Well, it has been a really sad day around here. I don't know if any of you heard about the stage collapse at the Indiana Star Fair last night. Five people died and about 45 others were injured. I don't know any of the people who died, but a co-worker was hurt. She's stable, but still in the hospital. So, I've been a little down today. I feel so bad for those people's families.

 

On good news, I finished the SBT I've been working on. I like how this one turned out.

 

I'll chat with you all later.

 

Sad day. The video was unreal that I saw online.

 

Nice tote!!!

 

The Kestrel is lucky to weigh a pound. She's just evil, but I love the little stinker!

 

kestrel's are more than welcome around here!! They keep the tweety birds away from the berries! We have a couple of kestrel houses to encourage them to stick around

[FrLopLady]

Finished this larger baby blanket today that had been put on hold for the other afghans to get done. One of my favorites!

Ann - Love that tote!!

 

Mary - what a beautiful afghan! The colors are so beautiful!

 

Sue - Forget the leather body suit, you need body armour made of steel!! :rofl Congrats on the patterns. If the pattern editor needs confirmation of the SBT and how easy and beautiful it is, just tell 'em to look on this thread!

 

Sorry to hear of the deaths and injuries at the fair, prayers said for them.

 

Haven't been able to get online today, either DD or DH was on the computer. But I did start on the granny ripple tote--testing it out to see how I like it.

 

Not looking forward to this week at work, we have 2 weeks to get ready for this inspection. Plus it's time to start on the newsletter for next month (which reminds me, I didn't send out reminders for people to send in articles :eek). Where has this month gone??????

 

Well, I'd better check on a couple of other things while I wait on DD to send me a text she made it home ok.

 

Have a great evening and rest well my friends! See you tomorrow!!!

Oops overslept this morning! Just popped in to check in with everyone. Congrats to Tonya & Patrick. :hugs to those in need or just want one. My youngest dd has practice for cheerleadering on Saturday. Monday is the tryout. She hasn't cheered in a year, because last year at cheer camp she dislocated her shoulder. She ended having to have surgery to repair the tissue that tore. (she is a base, and the flyer came down too soon and her foot hit just the right spot -- and this flyer was the lightest one my dd ever ). A few prayers or crossed fingers that she does well would be appreciated. Thanks

 

So how'd she do? I did send up a few positive thoughts & prayers, just haven't taken the time to reply to all the chit chat on here!!

 

And here's my hobo hearts tote I did it in cotton to use as a market bag

 

BEAUTIFUL!!!

 

Good Morning ……….

 

Thanks everyone for all the congrats to Patrick! He worked 5 hours yesterday doing lawn care. He will work a few hours today helping clean up the mess the storm made last night. Then Sunday he will work bussing tables! He’s really excited about this job! I’m super proud of him!

This job is really flexible.. and his boss is super sweet!

So quick funny story about the cake Ken brought home for Patrick.

When he sat it on the counter … I looked at it and this is what I saw……

[ATTACH]43744[/ATTACH]

So………..you’ll see …. .the precious elderly lady that wrote on it… seems to forgotten how to spell. So… before Patrick saw the cake…. I fixed it.

[ATTACH]43743[/ATTACH]

Whats really funny… is Ken picked up the cake.. .never noticed and brought it home. LOL… but you know… the love of the act… was more than the misspelled word!

 

Sorry for not catching up better.

I will try later. Its County Fair time here and I forgot I promised the boys I’d take them to ‘kids night’ yesterday. And tonight its shows and exhibits. I had thought of putting something of mine in at the fair… maybe next year.

Anyway… need more coffee………..

 

 

too funny!! But you know, she might have thought she spelled it right! Lots of people spell it that way... kind of like potato (I've seen it spelled potatoe which just cracks me up!!)

 

Just got back from my daughter's ROTC FLOW graduation. I thought I might share some pictures in case anyone was interested. I am so proud of my girl!!!

