyllis-- You are absolutely doing this right!!!! By the time we have our next meet up you'll be a pro at this and I won't have to bring my laptop!!!!!!

 

So glad you found Our House!!!!

I think you're going to have a great time using the ILTcotton! It was the ILTC you bought?

I like that blanket...and the pictures of both blanket and square don't do justice to how great they look - and feel - in person!

[judianne]

Phyllis!!!! You've joined the party!

Don't worry if you don't feel like posting as often as some of us do...whatever you're comfortable with is fine.

 

This evening I've been making some 9 by 6 rectangles for another charity - mindless, but it goes to a good cause, as well as uses some of my stash.

 

Cindy and everyone, our meetup was really fun, but bittersweet knowing that we might only get to see Marisa on rare occasions in the future.

tg, though, for being able to stay in touch through CV!

[judianne]

'nite, ladies - I'm really tired. Woke up a lot during the night so I'm dragging right now.

Have a good night, my friends.:manyheart

Sweet dreams!!!

 

Oh, I turned the Yankees on in the 5th inning when I read that CC was pitching- at least when he pitches the chances of the Yanks winning are pretty good- and they did win!!!
