Knit Your Square To Give Your Share - Part 3

roamin_in_the_gloamin

Goodmorning, well the lights are on - but is ANYONE at home? Maytaurus, great post except for the chocolate coffee creams at the end of it- you sausage, I will be forced to go and dip the ones I made in chocolate and eat them for breakfast now.
Planning another baby blanket today using knitting machine and quite a few colours. Then I really must get on with the socks which were last weeks homework. As its snowing I will not be attempting to reach the machine lady. BUT she sent an email asking for evidence of my work over the past week - failing miserably here by the minute. Best go and get a coffee (or a chocolate) and get stuck in today.
Wishing you all a lovely day whatever you get up to may it be a happy one

Good morning!

I didn't get much time on the computer yesterday so have just spent half an hour catching up on all the posts. There is some lovely work going on at the moment I love seeing & reading about it all.

I also love thinking that when I am sat knitting or crocheting in the afternoons/evenings that you are all invariably doing the same. It's a lovely sense of community.

Lorna Big hugs & well done for finally finding a dentist.

ISOM Did you have a lovely time with Weezl & Fergus the other day?

Jean I'm drooling at the thought of you dipping sweets in choccie!

May I'd also help with the decluttering - I love doing it!

Seakay Hope the hands are soon better. My best friend has fibro so I understand where you're coming from as it were.

Blackcrow Big hugs for your Dad.

Pippa S Loving the boobs in blues!

My plans for today are to clean and do some ironing this morning then sit down with the hook this afternoon. DH is treating us to a takeaway tonight for tea so I'll have no prep to do there.

The children all finish for half term today so I'll be having a weekend of baking to prepare for the onslaught. I've also menu planned their lunches so I know they're eating something decent & not the usual crisps and biscuits if left to their own devices!

and love to everyone today xxxxx

Hi

May.... You made me smile so much with that poster of the Rottie. I've saved it. Wonderful.
Sat here with hair dye on my head at the moment. Will go and take it off in a minute.
No knitting or crochet done yesterday :-( Shame on me. Must get a move on with some today, hopefully.
Have a blessed and prosperous day today and hugs to all in need (((((hugs)))) Love you all.

morning everyone
sorry to here about your dad blackcrow, (((hugs)))
lcwilson, i remember one of my sons climbing out of his cot at 18 months old, and banging his mouth on the top piece of wood, and knocked a tooth clean out, luckily we were registered with a dentist, glad your friend found a nice dentist to help the little lad
coffee creams, might just have to pop into thortons this afternoon while i'm in town
my sons finish this lunchtime for half term too, normally i'd be out shopping stocking up, but we're going away on monday, so saved that job lol
getting kids to pack their own clothes this afternoon, in return for a meal at the local carvery, so saved another job
so todays plan, is to iron a few bits that need doing for hols, then knitting, then this afternoon trip to town, and my craft group, where i shall do more knitting. then this evening, as i've no meal to prepare, more knitting, sounds like a good plan to me :j
hugs to all that want or need one

roamin - let us see what you magic up on your machine xxx
isom - hope the babette is coming on nicely xxx

Knitting has been slow this week (naughty corner for me) - on last square of blanket but i have been doing jobs round the house (honest) need to pick up the momentum again (and re-start the spring clean that i started about a week ago)

Thank goodness its half term - DS has been happier this week towards end of week - beginning of week he was worrying so much I thought i was going to have to get him back to Drs and quick but he has had two nights really good sleep so thats good - thanks for asking ladies xxxx

Well I have one of the Nan's from school coming for a coffee shortly (she has the children most of the time and she and I started talking its nice to have someone to chat to - but I never seem to be friends with people my own age always older - ive looked out some wool for her GD who is knitting for hospital - bless her

Hope you all have a pleasant day - sun is not shining today (boooo) - hugs to all xxxx

Will you be wanting things made for Easter this year?
If you remember, I sent some things last year & they went missing in the post ......
Again,....... has anyone found out where all the missing post goes, it can’t just vanish can it?
Another grrrrrrrrrr! subject!!

i have heard they are doing another easter fair so ill be knitting for them again if you could spare a couple of things suitable for a craft stall it would be really apprechiated. I'm really soory your hard work and kind donation went missing in the post last time, i never heard a thing so i really dont know where it ended up.

Quote F1widow

mrs m - oh snap - Ive just created a greek costume for the "Greek Olympics" tommorow (only trouble is when I looked it up on internet many greeks wore nothing but oil :D imagine the Heads look if DS came in true greek dress - oh arnt i wicked .......) - so mine was white sheet for tabbard - gold large chain belt (charity shop!) - and headband - complete with greek patterns round bottom of tabbard

quote roaming in the glaoming

Mrs Moneypenny - could you just sprinkle some talc onto some trousers and a shirt - in the hope that you could wash it all off after? Just a thought, rather than cut up good clothes.

i managed to get the costume done this morning luckily a friend has a son a year older than mine and she gave me all his uniform when he left, i ripped and cut a pair of trousers a school shirt and a navy zip-up top (they were well worn so were the emergency spare set) so hes a zombie school boy- the shirt has a mix of red hair mousse and black food colouring splattered over the front ad ive spiked his hair up. The school are doing the face paint this afternoon DS said something about the dance being videoed and put on the internet (i think he means the school web page). i laughed at the throught of your son arriving in a genuine greek costume - the heads face would have been a picture
i'm glad to hear your DS is hapeir and sleeping better
