crochet tote addicts CAL

Good morning children! On my 4th (or is it 5th) cup of coffee, still trying to wake up!

 

We finally got the rain we've been needing! Yesterday quite the storm went thru......but boy we needed it! Got to turn off the air again, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

Good day yesterday, got some stuff done around the house. DD is feeling better which is a blessing and a curse......she thinks she is all that now, but is still tired so we go from 0 to 60 often! She'll be better today, and better tomorrow....

 

Monday I have a babysitter (woot!) and a friend and I are going to the Frankfort Fest. Tons of craft booths! I got some birthday money (thanks Mom!) so may treat myself to a pair of earrings or a bracelet!

 

I did a lot of crocheting yesterday while I made sure DD was taking it easy part of the day. Finished a tote that I named Snowcapped Mountain Tote. I'll post a pic when I can. Started another this morning (yes at 6 am while DD is watching cartoons) with Cotton Ease (finally, I got some from the HIJ plus bought some on clearance) so I'm excited to see how the dark gray and terracotta look together!

 

Wow this is long! Guess I had a lot to catch up on!

 

Back to my coffee and my DD! Have a GREAT day everyone!

Hi there MamaK!!!

 

So happy that DD is getting back to feeling herself:clap Love the name of the tote! I'm intrigued to see what this one looks like ---I know it'll be gorgeous, just like everything you make! I had bought a bunch of the CottonEase on clearance too!!! I really like it--and I have terracotta and grey too. (great minds, you know:lol--plus clearance prices doesn't hurt:lol)

 

The RR I am making (and hope to finish today) is made with Cotton Ease and i love it- it's lake (blue), taupe and maize (golden yellow).

 

Laundry is done!! Just need to fold the clothes---and then it's hooky time for a little bit!!!

My favorite name is for a female tort...Nueve. She was the ninth to come in for the year and we couldn't think of a name. I kept calling her "Nine" and the boss didn't like her just having a number. :D

 

:turtle:vheart

That's an adorable name!

 

Hi Ann!! Coffee is ready!!! On my 2nd cup (which has now become YOUR cup):hug

 

 

You're a sweetie! Thanks! ;)

afternoon everyone. Storms came through at my lace last night. They got pretty bad. We are ok, but some trees were hurt pretty bad and I have no power. We heard it will be out until tomorrow at the earliest. So I won't be on till probably tues. Or wed. Since I have to get my school work done first and yep internet is out now so it will be a mad scramble. In the mean time I am enjoying the no air. No lights no tv...and high humidity....note the sarcasm I strongly dislike not having technogy around me. :( have a good labor day everyone

Oh, so sorry to hear this!!! I truly empathize with you---and I hear the folks in Louisiana are not having good weather with Trop Storm Lee either...Mother Nature is spreading her wrath around the country!!!:hugThe President is in NJ today to survey the damage that Irene caused!!!

I've been tortoise sitting for a co-worker. She hated having to leave her little ones alone and was going to take them across the state with her. I told her to drop them off and they could stay with Monty since his enclosure has plenty of room. They were all sleeping in the log and I had to get a picture. Didn't know Walt stuck his head up until I took the picture. He looks like he's asking "Is Mom here yet?" :lol

 

Left to right...Roy, Walt (head sticking up) and Monty (mine).

Thanks about the tote!

This is Sue's Hobo Hearts pattern. I love this pattern. I only did 2 rows of hearts instead of 3 but the purse came out really big anyway. I used an H hook and cotton yarn. I love you the way it came out. Just have to finish the lining. :cheer:clap:yay

Having a nice day again today!!! The Yankees won their game and I only have 1 more round on the RR!!!

 

Sky is getting cloudy- so I think we may have an angel bowling game in a little bit.

Congrats on the win and can't wait to see a pic of the RR when you're done!!!

Love the pic of Roy, Walt and Monty, Sue. Enjoy your day off tomorrow!!! Oh, and glad to hear that Cappucino is the next name up for the turtles!!

 

Lil hippie- the Hobo Hearts tote came out great- I love your color choices!!!

 

I finished my RR!! Woot!!! Ends all weaved in and I'll try and get a pic tomorrow!

 

Tomorrow before we head to DD's for the Bar-b-que, I hope to get back to the felted ripple tote and finish another Shelly scarf. Then, I plan to do another Stash Buster Tote since those are my favorite- I don't have to think when I make those--and they work up so fast since you use two strands of yarn!!!

Rise and Shine Sleepy Heads!!! What do you think this is a holiday or something? :lol I've been up since 5, but haven't really gotten anything accompished. Just piddling around on the computer. I frogged back 10 rows of hubbies hat yesterday, so I'll work on that today. Hopefully it will be "right" this time! :reyes Enjoy the day everyone! :hug

Hey everyone,

 

My dad and I have been working diligently all week during the days and then there's usually something going on in the evening. Yesterday my sister had a BBQ with kabobs and a couple friends came over as well as her bf sisters family, I just love them.

 

Got a room painted yesterday and another taped up and ready to go. The guys are doing some work so that needs to get done before I can really get going in there. But all is going well. My mom and aunt helped clean over the weekend too. They're leaving today and will probably be back when I'm able to get stuff dine in the building.

 

I did not go back to read what I've missed....10 pages was just too much for me this morning. The troops are starting to wake up around here so I guess it'll get crazy in a short time, but I enjoyed my quiet early morning time.

 

I'll try to make it back much sooner next visit.

I hope everyone has a good Labor Day, though I know some areas will be getting lots of rain. It's raining lightly here now, with more than 4 1/2" from T.S. Lee. Most of that was yesterday. I know many places got much more than that.

So I got lots of relaxing and reading done, and some crocheting, too. And I'll be doing more of the same before we head back home today.

Yeah, it's overcast here today. Supposed to get super foggy by the end of the day. That's ok, we don't have any plans. Dh is just pulling in from work, so he'll be heading to bed soon anyway.

 

Have a great day all!:hug
