Hi Lesley. Hope you've had a lovely meet-up today and the rain kept off. I think the weather god knew we had invested in new garden furniture, the rain hasn't stopped since it arrived! See you tomorrow for month end. Xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Nature's way of rinsing off the transport dust! Lovely day, thanks, and hope you get to enjoy your new furniture soon xx

Ohhh the full bladder tests! Miserable, and these days I may not be able to contain myself lol. Your spun yarn is beautiful. My excitement this week was my neighbors pig emptied my garbage bin on the road and my driveway. Thank goodness my neighbor (not the pig owner) came home and had it all cleaned up before I got home. Ohhh I am so glad for that. Interestingly enough another person came by while Ms. Pig was still here and filmed her, my gosh she is as big as my garbage bin!!! Oh well, country living. Take care. Ms. Betty says hi.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Linda! What great neighbours you have, and what an adventure! Hi back to Miss B xx Hope all is well xx

[@susanneallan5310]

Good job with the Okanagan pronunciation. It is a beautiful part of the world. Have a lovely week and I shall look forward to your video tomorrow, even if it is shorter than usual.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Susanne. I have now finished something so will have one FO to show. Hope all is well xx

[@EPMunzert]

I'm not usually attracted to yellow and orange, but your spin is gorgeous! My favorite word is serendipity. It's nice to know I'm not the only crazy person who actually has a favorite word.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

It is certainly a good favourite word - most of us on the group had one too - we are not alone! Thanks and take care xx

Hi Lesley, gorgeous spinning. Love the sunny summer colours. We went to see Aladdin on Thursday evening. Went into Manchester early and what we saved on train fare we spent on an early meal out. Strange place. Lovely food, but they didn't have hot drinks! As we were cold and damp, a cup of tea was dearly needed. We ended up in McDonald's having a nice large cup after our meal. Aladdin was spectacular. In the top three of my theatre trips of all time. So much so we are going again early June! They had the magic carpet ride. No idea how they did it as the background was on show the whole time. As we was leaving we could hear the little ones talking about how did they find a real magic carpet. A lot of the little girls where dressed as Princess Jasmine and even a couple of Genies. Was so jealous and wished I could wear a Princess Jasmine costume, with sparkly tiara, of course! The whole audience was enthralled and engrossed by the performance. Also managed to crochet a drawstring bag for one of my granddaughters for her holidays. Mad rush finishing it yesterday before our son, her Daddy, finished work so he could take it too her. Stayed nearly on pattern, just different colours, in a do weight and extra granny stitch rows to make it taller. Was lovely to crochet again, but today I know I did too much yesterday. To be fair I would have rested more if it hadn't been on a time schedule. Hope up had a lovely meet up with Susan from the US. Any yarn purchases? Have a fabulous weekend. xxJane 🐑🌼

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Jane - I'm glad you had such an amazing time at the show - I hope you get to wear a Princess Jasmine costume when you go back! Hope the overdoing the crochet didn't have a long lasting effect. Take care and thanks so much xx

[@NadineTouzet]

Hi Lesley, you must have been quite relieved when the scan was over! 😅 So glad there was nothing wrong. Hope you’re having a nice weekend. Busy this side with significant birthday and Mother’s Day today, and violent showers, mostly when you’re out shopping without an umbrella or raincoat. My rug is almost done and it’s only garter stitch, I envy your talent. Have a great week, take care xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hello Nadine - happy birthday! Hope you had a great time, and for Mother's Day, too. Take very good care xx

[@lynnewatson2927]

Loving Monet's garden ❤. My favourite word is serendipity

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Lynne. Someone else chose the same word - which seems serendipitous? xx

[@jacquelinesharp7374]

I am so glad your ultrasound went well. I remember when I was pregnant with my son I had an ultrasound and was feeling very uncomfortable on the way. We took a the shorter way through the parking lot not realizing that there were at least a half dozen speed bumps that way. My husband laughed hysterically when he saw them coming. I didn’t laugh until much later.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Jacqueline - I was certainly trying to avoid potholes and speed bumps! Hope all is well with you. Thanks and take care xx

[@gingermolinero8386]

Adorable little puppy

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thank you - she does like to rule the place. xx

[@LindaNixon-ws4ge]

Loved your spun yarn.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thank you - I am pleased with the colours xx

[@joelwilliams5634]

Glad you got good results from your ultrasound. Poor poor Heidi looks so neglected what a cutie. Hope your visit is much fun.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Joel - Yes, poor Heidi - such a dreadful life! The visit was great fun, thanks. hope all is well with you xx

[@marywanamaker2700]

Have a great time! Enjoy your weekend 🧶😊

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Mary. Hope all is good with you xx

[@TheDaneYard]

Good luck with the tests results. Hugs! Marie Pickard

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Marie - everything is crossed. Hope all is well with you xx

[@sheryleclute836]

Hope all is well.. I totally understand your predicament..

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Sheryle - hope life is treating you kindly xx

[@stitchitch7010]

Hopefully you will have an answer soon. Belly issues are hard to diagnosis because so many share the same symptoms. 🤞 Princess Heidi looks like the sandman is luring her to the land of nod 🐾 Take care dearie😘

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - hoping to get further tests and answers soon. Heidi does like a snooze (just like her mother!). Thanks and take care xx

[@nancyalderdice1405]

Thinkiing of you❤️🇨🇦

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Nancy - much appreciated xx

[@karlamilton5281]

The ultrasound tech gave me the choice of pants first or bathroom first. Bathroom first please! 😅

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Karla - oh yes - bathroom first every time! Hope all is well xx

[@clare8199]

Love see that braid spun up. Going for a drop spin lesson today. Let's see if I get a new hobby 😂

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hiya. Hope the lesson was fun. Of course you need a new hobby...! Cheers xx

[@heathertucker7056]

Well sweet Heidi did not perform for her adoring public this week! I guess every star needs a bit of a break sometimes! Glad your ultrasound went OK I dread anything like that that involves a full bladder these days! Looking forward to month end podcast now. Take care x

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Heather - sorry to be so late answering - hope all is well with you xx

[@louisewall7100]

That braid is gorgeous. The colours are right up my street! Glad your scan went well. Lovely as ever catching up. Take care xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Louise. The colours are great, aren't they? Hope you are doing OK xx

[@knittingbandit8493]

You made me laugh as usual, lm glad everything is ok and where it should be big hugs xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - glad to raise a smile and hope all is well with you xx

[@dorothy2030]

I think Heidi just wanted a little nod there 😀xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Who can tell? She certainly didn't want my attention! Thanks and hope all is well xx

[@FirnMamaMakes]

❤❤❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much xx

[@suzanrudulph4141]

❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Suzan xx

[@niinaniemispelto2634]

Where's Heidi's waggy-wag tail?! 😮

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

I think she was feeling a bit left out, sadly,. But she will recover, I am sure. Thanks and take care xx

[@bonniebozec2400]

I hear your concerns about the prep for having a pelvic ultrasound. The last time I went for one my bladder was too full. To make things clear, I’ve never been an overachiever. The lovely tech told me that I had to get rid of about a specimen bottle full of urine.Let’s just say that was a fail. I had to drink another full glass of water. I was there another 30 minutes until my bladder was at the optimal level of fullness. I didn’t have your long journey though Leslie. I’m glad everything went well for you. I look forward to watching the months end podcast tomorrow.🌸🧶

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Bonnie. Oh my goodness - that sounds awful! How are you supposed to stop after a set amount? My journey wasn't long, but my goodness, it felt like it. Thanks and take good care xx hope all is well xx
