Hi Everyone!!!

[lemdas]

I'm new here and wanted to say hi to everyone. I have e-mailed back and forth with Donna and told her I would join up, and finally got around to it today.

 

I (like so many here) learned to crochet from my grandmother and mom, but I haven't for many many years. Recently got bit by the bug, and have picked it up again....almost obsessively! I am a SAHM, married to a great guy for almost 18yrs. and have one DD about to enter Jr. High

 

My recent projects are several shawls, a poncho (heck I was doing your CAL and didn't even know it!) and am now embarking upon Donna's darling little basket.

 

Glad to be here, I love reading all your posts!

Thanks for the warm welcomes to all.

 

The basket is going SLOWLY! lol! Those beads sure do slow down progress, but I suppose in the end only more rewarding!

Leann! Glad you've joined us!

[Donna]

Yeah, the beads take a while until you get the hang of them. Even then, it slows things down. I'm looking forward to seeing yours!

This is a great place for fun AND information.

Hi Amber~

 

{My computer froze up just as I was about to send the first response to this...Grrrr...maybe this time!}

 

Unfortuantely, no, my little girl that I planned to do all these mother/daughter crafty projects with is totally UN-interested in stuff like this. We are both Virgos and we butt heads terribly whenever we try to do anything crafty together! However, she is a terrific little artist (gets that from my mom and grandmother). At this time though, she is only into doing comic strip type stuff.

 

She is only 11 (12 in Sept) so hopefully one day she will have a change of heart. I didn't get serious about sewing and stuff till I was in my 20's, had to mature and develop some patience first.

 

I am impressed with you doing stuff like this at your young age. My best friend growing up was into needlepoint and sewing from a very young age. Today she has a successful custom drapery/pillows/rug import business in CA. So, keep it! maybe one day we can all say 'we knew her when' about you!

 

take care,

Leann

Thanks Leann! I"ll try to make it there!

She might catch the bug later. You do need some patience.
