Some good clean fun?!

[solaceinmusic]

Vicki and Sarah- I just read that TS Hermaine hit your part of the state. Just sending some warm thoughts to you- and hope that all is well.

 

Hermine hit south of us last night. But that means we get lots of rain cause of being on the dirty side of the storm. It rained here off and on (more on) yesterday and it's been raining non-stop since late last night/early this morning. The yard is starting to look like a pond again like it did after Alex. We're in the train of rain that Hermine is pulling off the gulf so it's not likely to stop soon.

[solaceinmusic]

Good morning!

 

Sarah- Did you get to rest yesterday? I hadn't heard about Tropical Storm Hermine- guess I was paying too much attention to what Hurricane Earl was going to do- that he didn't

 

That's because it blew up in the Gulf off of Mexico and became a TS in about a day... So not suprised you didn't hear about it =0)

[solaceinmusic]

Will try and respond to everyone later today. Need to go do dishes...

[a_stitchintime]

, friends!

 

Just dropping some quick :hug:hug:hug and let you know I am thinking of you... it's crunch time around here, and I miss you all!

 

Have a wonderful day!

MYSTERY WIP REVEALED!!!

 

Looks like Colleen and I were on the same wavelength for WIP Week!!! I put my squares together- both from here and others I received from other Villers! I bordered mine in black and then whip-stitched them together.

 

I love it and it reminds me of the great friendships that have been formed here at the Ville. :manyheart

 

I was hoping to do the same thing as Colleen and use the pattern for the Sunflower square as LeaAnne's, but mine didn't come out good and it wouldn't do her justice to have it on my ghan!

 

I didn't put a border on it yet because if I receive any more squares I'm going to keep adding to it. And it leaves room for a sunflower square too!

 

I will think of all my Crochet friends each and every time I use it and will feel your hugs!!!

[cristopher2k]

Hello hello!

Busy day! So glad that I am home and will soon be chilaxing. My little girl gave me a run for my money. another little gal started on Thursday last week, she has been attached to my hip as well. She calls me "mom" kinda freaks me out, but I still give her lots of hugs and squishes.

Joanne-I just adore your square ghan! Very nice! what a great idea!

Marisa-how was your day? did you give the doc his crockpot? I love mine! I use it in the winter months, it's a great way to cook meals!

LeaAnn-:hughope it calms down soon.

Colleen-hope you were able to relax after doing your errands.

Beth-so glad that you love math! I am attempting to help dear son..but we are going to have to wait until dh gets home, I am lost.

bbl! Gotta help with homework!

[a_stitchintime]

Hi, just a quick stop to catch up on everyone.

 

Joanne,love your ghan! I love that you didn't edge it, so you can continue to add to it. What a lovely thought.

 

LeaAnne, I'd love to come by and work on Algebra with your dd. Algebra is so much fun! Will you come to my house and clean? It'd be a fair trade!

 

Marisa, I hope your back is feeling OK. How's the cardigan coming? Can't wait to see pics!

 

LeaAnn, can't wait to see your pics of the finished project!

 

Sarah, thinking of you. I hope everyone is healthy at your house.

Mary, is it cooler now?

 

Shannon, thinking of you. I hope you are feeling better.

Vicki and Sarah- Hope you are weathering the storm ok!

 

Dinner is just about done!

 

Have a good night!!!

[Colleenka]

everyone!

 

DD's first day of school went well I thought when I picked her up that we were in for some trouble, because the first thing she told me was that she didn't like her teacher and didn't like school , but one drink of juice and one cookie later and she was singing a different toon So, for next day.

 

LeaAnne - to all your chickens on their first day at chicken school tomorrow. Special :hugs for Jaime and her first day of high school. Was this Pete's first soccer practice? How does he like it? Enjoy your bucket list tomorrow.

 

Joanne - Hope the first day back to work was a good one.

 

Beth - How are your inventions adjusting to school work again?

 

Marisa - How did your slowcooker meals go over at work? I made the mac and cheese today for our supper. It was good.

