Whoooopieeee

My mail lady must have read my post!!!! I got bookmarkers this week so far and my kitchen/bath swap box full of wonderful goodies. My hubby says "what do you do to get this wonderful stuff?" Guess I am loved after all!!!!

The post man has been mean to me!

I love getting RAOKED and SWAPS all that fun jazz to spice up crochet. Well my post man(actually its a very nice lady God bless her) hasnt brought me anything this past week and It makes me sad. So sad I sent out 2 yes 2 RAOKs and 2 of my swaps. Maybe she will be nice this week. I live at the end of the line (the campground it farther but he do they really count) And my post lady is always in such a good mood when she stops. If she toots her horn I get so excited and so do my children. That means she has a package that wont fit(I love those) Yippeeee

Today I finished up my Dawn purse by the crochet dude !!! Love it Using it!! wanta another (or 5) Great pattern except for a type O I found which reminds me I need to send him a message. I chose blue and white (my favorite colors which also are my high school colors)

We are busy making plans for the return trip to Mexico in November and I am struggling to find a use for this (what seems to be industrial stregnth cord) Yarn. Not really sure its yarn to be honest and I am not so sure I will really want another new project making rugs. If any body wants to make a rug or 2 for our missions in Mexico Id be glad to send this stuff so you could do it! lol

I am about to have my life completely changed the 3 children I love and homeschooled for all their lives have decided (with the approval of Us) they want to go to school. Hummm A whole day with out school work what ever shall I do? Hummm probably clean my house really good and then CROCHET!!!! I have been thinking of job hunting but again maybe I will make crafts and go to markets. Here in PA we have 1 on a weneday, a thursday and ones that go all weekend long. So maybe................... humm!!!

I guess thats about all for now!! I need to hop to it and work on my SIL afgahn her wedding is 3 weeks away and I just started ummmm ok I admit I didnt start yet. Guess I better get my hook in gear!!!

Hey heres whats new in my corner of PA

Well since our return from Mexico I have been busy with a capitol B writting a newsletter printing photos and visiting churches and if that were not enough ministry we are planning a trip to West VA and Missouri this summer and another trip into Mexico this fall. Phew!
This leaves little time for crochet. I have joined a few swaps and am in some CALs too. Busy busy. This fall my children will go to Public school rather then homeschool. So I will have lots of free time "what to do what to do?"
I know Crochet!!!!
I am also co-ordinating the traveling hook. Wow I am a busy lady!
Most importantly for the month of June The blitzers are working on cancer caps and I am donating 2 cents for every hat donated 1 cent for American cancer society and 1 cent for breast cancer research So bust my piggy bank ladies its for a great cause!!
Crocheting helps me stay sane! lol
