Will this be my year of more FO's?

 Hey everyone.  How are you?  I am doing great!  I realized the other day that January is not even over and I have completed 5 things already.  Okay, Okay, two were only pot holders, but two were full sweaters.

Here are my first 4 items:

 and this past Saturday I knit a new hat for Lupe.  He might have washed his last beanie and it shrunk a bunch....LOL!

Here is the blocked version of Darlene's sweater

I have gotten a lot of work done on this all pink hugs and kisses blanket

and I pulled out my 4 corners baby blanket and finished color 2 and started color 3.

Lupe was able to fix the pipe leak....Thank you Lupe!!  When I asked him to go to the store to get more bottled water, he not only came back with water, but with flowers for me.  This man is amazing!

He also came home Sunday from work with cinnamon roll centers and this beautiful balloon!  <3

Lupe made me some great salads this past week.....and, my BIL had a birthday and he and my sister went to a cooking class for his birthday.  I thought they looked so cute, I had to share

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Congrats Grace and Sean!

Hey everyone!  How are you?  How was your past week?  Mine was good....not great, but good.  This coming week Jaime and I are going to the ROT Rally in Austin....I think ZZ Top is performing Saturday, so we may go to that too.   I will be taking knitting, but it will be light knitting since it will be sooooo hot outside....not sure how much knitting will actually get done :)

This past week I finished Paige's hat (I was super close to finishing last time I blogged).

I also worked on my mommy's socks

I worked a touch on my Augusta Shawl (crochet) and my "Double" Nuvem......yes, I pulled out my Nuvem because I am thinking of taking this to the ROT Rally.....Its a nice and mindless knit!

This week Grace (my niece) Graduated and Sean (my nephew) got his driver's license!  Congrats Grace and Sean!

Grace with my mommy and daddy!

I also had Jaz and Antonio this past weekend

Well, that is all I have this past week.....I hope you all have an amazing week ahead!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Slow and Steady Wins the Race

Hey everyone....how are you?  My funk is not 'gone' but it is much, much better, so I am getting there slow and steady.

I have still been walking/running on the treadmill every day...I think I have done it for 13 out of the last 14 days....not bad!

My watch does not know what to do with itself.....it is going crazy with praise.

As far as knitting....I actually have some to show.....

I finished Paige's cowl....I gave it to Darlene to block, and forgot to take a picture of it before I gave it to her, so I'll have to wait till next week to get a picture of it.

My mom had a small out patient surgery last week, so I decided to get her socks started on work on them while I was at the hospital with her.

I also worked a little here and there on my Harry Potter socks.

And I pulled out a hat I started in 2014 for Paige and started working on it again....I want to get this finished this week!  The first picture is the picture of where it was when I left it alone in 2014...the 2nd picture is where I got to this week.

Lastly, I got a little caught up on my temperature blanket....not totally caught up, but I got to the 12th, so I am only about a week behind still....I am about 4 days away from being able to use my 'red' colorway for the first time.....I am hoping to catch up either during the week or this coming Memorial Day Weekend!

My niece is graduating from Antonian High School this year and she is going to SMU for College.  They had her graduation party this past Saturday....I am so proud of this girl....she has turned this die hard Longhorn into a Mustang!

Here is my sister and her beautiful family....I love them all so much!

Now for my random photos from the week:

I got my May delivery of tea from Plum Deluxe and it is delicious...English Berries & Cream Black Tea

I had Antonio this past weekend....this is us on the way to the party (Jaime was there too, but not in the picture)

And this is Precious' way of telling me she is a chair hog......get outta my chair chicka!

Beautiful sunrise at my work this morning from my desk

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting !
