"Remember
that children, marriages, and flower gardens
reflect the kind of care they get."
H.
Jackson Brown, Jr.
The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so abandon the quarrel before it breaks out. He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord. Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, when he has no sense? A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. A man lacking in sense pledges, and becomes surety in the presence of his neighbor. He who loves transgression loves strife; he who raises his door seeks destruction. He who has a crooked mind finds no good, and he who is perverted in his language falls into evil. He who begets a fool does so to his sorrow, and the father of a fool has no joy. A joyful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones. A wicked man receives a bribe from the bosom to pervert the ways of justice. Wisdom is in the presence of the one who has understanding, but the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth. A foolish son is a grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him. It is also not good to fine the righteous, nor to strike the noble for their uprightness. He who restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is counted prudent.
Proverbs 17:14-28
And the Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

Scrap Yarn Ideas ...
We have 50!
do you have number 51?
48. Here's an idea my 7
yr old granddaughter thot of. I had so many small balls of yarn left over, as
many do. I've made quite a few scrap lapghans, baby blankets, etc with them,
I was tired of doing yet another one. She thot of putting them on a picture
frame. She loves to make chains out of the varigated colors. I had bought a
few of the inexpensive wooden frames and let the kids paint em. Then they all
made chains and trailed em loosely, curly, etc over each and around the frames
and made bows, circles and whatever on the bottom, top, corners, etc. glueing
em to the frames. They turned out just too cute. That's an idea you might like
to share.

49. If I have
long enough pieces, I use them for replacement strings for my blinds and light
pull chains, I usually chain the length I want it.
Donna from Yonkers, NY
50. I make
12 inch granny squares and have sent them to charitable orgranizations so they
can stitch them together as afghans to give to those in nursing homes or those
in hospice. I crocheted caps for children in the homeless shelter. Some are
multi-colored or solid but the kids loved them. The director was thrilled to
have caps to give the kids during the winter.

Hi, First of all I really enjoy the website and appreciate all of the patterns. I have a question about making the crochet rug. I want to make one for a friend, but it will go on a tile floor and I don't want it to slip around. Do you have any suggestions on how to make the bottom of it non-slippery? If the only thing I can do is attach it to a rubber mat, would that make it unwashable? (and how would you attach it, glue?) I have never found a pattern for a crochet rug that has a non-skid backing to it. Thanks for your help. Charlie
<< reply >>
There is a product available
in stores that is for placing beneath slippery rugs to keep them from moving.
It is similar to the rubber shelf liners but larger and commonly known as
"rug grips":

You can also purchase a spray called "Super Grip" that sounds like an easier way to keep rugs in place: http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/super-spray-rug-grip
HI LISA, I JUST WANTED
TO KNOW WHAT SIZE WOULD THE SKIRT BE?
THANKS. JEANETTE
<< reply >>
This can be made any size by repeating Rows 2 &3 of the Band till it fits the intended person. http://www.crochetnmore.com/schoolspiritskirt.htm
when a patteren tells you crochet in space before the next dc 2dc what does that mean. does that mean you dont go in the hole or next to it? thanks Vickie
<< reply >>
The "space" is normally
the hole below a series of one or more chains.
It can also be a space in between the posts of two stitches.
>>crochet in
space before the next dc
This means you work the indicated stitches in the space before the next double
crochet. Like I said before... this could be in a space below chains or in
between the posts of two stitches.
>>2dc what does
that mean.
Not sure about where the 2dc come in though.
I have been going through my Moms old patterns hoping to find patterns to crochet different types of flowers But found most have been destroyed by age or weather .

Your peonies are ahead of mine- They look beautiful, and so does the sunshine in your photo- I have a rainy day here, and you know that means my peonies will be lying on the ground!! I learned a great trick last year to enjoy peonies in the home. I had tried in the past, but you know how the ants are attracted to them, so some always came in, even though I thought I had searched the flower heads thoroughly. I had read that if you cut the flower, just before it is ready to burst into full bloom, not only will you be able to avoid the ants, but the flowers will blossom and last a lengthy stay in the home.

Hi Lisa On the new pattern "beaded anklet" couldn't you string the beads onto the thread first then begin your chain and then just pick up a bead as you need it? You wouldn't have to remove the loop from the hook that way. Deborah
<< reply >>
Yes, you could do that as long as you string enough beads for the project.
Re: Nano-Cozy
I don't see any errors but in row 2 you said: Ch1, do not turn. Sc in BL of ea sc around. What is BL?
<< reply >>
BL means the back loop.
Instead of crocheting in the entire stitch which is both loops on the top
of the stitch... you only catch or go through one of the loops when you do
each stitch.
The front loop (fl) is
the loop closest to you.
The back loop (bl) is the loop farthest from you.
This page offers photos of each:

I'm sorry you feel that
way.

