Our House Part One (go to Part Two for posting)

[hseger]

Thanks ladies!

 

I don't know who will get it. I will either sell it or keep it for me I haven't decided yet.

[Skysmom]

What fun! ~ I leave for a day and come back to see old friends posting.

 

Heather ~ Your geo 'ghan is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing the picture.

 

Judy ~ Scrubbing floors, bloodwork and finishing another christening afghan...aren't we about the same age? You're doing better than I am. The afghan is so pretty.

 

Hi Wendy!

 

Tracy ~ Are you and Kyla settled into your new home? Have you been painting?

 

Dusti ~ I'm so glad you're feeling better. Yes, they're planning on keeping the little guy downstairs until he's 4 or 5 and the crib converts all the way to a full size bed.

 

Linda ~ Scream all you want! I wish we were closer, so we could give you a break once in a while. Keeping our fingers crossed that he continues to improve quickly.

 

I hope I haven't missed anyone...today has been a busy one. DD called a few minutes ago and asked if I'd like to come see the sonogram in the a.m. - at 8:30 downtown! I'll be there with bells on.

[rii698]

Mary ~ What a lovely invitation from you DD! I cannot imagine a better way to start you day than with an updated pic of the little babe All is well, and this sonogram is just an update? Enjoy your time with DD

 

Wendy & Tracy ~ So good to see you gals

 

All our friends ~ Have a good day!

 

in the forecast, today. Temps are really nice, and I think the girls and I need to take out our snowshoes for a hike this afternoon. Littlest DD has an eye appointment (fingers crossed the muscles in her eye are strengthening with our current therapy, and that we do not have to throw anything else at her) right after school, and since our usual schedule will be off-kilter, anyway, I say we play in the snow for awhile. I finished my first sock last night Even better, it fits and feels great I am all set to start on the second, and then the girls have put in their orders for pairs of their own. Does this surprise you? Me either. More socks in my future:yes

 

Have a great day!

[judianne]

Mary, you're so blessed with the relationship with your DD:c9 Are they doing the 3D version of the sonogram?

 

And I'm 61 now. I think having to keep up with the 2 big dogs and the house has kept me young...that and a bit of caffeine to keep my engine running:lol

I hope you have a good day.

 

Dusti, I hope you have a great day:hug

 

Linda, I'm thinking of you:hug:manyheart

[tracysthings]

Mary, aaawwwww, that is great to go with DD for that.

 

Dusti, Have fun with the girls in the snow and hope it all goes well with her eye appointment.

 

Linda, scream when you need to.

 

Mary, we have painted the bathroom and the lounge, then the boiler broke and we didn't have heating, so stopped painting because took so long for paint to dry. We might do Kyla's room this weekend, will see how Alice the cat is tomorrow. I am fostering her before adopting her and she is still very timid and hides all the time. Don't want to be moving things around and scaring her.

Oh, Mary, what fun! Seeing the sonogram is so exciting. What's the due date? I've forgotten.

 

Good morning. Thanks to everyone for letting me vent. I think we are down to 10 days now before John flies the coop. He's going to be pushing to go to less than a walker today with the physical therapist. The minimum time before he can drive is 3 weeks. I don't know what he'll do if the surgeon extends that, because he's taking that as a given.

 

I finished a Celtic knot shawl for me today. I'll take a picture in a bit. It's wool so it should help me to stay warm. I get cold so easily, especially when I'm tired.

 

It's supposed to be a lot warmer today. Thank goodness. This is the coldest stretch we've had in 25 years and the coldest winter in 30 years. Hopefully it's gotten it out of it's system and we can go back to normal temps which are in the mid to upper 50s.

Hi Dusti! I hope all goes well at the eye doctor appointment. Enjoy your sunny day and the snow. Congratulations on finishing your first sock.

Yep, 60 is not far away for me. I think the pets really do keep us more active.

 

Mary, aaawwwww, that is great to go with DD for that.

Oh! Alice is such a great name for a cat. I'll bet she'll come out of her shell before long. Way to go on getting some of the painting done.

Can't wait to see your shawl! Yes, we're back to more normal temps, too and I'm so glad!

[Skysmom]

Okay, the silly virus scan finally ended...it always kicks in at the wrong time.

