Go Spurs and Thank you to our service men and women!

Hey everyone....I hope you had a great Memorial Day and How About Them Spurs!!!!  I am so thankful to our service men and women and especially those that died while serving.  Thank you!

My dad went to Ft Sam Cemetary and and my mom's columbarium stone was up

I have been a bit lazy this weekend and today will be no different.....it will be a Harry Potter and Knitting kind of day!

First, I started a new test knit....my nails match my needles.

Here is chart 1 finished....the color of yarn is a bit blown out, but it is light gray

I also ordered some yarn to add embelishments to lace knitting.....my friend, Ineta, showed me this and I ordered some.

She also told me about this mohair with cotton, but I have not ordered yet....I want to

This past weekend was Peyton's graduation ceremony....I love this pic!

Antonio had golf lessons and gave a couple of lessons to his sister

I had dinner at Paige's this past Friday and Paige modeled her sweater for me (inside out and regular way).

I finished the body of the Ankers sweater....just 2 sleeves and I am done

I jumped on the AI bandwagon and had this image done

and lastly, I met a friend of my son's from Austria who traveled all the way here to Texas.  She is so sweet.  She broght me some delicious chocolate too!

Well, that is all I have.....I hope you have a great week!  

Go Spurs!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

10 days to turkey day!

Hey everyone!  How are you?  I am okay......it is just 10 days away till Thanksgiving...are you ready?  I am fortunate enough to not have to do 'everything' for the big day, just some amazing mashed potatoes and show up at my aunts house....yes, I have it easy, but it is one of my favorite holidays (along with Christmas).....so I cannot wait!!

I am making some socks for one of the boys that comes to our thanksgiving celebration....if you are a regular follower, you know I already made him one pair and they were too small, so here is the 2nd pair....both feet just need heels added.

I also pulled out Graces socks to work on......

Speaking of Grace....here is my beauty queen with her friend Shelby:

Darlene finished Paige's wallaby and it looks amazing on her

I am still working on the one I am making her......I know, I suck.....my mojo has been super low lately....I have no clue what is up with that......so the above is all I have in the knitting/crocheting aspect...but if you wanna know my other shenanigans.....read on.

Jax still has friends coming over....Kayta top left, puppy (Chuck) top right, and Jax on the bottom.

One of these three got a hold of one of my MadelineTosh sock in Antique colorway.....GRRRRR

I went to Celeste's volleyball and got snuggles in with Alesso (Alessandro Liam, Celeste's brother)

Bizzle gave me my Chirstmas present early.....because she was SOOOOOOO excited to give it to me, she could not wait....and I LOVE IT!

I went to the deer lease with Jaime....and he forgot the keys to the RV...but he did shoot an Axis Doe

And Antonio had a soccer game on Saturday morning and one of the players invited us to IHOP after the game....so we went, and Antonio got a chocolate shake and was so excited

and then Antonio, Celeste and I went to see her dad aka my son, Erich......and she was supposed to be doing her presentation but she crashed!

Lastly, there was a blood red looking sunrise last week and I tried so hard to properly capture the color and just could not....sorry...but it was gorgeous...and imagine this with a beautiful blood red color.

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Birthday vs Happy Jury Summons

Hey everyone......so this coming Wednesday (2 days) is Antonio's Birthday!  and for his birthday, I got a Jury Summons......so Happy Birthday Antonio and Happy Jury Summons to Me!

In other news.......
A friend of mine and Darlene's started work with us this week!  Welcome Jennifer!

I got 2 new purses because I could not decide which one I liked best:

Jaime and I had date night at Chachos (my favorite because they have amazing pina coladas and margaritas!)

I am still going to the gym....and by the gym is a rome's pizza (like 2 doors down) so last night after my workout, I got a greek salad with chicken breast.....it was so yummy....but I really wanted to eat an entire pizza!

I got yarn for a couple of girl baby blankets.....I think I am gonna put these colors together

and I got the yarn for the baby blanket for Nathan and his wife (The gym guy)

The only other thing I worked on that I can show you is Paige's wallaby.....I am still working on my test knit, but I am almost done with it....I just cannot show pictures till the end of the year.

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Sweaters, Sweaters, and Sweaters

Hi everyone!  How are you?  I am okay....ready for fall (it is just around the corner).

I have really been into sweaters lately....I finished Paige's Birthday Surprise Sweater.

Now I finished my weekender

Decided to really double down on my Torbellino....

And restarted Paige's Wallaby

Those are the only things I knit on this week.  Other than that, you can probably see I got my nails done.....I have been thinking of doing this for a long time and finally did it....I love them!

I had Grandparents day with Antonio and with Alexxis.  Antonio had a couple of friends whose grandparents could not make it, so we took an extra picture!

Kayta (the neighbors dog) came for a visit.....

And I took Jax over to visit Bella at my parent's house.....

Antonio played golf with my dad....and he usually has a ton of dirt under his nails and my dad gets onto him for it....so this time he cleaned his nails up....so proud of him

Lastly, I ran 2 miles on Saturday.....on my treadmill....no, these were 12 min miles, but that is faster than my 17 min walking mile I usually do.  I was pretty proud of myself.

So this week I have exercise/weight loss (or not) pics for you!  Have a great week!
