    I send a box to someone ( I forgot who, lol) around Christmas. Did anyone get it? It had alot of browns and tan colors in in it.

    I will have another box going out the end of the week. These are mostly tweeds.

    can't believe after a couple of years of having hundreds of avocados on that tree that it is taking a break ... breaking my heart is more like it lol ... even the new crop is only going to be in the dozens range not hundreds which is breaking my parents and friends hearts too !!

    box on the way purple - maybe arriving tues/weds time frame i'm guessing

    Okay so no avacado.  Darn!  It has turned bitter cold here again and I'll be bordering squares getting ready to make another afghan. 

    We are taking names so if you know someone who needs a box of hugs, let me or Madison know.

    Thanks for all the hard work girls.

    Hugs

    I got a 1 lb skein at Michael's this week, will start on that sometime next week.

    I planted 2 pecan trees in my yard many years ago and they have never done a darn thing either. On the other hand my parent's garden had a huge turnip crop this year. I am going down there tomorrow and see if they are still any good. But I don't suppose anybody wants a bunch of turnips in the mail. Undecided

    I'm trying to finish two afghans by Sunday night. I'm bordering squares.....I had a huigaghan promised already and want to give the other one to my boss's Mom. Her surgery is Tuesday. She lives over 2 hours away so my boss is going in Monday night to be with his Mom. Thank you all for your help.

     I'm using 84 squares this weekend and that a whole lot of squares.

    Hello -

    I sent a box of squares to you Madison yesterday - I think it had 30 (?) in it.  I have another 30 that are nearly finished - need to do weave in the loose ends.  I should be able to mail it soon.  Should I send the next one to you also Madison? Or can you direct me to where else to send?

    Thanks for letting me be part of this!

    Hi all

    I sent 2 boxes of squares today with about 24 in each. One is on the way to Liz and one to MB.

    I had an episode of lymphedema in my right arm last week and couldn't crochet at all. It is under control now but working on squares for even a short time makes it start to ache. Cry Have to be really careful but I am so hoping I can get back up to speed. I really miss it.

    Hugs to all,

    Sue
