Good morning!!!

 

Coffee is on and I'm on my second cup (and you know who that one is for;))

 

 

Had a good time last night- and now I'm getting ready to do some cleaning. Drat, where did Saturday go? Oh, yea, I was babysitting!!!:lol

 

This afternoon is football and :crocheting

 

To all the Grandmas---HAPPY GRANDPARENT'S DAY!!!!!

Happy Grandparent's Day to you too! Thanks for the cuppa, I needed it! :)

 

Thanks Ann and Joanne! :hug

 

Now if the birds will be nice to me today... :lol

 

:turtle:vheart

Those birds better be nice to you today! :lol

 

Totes I've been working on. The crochet one I call The Hope Bag. The two sewn ones are project bags, not sure where they are going but glad to have them done!

 

Thanks for letting me show them to you!!

The totes are gorgeous! Love the purple jewel tone one. And the Hope bag, well, you named it perfectly!

Laundry is in the dryer, whatever cleaning I planned on doing is done and grocery shopping is done!! WOOT!

 

Kuddles- Love all the totes---I am especially partial to the purple/blue jewel tone one- it almost looks quilted in the picture. Beautiful!!!!! Have a wonderful day

 

Ann- Glad you liked the coffee. After I finished the grocery shopping, I decided to stop in Starbucks and get a cup and between 9-11 they were offering free coffee to encourage kindness, hope, love, etc in the honor of those whose lives were lost in 9/11. I thought that was a pretty neat thing to do.

 

Evelyn- Enjoy your breakfast out!!! i love eating out for breakfast!!!

 

Sherry- Happy Grandparents Day right back at you!!!

That was a really neat thing to do. I hope more places did that today.

 

I've got a question for you guys........I'm having a brain freeze! :lol I think I found a pattern for Juno's doggie sweater, but it calls for wool ease thick & quick and I want to use RHSS that I have in my stash. Do you think I could double it or use one strand ww and one strand sport weight? I can't believe I'm having such a hard time finding a silly dog sweater pattern and now I might have to go out and buy yarn for it! :lol (DH asked me to make it to match his hat!) Shhh, don't tell him I told you guys! :dog

Thanks! Not that I'd mind shopping but I'd have to talk him into taking me to Michael's or AC Moore's again and I don't think that's happening for quite a while! :lol Especially since they are so far away!

 

Thanks for all the praise for the totes!

 

Joanne, those totes are made with quilted material! You nailed it!

 

kuddles

She's so smart! :P Must be all the coffee! :lol

Thanks for the birthday wishes ladies. :hug

 

Ann, funny you say that about the birds being nice. We had this guy start out as a volunteer for us and I recommended him for a job at birds (which he got and started yesterday). He's quite the artist and he made this card for me. The bird is Priscilla the kestrel.

Ducky - so sorry to hear this news, I hope your back is better soon. Will be praying for all of you.

 

Sue - glad you had a good day and the card is really cute!

 

Ann - hope you had a great weekend!

 

Had a good day today, took the grandsons to church and youngest DD went with us. Their momma called just as we pulled in the park to see if they wanted to go to church with her. She was sad that we were already there. (I never call her when we have the boys as it's the only day she gets to sleep in).

 

Got to crochet some this evening. Still working on the granny ripple bag. Had to get more yarn (yeah, had to LOL), so I'm about 1/2 done with it.

 

DH still hasn't gotten word on leaving for NY. They told him to come in and work tomorrow, so maybe it will be later tomorrow or Tuesday when they send him.

 

Everyone have rest well and talk with you tomorrow.

Good morning!

Ducky It sounds like FIL is doing better if they were able to move his room, take out the NGT and the oxygen! Continued prayers for him---and for you- How's your back?

 

Sherry- Safe travels to your DH --and positive thoughts for you- it's hard to be apart for a few weeks- but like you mentioned, the extra $ will come in handy. Hope you have a good day.:hug

 

Ann- I'm about ready to start your cup of coffee----so you should be all good!;)

 

Jana- Thinking of you and keeping Keri in my prayers. How's she doing?

 

Tam- Good luck with getting things ready for the fundraiser--it's coming up soon, isn't it?

 

Kuddles- Have a good day at work and hope DD has a great day at school.

 

Sue- Is it school, work or both today?

 

Marisa- Thinking of you- and hoping things are progressing along nicely with getting your practice ready.

 

I saw that our library has a craft club on Monday evenings- I may just pop over there tonight- all depends on how tired I am after Paradise!

 

Till later....

Good morning Joanne, and everyone! I'm on my third cup of coffee...can't wake up since my DD got me up twice last nite! Don't ask......but suffice it to say I am VERY tired today!

 

Going to the state office first to print off some stuff, speech tonite for DD, so will be tired again. But wait a minute, as a mom I seem to be tired all the time! Is this normal all you moms out there??????

 

Hugs to all that need them.....seems like we go in waves here.

 

So much going on in people's lives......it's good to remember something a dear friend told me once "you never know what goes on behind closed doors." I try to remember that when dealing with people that are less than 'nice' or seem to not be in good moods......maybe they have something going on at home that is making them act less than nice! I TRY to remember that....

 

Well next up getting Miss Thing ready for school. Have a GREAT day all!

Good Morning! Happy Monday!

 

Mama K - Sounds like a busy day and yes, being a mom can make you tired. I had 3 to keep up with and now I have the 2 grandsons! But I wouldn't trade them for anything (although I had days I probably would have LOL).

 

Joanne - have a great day and hope you can check out the craft club tonight.

 

Ann - have a great day! Hope you're feeling better.

 

Ducky - keep up posted on FIL, hopefully he is doing better since they've moved him to another room. Prays said for you. Hope your back is better.

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!
