Some good clean fun?!

Hi Joanne! Yes, she's asleep. We haven't done anything else to the room because the carpet comes.....drum roll please.....Thursday!!!!

[miss scarlet]

WOW what a room. I don't think I have that much yarn yet.

[_Stacy_]

I pineapples! Can't wait to see what you decide to make with them.

That must feel fantastic to be in the home stretch now.

Yet

Hi Shannon

Did you hear Colleen singing to Janna?

[irishrose]

Colleen- It's beige. Very pretty. She did tell me that she had to make a pillowcase out of material first. Then put the pineapple pillowcase over it.

 

Speaking of pineapples--I am addicted to them right now! The fruit-type, not the yarn-type.

[irishrose]

Hi Mary! No, I must have missed it. What were you singing, Colleen? O Christmas Tree?

[_Stacy_]

Shannon, how exciting! Maybe you answered this already but, is the carpet pink too?

 

Stacy- did your Dad get home safe and sound? And how is FIL feeling after running the marathon?

 

Yes, he called this morning to say he arrived safely. He took a red-eye and got home at about 8 a.m. EST.

FIL is fine. I am just amazed by him. 65 and running a marathon- and this was his 12th or 13th! I was actually thinking of starting to train and maybe run with him next year. I'm not a huge fan of running, though.

[Colleenka]

Is the pillow case beige too?

[miss scarlet]

Shhhhhhhhhhhh Colleen don't tell Dh. I have yarn stashed at Mom's house.

I love pineapples- the symbol of hospitality! I have a wooden one in my kitchen- it used to hang in my mom's kitchen- it was from Williamsburg VA (Beth's neck of the woods) I love it! My lamps in the family room are pineapple- they are Lenox lamps we got at Home Goods for 39.00 a piece- that was such a bargain!

[irishrose]

Mary, your secret cracked me up! I won't tell!

 

Hey there Stacy! The carpet is beige, with darker flecks in it....I think. I haven't seen it since we ordered it, which was about a week after I joined this group!

[Colleenka]

Shhhhhhhhhhhh Colleen don't tell Dh. I have yarn stashed at Mom's house.

 

Don't worry Mary, I don't type THAT loudly, he'll never hear it from me

 

I've never heard that about pineapples....the hospitality thing. DD complains that they make her fingers sting

[irishrose]

Lenox lamps for $39!! Wow!

[Colleenka]

Hi Mary! No, I must have missed it. What were you singing, Colleen? O Christmas Tree?

 

No, it was my own yarny version of "Hush Little Janna"

[imanurse55]

My yarn made it out of the car trunk and I think that is why DH decided I needed some drawers to put it in. (Of course he didn't see the tote I filled and put out in the garage- it is in front of where I park my car ---he has no idea that is there!

 

I am not a fan of running either- too hard on the knees- but I do like fast walking- and riding a bicycle. Maybe you could join DH on abicycle next year to give FIL snacks/water and cheer him on?

 

Mary- I'm with you- I don't have that much yarn......yet:lol

[irishrose]

Stacy, was Mia on at her birthday party? Did you make the strawberry shortcake?

[irishrose]

People who run in marathons are amazing! I don't run, ever since a boy named Rashad told me I run like a duck in 3rd grade.

[_Stacy_]

I had no idea they were the symbol of hospitality. They sure are yummy!

 

Shannon, the carpet sounds pretty.

[Colleenka]

Stacy, I had to laugh about your Barbie warehouse comment. I think we have the Canada warehouse location at our house. Last we counted we were at 16 Barbies, or something like that. Crazy!

[miss scarlet]

I have been using quite a bit of my yarn up. Making towel toppers, sweaters, afghans and now baby sets.

[imanurse55]

Colleen- google Pineapple sign of hospitality and you'll find a couple of articles about it- kind of interesting. My mom had taught me about it. She always said you should have some pineapply things in the house as a sign of welcome. I even bought a garden flag with a "welcome" and picture of a pineapple!

[irishrose]

Careful girls! If too many Kens come calling, the neighbors might think you're running a brothel!

[miss scarlet]

Thats great Stacy that you FIL still runs at his age. He must be in great shape.
