Hi park posters.
The eBay soapbox will no longer be a public board. I hope you don’t mind if we start a home thread from the box here. We will talk about “whatever”. We will also talk about ebay related subjects. Come join the fun.
Hey you guys! The birthday is the 8th. This coming Monday.
Thanks for the early congrats, though. ❤
Fredi, that reminds me of Space Invaders for some reason. Neat job!
Well, I started work on a sleeping mat out of plarn a few days ago. It'll be a while on that.
Already used up the plarn and have to wait till I get more plastic bags to do anything else.
I bet I've used to close to 100 bags already. The mat is not quite 3 ft. wide and about a foot long.
Pattern said a 6 ft. mat takes from 500 to 700 plastic shopping bags.
Hope everyone has had a good day so far.
Heron, could you be talking about microfleece? It's kind of like velvet, but more plush and not stiff like velvet.
Nicer than velvet really.
Oh yea, microfleece, never thought about it. It's very nice and warm as well!
Here's the purple larksfoot afghan! I'm going to do 6 rows each of the light and dark purple then add in a couple of white rows and repeat until it's long enough, lol, I believe I'll do the border in either the dark purple or the white, not sure yet!
Weaving in the ends on a baby afghan.
The latest one with the purple yarn is very nice, Fredi.
Someone is going to be very happy.
Heron, that blanket of yours will be very nice on those chilly mornings.
Well, have to get some groceries. Hope everyone has a nice weekend!
Sunday afternoon here.
So far 2024 - wet every day - mornings ok - stormy afternoons.
Love looking at the crafts you guys are doing - sheesh - my ability in crochet & knitting - about on par with my cooking. lol
It's actually been heaven - the construction work next door is on holiday - till the 18th I think - so have been out in the garden without the thump thump thump - of their mindless radio.
So far listed is :
Dirt & Dust - compensated.
Internet provider taken out for a month - no internet - no entertainment - no landline - compensated somewhat.
Dead 25 year old rare tree - Magnolia Champaca - still waiting their arborist's report - they can pay for cutting it down - and compensate for the loss.
Bob cat into common brick wall - still to be rectified - lol.
Just about over them - high handed a$$$$holes.
Have depleted the house of tea bags & superglue - don't wear my nails too long - but the gardening sure knocked them around - broken too far down to just file.
All in all - a happy vegemite here - haven't buried anyone in the backyard - yet.
Hoping you are all warm & safe.
Cheers Wine - O - Clock here.
Cathy, that's the most hated part of crocheting, for me. Weaving in the ends. I'm currently using a big needle and sewing them in as I go. If I don't do it as I go, they may never get done! HAHA
Heron, you might wanna skip this next part...
We're currently under a Winter Weather Advisory as we might get up to 3 inches of snow (I just rolled my eyes. 3 inches ain't nothing...). Next week however...oh boy...Satuarday's high is going to be 20°F and the low is 3°. It gets worse from there...the coldest day will be Monday Jan 15 with a forecast high of 7° and forecast low of -2° (yep that's negative 2). Ya'll I might be a popsicle before this is over with. I'd much rather have the icky snow than those cold temps!
Dom, that's a high of -13° for you and a low of -18°.
Lordy Dom, that construction sounds like a big pain in the bum, when you list it all out like that! At least you're getting a break until the 18th! HAHA
Today, it's cloudy and chilly and the 'storm' might start this afternoon. I'm curious to see how much snow we actually get! HAHA I'm not worried about it, both Ed and Silver Bullet have 4 wheel drive and I'll get around just fine! HAHA
Turned 65 today. Rain supposed to start coming in later this evening.
Schools in town where Husband and Son work are closed tomorrow, and they won't have to come to work. Thank the Lord.
Considering fairly recent history, Eufala might want to consider only necessary jobs report in.
Dom, got to be nice not having to hear that racket for a bit. Sorry you can't putter around in the yard because of the rain.
Fredi, my least favorite part of crocheting too. Got an email from a quilt store in town this morning giving me a 20% discount for my birthday.
May stop by there on my way to the grocery store.
I'm gonna pick up a pizza, and salad and a cake. 🥰
Lol, maybe there'll be some left to eat in the storm pod tomorrow, 'cause it looks like--if things follow through the way it appears to be headed-we'll end up there in the morning.
Hope everybody has a good day.
