I'm Knitting?

 Hey everyone....how are you?  I have had a rough few weeks (what feels like months actually)....but I think I might be close to back at it?!?!  I actually knit this week......I know, right!


First....there was another baby shower for Paige and Kody...this one was at his aunt's house (his father's sisters put it on)....it was great!















I also bought some yarn!






I got yarn in for the February Shawl Club.




It was my dad's 87th birthday, so I had dinner at my parent's house last week....they made spaghetti with shrimp and veggies.....so yummy!




My sister gave me some farm fresh eggs.....



And this was my lazy butts this morning....Purl was actually under the covers.



Oh...and knitting you ask.......here is proof!  I started a sock for Kody....this is of course DK weight....





That is all I have.....have a great week!





Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

I seriously got nothing!

 Have you ever had a large amount of time go by where you did nothing?  Well, I feel like I have just let a year go by with nothing....but thankfully it was just a little over a week.  


I have been feeling really low and down lately and just.....exhausted!  I could not figure out why (I still can't completely figure it out).  I thought maybe my hormones were running out (since I get new pellets on the 14th)...and maybe it is part hormones, or part depression...but I did find out it was also part illness.  I started feeling really overly exhausted on Friday, but still worked out and went to work...but come Saturday morning and I was like....Nope, can't do any more.  I had a fever off and on all weekend....I slept all day Saturday and Saturday evening, then 3 naps on Sunday and all night Sunday, then worked 1/2 a day Monday and slept 1/2 the day Monday and slept all Monday night and today I am working all day, but needed a nap during lunch.  I am starting to feel a little better, but I just do not know how to get any energy!  This is ridiculous!


Needless to say, I have no knitting done, no crocheting done....pretty much nothing done.  I am considering being alive at this point a win.  


I missed Paige's Baby shower this past weekend at my Sister's house.  My family sent me a bunch of pictures, but here are the main pics of my beautiful daughter and her beautiful family!






My sister and BIL made a fabulous dinner after this and Paige brought me leftovers....my favorite steak my BIL makes....which I ate the next day....it deserved way more than the paper plate I had it on.



That is honestly all I have....sorry guys.  I am not sure I will have much more for you next week.  I just can't seem to get any energy into this old body.....pray for me!




Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

This is 52!

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I am great....yesterday was my 52nd birthday and Paige (and family) took me bowling and out to eat.  We had a fabulous time (even if I lost).  I did not get a picture at Olive Garden....but I picked italian and it was delicious!



I did some meal prepping this week....it wasnt terrible, but it wasnt the best either...LOL!



Jackson is doing okay, but he hates his cone....However, I caught a pic of his sleeping with is tongue stitcking out (Please excuse all the dog hair on the rug, I had not vacuumed for a couple of days but did not want to miss out on the pic), and one of him enjoying a little bit of the outside (I only let him out under supervision, because no running is allowed...yes, I know I need to mow..the chores never end).




My parents gave me some $ for my birthday and I happened to see this pic on Ravelry's home page....

This is Natalie's project....it appears she is the owner of knitting off broadway.  So I immediatley ordered the yarn with my bday $ and I am going to TRY to do this colorwork.  Wish me luck.





Other than that....I have been working on the 2nd girl blanket for Paige....her first baby shower is this coming Sunday, the 2nd of March, and then she has one on the 9th and one on the 16th.  Since she wants me to come to all of her baby showers, I want to have one blanket for each shower.  This one is finished (sans weaving in 2 ends)



That is about all I have this week.  Have a great week!

The Shin Bone is connected to the Thigh Bone!

 Hey everyone....do you remember that Skeleton Song Dance....or am I just aging myself:


Dem bones, dem bones, dem dancing bones.
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dancing bones.
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dancing bones.
Doin’ the skeleton dance.

The foot bone’s connected to the leg bone.
The leg bone’s connected to the knee bone.
The knee bone’s connected to the thigh bone.
Doin’ the skeleton dance.


Well, last week I told you that Jackson was limping...and he had a vet appointment the following day (Valentine's Day).....turns out he tore his CCL (the equivalent of an ACL in humans)....so his shin bone was no longer connected to any bone and vice versa.  :(


He had to have a TPLO surgery to repair it....my poor baby.  He has a 10-12 week recovery ahead of him.


Waiting at vet

I do not like my cone!


Mommy got me PJ's to give me a break from my cone:


I think this might leave a scar.....but it will be covered in hair!


Please send him so good healing vibes!


Darlene got me the most awesome bag for my birthday....yes, it is a bit early, but I love it.  It is called a Bogg Bag and you can get all sorts of accessories and stuff for it....I love it (and it is huge which is awesome)!  Thank you Darlene!





I got February's Yarn for the blanket club...I love this color!




I got some pom pom yarn I ordered on Amazon....ths is a little bit different than the all the Hershner's pom pom yarn I bought years ago....this one is actually thicker and fluffier!  Of course Paige needs a PINK pom pom blanket for her baby girl!




Elizabeth got me the cutest stitch stoppers that look like my baby, Flower!


That is all I have folks.....Have a great week!
