Indeed lots of hard work to get things sorted ...I truly apologise for cracking up, with a smile stuck to my face :-)) due to the once again fridge move. I have used the Mattress quote several times with success. Though Well Warned, I did peek at the first pic of the spider and my hair is still standing upright.

I’ve been putting up tomato sauce and cleaning carpets (after assembling a new carpet cleaning machine). Contractor is working downstairs finishing up wall and window, Bruce installed new toilet seats (unglamorous, but a fresh change). Today I get to decorate for fall while we wait for another contractor to bid re-stretching the new carpet torn up in the basement flood.

I've been meaning to email you to tell you that I took the Carrie Penny shawl and instead of starting with the magic ring (or whatever), I started with a chain of 40 to create a neckline similar to the shawl in the link you sent me. I like the 8 wedgess of the Penny shawl better than the 4 wedges of the other one. The neckline worked great but next time I'll probably make it a little bigger and probably start with a row of HDC before I start sectioning off into the wedges.Vicki Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06929340703066037054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-72355365697896284872021-09-06T11:09:52.856-04:002021-09-06T11:09:52.856-04:00Beautiful blogBeautiful blogRajani Rehanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439571117569471650noreply@blogger.com
