Some good clean fun?!

[cristopher2k]

Hiya friends!

Late post for me, had to stay for a training. But happy to report that all is well and that I had a Great Day!

Joanne-I am working on granny squares...I should be working on x-mas gifts but I have been in the mood for grannies. What's a gal to do?

Marisa-your weekend trip to the fair sounds like soo much fun! :manyheartDo you buy any of the craft items?

Beth-I can't wait to see your squares! I love the color Claret! A few years back I made a ripple ghan and just adore it! I remember because it took me forever to find the yarn and then they ran out of it here at our small store before I was finished...I had to wait and wait. Of course I should have ordered it from the net...but never thought about it. Silly huh?

Sarah-I hope that Keith's b-day is fantastic! I have worn glasses/contacts since I was 6, my daughter started at the same age. I prefer glasses now that I am older, actually am wearing them all the time now, I wore contacts for almost 20 years. Had to give my eyes a break. Great buy on the hooks? I love Boye hooks too!

going to relax as the kiddos finished homework before I got home! what a treat! hugs n squishes!!!

[cristopher2k]

Vicki-great bowling scores! Good for you! Glad that you were able to get away from the stress! hugs n squishes!!!

Gooooooooood Morning!

 

I'm pretending to be awake. Am I fooling you?

[cristopher2k]

Good Morning friends!

Beth-hugs right back atcha!

 

Sarah-what's on the agenda for today?

 

gotta run...have a wonderful day everyone! Hugs n squishes!

[a_stitchintime]

Good morning, friends!

 

I just got back from dropping off the 'ghan. that mom was so surprised! she will bring it to her friend later today when she goes to visit her.

 

I also heard from my friend... there are no openings at her work, so the job thang is still a no-go. I just wasnt' meant to be there, that's all. I will keep looking, and the right thing will present itself. I will remain optimistic about it all.

 

Today I need to go grocery shopping, and do a couple of loads of laundry. I do not want to fall behind again on that! Also on my agenda are the 1st squares of the mystery CAL, and to get back to my Ashlar sweater.

 

Joanne - I adore that scarf pattern! It's really tempting to try out, but I gotta get a couple of things done first. Here's hoping that your day at work is wonderful and productive!

 

Sarah - good luck with Keith's appt's and birthday party preparations! Nice deals on those hooks!

 

Marisa - so glad to read that you are starting to feel better:hug sorry for playing Hide and Seek yesterday!

 

Beth - Your trip to the fair sounds like so much fun! Did you remember your camera batteries while at the store yesterday? ...btw, you totally tricked me with your post this morning! I thought you were bright eyed and bushy tailed!

 

LeeAnn - grannies are a nice change of pace. Are they for a ghan? what colors are you using? i hope you have a wonderful day, friend!

 

Vicki - WTG on your bowling scores the other night! It is so very nice to see your green posts again! We missed you! don't forget to every day to bust that stress! I hope things start to go a lot more smoothly soon!

 

Speaking of missing you.... Mary and Shannon... We really do!!!

 

Colleen - thinking of you and hoping that you and your (and DH) are having the most Magical Day!

 

Stacy - how are you all doing? what colors will you use for the Ashlar for your mom?

 

I gotta run along for now, but before I go... here are a bunch of :hug:hug:hug:hug:hug:hug take some and share 'em around!

[marpan79]

Good morning everyone

 

I'm enjoying my coffee and bfast

 

Sarah - I went a different way home yesterday, but it looked like they finished the paving

 

Joanne - Another day in paradise....Oooo you could make a song out of that

 

Beth - You surely had me fooled!!!!!

 

LeeAnn - Hope your day goes well and ends with some 'me' time

[marpan79]

Good morning LeaAnne, have a good day.

 

Did I win since you forfeited and came out of hiding

:heehee... ummmm YUP!

 

I hope you have an awesome day, too!

[imanurse55]

Hi everyone- Very busy day in "paradise" today- I didn't get home till about 5:45- and was at work at 7AM- so I'm beat!! And still have 2 more days to go. Fingers/toes still crossed that we don't have to work Sunday too!!!!

 

LeaAnne- You are right about the job- the right one will come along that is meant to be.

 

Marisa and LeeAnn- hope you both had a nice relaxing day at work today.

 

Colleen, Beth, Mary, Shannon, Stacy, Vicki, Sarah- Hugs to you all!!!:hug:hug:hug:hug:hug:hug

 

I got a lovely letter from my middle DD today and in it she said "You are too blessed to be stressed".. I'm going to remember that-

 

Hope you all have a great evening- I plan to work some more on my scarf and square for a friend and DE-STRESS!!!

[cristopher2k]

Evening all!

 

Joanne-I so agree with your dd, stress is no fun! On a happier note, are your grannies for something in particular?

 

LeaAnne-so sorry that the job did not work out, something will come along, I am absolutely sure! The yarn I am using is RH Soft Yellow, Light blue, Deft Blue and French Country. I am making the squares and then crocheting a little flower using the French Country in the middle. I am thinking of connecting them in Soft white, not sure why I am making this ghan, it's a just because.

Marisa-glad they are finishing construction your way! Can you send them over here?

