Happy Valentine's Day

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I am great!  Lupe has been spoiling me all week....and it is not even Valentine's day yet.   

Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Look at all the goodies that Lupe has already given me and it is not Friday yet!

This is some sort of rose in a water globe that I haver never seen before, but I love it.

He also got me some orange roses (fabric) that a coworkers girlfriend made and a Rabbit balloon (he calls me rabbit because I love veggies)

and, he made me the most delicious fideo I have ever had

Then, this past Christmas party with my knitting friends, we decided to fill out forms and pic anonymously a form and then we are that person's "Fiber Fairy".  Well, I have become a complete Fiber Fairy failure.  I sent a package to my person via Amazon and for some reason, by name was on the package along with her name and address....so she immediately knew it was me (I swear I suck sometimes, but I mean well).  Anyway, I tell you all of that to let you know my Fiber Fairy sent me a birthday present.  It is super awesome.  There is tea and tea bags, a pair of socks, lotion, chapstick, and soap.  Thank you Fiber Fairy!

Now for knitting, I finished Antonio's granny square hat

Here he is wearing it

I also finished the blanket for Lupe's soon to be born niece

I started a new "girl" blanket just to have on hand with baby bee Sugarwheel cotton.

And I have been working on my Unicorn Wrap

I also ordered some yarn to make Amira a hat

I have an adorable picture of Amira at Antonio's Golf outing (hitting a bucket of balls....oh, and he made his school's golf team...yeah!):

And Amira with Jaz and Texas <3

My last note is....did you notice that Google maps (not apple maps) has changed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America?

Okay, have a great week everyone.

Happy Happy Happy Knitting.

Merry (Beleated) Christmas and Happy New Year!

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I am great.  I am not sure if you wanted my vlog vent or not, but I have been doing lots of knitting!

First let me catch up on the last Advent pics!

I finished the Frostina and my socks!

I also made 3 baubles, but I had to get one to my neighbor right away and never got a picture....but I got a picture of the other two.

I also got a beautiful rose from Lupe!

That is all I have.....pls enjoy some of my family Christmas Pics!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Crazy Carrie Checking In!

Hey everyone!  I have felt a little out of control lately and it feels like Crazy Carrie is taking over.....I hope she leaves soon.

First, my friend Elizabeth made an amazing shawl called Julie's Wrap by Joji Locatelli and I had to buy the exact same yarn....except I could not find it in sock yarn, so I had to get MCN (poor me)!

 The above pictures are Elizabeth's shawl.....below is the pic from the website where I ordered the yarn.

Then the place where I ordered the yarn from only had 3 skeins instead of 4....so I got completely different yarn....Madtosh sock yarn in the Antique Moonstone colorway.  It is more blue than I thought it would be, but I am really kinda digging it and Paige said it will look great!

Second..... my friend Jennifer finished knitting 1/2 my nuvem for me...and by 1/2, I mean she knit an entire 300 gram Wollmeise skein.

 So I got cake number 2 ready and attached that sucker

I even took the beast to golf with Antonio

Third, I also ordered the Jimmy Beans Hedgehog Fibers Blanket Club....this is all Darlene and Rosanna's fault...they are both doing it too.

Fourth (and I think Lastly), I decided to tackle my yarn room.....it is a disaster!  Here is my before picture.....I am not done so you will have to wait a while for my after picture!

Jaime and I had a nice valentine's dinner out.....I got an amazing Ribeye steak at Longhorn (yes, I gained a pound, but I think it might have been worth it....Ill go longer on the treadmill today).  He even brought me a single rose....

Paige posted some great pics with her and Kody....with the quote:

"To love is nothing.
To be loved is something.
But to love and be loved, that's everything"

After golf my daddy took me to get some new running shoes for my birthday....I love them!

Oh, and I worked on my Vortex Sweater....I cannot wait to divide for sleeves on this!

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
