I will go to your blog now and see if you tell us.

The entire project--which took months, as you might imagine, is now catalogued under "The Scarf Initiative" on my site at plantwhateverbringsyoujoy.com. Or an abbreviated version was published last winter on Ode online.

One of them noticed the finely made edging on each one, and I said "That's Sue, she arranges the squares she receives, crochets them together and then puts that beautiful edging all around." They truly are works of art that you create.<br />Thanks for using both of my squares! Good luck on the pink blanket, my sisters were amazed by that one.<br />Happy Birthday on the 10th to the twin daughters! <br />Thanks to YOU, Sue, for allowing me to be a small part of SIBOL!<br />Love, KayKay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-25878934754595082092012-02-05T06:50:06.383-05:002012-02-05T06:50:06.383-05:00I think that I too would want to do everything tha...I think that I too would want to do everything that you have listed, right down to the back-friendly mattress but then...

I had two Squares come in unexpectedly at the end which threw me somewhat , but that worked in your favour because I could then add your TWO in! Which I was really pleased about. Thank you for being so excited about it all!<br />I am really hoping that this Blanket will keep on rising in the bids. It finishes on my daughters birthday 10th!<br />Great Squares, great photo! Big Thank you.<br />Also fantastic write up here on your blog!

Then I'd buy a new settee for the living room and a better, back-friendly mattress for my bed. I'd invite my friends and family to a great meal at a restaurant to celebrate, and have a live band playing for us, and dance all night. Then I'd travel to the Channel Islands, where I've wanted to go for a long time but it is too expensive for me right now.<br />And since I have some friends who are even less well off financially than I am, I'd help them a bit, too.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-8302475107226136082012-02-04T12:01:53.663-05:002012-02-04T12:01:53.663-05:00Not really.

I never mentioned it on my blog or wrote anything about it because some things are so unexpected and so painful, not to mention so private, that they're not things you can share with everyone. I have two daughters (one 14, one 19), but no nieces and nephews from my side of the family. Neither of my brothers had kids. I always wished for a big family with lots of siblings and then nieces and nephews, but it just didn't happen. On my husband's side there are two sisters and only one nephew (he has a little boy), so that side is very small, too. Maybe my girls will have a lot of kids and that'll bring on a big family in the next generation!Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-52342757877760344412012-02-04T11:36:53.345-05:002012-02-04T11:36:53.345-05:00Dear Jane,
