Summer 2012 Granny "Square" Swap (sign ups closed)

[SunnyDawn]

And I solved the mystery of the extra square. I counted mine and saw that I had 1 of the 12"ers and in my tired state that seemed right so I thought the square was an extra. Dawned on me later that since I did 2 sets I got to keep 2 of my own squares. haha Sometimes I wonder about this old brain. It doesn't seem to work quite right at times.

I have a package at the P.O. that may be my blocks. Sure hope so although I am expecting a shipment of yarn to finsh this snow block afghan for my granddaughter's wedding present. I'll go to the P.O. tomorrow and pick it up. By the time I checked mail today it was too late to make it to the P.O. before it closed.

The wind was very bad today. It blew some of my flower pots of the porch railing. It's cold tonight but they say we won't get any rain from the system, just wind for several days. I'd like to see a few inches of snow though. It makes the desert look like fairyland.

Yes it does! We woke up to about 1/2 inch of snow on the ground this morning. Not quite fairyland but it did soften things up a bit. It doesn't seem that cold though. Didn't even need a jacket to tend animals this morning til the wind started up toward the end of my chores. That wind just cut right through my fleece shirt. If it never snowed much more than this I could get to like the snow.

Let us know if they are your blocks.

LOL Yeah that poor envelope was stuffed to the gills and I had 4 more people's squares to add to it. At that point we admitted defeat and switched you to a box instead. No don't worry about it. Seriously it's not worth the gas or postage to send it when it is such a small amount. I just mentioned it so you all wouldn't be wondering what happened to the boxes or envelopes you sent your squares in.
Plus a little of the extra room I needed was because I sent a little something extra that you all weren't expecting and it's not fair that I charge more because I got a bug in my ear and decided to throw in one more thing. The extra item I sent would not have shipped well in the envelope. Otherwise I would have switched to a Tyvek bag which would have weighed even less. Then the difference would have been a few cents only.Thanks again Sunny!

Thanks again Sunny! Sorry about that! I should have known better since I had to switch some people's packages in the Fall Swap. Oh I'm sooooooooo excited!!! I can't wait to see my squares.

Can't wait to see our surprise either!!!!

No problem!


Can I ask you all a favor? One of the participants has contacted me and her package was short! I know now I should not have let DH help with this. I'm still learning what he is having problems with due to the Alzheimers and apparently this is something that confused him. Hopefully it was just this one package since it was a double set and that may have confused him more.

If you did one set you should have received at least 18 squares. Actually 20 since I put at least 2 in each box from Alethea. If you did 2 sets you should have at least 36+2. I am going to send her some of mine cause the "extras" got added to many boxes. I wasn't too stressed about having extras from others cause I knew folks had made extras. Oh I hope there is only the one box that got messed up. Let me know if there are others please! Thank you!!!

Sunny, THEY CAME! They are gorgeous. I haven't counted them yet but if you need more blocks let me know because I did some extra. Guess I can't count, but it seems I always end up with more than needed. I love the surprise. It is so, so pretty and it will be displayed in front so I can brag on it. This was a wonderful swap. I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for hosting it.

Oh you are so welcome! Thank you Betty!

What did you think of Beth's gift? I thought that was so sweet of her to send that since you were talking about your new puppy and all.

I'm going to walk down to the mail box right now and see if they have arrived. I don't think we checked the mail yesterday either, so they may be there.

Opened the bar last Sat so this past week has been a whirl wind. We took yesterday off & today to try to catch up on much needed house work.

I just found Beth's gift.

I was showing my blocks to my daughter so took them all out and there was another surprise for me. Oh! Beth! Thank you so much. The picture frame is lovely. It was so thoughtful of you. You called my new puppy "sweet Sadie" right now I call her "satanic Sadie" She is in one of her spells of getting into everything and she loves to tear up paper. I think she like to hear the noise. There are angels all around us and surely you are one of them. She weighs over 40 lbs now and will be 5 mo. old on the 1st.

And thank you Betty for the offer of extra squares! I've already got the squares gathered up and I'm finishing up another 12" square for her now. I will make another 6x12 tonight and I had an extra from Luna (actually from me cause I made more than Luna needed when I helped her finish lol). I'm just concerned that this is the only box that got shorted. If it happened to anyone else please let me know right away.

If anything you all should have more than I stated above cause there were a few extras that I just kept going down the line and throwing in boxes. A few folks made more than the 18 needed so I kept going til they were gone. So don't worry if you have more than what I stated just if you have less!
