Karla I think your hair looks very pretty, it looks very soft. All your whips are pretty. The colors of your crochet things are beautiful. That’s a good idea to make the kids scarfs-I’m pretty sure they will use them!!! You should make sweaters for the dogs!!! Lol. I love to see your crocheting. Have a good week Karla.

I really like the fabric with the background! I would be so scared to use it but its perfectl!!! I love it.

It just dawned on my as you were showing your new throw. I made an afghan years ago that were octagons of Tunisian Crochet (called the Afghan Stitch then). The octagons were sewn together after they were cross stitched on. The cross stitch was done in lighter weight yarn. It was very 80s-ish in style, and I don't think I have a picture of it anymore. I gifted it to a family member who loved it and used it constantly. It was a fun project to work on; it's nice to see the technique come back up again. 🪡👠

Karla you look and act happier now that you have a room mate and have someone to interact with on a regular basis away from work. Glad you are getting more settled.

I just watched all your Thanksgiving cooking shows again, are you going to do any more since you moved

Is that a radio on in the background or TV, it’s a bit distracting when I’m trying to listen to you. I hope I didn’t come across rude, just thought I would say something.