 

Baby Luke is doing just fine! He weighs about 2 1/2 pounds now and is definitely active. It was wonderful to see the little guy this a.m.

 

Time for some crocheting for me. I hope everyone is having a good day.

[busy-bee-lmt]

Hi all! John graduated from the walker to a cane today. He called it quits early tonight though, he was worn out from all the extra activity. He's due to get his staples out on Monday. I'm just taking things a little bit of a day at a time and hanging in there. Thanks for all your support.

[judianne]

Linda...I know it doesn't seem like it at your end, but John is making great progress. He'll be out of your hair soon:lol

 

Mary...Luke is already way bigger in weight than my great nephew Dean was when he was born at 7 months!! I'm so happy you got to see the sonogram:hug

[busy-bee-lmt]

Hi, Judy. I know John is making great progress. It's just that he's in such a hurry that I worry that he's going to overdo and put himself back. He's already planning on 4 super-long, strenuous days for for his first days back at the office. Two business flights in two days and a major client presentation are included in that. And that's just 3 weeks after the surgery.

[luvtocrochet757]

Hi everybody,

 

Happy New Year to all. I've had computer problems. I've also been working long grueling days and nights. I should be getting my life back. I have a new District Manager who does not want us managers to work 50-60 hour per week. Things are looking better.

 

What happen to the Sky Ladies Crochet-Along?

 

Hope everyone is doing well. Missed you guys.

 

Going to take a nap.

 

Stayed up toooo late!

[judianne]

Linda, I'm with you - I hope John doesn't overdo...

 

Valerie...Hi! I'm so glad to hear work is going to get a bit less stressful for you:hug

[busy-bee-lmt]

Hi, Valerie! We've missed you. Hope things quiet down really soon.

[busy-bee-lmt]

I bought the yarn for my dragon quiltghan this afternoon. RHSS in Turqua for the sky, Hunter green for the trees, Grey Heather for the rock, and Amythyst, Lavender, and Black for the dragon. I'm using this for the Weight Loss CAL and I get to make 2 saltines for every quarter pound lost, and 1 saltine for each day I keep a food journal, and 1 saltine for every ten minutes of exercise.

[Skysmom]

Hi Ladies!

 

Mary...Luke is already way bigger in weight than my great nephew Dean was when he was born at 7 months!! I'm so happy you got to see the sonogram:hug

Aww, I remember your telling us about Dean! I'll bet he's grown lots.

Beautiful colors! It's so much fun to buy yarn.

 

Hi Valerie! I hope you'll have more time to visit and crochet soon.

 

The Animals baby ghan is finished! It's cloudy, rainy and nearly dark so pictures will probably be tomorrow.

[judianne]

Mary, congrats on the finish!!!

 

Linda, I like those colors you picked out. Do you have all the yarn you'll need? Or are thos the larger skiens in the pic? I saved the chart you made. I'll be interested to see how you do the details around the dragon's face.

I think I've got all the yarn I'll need, but it may be close on some of the colors. I bought 4 each of the turqua and green, 2 of the grey, 2 of the black, and I think 4 of the amethyst and 3 of the lavendar. I'll use just a smidgeon of red for the eye. All but the grey are the 7 oz skeins. The grey were only 5 oz skeins.

[judianne]

Linda, I wish you luck on the ghan and the weight loss!!

 

...this may be my last post here...i'm about to speak out and end up being banned from here...anyway, if Nicole or anyone wants to get in touch with me and I'm no longer around I already gave you my email addy. Feel free to share it.

 

"Talk" soon....:manyheart

[busy-bee-lmt]

Oh, dear, Judy! We'll miss you here.

 

7 1/2 days before John decides to jump back into a heavy week at work. I just hope he doesn't end up crashing at the end of the week. He is pushing himself so hard and just won't listen to me when I ask him to take it easy. He doesn't seem to think that his body needs as much time to heal as the "normal" person. Oh, well.

 

It's overcast here and due to rain all weekend.

[Skysmom]

Good Morning!

All but the grey are the 7 oz skeins. The grey were only 5 oz skeins.

 

It's going to be exciting to see this one come together. Now that the baby ghan is finished, I plan on getting back to Just Ducky #3.

 

We'll just keep our fingers crossed that John doesn't have any set backs. He sounds as hard headed as my DH.

 

Judy ~ We'll miss you.
