Our House Part Two

[JulieKay]

Hi Jude

Do you believe I have never tasted corned beef and cabbage ?

 

Linda

sounds like you have lots to do today !

 

Cindy

Have fun planning the shower. I love doing things like that ...the cake ...decorations...cake....games.....cake....prizes......cake......presents....cake....colors.....cake...guest list ...and don't forget the CAKE .

 

 

Poor Marisa

Sounds like you feel lousy ! Take the day off and sleep ..You are probably worn out since you are always on the go ...of course you are almost half my age,so you have lots more steam than I do .

[Skysmom]

Good Morning, Ladies.

 

Tam ~ Lots of hugs and prayers coming your way. I'm so sorry you're going through so much now - please take care of you, too!

 

Marisa ~ Get lots of rest and feel better soon.

 

Hi to all my House friends!

 

Luke is much better - the Dr. said it was probably a virus that he is seeing lots of right now. His fever is gone and his appetite is great!

 

I am staying home all day. It seems like forever since I crocheted! The desk and cleaning is calling, but I think my hook is going to win out.

Julie, I know you will find this hard to believe, but the bride to be doesn't like cake! She does like sweets, though, so we will probably do some small desserts like individual cheesecakes, tiny brownies and fancy cookies. we may get a small cake too, for those people who believe that a party is just an excuse to eat cake!

[Gardener]

Marisa, hope you feel better soon. Hope Mary's mom gets better soon as well.

 

Mary, glad Luke is doing better. Enjoy your quiet day.

 

I decided to just keep going with the doilyghan. I can see the mistake, but I don't think its that noticeable. Two rounds to go and it will be finished.

[Gardener]

Here are those baby shoes I've been babbling about:

[JulieKay]

Wow, Cindy

I DO find it hard to believe that there are people on our planet who don't like cake .

Sam and Steph neither one like cake either. They have gotten a small bite of it if they Tag Team me and take me down and pry it out of my hands .

 

No, honestly, neither of them would ever eat cake if they have a choice .

 

I myself think it needs to be in its own separate food group .

[JulieKay]

What cute baby shoes ! Very sweet !

[busy-bee-lmt]

Good morning housemates Yep, still morning

 

Mary woke me up at 5:30 this morning to let me know she was taking her mom to the hospital, she wasn't breathing right and with all her health issues, they can't wait anything out so she took her immediately. She has some fluid in her chest and is being admitted to the hospital. So some prayers for Mary's mom please

 

Then I woke up just after 9 and my temp made it to about 103 so I called the doc and went right over. Luckily they had some cancellations this morning so I didn't even have to wait when I got there I have a sinus infection and he gave me an antibiotic which I just got home from filling, had some toast and took the first dose. Decided to drop in to update you before I crawled back into bed. If I wake up feeling better after the meds get a chance to kick in, I'll truck into work later on I feel bad knowing that Mary's not there either We'll see how I feel and go from there

 

I hope you all have a great day, but right now my bed is hollering for me

:hug Sounds like you need to spend a couple of days at home taking care of you, Marisa. You don't need to be giving this to your patients. Prayers for both you and Mary's mom coming your way. :hug

Here are those baby shoes I've been babbling about:

Those are adorable.

[Gardener]

Thanks Julie and Linda.

 

Another finish for today, doily style baby blanket. It's my own design, and is about 40 inches in diameter, which is a bit bigger than I intended it to be. Yarn is Caron Pounder in lilac. It will also go to the local pregnancy resource center.

 

(I'm not exactly getting a lot of cleaning done here...but there's still time.....I think......)

You did great adapting the pattern - looks perfect!

[LovinThis32]

*^^* Ummm don't ask me what that is--just playing around Wanted to finally say hello today! Morning has been a bit hectic, now to slow down! Thank heavens!

 

I've read some posts-----TAM----so sorry to hear about all of the health issues going on around you----TAKE CARE OF YOU, as most have said otherwise you're not going to be any help to anyone else either. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Marissa----you and Mary's Mom are in my thoughts and prayers as well.

 

Hello to everyone else today! It's sun shiny but VERY chilly here, still brings a bit of Spring freshness in the air and to the mood! Of course, i'm in shorts, sandals and a sweater---lol.

 

So---Aree and I went out in the pouring rain last night to look for some "WOOL" to felt into bags!! lol----Much to my dismay..........what-in-THE.......do I look for? It was like pulling teeth w/o any lidocane! hobby lobby, had a bunch of "blends" I didn't think a "BLEND" would felt---or will it? and....I need EYE GRABBING colors, not tan! I ended up getting some Patons, it's cool. I made a little MP3 player holder, washed it up this morning, think I want to wash it again and felt it a tad bit more. Kinda like it. Figured I had better get a feel of how it works so as to not make something kid size and it shrinks up to infant!

 

Hope all is well! I DID get awesome news-----MY HONEY will be back May 2 for a couple of days visit!!! Hate that it's only a couple days---but I must be worth it! :0)

[JulieKay]

Hi Kiyo

 

Wish I could help you with the felting questions but I have never done it,so have no idea what to buy that will work best .

Great news that you will get to see your boyfriend again so soon !

 

Sounds like your weather out there is pretty good if you have shorts on. It is actually up in the 50's here today I think. So nice, I opened our back patio doors for a bit --the sun is on that side of the house now, so it feels good !

[JulieKay]

Cindy

Forgot to say I like the doily blankie ! Very cute ,and good for you for designing it yourself ! That's great !
