Knit Your Square To Give Your Share 2009!

prfungi

Hi peeps!

What a yucky day - perfect for what I've been doing - went to a funeral this afternoon - a very close friend of my little brother. There was a power cut and so everything was delayed an hour (fortunately they were able to contact the family before the cortege set off). My brother was asked to do the eulogy and was very nervous about it. He sent me a draft last night - it was beautiful, had me in tears reading it. Everyone was very appreciative and I think he was pleased with his efforts, he's very shy & it was an ordeal for him.

On a lighter note, I went on to see Mum, fast asleep when I got there so being my usual cruel self I woke her up - she was quite groggy and not very communicative until I took the Jelly Babies out of my bag, then she brightened up no end,:j after that it was a lovely visit (?bribery or corruption not sure which:rotfl:).

K2Tog - got the pattern thank you. Just been on Kemps and ordered some Patons Jet, Black 'cos I wear a lot of it & it goes best with my jeans, and Red 'cos I fancy it for xmas - I like to wear something red then and I had to buy some nice grey for xmas - mens hats/scarves prezzies. So - skint again

Thats about it for now - little dog just come in from garden - sopping wet, daft thing, off to get towel an have a wrestle with her (our traditional way of drying off)

'bye for now
luv

DH was saying yesterday we need a 'back up plan' for our holiday so we have things to do if we cant get out on the beach- did he not guess i was already sorted as i dont really care whether im knitting indoors or outdoors:rotfl:. i must try and think of some stuff for youngest DS because he'll be bored whitless if he cant get out, its GOT to stop raining soon surely:mad:.

Chalky - the blanket looks amazing, well done in sewing it up :T I can see my 2 cant believe how quickly they arrived, only posted them Tuesday morning. They all match so well together, like us lot really I suppose :rotfl:

Kathy - Its not long now until you come back is it? you will sleep better then with all the running around catching up with family and friends you will be doing, and you have the new DGC to look forward to.... I think its so exciting when a new baby joins the family,:j

Kinsey - well done you have made a great start there :T:beer:
In Search of Me - awwww it sounds as though things are a bit rough for you at the mo here have one of these (((hugs))) and remember, you have friends here, so any time you feel the need come and have chat x

I finished the mans ribbed hat off last night, next time I will use bigger pins as the twisted rib was a bit tight ....looks a bit small too.....I think Lou will have to find a man with a little head, hmmmm yes well I'll say no more about that :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

So far today its been sun, rain, sun cant believe how bad its been.
Some friends at their caravan in Paignton rang yesterday and said if it rains again today they are coming back.
I'm glad we decided not to go down with them to our van, OH wanted to get on with the decorating :T:T :T can you tell I'm pleased

Have good days all and I hope the sun shines where you are

Good morning everyone.

Mrs Moneypenny - quite the opposite! I woke up at around 4am and didn't dare go back to sleep because DH had to leave at 7am! I did some knitting and surfed a bit then, when he left, I actually got on with the accounts I've been sweating over. I didn't realise the time!

Pippa - yes, I shall be glad when we are on the boat. I'm starting to jump every time the phone goes! I can't wait to come back, see and hug all the family and friends, meet the new little one, shop in my beloved Co-op (with my £45 divi payout!), drive on the left-hand side of the road without getting funny looks, and spend some time in my favourite wool shop! My only concern is that I really should be more organised this end in case we get an early call, so, for the next few days, I shall be sorting out clothes and buying pressies for the grandchildren, and so on. I think once I've made a start on that, I shall feel - and sleep - easier!

Kinsey - you have made a fantastic start! I will add your items to the last update a bit later on this morning. I have to pop out soon and will do it when I get back. Well done on such a good start!

Elaine - hope to hear from you when you are ready. Lots of (((hugs))) to you - gentle ones.

Maytaurus - I hope you are well today.

Morning all,

It's stopped raining here at mo but the clouds are not looking good. Our week away last year was a complete washout, so I'm hoping it'll be better this year when we go away.

Elaine, so nice to see you back, we have missed you very much. (((hugs for you)))

In search of me, (((hugs for you too.))) well done with the muffin, can't wait to see the photo.

Chalky, Isn't it lovely to see all our squares together, thank you for all the sewing up and the photo's.

Hope everyone else is well.x

Morning everyone.:j
Grand children due in a couple of hours so making the most of the quiet.
Hope the weather is fairly good as there are so many lovely things around here to see and do if the rain keeps off.Grannie slipping in the mud isn't one of them:eek:.

MIOLIERE.
please don't add any blankets to my total,as they are still in the cupboard waiting to be wrapped up.
MAYTAURUS.
Your posts are absolutly brilliant,really make my day with all the lovely pictures.Hope you are keeping well.
ELAINE.
Good to see you back.Take good care of yourself.

I think I've found the culprit as far as my aches are concerned.Think it could be grapes:mad:.Was being ever so good giving up sweets and choccy and eating "healthy" stuff.Haven't had any grapes for nearly a week and things seem better.
Going to try and sew another blanket together for preemies,

ilovetea x