I have to tell you about this new book.
SweaterBabe.com's Fabulous & Flirty Crochet
I'm so happy to have it in my crochet library.
Katherine Lee has an eye for style and a definite knack for creating beautiful
crochet patterns.
I was really happy with the large colorful project photos.
There's something for everyone!
The aspect of Fabulous and Flirty Crochet that stood out to me was the section
on the yarns used in the patterns.
One page shows "actual size" photos of the yarns which makes it super
easy to substitute other yarns if you want to.
For those who stay strictly to the recommended yarn in a pattern Katherine has
included a yarn resource list.
The projects are very fashionable and perfect for gift giving... though I'm
sure you'll have to make something for yourself :o)
I can't wait to try the Flirty Skirt and the Ruffled Strap Tank.

While flying from Denver to Kansas City, Kansas, my mother was sitting across the aisle from a woman and her eight-year-old son. Mom couldn't help laughing as they neared their destination and she heard the mother say to the boy, "Now remember -- run to Dad first, then the dog."
A boy was helping his mother
bring the clothes in off the line as a storm threatened.
As they brought in the last armload and closed the door, the boy waved his hand
at the heavens and said,
"Okay God! Let'er go!"
A woman walks in a store to return a pair of eyeglasses that she had purchased for her husband a week before. "What seems to be the problem, madam?"
"I'm returning these glasses
I bought for my husband.
He's still not seeing things my way."
A cowboy rode into town
and stopped at the saloon for a drink.
Unfortunately, the locals always had the habit of picking on strangers, which
he was.
When he finished his drink, He found his horse had been stolen. He went back
into the bar, handily flipped his gun into the air, caught it above his head
without even looking and fired a shot into the ceiling.
"Which one of you sidewinders stole my horse?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness.
No one answered.
"Alright, I'm gonna have another drink, and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I finish, I'm gonna do what I dun in Texas! And I don't like to have to do what I dun in Texas!"
Some of the locals shifted
restlessly.
The man, true to his word, had another drink, walked outside, and his horse
had been returned to the post.
He saddled up and started to ride out of town.
The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked,
"Say pardner, before you go...what happened in Texas?"
The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home."
The wife was busy frying
eggs, when her husband came home.
He walked into the kitchen and immediately started yelling.
"CAREFUL!!! CAREFUL! MORE OIL! TURN THEM! TURN THEM NOW! WE NEED MORE OIL! THEY ARE GOING TO STICK! CAREFUL! CAREFUL! TURN THEM! TURN THEM!!! HURRY UP! ARE YOU CRAZY! THE OIL IS GOING TO SPILL! USE MORE SALT! THE SALT!!"
The wife was very upset,
"What is wrong with you?
Why are you yelling like this? Do you think I don't know how to fry an egg?"
The husband calmly replied,
"I just wanted you to know what it's like for me when I am driving the car and
you're sitting next to me."
"It goes without saying
that you should never have more children than you have car windows."
- Erma Bombeck
At a local coffee bar, a young woman was expounding on her idea of the perfect mate to some of her friends. "The man I marry must be a shining light amongst company. He must be musical. Tell jokes. Sing. And stay home at night!"
An elderly lady overheard and said, "Honey, if that's all you want, get a TV!"
When the new patient was
settled comfortably on the couch, the psychiatrist began his therapy session.
"I'm not aware of your problem," the doctor said. "So perhaps, you should start
at the very beginning."
"Of course," replied the patient. "In the beginning, I created the heavens and the earth..."
A man pacing back and forth glanced at his watch and yelled upstairs to his wife, "Honey, are you ready yet?"
Shouting back, the woman replies, "For crying out loud, I've been telling you for the last half hour...I'll be ready in a minute!"
A strained voice called out through the darkened theater, "Please, is there a doctor in the house?!"
Several men stood up as the lights came on.
An older lady pulled her
daughter to stand next to her,
"Good, are any of you doctors single and interested in a date with a nice, girl?"
“What are you so happy about?”
a woman asked the 98-year-old man.
“I broke a mirror” he replied.
“But that means 7 years of bad luck.”
“I know,” he said, beaming. “Isn’t it wonderful?”

Boss: You got your hair cut on company time.
Susie: It grew on company time.
Boss: Not all that hair.
Susie: I didn't get it all cut.
