Got to go run some braille off today. Got to talk to the Pastor's mother in law. I'm in charge of the braille. She went in sometime yesterday and ran some braille off, numbered some pages that was already taken care of and someone had numbered to many and we had to count them so I don't know if she ran the amount of that number or not. She won't tell me what she's doing. She needs to tell me so I'll know if I get new runners where to start and stuff. She does stuff like this and it feels like she's trying to take over in a way. Her daughter/Pastor's wife started and she ended up doing a lot of it before I got asked to take it over. I got to figure a way to tell her something and not hurt her feelings. I don't mind her helping, she just needs to tell me what she's doing and stuff.

ctay,

Could you maybe start up a chart to indicate what you've done, how far you've gotten, for BOTH of you to fill out. That way you can introduce it to her as a benefit for both of you instead of just saying she needs to tell you where she's at and how much she's done. You can say it will help her know where you're at as well?

Just a thought.

I'm a knitter!! I taught myself how to knit when I was about 12 or 13 :) I used to get books from the library and copy down the patterns by hand on post it notes...but only used a couple to make things.

I have a cute seed stitch baby booty pattern somewhere and I used to make tons of baby booties!! Now I'm mostly into making scarves as I don't have time to sit and do something long or difficult. My daughter and nieces all love the scarves and the yarns these days are so much fun to work with!

Hooray for another knitter! :D I wanted to knit so badly but didn't know anyone to teach me. So, I took out a book from the library and didn't look back.

I'm in the middle of my first sock. I'm a little scared to turn the heel even though everyone says that it's really pretty fun. :scratch: I'll get there though.

I'm currently working on a bunny for my God-sister. (My parents are her Godparents. I'm Godmother to her older sister.) Her birthday is next week. And I still have to finish the second half of the body and the arms, stuff it and sew on the eyes and nose.

Kae, do you crochet as well?

Funnily enough, I never got the hang of it. I can do it...just not well. :)

Do you have a favorite fiber? I'm currently going nuts with sugar and cream cotton...making tons of dishcloths.

I tried macrome, can't spell it way back in the 80's when it was real popular. Wasn't real good at it though. Tried knitting, learned one stitch, this was way back in the dark ages, tried quilting, gave up on that, its hard doing it by hand. Tried knitting, gave up on that.

I'll be happy for a break in between parenting and grand-parenting, but I doubt I'll get it. My stepson and his wife will likely be working toward getting settled in their careers within the next year or so and I know she's ready.

My favorites change depending on what I'm working on. I've done dishcloths for Christmas gifts as they're fast to work up and people seem to like getting something handmade.

It will be warm enough for camping around here very soon! We bought a tent last summer but didn't get to use it because of a lot of things going on. I never even set it up to make sure everything was there...yikes. We'll be backyard camping before we hit the dunes!

I didn't get one. When my grandson was born my youngest was only 15, not even in high school yet.
