This will be so much fun to make! I may make several! I got started at work today but didn't bring enough red or any fill so I will pick it up again tomorrow. I think my DH will love this little guy!

My goodness! That was fast! Yours is so adorable!!!! I ran out of red here at work and forgot to bring more. Hopefully I'll remember tomorrow so I can finish him up!

Ok, how come when I stuffed mine you can see the stuffing? I always have such a problem getting things stuffed right! :think

Mimi, he's adorable! I haven't even started mine yet, I've got a couple other things I need to finish up first. I think I'm going to give mine to the daughter of a dear friend for her birthday. That's not until March, so I've got a little while yet.

I've already printed this. I've got a whole bunch of white and red cotton in my stash, so I was going to make a bunch for my co-workers (47 teachers and staff!!!!) So, I'm up for it.

I'll keep posting a running total as I go.

I was really surprised at how fast it works up. I am not totally done with mine yet, but he (she?) is stuffed, with a nose sewn on. The rest should go pretty fast. What do you all think about giving one of these to your brother? Just to let him know you care? I was going to send one to my brother with some homemade candy (if I ever get the stuff to make any, that is.... I might end up buying some...) Anyway... :shrug

This is funny cause I check before I leave home to go to work to see the post and I fell in love with it and printed it out and brought some pink and peach yarn to work with me. I am gonna make it also . I have to buy the fill anyway to finish up some projects at home. I am here . with ya donna:cheer

p.s I am kind of air headed today cause I thought you ladies were talking about the heart . I did the love bug the other day

Mine is almost done. I bought the pipe cleaners last night for the antenna but have one more arm to finish then attach the eyes and it'll be done. I made a boo-boo and made the whole love bug in Red Heart Super Saver but used the pink parts in Simply Soft (not a good idea!) my wings are folding and not sitting correctly. Oh well, it's the thought that counts!

How are everyone's love bugs coming? Valentine's Day is tomorrow!!! Let's get stitching! (All I have to do is attach the eyes and antenna)

I also loved that little "heart" guy with the hair! He is sooooo cute!

Mine is finished, I've been keeping him up away from the kids. I wanted to make my own chocolate hearts to put one or two in his 'hands', but it doesn't look like I am going to make any until next payday or so... Anyway here he is:

Wow! Yours is adorable! I should have used larger eyes for mine but wasn't thinking and got itty bitty ones... My DH still loves it though, no matter how pathetic it looks! I have to buy batteries for my camera tonite and hopefully will be able to post pics then!

:( No fair. . . My 8 year old fragged my OS and had to reinstall windows. And my ME disk was scratched. . . Took me 2 days to find the old 98 CD. . . I missed the FIRST thing that I'd have liked to try :(

I'd ask for a copy, but that would get me smashed with the Great ModHammer. . .

Just a suggestion: Try taking your ME disk to one of the myriad Game stores, such as Gamestop, and ask them if they'd run your disk through their "polishing" or cleaning machine. it's supposed to remove any scratches and make games playable. It should work for OS disks too. Worth a try anyhow.

OR.. you could see this as the right time to upgrade to windows2000. It's a lot more user friendly than ME. :) Glad to have you back online in anycase.

Next time I go to the "Big City" (I live in the boondocks. nothing here but miles and miles of nothing but miles and miles!) I'll try that! And I just checked my system, and I can run XP. It's very game-friendly, so I'm going to go with that. Of course, I really need to upgrade when Vista comes out. . . ;) This computer is so out of date anyway. . . :angry

XP SAYS it can run on 128 of RAM, but is MUCH MUCH better with 256 or more.. Just to let you know. I do computer tech support, and while I don't know everything (my boss is much better than I), we don't install xp on systems with under 256 of ram unless the client insists. Just a FYI... and ram is relatively cheap, and easy for almost anyone to install.. but DO go with a name brand like crucial or kingston.. (the offbrands will cause heartache in the longrun).

back to your regularly scheduled crochet.......

I have 255 :think. That's what I have under My Comp properties. I know there's 256 because I installed half of it myself :)

I don't do tech for the public, but when family has an issue, either I or my hubby do the walkthrough. . . people who think their Brand New computer does not have a hard drive. . . . and can't install from an autorun cd. . . :(
