One more thought....a friend @ crochetville was looking for the pattern for this particular doilyhttp://www.therockingchair.us/runner.jpg if you know where to find this at, please please please, tell me and I can send the information to my friend. Thank you!!!
Tonight, I decided to try out Dot's little Bitty bag for the bag along. So far, I am using Wal-Mart's Mainstays blue verigated yarn for this project and it is taking on good shape. Nausea, back pain, breast tenderness, tiredness.....does this mean what I think it means????? Let's keep our fingers crossed. Its time that my dd has a sibling to have around. I really hope that I am. Its been really hot here in Alberta and with the way I am feeling, the heat doesn't really help. 94 degrees F!!!! Boy, that is relatively nothing compared to the hot summers I lived through in Arizona!!! I am so glad that I came across Crochetville! It is the only place I really spend any time on when I am online. So much fun reading posts and meeting newbies that join. I feel that they are my family, even though I haven't met them in person yet. I already have mail correspondence here for a cute afghan that was sent from Massechusetts, I sent a doily to Maine, and I have another pattern coming from Kentucky. Right now, my husband and I are working on getting his paperwork to be a landed immigrant for the US and when that is completed, we are moving to Montana. I will so be looking forward to the day that the paper work arrives!!!! We are going through a lawyer in Las Vegas, Nevada and they really get results. So, lets keep our fingers crossed for that too!
Today, I cannot figure out what pattern I want to crochet. My mind is in a whirl-wind and I wish I could think straight. I signed on to do the Bag-Along and at first decided to make the Take a long Tote using Aunt Lydia's crochet demin. I frogged it 3 times already and then tried something else but I just keep going back to the TALT. It is not working for me as of yet and I am running out of patience. I have been working dilegently on my squares but I also have to work on my dishtowel topper for my Luvs2crochet Exchange on Yahoo. What is a girl to do?? My brother is coming up this week and I am hoping that he is bringing his digital camera with him because I want to show off my crochet items I have made and am working on. Well, what is a poor girl supposed to do??? If anyone has other suggestions about a tote bag (I have been to Crochet Patterns Central) that is really simple and quick to make up and nothing too exotic to stitch, let me know.

Today I figured it was time for me to just sit and work on my squares for the Random Square Swap. So far, so good. Just now, my little girl just showed me her version of knitting....one knitting needle in the middle of cotton thread. How sweet, huh? Going back to the squares, I have 6 already done up so far, and one of them is of my own design. I have no clue how I did it but its done. 29 squares left to go. I actually got my doily sent off to Maine today and I am looking forward to receiving my doily. My WIPS seem to be getting bigger and bigger. I have an heirloom tabletopper in progress that I making for my dh's bedside table, squares for the swap, a bag along project that I need to get started on, and of course, my very first M A M afghan. Do I sound like I have CADD? Crochet Attention Deficiet Disorder?? Or is it Crocheting Additicts Decision Disorder?? LOL. Who knows, all I care about is crocheting. It really doesn't matter what it is, I just have to do it! Along those lines, I asked my dh to teach me how to knit a dishcloth. He made one up in just under a half an hour. Just add another hobby into the loop. Well, I am going back to Crochetville to be among friends, more later.