 

[ATTACH]43751[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]43752[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]43753[/ATTACH]

 

Way to go!! My step daughter was in ROTC where she lives, and she really enjoyed it (from what I have heard). Congratulations!!

 

Here I am world. Not in the best of moods. A little down in the dumps, scared, worried, hopeful, teary eyed. There has been a reason that I've been funktified (thanks for validating my word).

This story is the story of my oldest son's girlfriend - THE ONE.

My son's gf is fighting cervical cancer for the 2nd time. Today, a few of us are meeting to organize a fund raiser to help alleviate some of the costs. They live in FL but her drs are at MD Anderson in TX. She goes for a biopsy this week and depending on the outcome, it will determine which way the the treatment will go. If the biopsy shows the cancer has not spread to the kidney, then a surgery will be scheduled to remove all organs in the pelvic area - not just the femal parts but also the bladder and her rectum. She will end up with two bags instead of these organs. If the cancer has spread, all they can do is chemo. Please pray for her, her two little kids, her family and my son. I am so proud of him. Not once has he said "this is too much, I can't do it." Instead he has said " I love you and will stand beside you."

Thanks all for being such good friends for letting me run away and hide, then pop back in to cry on your shoulders. I don't know what I would do with out my yarnie buddies.

 

Prayers going up!! Hang in there... We'll be here for you however and whenever you need us...

 

So, here is what I have been up to lately. Three completed SBTs this week and a cool little burp cloth for the new baby.

Love these!! Great job!

 

haven't checked the thread in a few days. let's just say if I were a horse, I'd have them put me outta my misery. I can't seem to breath through all this yuck.

 

Just caught a glance at the posts above. Jana, prayers and more prayers and :hugs to your family and this girl.

 

:hugs to all the rest of you as well. Hoping I can kick this and feel human again soon. Miss you all.

 

sending positive healing thoughts, energy and prayers your way!!!

 

I was so excited to be going to meet up with my fellow 'hookers' and went to start my car and nothing- click, click, kaput! Of course, DH wasn't home. I figured it was the battery. He said he'd come home and check it out. Well, about an hour later, he comes home- and he put a battery charger on the battery- He was able to start the car and we took it to the mechanic . They ran some diagnostics and sure enough- battery had died. Thankfully, that was all and alternator etc seem fine! So I missed the meet up which kind of bummed me out since I was looking forward to all week --and it was a rough week at work! But in the big scheme of things, I guess it could have been worse- I could have been out and about when the car died- at least it was home in my garage.

 

Steph- Feel better soon!!!

 

Christie- Love the SBT's and the burp cloth!!! Good luck to DD tomorrow!!!

 

At least it was "just" the battery... and yes, it's also a good thing it was while you were home!! It's also a good thing it wasn't on a work day...

 

I got the afghans done!!!

Oh! I almost forgot! I finished the Gathered Tortoise Shells Bag early 2:30is this morning! The color is a little off in the pic. It is soft sage, kind of a mint green, very pretty! It's not the best picture. It took me forever today to get one that wasn't out of focus! Anyway, here it is!

 

I love that! I'll have to get that pattern... great job!!

 

Hi, everyone! I've read all of posts to catch up with you all. Let's see what I can remember without quoting or writing anything down!

 

Ann - The tote is great!

 

Tam - I didn't realize you had a new tote pattern for "sale". Now I have another tote pattern to buy and try.

 

Sue - Thank goodness you weren't hurt too badly by the Kestrel.

 

kuddles - I'm glad you had a good time at the zoo.

 

Joanne - Howdy!

 

Sorry if I missed anyone.

I'll chat with you all later.

 

Yes, I did hear about that - kind of freaked me out, because I was just telling my hubby the other day that the Indiana state fair was going on, and wouldn't it be nice to get down there to see it? We won't be able to fit that in to our schedule... but the idea that I was JUST thinking about how neat it would be to go, and then hearing that tragic news...

