I like your frog! Hope you feel better really soon!
I've been doing research this morning about my treadle sewing machine. I've decided it's high time I learn to sew. Anyone here use a treadle machine? I wanted one like my grandmother had, and this one came along, a couple of years ago. A White Family Rotary. I want to do some things with my mother, and she's such an ace with needles, sewing, and such. We've got a plan so that I can learn the basics. |

Nothing on hook or needles I am sad to say.
I just haven't felt up to it this past couple of weeks. I am looking forward to starting a baby blanket soon, maybe by next wednesday 
Hope you are feeling better today Miss Kitty

Kathy hope you are feeling much better. Miss Kitty hope your feeling better,also. I have crocheted very little.Picked up a virus I guess. I feel much better today. Still spending time in the bathroom. I found a sock pattern and decided to try it because I felt to bad for anything else. I crocheted a sock. It took me all day. It turned out nice. It is a pedicure sock. Now, I need to make the other. Maybe next week. It is soooo hot here and humid to boot. Take care all. Hope everyone gets to feeling better. | ||||

Anormaxsis, am sending you get well thoughts, too! | ||||
| Kahud48 |
Thanks Maxine,
I hope you get to feeling better soon too. This stuff must be going around. I don't remember getting stuff like this in the summer back when I was a kid. It's all you hear nowadays is where someone is always getting sick every summer.

I have just been working on my pansy doily for the doily CAL. And a potholder.
I hope everyone starts feeling better soon. What is a Little Care Doll, Miss Kitty? I get so frustrated trying to sew, so sorry; I am of no help, Serena. I hope you do well with yours, though. Tina |

Thanks everyone! Kathy and Miss Kitty hope you are feeling better. I personally think It's the heat. I don't handle it well. | ||||

The only thing I am working on is the doily for the CAL/KAL. I'm in a dilemna about what to work on next. I am thinking I will do a beaded knitted fish bag pattern I bought at the DFW Fiberfest. Not for any reason, just to do it!
I have some Sinfonia I was looking to make a top out of and didn't have enough. Went to HL to see if by chance I could match the dye lot. They didn't have ANY of the cream that I had. So, then I found a filet crochet top. It used size 10 thread and I have plenty of that, so I may just tackle that. It will take a little while to do, but filet is easy just time consuming. That is my plan for now anyhow! |

Still feel like a Zombie, but getting better..
I used to sew with my grandmothers treadle machine. Don't out your finger in front of the footer. They do not stop on a dime. 
Kahud48 and anoramaxsis- hope you two are feeling better..
See told you I'm a Zombie. They are Comfort Dolls. Like these.. Instead of having a seam I use a provisional cast on and 2 circ. needles. I stuff before I close the hat. Mindless knitting. Can I ask something about esty- Can you have a pattern for sale ($6.00) for a pattern that you can get free? |
||||
| Kahud48 |
NO!
Just click on report there at Etsy in the ad that they are running. You will see it there in the right side ccolumn. No, not if it is a free pattern, then they are in the wrong because the company does not allow selling of their free patterns. Who is doing that Miss Kitty? You can report them to the company. I just bought one this past week on Ebay and believe me, I am reporting them today to Bernat |
||||
| Miss Kitty |
Maybe, I'll just do that.. | ||||
| Kahud48 |
I wonder if it is the same lady on Ebay.
It was for a kint sock pattern.... "Yoga Socks" and I paid $6.00 |

Hope you are feeling better Kathy and Miss Kitty. I have never delt with etsy. I have thought of ordering stuff. Is there always a problem? Serena thank you for the well wishes. Have not crocheted. Went to work yesterday. I feel better,just feel tired. | ||||
| Miss Kitty |
I just had found a pattern that someone was selling that looked like the same pattern that was free at a chairty site.. Doesn't happen very often.. Ebay- I have seen people selling those little tear-off sheets patterns that you can get at Hobby Lobby or places like that.. Just have to watch what you are buying.. |

Oh, those are cute. I do crochet toys for charity, maybe I'll try knitting some of those. Thanks for the link, Miss Kitty. I hope you feel better soon. I got sunburned taking the kids to the pool on Wednesday. I felt so sick yesterday. Like I had a mild flu.  Next time I am making someone put sunscreen on ME.  The six year old did put some after-sun lotion on my back for me, last night.

I get the same way when I'm at the lake in the sun to long.
Hope you are feeling better today.. Hope your sunburn turns into a tan instead of peeling.. |
||||
| Kahud48 |
Etsy does really good at staying on top of stuff like this. I give them high marks. I would much rather sell at Etsy than at Ebay anymore. Ebay just isn't as much one on one as Etsy is. |

Thanks Miss Kitty | ||||
| Serena |
Miss Kitty, thanks for the warning! I need to tune the machine a bit, and get some more needles. I'm working on a simply lap blanket this week. Nice to do something familiar and easy. Too much else going on. Hope everyone is feeling much better! |

Oh, it's peeling. :( My skin felt all weird, so I knew it was going to peel. I do feel better, though. Thanks. :)

MwaM, sorry your skin has needed to recover. The desert sun is rough. I had no idea that those years in the desert would show up so dramatically in later years.
Wish I'd stayed out of the sun, put sunscreen on every day, and kept my neck and arms covered, worn hats, etc. My sister and I both agree on this. Atlanta's sun is nothing like what Arizona's sun does. |
||||
| Miss Kitty |
I thought that by putting the lotion on you might forgo the peeling.. Sorry..
Though for some reason my hubbie like to peel my skin off when I'm peeling.. I just tell him "Stop touching me." |
