Yard Saling

I went yard saling today with my sis, mom and Mom's cousin.
We had a nice time and I made a haul on yarn and some more crochet books.
In the yarn, was a box with 2 partially made up baby ghans and lots of squares already started. It is really clean yarn and several full skeins of Red Heart brand. I'll try to take a picture of it later.

I finished up a baby afghan order yesterday and delivered it. I've been making so many small items lately that it seems like it's been a long time since I've finished an afghan. Now, I'm concentrating on the high school items for the Booster Club and then on to Halloween and Christmas items.

I am going to have to start designing our Christmas cards soon. If I don't at least get them designed, they will never get done. That's the hardest part. I'm not much of a graphic designer but everyone seems to like the cards when they get them.

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend, Peoples!

Crochet, Archery, Crochet, Archery.....

Well, it's been a few days since I've posted anything here. I've been a little busy.

I've been making up things for orders on my store and swaps. I'm hoping to be caught up this weekend, but we'll see what happens.

Andy will be starting actual football practice next week. I can't believe that school will be starting in 3 weeks. The summer went so fast!

We had an archery club meeting last night. It was a good turnout of people. We got a lot talked about and the president is learning a lot about it. He is a past president, but things have changed so much with what has been being done that he's new at it. I was hoping we had a new publicity person, but that doesn't seem to have panned out afterall. It appears that the new gal will be going back to Tacoma for work soon. So I'm back doing it until someone will step up to the plate. I did inform them to be prepared to do a work party when it's time to send out flyers soon and everyone seemed to be on board to help me with that.

It was also decided to add another 3-D shoot to our schedule. We used to have a shoot in November and dropped it due to a lack of interest. We have added it back on now. We just have to decide on a date, which I have to make sure it's not going to interfere with any other club's shoots or events.

I also need to update our mail and email lists from this past year's shoots. That's a big project that the boys will be helping me with. Although, they don't know it yet.

Well, I'll let you all go for now and see what today will bring.

Have a wonderful week!

Flip Flops

Every year on this past Friday, my mom, sister and sort of sister spend the day yard saling and going to a huge art show. We had a really fun time!

I made all of them a pair of flip flops.

Mike and the boys went to the annual hydroplane races this weekend. I sent some of my new huggies with them to sell and on Saturday, Mike sold all but one! But, he came home with some special orders and I was up late last night and up early this morning to get them all done for today. The last time I spoke with him, he had 3 left. He had 15 yesterday and 15 today. They went over really well down there! They are also handing out my business cards, so maybe I'll have more orders. I think once it cools off, the boobie slippers will start selling too. My hand hurt last night and is hurting a bit today too I did so much crocheting yesterday. I may have to soak it and see if that helps it any.

The Sears repair person for the refrig. is scheduled to be here between 8am and 5pm Monday! At least the cable company narrows it down to 4 hours. Do they not realize that people have jobs and can't be home all day waiting for them?? It really irritates me what they call customer service! NOT!

Well, the boat races are over now. Dave Villwok wins again. He isn't who I was cheering for, but my boat, Myers Auto Tech., was having trouble all day. Myers is the company that did all the work on my Montero this past year. They are awesome! If you live in the Tri-Cities and really want to have your vehicles worked on by a great group of people, call them. They have treated us so great and my car was not an easy job! The boats go to Seattle for this next week. That's always an interesting race to watch.

I've really gotta go rest my hand. I have lots of typing to do tomorrow at work.

It's Tuesday....

Well, it's Tuesday and the week did not start off very well.

On Sunday, we noticed that our refrigerator/freezer was having trouble. Monday morning we removed all the freezer items and put them in the large freezer out in our shed. The outside edges were getting hot, around the freezer only. I called to get a repair person here and they can't show up until July 30th! A week away! I'm thinking, ok the refrig part still works and they told me that it won't catch on fire before they get here.

Well, yesterday, the refrig. section just stops working! So hubby goes to get ice bags, the boys bring in a couple of coolers and we fill up the camp trailer refrig. too. Now, we are camping inside the house!! I'm so not happy with Sears right now. We've been paying for an extended warranty on appliances and I'm thinking that it's time to get them looked at and close them. Warranties should give us a priority of turn-around time on broken items. Expecially, when it's the only refrig. we have. I don't think I'll be buying any more appliances from them after this. I'm sure I could have bought from a local company and gotten it repaired much sooner.

The hydroplane boat races are this weekend and I'm staying home this year. Mike is going on Saturday with a buddy. For some reason, Mike's company decided that Saturday is a 21 and over only day. It's really the wrong day to do that, since all the kid stuff is done on Friday and Saturday and hardly nothing on Sunday, just races and the air show. On Sunday, he is taking the boys down there. The company has a private viewing area and with a banquet permit, they can drink inside it. We used to be in charge of getting all the food, drink, BBQ and permit down there, year after year, since we liked to get there really early to park close. After many years of babysitting drunken adults, seeing that they get home on time and watching my own kids, I'm done with it. For now, I'll just sit at home and watch them on TV if they are on there. I'll post pictures later of what it looks like down there on the river.

Well, I'm hoping that the rest of the week goes better. I'm off the work and the post office this morning. I needed to mail out something yesterday and with the refrig. problem, I never got there.

I hope you all have a good week!

Breast Cancer Walk

I am working on a bunch of stuff for a friend of mine in Pennsylvania. She is making money for a breast cancer walk that she is doing. She is having a craft and bake sale on July 21st. She's going to sell some of my boobie items there too.

She has a store on Etsy, like I do and has some really cute stuff.
Please visit her store and buy, buy, buy. It's for a great cause!

It's been really hot here! Over 100 for about 4 days or more now. It's supposed to be 108-110 for the next few days. I'm not going to ask for rain though. Some buddies of mine in Texas did that and are just now able to walk in their yards, I think.

You all have a wonderful rest of the week!

Lator, Gators and Gatorettes!