Beth-18 was such a learning age, how fun tho!

Shannon, Sarah, Stacy, Vicki and Mary-hoping that you all had a great day!

Today was the same ol' same ol' I sound like a broken record. Nothing exciting to report here. We are going to get ready for winter this weekend...that's just dreadful! The weather has taken a turn, it is chilly during the day and oh so cold at night...any way we can prolong winter? :-)))

back to cooking...we are actually waiting for dh to get home so that we can eat. BBL!

[imanurse55]

Those are the best kind- a just because- you like to crochet!

 

I'm not making granny squares- one of the ladies on another CAL who I have met up with is making a comfortghan for a friend who just underwent surgery for cancer. The squares are from Happy Yellow House- but don't you worry, I'll be going back to grannies soon! But I also have the Bernat Mystery CAL and those will be different squares. And I'm making scarves for gifts. So little time- so I'd better get off of here and get hooking!

[marpan79]

Good evening ladies

 

I see that now schools back it gets busier in here during the morning and not soo much later

 

LeaAnne - Hope you had a wonderful day

 

Joanne - So nice getting that letter from your DD, and just in the middle of your long stretch at work....good timing on her part (even if it happened by coincidence )

 

LeeAnn - What's for dinner tonight? I think I can smell it, but I want to see if I'm right

[cristopher2k]

Hello hello and howdy!

Marisa-had to giggle at your post! I made pork chops, noodles with alfredo sauce, buttered toast, and fresh sliced pears with caramel sauce and coffee to drink...yummmy! I tell ya, the way to dh's heart is thru his stomach! best part, I was able to crochet! Yippeee skippy! You are right, once school starts, it is super busy! I think we have finally gotten into the swing of things, but it was tough.

I have 18 grannies so far, I think this weekend I will get to the flowers and start connecting. I still have to figure out how many squares I will need.

to shower with myself!!!! Have a great night and sweet dreams!

hugs n squishes!

[imanurse55]

Good morning and Happy Friday to all!!!! To all of you are actually going to HAVE a weekend- enjoy your TGIF!!! I can't get all excited about Friday this week, since I still have to work Saturday- please keep fingers/toes crossed that I get Sunday off!!!!

[imanurse55]

OH, and my Bernat yarn came for the Mystery CAL, but I'm too tired to even get all exited about it- I AM glad it came- and I'm looking forward to Sunday when I am planning to work on the squares!

[Vicki loves yarn]

Hi besties! I am SOOOO tired! I was watching the Yankees losing to the Red Sox and I was falling asleep in my magic chair. Yes, the chair's magic powers were at it again and all before 7! I had to get up thought. DD was going to movie night at TKD! And I have a TON of paper work that I have to get completed this weekend! Way too many annuals this week. 6 of them in the next five days including the first on Monday morning bright and early at 7 a.m.!!!! YIKES!!!!!

Anyway, I hope everyone had a great day today. I need to go back and read what everyone has been up to. I haven't even had time for that lately! I miss all my besties so much and I need to catch up with you all. I will talk to you all soon. Have a great night all!

[Colleenka]

Chatty Besties! I'm home!

 

My gosh we are a chatty group. I don't think I read every word but tried to catch up best I could. Loved the pics!!!

 

Marisa - Love the scarf and hat! Soup sounded good too.

 

LeeAnn - Your baby hats and the square looked great! Good job making 8 hats! Glad you are getting into the swing of things.

 

LeaAnne - That lapghan turned out beautifully! Too bad the job fell through, but that is just what you need to do. Put the word out there.

 

Joanne - I hope you have a good day at work. Are you in the middle of a 12 day work week? Have fun with your new yarn! What colours did you get? It's Bernat Softee Chunky right? I love that yarn

 

Beth - How are you feeling? I saw your home town on the satelite map as we flew nearby and waved. Did you see me? How is Amanda's dance going? Happy birthday to your oldest invention! 18...he's all grown up. Sounds like he's picked a nice girl!!!

 

Vicki - :hug:hug I hope you get lots of crochet therapy in and take care of yourself.

 

Stacy - I hope you get into the swing of things too. How is Eva feeling? My gosh it's been going around with your girls lately. What colours are you going to use for your mom's cardi? Is it still cooler out there?

 

Sarah - I hope you get Keith's vision test sorted out. That reminds me to make an appointment for DD's annual vision test. I don't have any concerns, but they are entitled to one here every year until they turn 18 so I'm going to do it!

 

Mary - How are you? Haven't seen many red posts. Are you feeling better? Are your hooks flying?

 

Shannon - Sure do miss your posts.

 

OK, enough about all of you! I'm just kidding. We had a FANTASTIC trip! We had smooth traveling, perfect weather (maybe a bit too hot...but no rain:tup), and we had so much fun and relaxation! It was just perfect! DD had a great time. And yes, LeaAnne, we met Tink! Had so much fun!!! I love that place and wish we could go back every year.

 

So, I hope everyone's weekend is off to a good start. I've got laundry to do and will have to adjust to having to cook again. It is so nice to not have to cook. :hug to everyone!

[cristopher2k]
