Glass Chatroom Board

Good Mornin’ Everyone – I DID IT!! I FINALLY DID IT!! The wedding blanket is finally done and in the washing machine. All that is left to do is block it, photo it and package/wrap it and I will be ready for the May 31st wedding of a grandson (one of the twins). Later I will make another one that is similar but not identical for the day when the other twin gets married (someday in the future). This one was difficult in places where it needed complete concentration to get the placements and sizes right but really easy during the flat parts. The next one should not take as long now that this one is all plotted out. Today I shall start on one of the three graduation blankets I have to finish before the first of June. I’ve got coffee – going to catch up with what has been happening.

Don - It is exciting to hear that you have some adventure coming in your future. I think the Glass Museum is a splendid idea for starters. You have time to explore all your options. I am looking forward to hearing about it. You are a super secret Santa. The set you sent Katie is fabulous.

Katie – TWO PIECES of Don’s glass – You lucky Dawg!!! Those are truly beautiful. WOW!!

Shelly – My RA does make it difficult at times to work the hooks. I can’t take meds to reduce the swelling in my joints but I do have pain meds I can take when it gets really bad. I am extremely lucky to have a very strong pain tolerance and I have built my hook handles up so that I am not applying unnecessary strain on my joints. I do all my crocheting either in my lift chair with TV or radio going or (in warm weather) out on the front porch with the tranquil sound of the fish pond. However I do all the writing of my patterns and charting of designs on the computer in the office.

Julie – It sounds like the slowdown is God’s way of making everyone take time to smell the roses. Try to enjoy the slower pace at least for a little while. Everything will get back to some form of normal in its own good time. Good luck with your swap meet. I sure hope you find some dry ground, lots of sales, laughs and friends.

Gail – I know it is hard not to overdue. Maybe the visit with your daughter will slow you down just a little bit. I sure hope things went well at the institute, daughter arrived safely and you’re enjoying a wonderful day.

Irene – Those are some beautiful blossoms. What a joy to have and hopefully they are as fragrant as they are beautiful. Hope hubby is doing well and getting back to his ol’ self.

Well the washer is done and coffee cup is empty. Time to go spread out this blanket, square it up and photo it for prosperity. If all goes well, I will have eye candy for you tomorrow.
Waving a big howdy to everyone who stops by. Hope everyone is having a delightfully wonderful day. So much for short notes!! <<; ^)
