Lisa's UFO List For 2009

Glad to see you joining us here for 2009!!!

Are you crocheting or knitting the shrug?

I'm going to crochet, but I haven't found luck finding the wool. It calls for ribbon wool, but I haven't found that yet.

Lisa I editted your first post to show your up to date list

Thanks Dawn. I just saw your post in How did you do that and I was going to do that, but you beat me to the punch. Thanks!!!

Hugs,
Lisa

Actually I was not sure if it would let me edit your list so I was trying it out. After I did it I thought... Hmmm maybe I should share what I had learned? giggles

Finished Items:

Afghan for Amanda
4 pairs of fingerless gloves (I'm addicted, so I'm leaving that on as a UFO)

WOW!!! You go girl!!!!

Hugs,
Dawn

That makes 5 Finishes for you! Woo Hoo!

I finished a pair of fingerless gloves for Austin, so that makes 5 in total. The kids love them!!!

Between getting Tricia's party ready and the book, I have no time to get anything else done.

I noticed you have been extra busy. Don;t forget to get some rest or you will end up sick like me.

Hugs,
Dawn

Rest?!! What's that?!! Seriously, with what's being going on around here lately, the busier I can keep myself, the less likely I'll lose it.

Thanks for keeping the UFO's going.

Oh Lisa!! You poor thing! I hope you are not having the trouble i have been dealing with. If you ever need to vent you can email me whenever you need to. I will keep you in my prayers and in my thoughts.

HUGS,
Dawn

Thanks Dawn. I'm okay; it's just seems like everyone else I love is going through a rough time and it's all falling on me. I have to be the strong one and that's hard, especially with trying to get all the revisions done.

8 Pony cutouts are done. They're cute. I photocopied a My Little Pony from a colouring page and enlarged it, so it's larger than a letter sized piece of paper and then traced them onto Bristol Board. I made a pencil outline so the kids can see where the mane and tail are, then they can decorate them with markers, wool and glitter and whatever else I have in my craft boxes. I like to have a craft to start because NO ONE EVER shows up for a party at the same time.

You are so smart for thinkning ahead like that!

By the way have you found your ribbon yarn yet for your shrug?

Hang in there sweetie. I can certainly undertsand rough times. I cannot begin to explain what all has been going on around here. I was about to have a breakdown of my own over it all. It is still not over but at least I have been given a chance to catch my breath so to speak. and even that makes me feel guilty.

Well I am off to update my UFO list... it is getting longer instead of shorter! Sheeze! LOL

Hugs,
Dawn

Note to self... have totals up to this date

Dawn, In my finished list, I put in parentheses which were finished in the party, just in case they were already added to the total.

Thank you so much! That will be helpful!

So Far you have finished 28 UFOs! Wooo Hooo!

Today I have to finish:
get craft ready
make 2 batches of cupcakes (don't need that many but want to give the kids a choice between chocolate and vanilla for the cupcake decorating)
stuff pinata

2 batches of cupcakes done

Pinata Stuffed!
Craft Ready
(House A Mess Again)

Got your new finishes! WOO hoo you are on a roll!!! Have fun at the party!

Phew! Party done! I think the kids had fun. She invited 6 and 3 came, plus one little brother. It seemed like so much work for just a few kids, but so worth it.

And just think of the memories you helped create! Hope you get a chance to relax today.

Oh, yeah, Finally learned Tyler's mom's name; it's Patricia, but that makes it too confusing, so I'm leaving her as Tyler's Mom.

Just saw your post, Dawn. Relax? What's that? Even with just four girls (and the boys bribed into playing XBox downstairs for the whole party), I accumulated a fair amount of grey hairs. Between Tricia's best friend stealing toys during the pinata time, and unpermitted food (because of religious reasons) being eaten, I was so happy, it was a small party. Of course, the only one stressed was me; Tricia had a ball.

I have no idea what the word relax actually means LOL. Sounds like you had your hands full.... giggles. And what is a mom without a few grey hairs? giggles (That is what hair dye is for LOL )

Baby afghan for Tyler's mom is now done.

Congratulations on a great finish!
You have 41 finishes so far this year!

Hey Lisa I saw some ribbon yarn at Joanne's the other day when I was there. I knew someone was looking for it and could not recall who. If you still can't find any, let me know and I could pick some up for you, just let me know what color you need. Or does it have to be wool? If so I cannot touch wool... unless I have gloves on.

Thanks so much, Dawn. I do have some extra yarn, although it's not ribbon and maybe I'll just try the shrug to make sure I like the style. Then look for the right yarn and make a second.

I found a pattern for crochet pokeballs and I think I'll make a 1/2 dozen into Christmas ornaments, plus design a bunch of my brother's fave pokemons as well as each of my kids favourites. I so need a life!!!

LOL now you sound like me LOL

Still working on the scrap cluster afghan. Got a couple rows done.

Thank you so much for the progress update! I cannot explain how good it is to see updates after the week I just had!

Finished afghan for James' teacher with a couple of weeks to spare. Now to work on the quilt; I'll need to get some more batting soon.

Finished the quilt runner for Dad during the party and mended Tricia's snow suit.
