hello ....a voice from the past
Hello to all RTCYers,
It has been quite a while since I have had time to pop onto the board and say Hi. What I have been up to ..... I now manage a hotel in my local area and have some time at work to knit and crochet. Though the hours are long it is nice during down times to be able to work on a project. In the last year I have made about 7 felted purses . the last one finished last night was from the winter 2004 inKnitters magizine. Not sure if I will keep this or if it will find a home with a friend. Also in the last year I have made 3 pairs of felted clogs and 2 pairs of elf slippers for friends and family. I find them too slippery for me even with paint on the bottom. My knees and legs are not so good so I make them for friends instead. Around my family we have had a baby boom so for crocheting I have made about 15 baby afghans as gifts. I had a call from my sister in Washington last night at 2am telling me I am again a great aunt so I need to make a new afghan for Danielle Marie. Being who I am I alway enclose a gift for mom also when shipping out baby gifts ..... normally this would be wine glasses with the date incscribed but as my Neice is a minor , I am not sure what I will put in for her. As for the near family , we are in limbo do to the military .. hubby is national guard Army and is taking many classes these days and we are unsure as to his deployment right now ... so we wait. My son who is 15 is getting ready to start drivers ed and has his first girlfriend ( what a combo) . He is getting on great at school only struggleing with one class so I have to be proud of him. Dear daughter is just turned 13 and is a wonder to me . Some days she is very grown up and others she wants to cuddle with me as if she were 5 . oh the inbetween age growing up , I love her so. I am on Vacation for the next couple of weeks from work and have already killed my budget by going to the local yarn store yesterday. Daughter wants a chicken sign for her door saying welcome and son has " ordered" the flames sweater from stitch n bitch nation . Hubby has told me his military socks bother him and could I please knit him up some black socks to wear for duty ...... and as for me I am working on a ruana of my own design ( cable up the back parting to two cables down the front ) to wear at work when I go back I hope all is well with everyone God Bless and happy yarning.

Hi there Coggie, good to hear from you. And haven't you been a busy bee!! It
must be nice to be able to find time to knit/crochet finally, and goodness what a lot of babies. I hope your husband's situation is soon sorted out, it's the uncertainty that's the hard bit isn't it? Looking forward to hearing more from you soon Love Christine |

Hi Coggie, gosh what a lovely surprise, great to hear all about what you've
been up to...daughters and sons, and babymaking, albeit it not directly..lol. Hotel management....slippers and socks ......etc etc.. Things here don't change that much, Lots of new members of course, and the 6x6 still goes on with me as the founder member,and Nora at the helm managing it all beautifully, we celebrated it's first birthday last September, there is also a thread exchange going on as well, this is in it's infancy, but I think and hope it will be a successful ongoing swap. Not forgetting that there is always the many secret projects ongoing which Nora does, and the management lists that Noreen keeps of course... plus the usual many many other things the tips and news and views shared by all. In the meantime welcome back ... for however long.....or short a stay you have with us. Cheers....Cher x "coggietm" wrote in message oups.com...

Welcome back, Coggie. It is good to hear that things are going so well with
you and yours. I hope to knit some felted bags myself. I bought the wool last summer but have not had the time to knit it yet. Soon, though! Katherine |

Hi Coggie,
Oh, my, it's great to hear from you. I've missed all your notes on here. Wow, you have been a busy lady this past year and how the kids are going up. Doesn't seem possible they are both teenagers now. Prayers for you and your husband that he gets to stay right here in the US. I've been making afghans for Project Linus as ususal, on the 12th one for this year. I cheat and use two strands of worsted weight and a size "N" hook, they work up so fast, but it's a great way to use up the stash. Since I was using it up so fast, I went out and bought more last week while it was on sale. Always need yarn. Hugs, Nora |
