Aw, I miss going to the dollar tree. That was one of the last stores I've been in back in May/June. Tried two stores, but both had associates not following the mask mandates. I was so excited to get some cute bowls/pots/cups for my plants, but ended leaving without purchasing to stay safe once I noticed the associates.might go shopping at the dollar tree today .. i like to dress up my pen pal letters with cute stickers and use stationary that goes with that holiday stickers ( sometimes ) ...
This is one of my faves!!Disney+ finally got The Muppet Show so I've been watching that lately. I love me some Muppets. The first episode was in 1976; it's older than I am! It's aged remarkably well though.
How wonderful! I found a Grandfather and a slew of new relatives through DNA testing. It’s great experience to connect with them.Newfound family seems to be a theme for us lately. John has a new uncle. Apparently John's grandpa got a women pregnant and she gave the baby up for adoption and he decided to find his birth family. He seems very nice and he wants to set up a family reunion thing this summer so he can meet everyone face to face - covid permitting. He and his husband just sent the kids each a new outfit. They're a little big - I guess Macy's clothes run big; we don't have one around here so we didn't know - but they'll grow into them. Honestly, I prefer the kids' clothes to start out a bit big because they grow so darn fast!
Aislyn has a new outfit, too, but she's not here to model it.

That's gorgeous! It looks sooo cozy!Well, after working on it (off and on) for two years, I finally finished my afghan.
Width: 100 stitches = 44 inches.
Length: 105 rows = 5 ft.
Thickness: ~1cm.
Yarn: Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn, 5 "Big Balls" (No, I didn't pay $11/ball; I got them from Joann on sale), color "Peachy."
Crochet hook: Size L (8mm) bamboo ChiaoGoo Tunisian hook (Note: "Tunisian" refers to the type of hook/type of crochet stitch, not the country; "ChiaoGoo" is the brand name).
Pattern: Tunisian Honeycomb stitch:
And here it is:

Those ridges are the back side of the afghan.
This yarn is a very soft chenille, and because the stitch creates a fairly solid fabric this makes an incredibly warm, cozy blanket.

It is. A couple weeks ago the weather was cold enough that our furnace couldn't keep up with it. I couldn't bear to go to the kitchen to prepare food, it was so cold. I spent the entire day huddled under the afghan (still incomplete, with the crochet hook in the afghan, and the bead on the end carefully tucked in so Jasmine couldn't get at it). Ventured out just enough to feed Jasmine, occasionally visit the bathroom, and occasionally get a hot drink.That's gorgeous! It looks sooo cozy!
Mia6 - i was there from 830am until noon tuesday ... its not something that i like doing but i was in severe pain and couldnt deal with it any longerhow long were you there?
I hope you're felling betterMia6 - i was there from 830am until noon tuesday ... its not something that i like doing but i was in severe pain and couldnt deal with it any longer
WoW! It does look incredibly soft! So glad you were able to enjoy it and now your hubby will experience the bliss as well. I had similar thinking as susanm9006 to start a new blanket to keep for yourself.This yarn is a very soft chenille, and because the stitch creates a fairly solid fabric this makes an incredibly warm, cozy blanket.
I'm glad you went to get treatment. I've never stayed at a hospital like that, but can imagine it is not very fun. How are you doing now?Mia6 - i was there from 830am until noon tuesday ... its not something that i like doing but i was in severe pain and couldnt deal with it any longer
Wowza! That is cheap! Hope your foot feels better soon. That's cute your crush checked in with you.Finally went and got an xray yesterday (it's so cheap here to get a quick xray and consult, only about $10 + $2-3 for 4 days worth of anti-inflammatory pills was in and out in 15 min!) but there was nothing wrong bone-wise.
How wonderful! Great time of year to be able to hear the birds again, too. I've been hearing bird songs in the mornings this week and it makes it feel like spring so much!Doing the early morning thing today, as I have an early out-of-town appointment to have my new hearing aides checked. I can tell her, they're FINE! I'm hearing birdsong for the first time in 35 or so years!