 

Shannon, Vicki, Stacy, Mary, LeeAnn and Sarah (an anyone I missed) Have a great day!

[_Stacy_]

Hey friends!!!

 

I feel like it's been forever! LoL Well, considering how often I used to check in, it has been a while. School is going well, got my first assignment for the geography class and all we have to do is color and label a map of CA. Easy, peasy.

Yesterday, Eva went into school like a champ! She sat down at a table and started to play right away, didn't even notice me leaving. Today, as soon as we entered the class, she ran over and hugged one of the teachers! :clap:cheer Such a good sign. The main teacher told me today they are all just taken with her but that she needs some help opening up. I had to . I told the teacher she is quite the motormouth, which they will find out once she gets accustomed to the classroom.

My other two go back on Monday. This weekend I need to finish uniform shopping, but other than that, we are ready! I really hope Mia likes kinder- I ran into her old bestie's mom the other day, and she didn't seem too keen on getting the girls together. Mia keeps asking about her, so I am that she makes some new friends pretty quickly.

I have been working on some swap stuff, so technically I am working on WIP's. I really need to work on that snowflake afghan and get all of the snowflakes worked up the correct way.

 

Well, I better get scooting- dinner is done but I will read through what everyone is up to, and be back later! :hug:hug:hug:hug:hug:hug

[_Stacy_]

Ooooh Joanne, I love, love, love your 'ghan!!! :cheer:cheer

I, too, am working on mine- planning to use the sunflower square for LeaAnne's square, too! GMTA, I guess!

[marpan79]

Hello everyone

 

Sounds like all is going pretty well and the kids are getting into the groove with school

 

Thanks to all of you checking up on my back Well, when I took the xrays over yesterday and they were normal, he gave me a few rehab exercises to work on at home here, so I already started them and we'll see how it goes. Today wasn't too bad, didn't even take any pain meds But near the end of the day I adjusted one of the guys who's kinds tough to get and I felt it, but still wasn't bad enough for meds When I get off of here I'm going to do the exercises again before I start on the edging of my cardigan Otherwise, you know how the time flies once I pick up that hook

 

LeaAnne - for being ready for school and hopefully by now, you've made it to round 60

 

Colleen - The meals went over great at work and we'll definitely have enough for tomorrow too and possibly friday (depending how hungry we all are tomorrow)

 

Stacy - Glad school is going well and your geography homework is easy peasy so far Eva sounds like me, I tend to be kinda shy until I get to know people and then I open up and there's no stopping me

[imanurse55]

Ooooh Joanne, I love, love, love your 'ghan!!! :cheer:cheer

I, too, am working on mine- planning to use the sunflower square for LeaAnne's square, too! GMTA, I guess!

Thanks Stacy!! I just hope I can get the sunflower square done right- or else I may need someone (hint, hint, LeaAnne or one of my friends ) to make it for me so I can add it to the ghan!

 

Glad to hear that school is going well and that Eva is settling in nicely:yes. Love your homework assignment (are you sure you are going to college?)

 

Fingers crossed that Mia makes friends quickly in her kindergarten. Hang in there for the last few days of craziness and then you'll be able to settle into a schedule once Mia and Isabella are in school. Is your Dad still visiting? When does roomie come home!

[imanurse55]

Colleen-

Glad to hear that DD had a good first day of school!!!! Funny how a cookie and juice can make the world right!!!!

 

Marisa- Glad that you haven't had to take pain meds- and hope that the rehab exercises help your back. Do you go back to the doc now that Xrays are neg? Can't wait to see that beautiful cardigan!!!!!

 

Time for me to work on my RR WIP

 

Have a good night all!!!

Thanks Joanne, I went yesterday morning and brought the disc for him to check them out and that was when I got the exercises. So, we'll go with this for a while to see if it will work and then I'll go see him again. When, will depend on how I'm making out with the exercises

 

Have fun with your RR

[Colleenka]

Stacy - Glad to hear school is going well and that Eva is settling in just fine!

 

Joanne - Enjoy your RR.

 

Marisa - Glad you got some exercises to do and for no pain meds.
