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

[Gardener]

Thanks very much everyone for the nice comments on my work. I've really got the urge to embroider and with that in mind I found a really cute quilt pattern that combines embroidery with piecing. I'm not sure if I'm ambitious enough to tackle it, but I'm thinking about it.

 

Julie, hope your weekend is wonderful.

 

Linda, enjoy spending time with Joy and your grandchild.

 

Marisa, hope you and your dad have a great weekend together.

 

Another very busy day at work today. At least it makes the time fly by. I'm just waiting for dinner to be ready (it's in the oven), and then dh and I are going to go run some errands.

 

I have started another variegated square too. I don't want to buy any yarn for these squares, but I'm finding some v. yarn in my stash.

She's here!!! Okay back to enjoying her company.

Hi everyone! It's the weekend and Judy is right~it is hot as Hades here!

 

Judy- I love the table set- I had one like your old one when my DD's were growing up. I had given it to my middle DD when she got an apartment. Then she moved a few times and somehow, the table is no longer- Mmmm --wonder if it disappeared on purpose? LOL

 

Cheeria- So happy that you are spending time with your grandson- it is hard on the older child when the baby comes along. It will be nice when his Daddy comes to visit!!

 

Tam- That shrug is beautiful! Your Mom is sure to LOVE it!!!!

 

Joy- Thanks for letting us know that Linda arrived safe and sound. Have fun you two!!!!!

 

Julie- thinking of you and wishing you a fun, safe, healthy time!

 

Tabitha- Hope the US went well and that you only have a sprain. I'm glad that the card arrived!!! Can't wait to get mine. I saw Alice in 3D at the movies- I loved it- we went for middle DD's birthday- She was an Alice fan all her life- even got the Alice in Wonderland dress for her 4th birthday.

 

DH just called- he wants me to meet him at the diner for dinner- so who am I to turn down cooking? Plus, I feel like breakfast food anyway!!!

 

I'll try to pop back in later

 

Hugs to all!

Tam: Shrug is great. Couldn't help but like it.

 

Judi. Like to old table, but new one is classy.

 

Been at DD for several days. Garden really coming along. Took some photos while I was there.

[judianne]

She's here!!! Okay back to enjoying her company.

:yay:yay

Have fun:manyheart

 

Judy that set is gorgeous. Exactly what I hope to have someday. Dh looked at it and agrees with me. Of course I just got a new kitchen set a couple of years ago, so it will have to wait a few years still!

It's funny - we had no idea what we were looking for but when we saw it it made us both stop and stare.

This set was only 299...a half price Memorial Day sale:D You could always donate your current set to charity and get a tax credit;)

 

I'm enjoying the stamped pieces. It's a lot easier on the eyes than counted cross stitch, and it's really a much different art.

I may be headed that way soon....x-st is gorgeous when done but the better-looking pieces seem to all be done on the smaller count cloth.

Wow, what a difference.....very modern.....love the centerpiece.

Thanks! We actually had that centerpiece but it was too dark for the other table. Nothing like repurposing:lol

 

Joanne, AJ is pitching tonight!

[judianne]

Judi. Like to old table, but new one is classy.

Perfect word to describe it!

Been at DD for several days. Garden really coming along. Took some photos while I was there.

Wow!! Looks like she could grow enough to sell some of it!! What a lot of work....

[judianne]

Off to watch the Yankees..CU all tomorrow!:manyheart

[marpan79]

Good evening ladies.....

 

Home from work and ate leftovers while reading through the posts

 

Julie - I know your gone and I hope you're having fun already!!! I got your second card today Thanks-a-bunch....you're going to spoil me And you're right, they both cheered me up

 

Judy - the table set is gorgeous....I love it!!!!

 

Tam - swimming sounds soo refreshing and you're mom will love the shrug...it came out beautifully

 

Mary - are you helping with your DDs baby shower? They are also soo much fun

 

Tab- I hope the US went well and it's just a sprain. I'm getting ready to start a new project too, not sure what yet, but it's exciting

 

Cheeria - Your grandbaby will enjoy spending time with his father!! Kids will feel left out a bit, but hopefully they'll try to include him with the little things taking care of the new baby, that way he'll feel 'needed'.

 

LeAnna - have fun at the relay 4 life tomorrow. Is it the actual event or just the fundraiser for now?

 

Cindy - my nanny and I used to sit and do the stamped embroidery when I was growing up, she taught me as a kid. I always that it was cheating to have the pattern stamped on it already I do currently have a x stitch WIP, but come to think of it, I don't know where it is I'll have to look for it.

 

Joy - glad to hear your mom made it safe and sound Have fun and tell her to do the same.

 

Joanne - I love diners and breakfast...they make the best combo Enjoy!!! Let's go Flyers!!!!

 

Wani - your garden looks amazing!!! Great work

 

Hello Sheila and Sherri, hope you ladies had a great day

 

Going to change out of my work clothes and see what's on tv, while I I'm going to hold off on my photo and will probably get it up tomorrow...I'm too close to finishing

[imanurse55]

I had breakfast at the diner- eggs, home fries and toast! It was delish! Now I'm home watching the Yankees and then will switch to the Hockey game

 

Marisa- Go Blackhawks;) Can't wait to see your finished ghan!!!

