First day of School for Big Brother!

 Hey everyone! I hope you had a great weekend.  I did, but it was too short.

I finished the last min crochet blanket and took to baby shower on Friday evening

and Sean and Leilan's shower was yesterday....they loved the blanket I made them

Antonio started school last week......Sister Amira was not a fan of day one pictures.

but she lovese the rabbit her brother got her

I got my prize yarn from the Teemant Shawl.....this yarn is gorgeous and so soft....the pics do not do it justice!

I ordered yarn to make Amira a Bluey....she loves the cartoon.  It will not be as amazing as her rabbit, but I am sure she will still like it.

My hummingbird, whom I have named Ziggy, loves my feeders where he can sit down....he has become quite lazy (as do all my pets....LOL)! I have 4 feeders, but his favorites are the ones with a place to sit and eat.  PS, I am certain I have more than one humming bird come and drink....but they are all called Ziggy....LOL!

I finally got to work on my Wilfreda (it has been neglected)

and I am catching up on the test knit.

Lastly, I got gorgeous flowers from Lupe

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Lakehouse weekend!!! Yahoo!!!

Hey everyone.....sorry I am late getting this up by a day...but this past weekend was the lakehouse weekend and well, yesterday I was recouperating from too much fun....LOL!

I have tons to tell you and pics to upload, so strap in....here we go!

First, I think I mentioned that Lupe and I are going hiking at Los Maples State Park next month, so we did some more walking to get ready for our hiking excursion.  We have seen so many deer and even a venomous snake....yikes!

I got some yarn in for Brigit's Advent Stole test knit along with beads

Speaking of Brigit, she got the socks I made her and they fit!!!  yahoo!

And Darlene and I ordered yarn to make a Wilfreda just like Jennifer is making.....Madtosh Caligraphy sock yarn (in the middle) and the Knitting for Olive mohair on the left (because the Madelinetosh Impression yarn that Jennifer is using is discontinued).

Paige sent me some amazing pics of the kiddos....I love these two!!

And, while I was gone, Lupe cleaned up the shed and found a box of pictures I thought I had lost....look at how much Amira looks like Paige (Paige on right, Amira on left).

He also made some delicious ribs!

And, Tami taught me how to make Sourdough while we were at the lakehouse.....this my first loaf. It was a bit flat for lack of banneton, but it was delicious.  I had purchased a sourdough kit, but did not take the banneton to the lakehouse.

I think most of you know we leave a gift for my sister and BIL when we use the lakehouse....well this year all the sewing gals made this gorgeous wall hanging....

and Tami, Darlene and I got Jim this special edition Johnnie Walker collection

My sister's gift is her Ledberg......while at the lakehouse I ONLY worked on the Ledberg for my sister.  I wanted to leave it there as a gift for her, but I just was not gonna make it, so I will finish it and mail it to her.

Yesterday was her birthday and both Grace and Sean were in town with their significant others (Grace's boyfriend is Josh) and then next to Sean is Kaylee.....a good friend of Grace's

Darlene bought both her and myself a 40 ounce Hydrojug.....I LOVE mine.  Thank you Darlene! 

I also got myself a beautiful Kiwi Kisses (name of the polish) pedicure before I went.

Well, that is all I have.....here is Lakehouse picture overload!

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
