Yarn, yarn a barn full of yarn - almost

Well, I am cleaning my yarn room again.  Once again it has become a kinda treasure hunt.  In addition to sorting out yarn, I am sorting socks. "Sniff,sniff" I guess I don't have to sort, just throw them in the laundry.  How did smelling socks get into the middle of my yarn stash?  Your guess is almost as good as mine!  I probably slipped them off when i was sitting in my recliner and they kinda fell into one of my project bags which eventually became a UFO tossed in my yarn room.
  This "kinda" reminds me a little second grader I taught many years ago.  His name was Phillip.  I stepped just outside of the classroom containing about 50 second graders.  I gave them an assignment (I had to pee really bad).  When I got back there was my tall treasure, Phillip.  he was standing at the blackboard with chalkdust all over his face.
  "Phillip, how did you get chalkdust all over your face?" I asked.  "I kinda fell on the eraser." he said.
   Next treasure were two books, one about GHOSTS by James Van Pragh, and another a biography of Abraham Lincoln.  Was I going to crochet the ghost of old Abe?  With me, you never know.
  A more pleasant surprise was the money, so far $2.25 enuf to buy another skein of yarn on sale.  Do I need another skein of Yarn?
  I just asked some crocheters to come and relieve me of a few large, container-store size, bags of yarn and embroidery floss.  Thank god for friends who like yarn.  I am still in the process of cleaning tho, and found more to-go's after they left.  I am going to bring the extra yarn to a retirement home in Northbrook.
  Well I'm off to do more treasure hunting-- what will I find next..
  OH P>S>  I found a few pink elephants, too.  2 B continued.

DD not DUI

My crocheted Pinky No Drinky has taken on an additional form - that of a pin-on button. The person wearing the Pinky button will NOT drink or be served alcholic beverages because he or she is the Designated Driver of the crew. The only Pink Elephant the Driver will see is on the button. Wearing PINKY is a pledge to safely drive everyone home. Designated Driver eliminates Driving Under the Influence and saves lives. DD not DUI.
Pinky No Drinky is the creation of me - Dorothy P. Schmidt - in memory of my brother, Frank J. Schmidt who died from alcoholism.
These buttons are for sale.

Media Technology

I am taking a course at NEIU called Media Technology. It is for teachers. I am not currently teaching, so I have been applying the information to other areas. One area, of course, is crocheting. In this course I create music using the MAC, garage band, I tunes, create slide shows, a video, and learn a lot. One assignment is to create a flyer. I created a flyer about Pinky No Drinky, the little pink elephant I designed and crocheted. I never got it off the ground as a project even tho I still think it is a worth while project. The person in the group who holds Pinky is the obvious designated driver - and Pinky No Drinky is the only pink elephant that person will see.

I will write out the pattern later.