 

I didn't take pics of my squares- but honestly, nothing exciting- the sky is getting dark oh, I guess that is because it's almost 8PM!

 

I'll try in the AM

 

That garden is awesome Wani!! Wow- what a lot of work that is- Yes, there's enough there to feed the House!!!!

 

Hope everyone has a great evening!!!

[QueenOfCrochet]

Thanks Joanne and Marissa....I forgot to mention that there is no clot. Just a sprain....I hope.

[MeSillywoohoo]

I'm having a bad day. It's been stressful and upsetting. I'm about to head to bed, R and I have to get up very early and head out of town at about 4:30 to begin setting up for the festival at 5. F is staying the night at Grandmas. I'm kind of sad at how much time she wants to spend at my mils. I love my mother-in-law to pieces but I miss my kid

 

I'll post photos of all my stuff tomorrow when I get home. Have a nice night ladies!

[Gardener]

Wanda, your dd's garden looks amazing!

 

Marisa, I have several cross stitch WIPs (and I think I know where they are too!), but I'm not too into cross stitch at the moment. Every once in a while I get them out and work on them. Its not as easy as it used to be because of my aging eyes.

 

 

 

Good night everyone.

[marpan79]

Well, I just heard my SIL is pregnant!!!!

 

She has 3 boys and I think they plan to keep trying for a girl, so keep your fingers crossed.

 

Back to my

[1wani]

Well ladies, I finally got my power chair from the Scooter store. If I can just get a ramp and carrier for it, I might be able to get out into the world again. lol. Right now I am learning to drive it around the house and not hit stuff. Not as easy as you might think. Practice, practice, and more practice. Hope you all have a great weekend. :hug

[teakaycee]

Tam your shrug you made is very pretty!! What a wonderful gift for your mom!!

Judy love the new table!! It does make a big difference!!

Thank you hon!!!! I think she'll like it! I made her a sweater for Christmas and she LOVED it!

 

Beautiful.....I am sure she will love it! How is Michael doing?

 

Wow, what a difference.....very modern.....love the centerpiece.

 

Joanne~Thank you for the card, it was so nice to learn more about you and your famiy. I sent yours out today....I know last minute Charlie.

Thank you!!!!

Michael is doing okay. The edema is really bugging him today... but he's hangin' tough! He had a baseball game tonight.. so he's pooped now!

 

 

I love it!! (so if your mom hates it....., just kidding, she will love it too!) What yarn did you use? Your yarn shows off the pattern a lot better than mine does.

aww.. thanks sweetie!

I used ILTY Antique White its nice and soft!

Good morning!

 

Well, it was a not a good sports night for me. But I must give congrats where they are due- so Marissa- here you go-- congrats on the Flyers win- Now the series is tied so it should be really fun to see who comes out on top!!!

 

That is great news about your SIL!! Fingers crossed for a girl- but mostly for a healthy baby! I chuckled when you said they keep trying for a girl. Three was my limit! And I have 3 girls! then my nephew was born 6 mos after my youngest- and I'm his godmother- closest I came to having a son!

 

Wani- that's great that you got your power chair- good luck with the practicing!!

 

Tam- Glad to hear Michael's doing ok- and that he was able to play baseball! And again, the shrug is gorgeous.

 

Judy- I was flipping back and forth between the Yankees and hockey. I guess AJ didn't have a good night...oh, well, today is another day!

 

Tabitha- Glad to hear that the US was negative and that you "only" have a sprain!

 

Have a great day everyone- it's a muggy one here! Off to get another cup of coffee and do some cleaning!

Thats great. Hope you learn all the ins and outs of it quickly!

[Gardener]

Good morning everyone. Its humid here too. Its supposed to be a rainy weekend, although it doesn't look too bad out there at the moment.

 

Tab, glad you got good news about the ankle. Somehow I missed that yesterday.

 

I have another variegated square half finished and I hope to finish dd's shrug today as well. I just need her to stand still long enough to see if she likes the length of the sleeves. And of course there is always cleaning and laundry to do!

[judianne]

Good morning, House mates!

 

Thanks Joanne and Marissa....I forgot to mention that there is no clot. Just a sprain....I hope.

That's good news - now you have to REST IT!:yes

F is staying the night at Grandmas. I'm kind of sad at how much time she wants to spend at my mils. I love my mother-in-law to pieces but I miss my kid

She's grow up with wonderful memories, though - one on one attention is good. I had that from my godmother as a kid and after all theses decades I still remember how great it felt.

Well, I just heard my SIL is pregnant!!!!

 

She has 3 boys and I think they plan to keep trying for a girl, so keep your fingers crossed.

 

Back to my

A baby blanket will soon be on your hook, methinks:hook

A dear friend put more than a few knicks and dings on her door frames as she learned to use hers. But now she's a pro...practice will get you there, too.

[judianne]

I still have to take a pic of my V squares (2 is all I'm doing) I'll do that by Monday.

I want to do another deep border section on the graph ghan to make it a decent sized lapghan, then it's on to other projects.

 

CU all later - keep cool! It's an icky day here....leaving my haor in curly mode since there's no sense in fighting it.

 

Later, gators:hug
