Mary...Good luck....cant wait to see him

[SouthernPeachHooker]

Omg Im excited... Next week I'll be picking up yarn for my first quilt ghan. Im going to stick with the Wind Walker lapghan. It seems easiest to do. I think I may practice with a checkered board pattern though with my scrap yarns.

Oooooh, Mary :yay How exciting!! I hope Baby Luke is already here, and that you have had a chance to hold and cuddle him. Prayers being said that DD and Baby are both doing well You must be on Warm wishes to the entire new family.

That's great! Practice is good, too - odds and ends make great pet ghans for shelters...furbabies aren't picky:)

[judianne]

Off to make some more squares for my ever-growing blanket....

CU later.

Hi all from water soaked NJ! I can't wait for the nicer weather which is supposed to be here tomorrow!

 

Mary- Grandson on the way!!! How exciting!!!! What a great day for you!!!

 

Judy- Yes, I think I am another "victim" and which one caught my eye? All of them!. But I think I'm going to do the ATW in lots of different colors! Plus they are all solid squares! and it would be nice to meet in RL if I ever get a day off:lol Seriously- that would be fun (and I could learn lots from you:yay)

 

Julie- Glad to hear that you DD made it home safely! have fun at Cam's concert tonight!

 

Cheeria- Did you get lots of crocheting done today- perfect rainy day to be inside--the roads were not fun driving home- you can't see the potholes since they are filled with water!

 

Tam- I love my coffee too:manyheart , but I don't knit:lol I do have a little plaque in my cubicle at work that says "Behind every successful woman is a substantial amount of coffee"

 

Tab- good luck with your papers and finals- last 2 weeks of class there's always lots to do- You can do it!

 

Diane- RE: Dancing/Stars, I'm with you. i agree Buzz can't dance, and I'm not a fan of Kate (and she can't dance either) I think Nicole will do well and I also like Evan (the skater. Can't wait to see who gets the boot tonight

 

Everyone else- hope you have a great evening.

 

I think dinner is almost done so I better go check it before we have burned chicken!

Hello, everyone. Another busy day at work, but I have two days off now. Its supposed to be wonderful weather both those days too. I think tomorrow I may go to the zoo with the grandsons.

 

Mary, hope the new grandson is here now and all is well.

Julie, glad your dd got home safely.

Diane, sorry about the identity thing. Something similar happened to my dd and her dh. Someone in the UK got into their bank account, but the bank immediately questioned the transaction because it originated outside the US.

 

I feel like sewing today...(but not saltines!!) I'm not getting into those in the foreseeable future! I might do a little work on the quilt I've been working on.

Hello.

 

Which one will you be doing?? I have done several and love them. I wish you luck and hollar if you need any help.

[QueenOfCrochet]

Thank you Joanne.

[judianne]

Joanne, it would be fun to meet!

 

I met Kathy (losingmymind2) from here...her mom lives 5 minutes away and she was staying with her for a while...it is fun to do that!

 

I don't know what you could learn from me...unless it's what to do when you make mistakes in your work:lol

 

Have a good night, everyone:hug:manyheart

http://www.happyyellowhouse.com/htm/windwalker.html I am going to do this one! I found colors to use from my stash so I cant wait! Im going to use cream, light blue, and turquoise!

That looks like a great pattern. Since it is a lapghan it should work up a little more quickly. Your colors sound yummy! I use to do fabric quilting years ago. Don't have the room anymore and the eyes are not as good so crocheting quilts fills that void for me. Just love it.

[Gardener]

Good night everyone.

[craziebunny]

Check to see if there was news on the new little one yet!

Have a goodnight gardener!

[imanurse55]

So I have been unable to resist and am going to make this one:http://www.happyyellowhouse.com/htm/woven.html

 

I thought I would do this one first since it is all solid granny's and 3blocks X 4 blocks wide. I am making it in dusty blue, silver blue, and linen. I have started- 6 saltines done!

 

Good night!

Hi Ladies. Thanks so much for being here for us. Baby Luke was born at 6:24 this evening, weighing in at 6 pounds 7 ounces and is 19 1/2 inches. DD ended up having a C section; baby and mom are doing great! We just got home about 30 minutes ago, but I will post pictures tomorrow. He is just adorable, has lots of brown hair, and already has his U of Texas socks and TCU cap on.

 

This Granny and Gramps are tired so I'll check in tomorrow.

[Shaylen]

Oh Mary That is so awesome...its such an overwhelming hard to describe feeling when you hold them for the first time....I'm so gad that things went well and that baby and Mom are fine,,,,Im so happy for you.Cant wait for photos.
