Granny squares 2nd annual Happy Birthday Friendship/Comfortghan


Recommended Posts

Hi again all! Thanks for all the good thoughts and hugs.  They are greatly appreciated.  It's so wonderful/amazing/and (well kind of sad too), that  I have such a great group of friends here, people I've never met, but I know I can count on you to cheer me up.  Family and what I've always considered friends, not so much any more since I got sick.

Vicking, I'm so glad you got your squares and you like them!

Katie, thanks again for my squares.  They are fantastic!

cshort, hope you get to feeling better soon! :hug

Kuddles, good to hear that the replacement in your office is someone you like.  That makes things so much better.  Hugs to you and baby K.

Take care everyone.  I'll see ya tomorrow! :hook  :crocheting  :knit

Hello Everyone,

 

Well my not feeling sick sickness has gotten worse. I still feel ok but the cough is worse and everyone kept telling me I sounded like a mouse today when I did manage to get sounds out of my mouth. I've decided to spend tonight and tomorrow sitting on the sofa crocheting and not talking so my voice will get better, it's hard to teach without it.

 

Grannyannie, I'm keeping you and your hubby in my prayers and sending hugs.

 

Kuddles, I want to see the hat too.

 

VikingRunnerGirl, those are beautiful squares.

 

Have a great evening everyone. 

You poor thing! Feel better honey!

I took pix of her hat and my hat so I'll try to post today. I took half a day today so I can come home (while kiddles is in school) and get some stuff done, mainly get buttons uploaded to my destash etsy page!

 

more pics on some varg. squares im working on...................eye candy...

Gorgeous!

Oh Ann honey.....we love you and you are wonderful! My best friend is someone I have never met in person and lives in FL but we 'talk' every few days and help each other through the tough times. I wouldn't give her up for a 'real' friend around here! I've been disappointed in the past and now am VERY choosey!  I am worth it!

 

So off to get myself and Kiddles ready. I am so happy it is a short day (I work a 7 hour days so half day ends at 11:30 for me).

 

Love and hugs all around!

Good Morning Everyone!

 

I slept an extra hour and then my bladder decided it was time to get up. I'm feeling about the same as yesterday. My voice is a little better but I'm still avoiding talking today. I'm working on a lapghan for a local nursing home so that will keep me busy the day.

 

Hope everyone has a fantastic Friday.

If anyone has an interest, I posted a bunch of ceramic buttons on my etsy destash page (see sig).

 

I have a boatload of ribbon that I'm going to post in the destash section here on the ville for cheap. Shipping may cost more than the ribbon! If you have interest in ribbon, shoot me a PM and I can give you a peek. Not sure when I can post.....

 

Oh and I have some purse hardware, D rings and grommets......

 

Sigh.....so much stuff! But I'm never going to use it or at least not soon so better to destash!

 

Hope you are all having a super day!

Hello, everyone.  My, it's been a while since I was last here.  There's too much to catch up on.  I hope everyone is well or improving from any maladies.  It has been a long time since I've had the motivation to crochet anything.  I wasn't really sleeping, not eating much.  I ended up in emergency early last week.  So now I'm on meds that just make me so tired all the time.  I think my energy level is slowly building back up.  I can't explain what it is that is wrong aside from my blood pressure having been dangerously high.  That's not even the reason I finally drove myself to the hospital, but it turns out they had me stay while they monitored me because I was supposedly at high risk of stroke or heart attack.  Funny how our body can confuse us sometimes.  My goal is to crochet something tonight.  I'm really sick and tired of this long stretch of not having any desire for anything.  

 

Happy Thanksgiving!  That's in case I don't visit here before then.  I promise to do my best to at least lurk :)

hope you are better soon

I had the same thing with high blood pressure 5 yrs ago,in the ER they kept saying do you feel like you are going to pass out

I didn't feel like I was about to pass out and never did.Its called the silent killer,and I didn't have a clue it was high,I had gone in cause I felt like something was in my eye.

Good to hear from you, Maria! I do hope you're feeling better soon. I've had those periods of "nothingness" and I'm never upset to leave them behind!

Etsy link in sig no worky! :( And... and purse hardware! Grommets! D rings! Aaaaugh!

 

Not much to report here, really. We're having bedtime fights lately. He really doesn't want to go to sleep without us in the room, but I haven't gotten anything done in the evenings for ages because of it.... Ok, I've decided I'm going to *let* myself play Don't Starve once I've finished this post. Yes, I have a lot of projects to work on! But at the moment they're all feeling like work just because I'm feeling so much pressure to get them done (new winter pjs to replace too small ones, a Christmas present quilt that was *supposed* to be done for the first birthday... two years ago..., a wedding gift afghan - on December 4th; I haven't even *started* the crochet space shuttle I was going to do for another Christmas present. Though it's not like I don't have enough presents in my stash for him already, so I gueeeeess I could put that one on hold...  ;) ). I've had a hard week at work (I swear my company isn't going to have any lab people left in a year because we're all getting so fed up with how they're treating us - "big company mindset, but small company resources" as one of the guys said in our meeting yesterday) and instead of stressing myself out more I should just let myself sit back and do something that's pure fun with no "oh I should be doing this instead" guilt (which is what I was having trying to work on my rainbow-ghan just now).

 

Good morning all

cshort take good care of yourself

kuddles good to hear of your half day

lurkers Hi to you too,have a great Friday everyone and keep smiling

When I read this, I immediately heard Bugs Bunny in my head saying, "Remember, doc, keeeeeeep smiling!"

I didn't feel like I was about to pass out and never did.Its called the silent killer,and I didn't have a clue it was high,I had gone in cause I felt like something was in my eye.

I thought it was abdominal.  I was very short of breath, dizzy, and had spurts of energy for only minutes at a time.  Amazingly, I didn't have a headache.  When my blood pressure has been high, I've always had a splitting headache.  Not this time.  I was shocked when immediately after taking my vitals when I arrived, I was sent for an EKG.  I'm 40.  I never expected to be dealing with this stuff at this age.  At least now I know.  I must be even more careful with my health.

I hope you had fun letting yourself play, sometimes you just have to goof off a little to relax.

Thank you cshort for the square and fabric. The fabric was perfect .

You are welcome, I'm glad the fabrics will help. Sounds like you have been super busy.

 

I'm feeling a bit better today so I am working on my granddaughters Christmas outfit, they are planning to go for pictures in just over a week so I need to get busy.

 

Those of you in the paths of the storms stay safe, I'll be praying.

 

Have a great day.

Last night the girls and I went and finished up Thanksgiving shopping. Secret I didn't want to have to carry all the bags in the house myself so I waited for help.LOL But it was nice to have help and there company as well.

Then went and picked up daughter from school after ten. She was at a swimming meet. She did well. She is my fish in water.
