Can I please have my hour back?

Hey everyone.....Springing forward always gets me!  I love the fall when we "Fall Back", but this loss of an hour always feels like so much more than an hour.  In addition, my spring allergies are when my allergies are the worst!  I have a raw nose and no matter how many meds I take, my nose never stops running.  Okay....I will stop being a whiney baby now and get on with it.

I am moving forward with lots of finished things....I finished 2 hats.  One was a new start and one wa a year old.....so yea to me.  After finishing the unicorn wrap last week, I had a lot of yarn left over and made a hat with it.

 I also finished this colorwork hat that I started on my 52nd birthday (last year)!

I am also plugging away on 2 baby girl blankets.  One for my cousin's soon to be born granddaughter and one for an "extra" to have available when a new baby is due.

I also worked on my niece's sweater.  I asked my sister to try it on for me to make sure it looked okay.  My niece is a little smaller than my sister, but I still think it will still look great on her.  I sent my niece a pic and she likes it!  yeah!

I got my nails done for St Patty's day.....I love them

I also plan on making more granny square blankets (I have really been digging crocheting lately) so I got this board to help keep themthe same shape.  Plus, I want to make the Battenberg blanket, and while that is not crochet, it is squares and I think this board will help!  I really like it!

Lupe noticed the water pump on our car was leaking so we needed to get it replaced.  His nephew does mechanic works, so we asked him to come over to work on it and his niece and some of their kids came over too.  I ordered a bunch of pizza and soda and it was so fabulous having them over....and I did not get one pic (excpet of the car being worked on) but I loved having them over.

Lupe's Niece's Niece (Nia is her name) really loved my crocheting and saw Lupe's 49ers blanket and asked for one in pink and purple....so I ordered some yarn and I cannot wait to make this for her.

Lastly, it was my dad's 88th birthday this past Friday....so we had dinner at my sister's house last night.  It was a fabulous night!  My family is so beautiful!  I am so blessed!!

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Its Getting Closer to Christmas!

 Hey everyone.....Are you done with your shopping?  I am not....but oh well.  

I hope you have been enjoying my Vlog-Vent series....I have enjoyed doing it.  Let me catch up on the last 8 days I have not shown here.....

I took Lupe to Bucees.....He has never been, he really enjoyed it.

Look at the gorgeous flowers and ballon he got me

We also went to Good Time Charlies so he could get a good chicken fried steak

His dad's birthday was yesterday so I knit him a hat.

I got some chunky yarn from Chelsea Yarns to make a hat

Happy Happy Happy Knitting

My granddaughter is more stubborn than my daughter...

 Hey.....you guessed it....still no granddaughter....and Paige is not very happy about it.

I got my yarn for my Shawl Club for April:

I also finished a hat for Antonio......about 2 1/2 years after I started it.....WOW!  The crazy thing is it only took me like 3 days to finish it....I should have finished it a long time ago.

And.....I worked on the No Frills Cardigan.  I really love this yarn and how it is knitting up.  I finished one sleeve and am 1/2 way done on 2nd sleeve.

That is really all I have.....I know I say this all the time, but I really want to work through some old wips....we will see how that goes.

So.....if you have never been to Texas.....a little perspective of how big it is:

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Something other than a blanket!

 Hey everyone....how are you?  I am okay.  Would you believe I am still working on blankets?  Just not baby blankets for Paige.  

I am working on the monthly blanket.....I have 3 1/4 squares done....so I am working on February squares.

But......I also made a hat for my niece!  This is for Grace, the one I made the cardigan for at Christmas....well, I had some yarn left so I made her a matching hat.  My own pattern of course.

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
