Queen Scoot sure glad that computer is fixed.

Maw You have the greatest luck finding the yarn.

I have been extra busy with planting and repotting in the greenhouse Wow that's work But I sure am having a great time at it.

just checking through my email and someone had sent me this and thought I would share it. Maybe one of you sent it , but it's really cute.



CROCHET DOLL...

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe-box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe-box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box.

When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000. He asked her about the contents.

'When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me t hat if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.'


The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness.

Darling,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?'




'Oh,' she said, 'That's the money I made from selling the dolls.'




A Prayer
Dear Lord,
I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods;
Because Lord, if I pray for strength, I'll
beat him to death. And I don't know how to crochet. Amen



Hey ya never know what will make money Hehe

Hey girls , it is with sadness that I am writing to let you know I am going to have to bow out of the square swap.
At this point in time there is ALOT of personal things going on in our house hold and with and we are trying very hard to keep it all together her. Too much to think about and way to much to worry about and we are stressed to the max.. I am really sad about not being able to do this, I was so looking forward to seeing all the finished products but I am just not going to be able to do it this time. I will do my best to get in on the spring swap. May not see you all for a while as we will be not having the net for a while. Everyone take care and I will miss you.
 
Aw, Lovesmychicks!

Good luck, take care and many hugs.

Smitty I mainly typed in tonght for you, to answer your question on filet crochet. Filet crochet is super EASY! Most of the time it is doney using a graph & double crochet. I will find that link for that boat & post it & instructions on how to do filet crochet. It is done by counting stitches & making the "picture", such as the boat from the spaces. Not very good at explaining, but if you were near I could sure show you.

Queen glad you are back
