Good morning, everyone. <br />
   What a talented bunch- from sewer&#39;s to gardeners  to great cooks. We really run the gamut, don&#39;t we? By the way, Cheryl, the squares and rectangles are knitted or crocheted. As long as the rectangles are 7 X 9, it doesn&#39;t matter. We do them for Warm Up America. There&#39;s probably a group in your area. They even have a WArm Up America website, if anyone is interested. <br />
   Cheryl, The shirt and skirt are amazing. You must feel great that you did it completely on your own. I wouldn&#39;t even attempt something like that. All I can do on the sewing machine is a straight line. <br />
    Spikesgirl, I do crazy quilting. It doesn&#39;t require any talent whatwsoever, just time and effort. I did one for my living room wall. In fact, I posted it here under a topic about hobbies . I &#39;ll try and bump it up so you can see. <br />
    Keith and Rita, Wow, building a new home by a lake. Certainly sounds romantic to me. <br />
Eveyone&#39;s recipes sound super. I&#39;m really looking forward to trying some of them. But first, I must take off a few pounds to start. Everything is tight on me . Well, today is MOnday, new start. Gotta be extra good so I&quot;ll fit into my clothes for upcoming cruise in 3 weeks. <br />
     Crazies, have a wonderful day. To eveyone who is under the weather, please feel better. I&#39;m just getting back into crocheting after 21 years and I must say, it does take your mind off yourself. It really helped to have that to do when I hurt my back last week. Be good to yourself, eveyone and do something today that really makes you happy. I think I&#39;m going to combine some walking with some ipod music and enjoy a beautiful sunny day here in So. Florida. I&#39;m going to leave my cleaning, laundry and everything. It will still be here when I get back, right??? Talk later.  <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':biggrin:' /> <br />
     P.S. Please don&#39;t be upset with me for not mentioning each member individually . I know if I tried to do that, I&#39;d leave someone out accidentally and I don&#39;t want to take a chance with that. So, please understand. Hugs to eveyone. Cheryl
