I have spent the entire day today shopping and now I am really tired. All the walmarts are marking their red heart yarn down to $2 for some reason. Makes me worry. The walmart in my town is slowly fazing their craft section out and if they do I will have to drive forever to get to the nearest store that sells yarn. Good thing I found that angelcraft site. Are the walmart stores doing the same thing in all yalls towns?

Karen I have the same problem with the yellow yarn. For some reason I thought just 3 skeins would be enough to make my babygan for my cousin and now I need one more but all the walmart stores dont carry the caron simply soft yellow anymore. They marked it all down real cheap and sold out. Not going to restock either.

Just got caught up on whats going on in here and now will go to bed. Will prolly be lurking most of this week when I can. Like to keep up with what all is going on but very little time to stick around and talk.

For all of yall that live in the freezer part of the country, it was 25 all day and I thought I was going to freeze to death then I read where yall are having below freezing temps and feel grateful. Yall are tougher than I am.

Thanks okiemommy! Since I won't be having any more little ones, I need to live vicariously through those that are! lol Whether you have one, two or more *gasp* I wish a healthy pregnancy and delivery for you and baby (ies?!).

Greetings, everyone.

It's a cold night here in our part of Pennsylvania. The thermometer outside is reading -4 and the windchill, according to the local news, is -27. There's all ready a 2 hour delay for school tomorrow.

That darn wind is just whipping. I had to go out to get firewood a bit ago and about froze my behind off. Now, I wouldn't mind losing some of my behind, but whew, it's cold! Especially for so early in the winter.

Working on a round ripple. Here's a pic.

Still has quite a ways to go. The verigated is Bernat Wedgewood. I just love the brown & blue combination. I plan on making it large enough to be folded in half and cover the back of the sofa.

Scrambled, those t-shirts are adorable. I'd be in for one, if the price was a tad lower. Love the hooking chicken picture idea.

And okie ... congrats on the impending munchkin or munchkins!! I'm another who won't be having anymore of my own. But, oh, I do love babies. There's just nothing like a good sniff of baby head.

I agree! It was 70 here yesterday and today @ 6:30 am it was 19* with wc of 1*. And has not got over 25* all day. Don't know how you folks in colder climes can handle it for weeks on end. I've shivered all day. Even right in front of the fire. Well, guess you probably have warmer clothing than I do. Since we don't have a lot of cold weather, normally, I just have lightweight coats, gloves, pants, shirts....you get the picture. I've been wishing for thermal undies and coveralls today!

SE, your puppies are so cute! Makes me want one, too. I'll just put a sweater for my grandpup on my "to do" list for right after Christmas.

And I agree with ya mangled & okiemommy, there's just nothing better than a sweet baby to sniff!
 
I can't keep up with this thread!!!

I am starting on a dog sweater, but I get impatient very fast so this one might turn out a little short. anyway it will be black with pink fun fur around the edges. I will post pics when it is done!!

We do chatter a bit Horsecrazy!! Welcome Kellie!!!! Thrilled to have you too!!! We even have a couple of hooker guys in this thread!! How cool is that?!

Really cold here this morning, of course, since I have to go to work, lol! yuck!

The t-shirt idea was a pre-interest and it is way back burner for Nifty but maybe next summer with a different gif and lower price, we'll see. Thanks for the comments, they will all be considered.

...I sent Maw a pm the other day to take off LovemyChix and add back AlgoPurple...don't think she has been on the puter since then though but remind her if she is since the list on the first page is wrong.

horsecrazy and Kellie,
It's taking forever to catch up with the thread, I've been so busy. I finally have a tree, didn't really want one but my mother said she wasn't going to come for dinner on Thursday if I didn't have one. I said ok don't come I'll stay in bed. That didn't go over well.
DH is still out on storm, there are people in Lunenburgh, Ma who have been out of power for 13 days now, so the Governor sent his crew and a bunch more over there. I asked if he was going to be home for yule/christmas dinner on thursday and he said and I quote " don't know busy saving the world" he thinks he's soooooo funny. NOT
So glad Jack Frost found a home!
Is anyone else's chickens and ducks afraid of the snow, mine won't come out of the coop.
Have I said how sick I am of shoveling, I'm going to go buy a snowblower soon as I get some money.
Have I said how gratefull I am for my dodge ram that after getting sick of shoveling I got in put it in 4w drive and drove straight through over a foot of snow that the plow had pushed in front of my driveway. Ha ha take that God of the North.

oooh now I've made him mad!
Going to go shopping today. I hate shopping except for food.I love food shopping. I know I'm weird.
Have a great day everyone!!!!
