Comfortghan done

I finished the comfortghan I was making...this thing is HUGE...it is done in 10 inch squares 6x8. I did a round of Single Crochet in white, then joined them together with Single Crochet, then did 3 rows of Single crochet, and 3 rows of Double crochet around for the border....
I am still trying to find a box big enough to mail it in...Not even the biggest priority box will work. I sure hope I have enough money to mail it. my mom was going to help, but I do not think she knew it would cost probably at least $10 if not more to mail....OH well I wanted to do this, and I did it and I WILL mail it....I am not sure if the recipient reads this blog, so I can not go into too much detail, til I know she received it.


This is how my babies fell asleep tonight. They are still recovering from colds, and I think our time outside, today, was not such a good idea, because now we have taken a couple of steps back....BUT it was too nice of a day to stay in....I even cooked some pork steaks on the grill.

We got an offer today, we have to discuss it, and see if it is best for our family. It would consist of moving out of state, and in with someone we do not know....I would help out with the household duties and gardening and such, and have a crafting buddy. Jack would probably have an easier time getting work. SO we have some soul searching to do...Otherwise still no news...We did talk with the land lady, while outside, and I let her know what we told about even after becoming homeless that we would still need a Court ordered Eviction to get any help, so I think she was going to get Bob to do it...if that is the case, that gives us a little more time, because even after the courts orders us out, they usually give 30 days....

I do believe I am not going to finish the cloths I was making to replace the ones that sold...I am getting very sleepy.......It sure will be nice to go to bed before 3 a.m.

Hug the ones you love and pray for those you don't............

Good luck with your decision. I know it's difficult to make such a drastic change. Of course being homeless would be a drastic change too. Will the job still be there in a month? If so, then you have time to sort it out. If you just want to make sure you're not jumping from the frying pan into the fire, check the family out that you are considering as an employer.

Wow your ghan is huge and so very nice. The recipient is a lucky, lucky person. Hope your decision is not rushed by the fact that you don't have enough time to decide properly. Hope the kids were just tired from the fresh air. And wanted to say that you shop is getting full of lovely things.

Wendy that looks great. Check the grocery store for a box. Gosh I have a ton, lol wonder how much it would cost for me to mail you an empty box???

Sandie said...

That is funny because coincidentally I just mailed my son a box containing another empty box for him to mail me something back. He doesn't have access to a post office. It cost me $14 since I had to include the postage on the other box as well. I went with a flat rate box. I don't think they have those big enough for this ghan though. Grocery store is a good idea or an office supply store perhaps. Post office has free priority boxes, but it will cost a lot to mail, probably more than $10 as it is by weight. Do you know how much it weighs? Get on a scale alone, then get on scale holding the ghan. That might give you an idea.

Oh for my pkg I included certified and return receipt, so that upped the cost. I know that sounds strange, but we've had trouble with him getting mail and it was important for him to get it.
