updated me

Mom told me to read the fine print. I missed this totally first time around. Well gonna have to make up for that.

Let's see where to begin. I live in the same town I was born in. In fact never moved out of the county. Hey that's over 60 years. Just a little, but still over.Married for 38 years to Ken. Graduated Indiana State University 11 years ago. Substitute teacher for all grades all subjects.We have 7 kids, 5 homemade and 2 storebought. We're grandparents to Matt and Jillian.We have 1 kid still in college, 3 married, 1 special needs and 1 x-ray tech, 2 teachers, and one looking for job in communications field.I discovered swapping a couple years agol.Great fun, no matter what.

Favorite Crafts

Right now I'm still heavily into knitting socks. Last summer I couldn't get enough purses knit to satisfy everyone. I love all colors except dark ones. Old eyes are different than young ones. It's true. I'm there. I really like things that are mindless, so that I can do other things at the same time. I'm not that old after all I guess. 7 years ago I was quilting. Now my yarn stash has taken over. I still have an unbelievable stash of fabric. I'm going to be an instructor at the JOANN's in Terre Haute.

kids

My kids are really great. However I should have had 27 to keep up with my sock knitting.Let's see that would be 58 feet And if they all were married it would be 112 feet and had 2 kids..Well maybe I had better quit while I'm ahead.

The math=Ken and I only count once. Every child becomes a pair, that would be 4 feet.

Favorite Crafts

Just a little non knitting stuff. I started making fitted diapers for Matt over the weekend. In fact, Todd was so impressed that he took two back home with him Saturday. I'm using t-shirts and sheets and velcro. See I'm always learning.

Matthew is here

We have a beautiful new grandson, Matthew Carleton Whitesell as of 4/10/08 Full head of hair and weighed in at 10 pounds and an ounce. First one!!They're coming home July 1, 2008. We've already been there twice but there's so much family that hasn't seen him. All I can say is that he ought to sleep real well.

swaps

I recently hosted my first swap-Quilted Fabric postcard.Fanfare!! I am so proud of the group. Not one no send.Aren't they terrific? I think so.Think I'll do it again. Hey I got on the top 10!! WOW!! Also not A no send in the bunch!!

swap again

If you go to my blog you can see a picture of the purse that wasn't that I received from my partner. Not one no send in the whole group! I'm so proud! Now if they would post pics.

flakers

The last swap I did Shabby Chic purse had 2 nosends. One of them was so enthused about the swap and then was suspended. Sometimes life happens but I for one would appreciate some warning. Kimh might be out there somewhere but not swapping. Then there is reachmichellee, whatever happened to her I haven't the foggiest, I do however wish them and theirs good health. Oh and watch out for chuckholes. They can throw you.

COSTA RICA...

On the 19th of June, we celebrated 38 years together. Last December our dil #2 decided to take us to Costa Rica!! What a trip!! Hostels for the whole trip!!

Jillian Lane arrived...

We have a grand-DAUGHTER as of June 12!! She weighed in at 8 lbs and an ounce! Dark hair and a peaches and cream complexion.!! Whoa baby! Everyone is fine, now. Great thing is they're in town!! Everyone should be so blest!! Wow, one of each! Have to change my pic!!

Comment: Card came through mostly unscathed-- just a thin layer of the paper on the front got peeled away and curled up in the bottom right corner.

"We have 7 kids, 5 homemade and 2 storebought."

That analogy made me laugh! That sure is a lot of kids, but it's good to see that they're going out and reaching goals =)