 

I can't wait till Ryan starts talking! He is just so cute now- but you know how it is- newborns are kind of boring,despite how sweet and cute they are! Sounds like you had a nice conversation with Jillybean (what a cute nickname)

 

Yeah, we spend the first 2 years waiting for them to walk and talk, then the next 16 years trying to get them to sit down and be quiet!!!

Morning Everyone! How is everyone this fine morning? I slept in today. Yup, got up at 3:15am! Haven't picked up my hooks yet. I can't decide what I want to start next. I'm sure something will come to me soon! My yarn just needs to wake up and start talking to me! Have a great day all!

.:: Good Morning Kids ::.

so sorry for being so absent again. Hope all is well with everyone! I have a busy day of crocheting ahead of me! I have a few envelopes I need to mail out too! Right now I'm working on a baby blanket to use for the fundraiser for hubby! I'm testing Carlinda's corner to corner entrelac. In the midst of doing this ... I have gotten several ideas for more blankets! Love the pattern!

I've been super busy trying to get stuff made for the craft fair. Speaking of........... I want to ask you ladies a question... I wish I had thought of this before I asked for help. If whatever you all are sending to donate for hubby's fundraiser doesnt auction off... would you be upset if I put it on my table at the craft fair? The fair is the weekend after the auction. I'm nervous and excited about both.... I know by no means am I going to make tons of money... but I sure hope its enough to bring a smile to hubby's face!

okay... I need more coffee.

love you guys! Thank you for everything you have done for me and my family!

 

[TurtleLvr]

Would love to see a pic of the the birds! Sounds like you have a nice day off planned! Hope your back is feeling better today!

 

I'll get some Sunday then. Back is feeling good, wallet not so much. Bought 15 skeins of yarn and some other stuff.

[krafty19]

Tammy, you can use my stuff for whatever you need to. I hope to get something mailed this week for you. Just finished another SBT that will be coming to you (hopefully this time the package won't take the scenic tour

 

Sue, have a great week!

 

Can't be on for very long today, so ya'll have a great day!!! Will check in later tonight.

[dobermama]

Hi all! Sorry to be MIA, again. Chemo knocked me off my feet. But, have finally figured out this new computer and think things have calmed down a bit for me. Trying to catch up here and a couple of other threads.

 

Weather here is cooler and I can feel FALL just around the corner!! YIPPEE!!! My favorite time of the year.

 

Joanne, Muscadines (Muscadinia rotundifolia) are a grapevine species native to the present-day southeastern United States that has been extensively cultivated since the 16th Century. They have a different flavor and texture than regular grapes and I LOVE them! They make great wine and jelly as well as eaten fresh from the vine.

 

Tam, I am sooooo happy he got the job! WOOT! As for the items I am getting ready to send to you, however you can use them to create funds is fine with me!

 

Tonya, TWO interviews WOOT! WOOT!!

 

 

Last night ds and his fiancee moved back home. Now I have all five of my kids plus my granddaughter, "almost" my grandson, and my son's pregnant girlfriend living here. FULL HOUSE! Oh well, it is awesome having them all so close to me. I love them so much!!!

 

That IS a full house! Oh, My!

 

Anyway, we are home from dd's dr appointment and WE HAVE AN INDUCTION SCHEDULED!!! :yay

 

YEEHAW!!!! That's great

 

 

In other news, my fifteen-year-old has spent all week in her ROTC orientation (she is starting high school this year and doing ROTC and Power Lifting... more energy than I will ever have) and tomorrow is her "graduation" from this orientation week. She will wear her dress uniform for the first time. I have to figure out how to clone myself to be in two places at once.

 

You must be so proud! I loved the photos of her. TYFS

 

 

 

And here's my hobo hearts tote I did it in cotton to use as a market bag

 

GORGEOUS! I love that and the heart strings pattern. Heck, I all Sue's patterns

 

 

Jana, I understand your being in the dumps, scared, and all the rest. I am very proud, as you are, of your son for being there for his GF. It is what she needs so much right now. Prayers for her and everyone concerned that they will be able to do surgery. :hug:hug

 

 

So, here is what I have been up to lately. Three completed SBTs this week and a cool little burp cloth for the new baby.

