It's finnished.

You all know hat happened in my blog about the doily. Well My wonderful mother in-law for whom that sad sad happening was for, told me to pick a different pattern. I did and now i want to tell the story of Dorine's doily #2. I had little to no problems with this one while working on it. However when I was done making it. I found pizza strains. Thanks little girls! I got out the spray and wash and ran it through the wash. The pizza didn't come out of course not why should it be that easy? I got out the bleach and bleach the spots and the rinse it out that seemed to work, thank goodness. After it dries I stretched it out and pinned it. This took of course and hour. I them sprayed starch on it, thinking Wahoo it's done. Yea RIGHT! It started to turn yellow!!! oh crap now what? I decided to wash it again. luckily it washed out the starch and apparent bleach that was still there. NO MORE YELLOW. YEAH!!!!! ok so here it is.

Dear Secret friend.

Sara wants to thank you for the letter and money. It will help her with girls scout a lot. "It was very very sweet of you. I would send you a card if I could." When I read the letter to her she cried. She felt loved and so did I Thank you!!!

Girl Scouts.

Sara is now a girls scout. Some of the other kindergarten mother have started a Daisy troop. Dasie's are girls of kindergarten and 1st grade age. She is in need of some badges and pins for her tunic. We have bought her tunic and handbook. I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help out with the cost of these other items. I know 12.00 isn't much but I have spent 23.00 already and I am out of funds for this month. I feel like such a heel that I am even asking but I have been told many time that when I am in need that is what family is for. Sara is very excited to be a girl scout. I remember when I was little I wanted to be a girl scout but it never happened. Jayne is excited because she gets to go to school this fall. She is patiently waiting for her acceptance letter in the mail. Jayne is working shapes so quiz her if you can. Abygail is having a great time swimming this summer and has been working on learning her colors. She is going to be wearing the color of the day for the next little while so when you see her try to talk about the color of the day with her. I am not sure what I will do with her while I go to school this fall.

A very sad story

I have been working on making a Dollie for Dorine for about 3 months. I has taken so long because I have been having issues with my left arm that has made is hard to crochet for long periods of time. This pattern has 41 rows. I was working on row 30 last week when I decided to look over the whole thing and make sure it was looking right. This is the sad part. I found a spot in the middle about rows 10-15 that had been cut. I think either Jayne or Abygail was playing in my crochet box and got the scissors and was playing with them. I was devastated! I called mom and got voice mail. I called Dorine and got answering machine. I really needed someone that would understand how I felt. As I thought of who to call, Lorene can to mind. So I called her. She was wonderful. She really did understand and has the right words to help me feel better. Thanks Lorene!!!!
