    Hollyann, I'm glad Goody received her hugaghan.  I couldn't open the link, but I know she was comforted by the gift.

    I mailed a hugaghan yesterday.   I'll post a picture later today.

    I did get some squares from CY's Mom.  I also received some squares from Brenda...I love  the colors.  

    Liz, I bordered some squares from Brenda and CY's Mom and I'll put them in the mail to you this week.   I did get the box of squares you mailed......thank you..........they are great.  

    Thanks to all of you.......

    hugs from a very wet, soggy Sunday in the South

    I love knowing that our boxes of hugs provide comfort and love to all we send them to.  I'm hoping to be able to start putting one together this week.  I am very busy at work this month, but am planning on bordering while running the board during football games. 

    Madison, glad you got the box.  I'll talk with you later.

    MB..... I do need to get that item to you for Tim and Angela.  You take the time you need with all you're doing. 

    Thank you all so very much for all your hard work and support.  We couldn't continue this without each of you.

    Hugs,  Liz

    Liz, a little late - but hope your Birthday was Wonderful.  Happy Birthday.

    Goody, glad that your afghan arrived and brings you much comfort.  They seem to have a way of doing that.

    I would like to thank the ladies who directed me to crochet websites to crochet afghans for my sisters.  I did start one using the filet square and then making my own pattern as I do not like granny squares.  However, once I have the two afghans completed (I have 2 sisters with bc), I would be willing to make squares for anyone else in the sisterhood.  I know receiving a prayer shawl from my DD was very comforting during a very stressful time.

    MB..... mail some here.  I'll border.  You've got a lot going on girl!  I'm sewing one together now and will start on bordering the ones I have and will be ready for those you have also.

    New hours have me a bit fumbled but I know once I get used to them, I will have more time to devote to the hugaghans!

    Hugs everyone

    Hi everyone,

    MB - thank you for the box of bordered squares!  I'm set for sure for awhile now.  I know you're busy with the wedding plans.

    I have an afghan sewn together and will get it bordered this week.  A new box of hugs will be going out soon.

    If anyone has squares ready please send them to either myself or Madison for now. 

    Thanks so much for all your help!

    Hugs

    Beautiful Liz

     I'm finishing an afghan this evening

     Ellie, it is hot and humid down South...I just had to get up from working on the afghan 'cause I was getting too hot....I wish we would have a cool front come through.....and not back up as a warm front!

    I actually got a 14 oz skein of verigated yarn this weekend and have been crocheting like crazy. I made 6 squares so far and can probably get another 3 or 4 blocks out of that skein. I forgot my coupon Friday when I went but I got the 40% off coupon from Michaels out of the paper yesterday and may go this week and get a 16 oz ball of 'unlabeled yarn in solid colors' that they have in a bin for 5.99 a lb and with my 40% off coupon it will be less than $4.00 a lb. the skeins are marked as acrylic and since we don't need dye lot numbers it won't matter. I will work on some 'fancy patterns' to do the plain yarn up in. My wrist doesn't hurt too much after crocheting all day yesterday. I didn't get to AC Moore to see what specials they have in their yarn section.

    Madison & I along with the help of so many other ladies, continue to make the Hugaghan afghans.  We are again asking for recipient names and mailing addresses so we may provide them with a box of hugs. 

    If you know of someone, please send either of us a PM with their information.

    Thanks,

    Liz
