1st annual BANDSTOCK

[DeLarla 22]

I've had a guitar for 15 years but still can't play it! We also have a bunch of electric guitars and amps. I took lessons years ago, but time to actually learn something other than a really bad, bad, bad rendition of Tequila Sunrise.

I found out on Christmas Day that my Aunt teaches crochet classes at Tall Mouse (crafts store) here in my area so after the first of the year I am going to go and take her classes..

Becky,

You said your half way thru a hat. then next ppost you said your starting on on the right foot. Won't that make it a sock your working on???

[Rebeccalee 2]

Lisa, it sounds like you have a headstart. That's great! You'll have to entertain at the next bandster bash.

And Michelle -- Way to Go! You'll be making hats in no time! That's an added bonus that your aunt teaches the class.

OK Greg! I see your hands are not too busy, but your mind is working overtime!

Yup... I'm working on yet another quilt... finished a bunch of little quilting projects and got the itch to do something bigger. I have the top finished... and working on building a stash with all of the quilting sales going on. I'll take a pick unless I totally screw it up when I do the actual quilting part. I joined a wool club as well... first project was a wee hooked rug... pretty cute but wouldn't want to start another expensive hobby!

I wouldn't jump to conclusions about Greg's hands... perhaps he is overhauling an engine or something like that.

[Rebeccalee 2]

I hear ya, Darcy, about the expense of starting new projects. I'd love to do some quilting, but time and money are not there right now. Maybe later. Does your wool club do various projects or just latch-hook? Sounds like fun. I'm hoping to find a knitting group around here, but it's a pretty rural area, so I don't know if there is one.

I'm sure Greg has other hobbies, but I think he's best at teasing.

[nightingale2u 42]

Nope... they do a different type of wool project every month... the next one is a wool snowman that is meant to be framed as a picture... it's flipping adorable. I love making the quilts... but it is nice to have the variety of different things thrown in.

My sister just took up knitting... I am absolutely sure I am not talented enough to knit!

Hmmmm... Greg.... what do you do to keep your hands busy?????

[lapbander081004 7]

Hmmmmm

Well I'm not to sure I'd want to answer that question ladies. But I do know My Pashish Priest has got to be tired of me saying "Bless me Father for I have sinned".

[New Hope 37]

Wow, you talented bunch! I just need to stick with something and finish it! Becky, did you know your crocheted hat can double as a two-handed hand warmer when you forget your gloves? Very soft and snuggly!

[GeezerSue 7]

To keep my hands busy, I'm working my way through a box of See's candy. I'm thinkin' it's not such a good thing.

[Rebeccalee 2]

I finished the pie and Fritos today, and threw out the Cookies. That kept my hands pretty busy. :nervous Now maybe I can concentrate on knitting. Unless you can send me some of that See's candy.< /p>

[nightingale2u 42]

LOL Greg...

Now... I know that Sue is tough... but... all of us together could probably take her??? Okay... on the count of three... 1... 2...
