He is Risen! Happy Easter!

 Hey everyone!  Happy April and Happy Easter!

 I hope you had a fantastic Easter Holiday!  We went to Lupe's Niece's house and had a great time.  I cannot remember the last time I had a cascarone egg cracked on my head.  LOL!  I did not get any pictures, but Emily (Juan's girlfriend) did and she sent them to me.  I also have pics of Amira's Easter that I will put at the end of this post.

Last week, Brent's wife Brittny was in SA so we met her downtown and had some drinks.  It was great seeing her.  You can see that now that I have finished my lime green top, I am wearing it everywhere....LOL!

Paige said she really likes this lime green sweater so I ordered more yarn and started one for her.  I also have some pink yarn coming to make another for me.  This is one of my favorite sweaters to wear!

I ran out of yarn for the Petal of Flowers Shawl...I am waiting on more to be delivered today.

It was a short posting week so that is all I have.  I have yarn coming this week that I will post next week.  Have a great week.

Have a great week!

Here are the pics of Amira's Easter:

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Belated Easter!

Hi everyone!  I hope you had a fabulous Easter!  I stole this picture from Jimmy Beans Wool.....I thought it was so cute.

My Easter was very uneventful.  Antonio did spend the night Saturday night, and Paige came to pick him up in the morning so he could go home and see what the Easter Bunny brought him.  I got the grands some chocolate bunnies and chocolate eggs

I also had Paige's dogs.....so all the dogs got treats in the morning and Jaz monopolized my lap!

I got some new yarn for me from Yarn Circus.....I saw a shawl done in this colorway and feel in love....so I got some for matching socks.

I knit on my Vortex a little bit and got to a color change!

And I restarted those Taraxacum mitts in the Bussi colorway to support Anja:

The only other thing I worked on was the Moondrip test swoncho I told you about.....I changed up my colors one more time and Darlene and I are using the same colors.

That is all the knitting/yarny stuff I have for the week...but I do have some random pics from things that happened this week.

Antonio fell off a bike and scraped his knee

I found goldfish in the shape of Mickey Mouse....they are awesome!

and I mowed my yard and had my first rose of the Spring.  Now, I do not talk about this much....but my late husband planted this rose bush about 15-20 years ago....I have tried to kill this rose bush so many times mainly just because it is in the most awkard place (right on the fence line and by the AC unit) and sometimes over grows and gets to be too much to maintain...and I am not really a yard person.....however, it will not die....so I have stopped trying to kill it.....on Tuesday I was mowing the yard and saw the rose.....in the midst of mowing I snapped a pic and sent to Paige with no words.....I knew she would know what I was trying to tell her....and she did....it made her day!

Well, that is all I have.  Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Easter and Bon Voyage!

Hi everyone....I thought I would get in a quick post right before Easter and right before I leave.....so let me start with Happy Easter!

All week I only worked on one thing.....my socks for sock madness...and let me tell you, that there are tons of cuss words stitched into this duplicate stitching! 

And I finished and got them submitted and I am officially on to round 2!

These are going to be a gift for a friend on the cruise....I hope she likes them!  I have given then a soak and they are blocking as I type.

I got my fingernails done.....

Darlene and I had our toes done together.....

Now I just need to GO PACK!!!!!


Well, that is it for me.....I will see you guys in a little over a week with picture overload I hope!!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
