Sweet Sparrow, this is the one I knitted for a friend who loves Tweety Bird. I'm an intermediate/advanced knitter and this one gave me brain freeze! It's not that it's difficult, it's only knit/purl stitches but it's a proctological nuisance since every row is different, no pattern you can sink your teeth into and just knit along....and I took out those two little supposedly "feathers" on the top of his head...I thought they looked dorky.

But no, it's not hard, you just have to pay REAL close attention. It did turn out perfectly, though..
Try one of those spiral ones...they're so much fun and you'll learn how to knit short rows, too!! It's a fast knit, too!
They make cute little gifts, too...
This one's easy and turns out so cute...I'm not much into variegated yarns, but it does work with this one...http://foothillsofthegreatsmokymount...-cloth_25.htmlLast edited by Lynn49; Thu, Aug 27th, 2015 at 02:07 PM.

Popped into Giant Tiger at lunch quick since I decided Burgers on the bbq would be great for dinner tonight! (since we have buns. honey is going to make the awesome potato wedges he makes and the kids love them) So spent $14.61 on burgers (12pk) mini carrots, coffee cream, 2 frozen burittos (Reg $1 on for 50 cents each) for my teen when he is hunting for something to eat late at night. 18 pk eggs $3.67. Will be buying more burger patties I think since they are just beef (not a lot of additives) and it would cost me more at this point to buy beef and make my own. Will still look for beef sales since we love making our own but this will have to do for now.

Aw, Coupon Girl, it must be tough being away from your Daughter; mine is 37 and she's still my baby, even though she's a Wife and Mother. I'm blessed that this house she bought is about 3 blocks from where we lived, and where they live now, and she knows that if they move, we move! Lol....thank goodness we have phones and cell phones so that we can call and chat and text them anytime...I'm sure you two make good use of those toys, too! Texting is just like holding hands...touching base, knowing they're still with us. Or. You could just move!
Almost done here...poor Jenny...she knows that when her Daddy is packing up the van we'll be going to camp and she's at the window and door whining all the time. I swear we could put her in the van to wait for us for an hour and she'd be happy doing just that! LOL!!
Have a wonderful weekend with your family and kids, everyone and take some time off from your frantically productive lives to ... what was the saying Nat posted this morning... Rest, Release, and Relax.

SA-good for you taking a 4 day weekend! I had a friend who told me you should work to live rather than living to work which I found to be good advice. Her husband is Italian and I think in Europe there is perhpas more time for socializing in the evenings etc with family and friends. Anyway her saying stuck with me and when I did work I did not bring my work home( except maybe once a year) and I also tried not to take too much home stuff to work. The separation and definition of work and home helped me find some balance but might not for everyone else. Of course I still had plenty of TGIF's!

@Lynn49 -- My dog is a whiner too! We took her to the park with us the other day and DS brought a friend so we just sat on the bench with the dog while the boys were off playing. She whined while she watched him run around the park. She whines at the window when she sees someone coming in that she knows (but barks for strangers especially the joggers that run by!) Love that she loves us

CG-you sound just like us-DH and I share one cell phone( dumb phone not smart phone!) for emergencies or whoever is out in the car at $10.50 per month. We don't text either! Even with a teen we just email from our computer or phone her on her smartphone.

Not so frugal day I'm finding out. Front load washing machine has a small tear in the rubber seal. And this machine is not even two years old! Has anyone here has this issue and fixed it themselves?

The pears are all laid out on a sheet of plywood in Logan's old room, I will check them daily and turn as needed if needed. Dh has slept most of the day away. So it seems that Monday will be our Costco trip for propane refills, indoor shoes for Logan for school and a surprise of new "football cleats" for Jaden...sigh. I will post his old ones for sale once new ones have been purchased or maybe earlier.
I ordered an xbox1 remote from the source for .96, with taxes a grand total of $1.08, eldest will be getting an xbox1 from my parent for his birthday so this remote will be for his Christmas stocking.
I also purchased 2 addidas shirts from sportchek for youngest they are 1/2 price so $30. for 2 shirts, I normally don't buy name brand clothing, however, the WM kids shirts don't last.
I rec'd my old navy order yesterday, need to send back both pairs of pants as Logan does not like them.
QUESTION ABOUT OLD NAVY RETURNS, do I need to call them and let them know what I am returning and I have the return sticker but does it have to go to the post office or is mailbox okay?
thanks2019 is the year that we continue to save before we buy!!!

I thought I was the only one that didn`t have a smart phone. I have a flip phone for emergencies. It totally bugs me when I`m out with a friend and she keeps checking her phone and texting her daughter. Does she really need to know that she is on her way to Kitchener at 2:00 when they saw each other 3 hours earlier?

Size of my cloths... I never measured! I use a size 7 or 8 needle (whichever is project free) cast on 3 stitches increase each row by one until I reach either 48 or 53 stitches...decrease down to 3 again and cast off. Some are "smaller" which work wonderfully for narrow glasses and kids cups others are larger. It really depends on my mood or who gets it how big they are. Grandma makes her own big ones but likes my small ones for glasses.
I also do one where for 10 rows of 10 stitches include tulle with my cotton to make a scrubbing centre.