 

Love them! I have some things to share, but have to wait until I send them out and they are received

Hi all,

Finished the SBT in pink camo- and now I'm back to the RR--it was nice getting the tote fix!!!

 

YAY! WOOT!

 

good afternoon everyone

I have been having a blast with kendra she thinks she may have found a house.

it is a fixer upper, but nothing she cant do with a little help. so,my dh is going now with her to look at it and say if it is worth it.

 

Sure hope it's "the one" I know how much you're looking forward to her moving close to you.

 

she also just told me they will be in town in 2 weeks...which means I GET THE PUPPIES again :D:D I can not wait. i miss them.

 

ah, yes, the :dog :dog :dog another reason for her to move closer

 

Oh! I almost forgot! I finished the Gathered Tortoise Shells Bag early 2:30is this morning! The color is a little off in the pic. It is soft sage, kind of a mint green, very pretty! It's not the best picture. It took me forever today to get one that wasn't out of focus! Anyway, here it is!

 

It's beautiful! I love that pattern and how well it works up. So pretty.

 

Well, it has been a really sad day around here. I don't know if any of you heard about the stage collapse at the Indiana Star Fair last night. Five people died and about 45 others were injured. I don't know any of the people who died, but a co-worker was hurt. She's stable, but still in the hospital. So, I've been a little down today. I feel so bad for those people's families.

 

When I saw and heard about that yesterday, I immediately sent up prayers for everyone involved and their families.:hug

 

On good news, I finished the SBT I've been working on. I like how this one turned out.

 

I love the colors! Good job.

 

I'll chat with you all later.

 

I finished this tote recently, and love how it came out.

AWESOME! Good job and great color choice.

 

 

I'll get some Sunday then. Back is feeling good, wallet not so much. Bought 15 skeins of yarn and some other stuff.

 

15 skeins of yarn would make my back feel better too :rofl

 

OMGosh! I forgot all about the auction! I need to get on that.

 

 

That's it for now. Love, hugs and prayers to all!

I havent posted for awile,but I do try to read all the posts, guess thats why I cant post Im a slow reader!

I had to get my eyes checked, and need new glass's, then I started sinus problems again and had to go to the dr. Im glad I went when I did because, it was starting to go to my chest, sure dont want that again. Ive not been anywhere for three days, not even the po. Im feeling better today.

I love all the totes, they are so pretty, and such neat work, and the afghans pretty too.

My friend is making some of the stash buster totes, and wants to line them, can anyone remember how they cut the material for the lining?

to all who need them

[greyhoundgrandma]

All the photos have been great and are inspiring me to get back to more totes!

 

Tammy, use the items any way you would like and good luck with your efforts.

I hear ya! When I woke up around 10-ish, my stomach felt queasy, so hubby let me sleep in. I "plan" to be in bed much earlier tonight... we'll see how that goes! I know what you mean about having car issues on a work day - I haven't been a SAHM all my life; getting to call in for reasons other than being sick can be AWESOME!

Thank you Mama K! I hope your day was wonderful, too!! Trust me when I say your DD will be grown before you know it; go ahead and spend time with her now while she wants to hang out with you! It won't stay like that forever...

 

Just what I need a steel suit of armour!

 

Oh, yeah - that will be WONDERFUL for your back, won't it??

 

Good morning ladies! Just a quick post from me. Have a great day!

 

Thank you! I hope your day was great, too!!

 

I guess you are a late sleeper! I've had my nap, now I'm ready for the day!

 

Heh, yeah sometimes... then again, sometimes I'm an early-to-bed-so-I-can-function-in-the-morning type!! How was the rest of your day??

