Overdue Post

Well it's been awhile since I last blogged. It has been busy around here. First let me start out by wishing you all a happy blessed weekend.

Remember I mentioned the crochet classes. We finally got together and what a hit it was. We sat, crocheted, and got to know about each other and ended up with a 4 hour session. They were making slip stitches and chains like pros by the time we left there. This coming week will be doing the single crochet and turning your work.

We also had our Enterprise Search Summit Tech show and I was there all 3 days. It went very well and I loved talking to all the folks that our company partners with and also our customers.

I have lots more to tell but am in a hurry again.

Hope you all are enjoying life and laughing lots.

More scarves?

My husband and I just got back from a mini vacation on Catalina Island, Avalon. We had a great time. We flew to LAX and took a catamaran to the island. That was about an hour and 10 minute ride. My first time on a boat since I was a kid. First boat ride I remember, lets put it that way, :). Then when we arrived on the island we headed for our hotel, which was a bit of a walk and at the top of a hill but we managed.

On Saturday we went on a 2 hour bus tour up to the "Airport in the sky". That is what they call their little private airport. Only small planes land/take off there, no big jets allowed. The view was stunning. I will share pictures in another post and tell you more about the trip as well. To be continued........

Below is a few more scarves I made for the challenge. My total now is 11. I made the two red ones on the plane rides there and back from LA. I had a lady at the airport comment on how crocheting was a dying craft. It made me sad but I think it is getting better.

On that last note, while I was on the island Loreen called me. Thats the lady that I met at Wal-Mart and asked if I would teach her and her daughter how to crochet. I was so excited!!! I will call her sometime this week to make arrangements for us to get together.

Well this post turned out longer than I wanted it to be. I will be back to share some pictures from our trip with you. Posted by Scarlet at 9:05 AM 3 comments: 
The scarves continue

Here are 3 more scarves that I made for the challenge. The blue and white one will go to the Special Olympics as that is the colors they have requested. I will be making more of then with those colors. I really have nothing else to say except that I am excited about teaching the lady I met last night how to crochet. I hope she calls me.

Posted by Scarlet at 5:53 PM 7 comments: Me, a Teacher? also Special Olympics Scarves

I'm sure that you all know that the scarves this year for the Special Olympics are to be a specific color. Those colors being, Red Heart Super Saver in the colors white and Delft Blue. Well I have white on hand in my stash but no blue. I knew I needed some so I ordered 3 skeins from the yarn group that I order from and just found out last night that they did not have the Blue.

Last night after dinner and the fact that we were so close to Wal-Mart I decided to stop in. They had 4 skeins left of the blue that I needed so I bought them all. After getting to the register and waiting in line it got boring. Well, then this woman stands behind me and starts asking me questions.
"Do you crochet or knit?" Crochet. "Is it hard to learn"? "I know this seems weird but would you teach me?" My daughter would also love to learn, I would gladly pay for your services. I told her that I would be honored to show her and her daughter. I then whipped put my business card, handed it to her and we shook hands and the ball is in her court now. Her name is Laureen, and she seemed so excited about the idea. I will keep you posted.

I am so excited too, that will surely give me a crochet buddy. Lets hope she gives me a call.

60 Scarves Challenge

Here is a photo of the scarves that I finished this weekend for the 60/90 day at Crochet with Dee.I will get link up for you as son as I can.

Happy hookin'!!! Posted by Scarlet at 11:16 PM 4 comments: 

Yes, the Scarf Challenge from Crochet With Dee, 60 scarves in 60 days has begun. I am going to get going on some scarves tonight. The scarf/scarves must be created by hand between September 1st and November 31st, 2008, midnight, eastern time, to count. (They actually increased the days to 90 so more scarves can be created this year, but we're going to keep the challenge title the same since it's kinda catchy, easy to remember.) So lets make this year the best year ever and warm up America!!! Posted by Scarlet at 8:43 AM 5 comments: 
Chihuly Sculpture

One of the blogs that I read daily is Go Crochet with Ellen by crochet designer Ellen Gormley. One of her recent posts had a photo of a sculpture created by glass artist Dale Chihuly. When I seen this post I recognized his work immediately. I had just gotten back from my doctors office at the El Camino Medical Center in Mountain View, CA and every time I went there I would see this beautiful glass sculpture hanging from the ceiling in the main lobby on the second floor. That very day I snapped a few pictures with my iPhone to share with my husband, it is "THAT" amazing to look at. I had no idea that I would come home and read Ellen's blog to find out that I had seen his work in person. What a wonderful discovery and thank you Ellen. If not for your post I would have never known or thought to ask about it. Below is a photo I took and the link to his web site. Make sure that you click on the photo to view a larger picture. The detail is amazing. His other works can be viewed here at his web site. Dale Chihuly
