It's finally breathable outside. Planning on going to the beach, with a project and just hanging out there, under a tree!

It's finally bearable here, too, (not even 80 yet) but that's because it's raining. But we are NOT complaining--we desperately need the rain.

[Shannart]

Wow..it looks like scores haven't posted yet so.....

Not much time for crocheting lately, but I did manage to wipe out 3 balls of yarn.

I'm soooo sorry. I had so much to do yesterday and totally forgot about doing scores until a couple minutes ago. Thanks for stepping in CLLinda.

With 100 degree temps, I don't think too many people were out buying anything but ice cream! :sun:icecream:icecream:icecream

[CLLinda]

Where is everyone? Did I say something wrong?

 

[Braxxi]

LOL! I think everyone is outside now that they can be!

[Ellie 13]

I'm using RHSS 7 oz. skeins in rainbow colors and 3 balls of black I found. 6" squares takes less than 1/2 a skein of the color, so nothing to count . I used 2 balls of black though (+2) . Maybe I should make 8 sq. X 10 sq. instead of 6 sq. X 6 sq. I know I have pounder of black somewhere . The squares work up quick, but them together will take forever. I'm posting my score now, because I'm not sure if I'll get back here before Sat. I'm going to N.H. on Sat. for my nieces double graduation party, one from H.S., one from U.N.H. .

WTD: + 2 YTD: + 68

Well, I did a little shopping - a skein of RHSS Aruba Sea to finish a project, and two clearance skeins of I Love This Yarn Seaside ombre. I've used two skeins, so at the moment I'm down -2, but I'm almost finished with a yellow skein. I'll at least break even this week, but hope to climb back up the positive side!

I've been stuck in the kitchen. The garden is about to whip me. Butterbeans on top of the regular eggplant, zucchini, and okra. Peas, corn and yellow squash have slowed down. Tomatoes are coming in faster than I can do something with them or give them away. After several years of the tomatoes not doing much, we are just covered up this year. And now the figs are getting ripe.

 

My yarn is calling me, but it keeps getting a busy signal!

[ddc]

Ah, Mona, I wish I lived next door - I would take all the tomatoes you would part with!

[ddc]

Uh-oh! I just saw that Joann.com has one of their 30% off every yarn sale - AND free shipping. I have a bad feeling about where I'll be in the ranking in a week or so. And so go the good resolutions!

[prettywoman030981]

Going to be out of town and super busy for almost 2 weeks starting tomorrow, so I'll be missing checking in.

[FrLopLady]

used up a skein making 3 hats.

+2

[CLLinda]

Working on my green afghan for the county fair. It's probably about 2/3's done. Has to be ready by the 30th. Plus I've got other little projects to finish for the fair. It's crunch time!

Nothing like working under pressure! Good luck with finishing everything!

 

Donna--I would certainly share. We keep telling our friends and neighbors to eat them faster! We haven't had tomatoes for breakfast yet, but that may be next.

I wonder how they would taste on an english muffin with a little cheese on top for breakfast?

 

I only wish we had a garden. Haven't planted one in a few years.

working on scarves and I do so like RH shimmer, but not using it up as fast as I would like. -21 as of this moment, hopefully I will use a couple more skeins before Saturday