 

.:: Good Morning Kids ::.

so sorry for being so absent again. Hope all is well with everyone! I have a busy day of crocheting ahead of me! I have a few envelopes I need to mail out too! Right now I'm working on a baby blanket to use for the fundraiser for hubby! I'm testing Carlinda's corner to corner entrelac. In the midst of doing this ... I have gotten several ideas for more blankets! Love the pattern!

I've been super busy trying to get stuff made for the craft fair. Speaking of........... I want to ask you ladies a question... I wish I had thought of this before I asked for help. If whatever you all are sending to donate for hubby's fundraiser doesnt auction off... would you be upset if I put it on my table at the craft fair? The fair is the weekend after the auction. I'm nervous and excited about both.... I know by no means am I going to make tons of money... but I sure hope its enough to bring a smile to hubby's face!

okay... I need more coffee.

love you guys! Thank you for everything you have done for me and my family!

 

 

You can use what I send you for whatever you want! I'm just thrilled to be able to help out...

 

Hi all! Sorry to be MIA, again. Chemo knocked me off my feet. But, have finally figured out this new computer and think things have calmed down a bit for me. Trying to catch up here and a couple of other threads.

 

Weather here is cooler and I can feel FALL just around the corner!! YIPPEE!!! My favorite time of the year.

 

 

I love fall, too; it just never lasts long enough! I'd love a nice long Spring and a nice long Fall, and very brief Winter and a medium-sized Summer!!

 

Sorry to hear the chemo monster is keeping you down; prayers continue!!

 

I havent posted for awile,but I do try to read all the posts, guess thats why I cant post Im a slow reader!

I had to get my eyes checked, and need new glass's, then I started sinus problems again and had to go to the dr. Im glad I went when I did because, it was starting to go to my chest, sure dont want that again. Ive not been anywhere for three days, not even the po. Im feeling better today.

I love all the totes, they are so pretty, and such neat work, and the afghans pretty too.

My friend is making some of the stash buster totes, and wants to line them, can anyone remember how they cut the material for the lining?

to all who need them

 

Good to hear from you!! I know what you mean about posting, sometimes it's all I can do to make it through all the messages!

 

 

Have a wonderful evening, everyone!!

For those who were wondering, my youngest DD made the cheerleading squad at her high school!! :cheer:cheer:cheer:cheer:cheer:cheer She did play a joke on her boyfriend and told him she didn't make it! He was so upset! Then she couldn't stop laughing at his reaction she had to tell him the truth!

One of these days I'll remember to take the camera to get some pictures over at birds. Priscilla (Kestrel) is gorgeous!!

 

Going to school to get a book I need (ordered the rest on Amazon, but one was out of stock and the same price at the school bookstore so I'll get it there), then Joann's (the craft store, not NJ ), WalMart and Publix. Sometime in there we'll get lunch.

 

oh, for a minute there I thought you were taking at trip to NJ!!!:lol Read your later post- and see you picked up 15 more skeins of yarn!! :clap

 

Good morning everyone. This is a test message to see if the hospital's internet will let me post from my laptop today.

Lucky you--it works!!!!

As for me, you can use what I send however you'd like!!!

 

Kuddles- Hope your day went by smoothly---as far as DD---give it a few more years and she will want NOTHING to do with you for a while--trust me- I had 3 DD's--they are fun when they are young- and then pre-teen till about 18 or so---they are not so much fun---and mother doesn't know anything!:lol I'm blessed in that now all 3 of my DD's and I are good friends as well as being mother/daughters!!

 

Melani-Hope you get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight!!

 

Toni- Thanks for explaining the muskadines to me. They do sound good since I love grapes! Sorry that the chemo is kicking your behind--- Can't wait to see what has come off your hook!! How is your great grandson doing?

 

Nicole- How's your co-worker doing?

 

Evelyn- I did line some of the SBT's- with my DD's help, that is I think we followed these instructions: http://www.futuregirl.com/craft_blog/2008/1/tutorial-sew-lining-for-crocheted-bag.aspx
