Another blog about knitting......and crocheting too!
This is the wonderful Spring Exchange that I received from Elaine.
Two beautiful dishcloths-butterfly & tulip, the best stitch markers, Sugar & Cream, Peanut M&M’s, and some peppermint bark from her TLC Kakes ‘N’ Kandy store. These are all my favorite things!!
I could go on and on how I LOVE everything!!!
Thanks so much Elaine!!!
You Are a Chocolate Cake

Fun, comforting, and friendly.
You are a true classic, and while you're not super cutting edge, you're high quality.
People love your company - and have even been known to get addicted to you.
|
You see life as possibility to form deep connections with a few people.
Relationships are the center of your world, and you always take time to bond with those you love.
You are caring and giving. You enjoy helping those you love.
And when it comes to romantic love, you feel passionately ... even in a very long term relationship.

With all the red dishcloths I've been making this month, I put together this little Valentine basket for my mom. The Dollar Store had the little heart-shaped baskets added the dish soap, cookies, kisses and a rose. I think she really liked it.
Jean,
doxietrek, was looking for a moderator to assist her with the
Dishcloths R Us group on Ravelry....pm'd her and bam....just call me a
moderator.
With my goal of making 100 dishcloths this year, I thought it would be fun to help out with a group. I pledge to check on the group daily, to help whenever possible, to instill the love of making dishcloths upon everyone, to maintain peace and order, etc,etc,etc.
The Group Moto:
A group for dishcloths and nothing but dishcloths. Thanks Jean for entrusting this honor upon me!
We were looking at getting Sassy spayed at our Vet Clinic. A guy in my office wife works at the Humane Society and she assured me that it is done by a great vet and that she does the same procedure that she would at the clinic. The clinic would have costs between $250-300 while the shelter only charges $73 and that includes micro chipping.
I dropped her off early yesterday morning at the shelter. Last night a friend called and told me that
Sassy was on our local news (news video). When I picked her up this morning she was all excited and looked great. I told the lady there that I saw Sassy on the news and she said she was wondering what that email was about wondering if the Westie was still available.
I took off work today so that I could watch her. Sassy is doing great and hasn't messed with her stitches at all. We are glad that she is home....the house seemed empty last night without her. Sassy is our little star.
A few years back I tried my hand at a few doilies and completed a couple small ones. I bought several doily books tried a more complicated one and it sits waiting to be finished.
When I frequented Crochetville I fell in love with Kathryn A. White's doily patterns. Then a couple weeks ago I heard her on
Get Loopy (yes, yet another podcast that I listen too). Kathryn is very talented and you can check out her wonderful designs at
Crochet n Beads. Anyway, Mary Beth Temple (Get Loopy) has weekly contest and I won three beautiful doily books by Kathryn A. White--
A Cavalcade of Doilies,
Irish Beaty Doilies,
Doily Threesomes.
I have a tin tub full of crochet thread that I had to dig out of my craft closet...maybe if I display it in full view, I'll actually try doilies again.
I'd like to thank Kathryn A. White and Mary Beth Temple for the exquisite doily books.
