Yay! Joanns online has all of their yarn on sale! :yarn I need to order a bunch, so it's great timing. I truly love the Bernat Berella 4 and none of our stores carry it.

 

Here is Miss Gracie with Zoe's collapsible tunnel.:lol She dragged it into the breakfast room from DH's office the other day and loves it.

 

Oh no! She squished Zoe's tunnel :rofl I sure hope Zoe isn't planning revenge for the mice theft and now the tunnel destruction :lol

 

I'm pretending it isn't 101 degrees and am putting on a big pot of vegetable-beef soup after while. I woke up thinking about soup...so I'll just turn the a.c. down to feel more like fall. :D

 

That's what I've done today too :lol With this heavy quilt in my lap and I decided I wanted to bake cookies. :lol

 

The saltines are all made and sewn together to make the whole body of the LC done :jumpyay Now just the border. After I go bake those cookies now that they've chilled :D

Dusti ~ so glad you had a great time on your trip! When do the girls start school? Public school started today in our area.

MN public schools always start on the Tuesday after Labor Day. We have the girls enrolled in a parochial school, and the Board of Directors decided to start on Aug. 31 (next Monday) this year. For the first time, the students will enjoy a Spring Break in April, so it feels well-worth starting a little early to give them a break before the end-of-the-year busy-ness. Tonight is the Open House/Pot Luck Supper, and the girls are really looking forward to checking out their new classrooms, finding their coat hooks, and organizing their cubbies with new school supplies. Both of the new teachers are fantastic, and it seems as though this is going to be a really great year for everyone :clap

I have been working on skirts for the girls to wear during the first week of school. They went shopping with Gramma a week, or so, ago to pick out new outfits for the first day of school, but I wanted them to have crocheted skirts, too. Youngest's is finished, and it fit on the first try :yay I am making a jumper for the oldest, and I only have the straps and flower-shaped buttons left to make. I ought to make it. "I think I can. I think I can." :)

 

Mary & Cara ~ Your 100+ degree days sound a little steamy. More summer-like than what we have, but I can understand how tough it is to have a whole 'ghan spread over your lap as your border it these days.

 

Erin ~ Hope the Dr. visit is helpful, and that you are soon feeling better.

 

Nicole ~ Glad you are doing well ;) I peeked over at the comfortghan you assembled, and I have to tell you that I think you did a fantastic job! It will be much appreciated by your friends :hug

 

Ohhhh, yarn sales and free shipping and JoAnn's... I think I am going to have to check my WIM list and pay the website a visit :devil

 

Catch you all, later :manyheart

I am starting to feel a little better, and my bod is already reacting to the meds.

i thought about using the free shipping coupon but there is also a 10% off your order code on the front page, saved more that way and all the yarn I got was already on sale! Im pleased, and I used MY own money so the hubby cant yell at me for it (he wants me to slow the yarn fixation til I use some stash) :hook

I need to win at the bingo tomorrow so I can get in on this yarn sale :yes I'm actually getting low. :scared Of course, BD looks at it and doesn't see that I'm low. Men :rolleyes:lol

 

Its honestly an addiction for me. :lol If I go to walmart I always treat myself to 1 thing of yarn. Josh hates it I think, but he knows better than to give me **** about it right now... 1) because Im sick... 2) because he bought 2 guns within a week and is obsessed with ammo(it was his anniversary gift) 3) because he plays too much WoW for his hobby and I haven't given him crap about it. He did however say I need to look at my stash before buying. BUT then I tell him lots of the stash is still packed because my craft room isn't done :D I went and got some more from Craft Ect too....I now feel rather guilty... :lol oh wait, no I don't cause it was all on sale and I had coupon codes this time around :hook:hook:hook

 

The steroids are doing their job already and Ive only taken two for the day so far. Im still puffy but I can blink without weird sensations now. Did have to bust out the glasses though. APPARENTLY Im hypersensitve to the sun. :( how crappy is that? I was told to carry sunscreen and benadryl in my purse from now on, wear hats if Im gonna be out in it for extended time periods too. I guess I should search for a BIG hat ;)

Asking for more squares if anyone has time/intrest

You all have already been amazing with the first comfortghan that I have almost enough squares to begin joining.

My MIL was here when I received 2 packages of squares and she thought it was so cool that people are willing to do those sort of things.
