The 7th Year at the Lake House Retreat

Hey everyone....how was your weekend?  Mine was AMAZING!  It was the 7th year my friends and I have been going to my sister's lake house.....so I started the week with a pedicure

Then to the lake house (Picture overload later):

I finished the hat for Shyla

and I finished the hat for Tim, Shyla's Hubby, but I did not finish it while I was at the lakehouse, so I have not given it to them yet.

While at the lakehouse, I worked on my Cream Sweater....and weekender....I got the weekender to divide for sleeves and my gauge is so different in the round than it is going back and forth...I hope it blocks out.

I gave my mom the moondrip sweater and I am going to make another for my sister.

A

I started on George the Dog....Darlene got me this pattern and yarn!

Rosanna did part 1 of Atlanticus for me and then I did the next 2 rounds in part 2 (notice the new XL bag I got for this!)

Speaking of Rosanna, she was working on her Phoenix (I really want to make it) and brought the most amazing folding chair (of which I might have 2 on the way to my house in red and black plaid).

Rosanna's hubby made the gift for my sister and Jim this year.....and Shyla also made my sister and Jim a surprise gift...the bowl set is from Rosanna and the sign is from Shyla

Shyla made me a No Soliciting sign.....and Paige took it from me, so I have ordered another one exactly like it from Shyla again.

Before my picture overload of the lakehouse....Antonio had a basketball game and he won!  They got Donuts and went to dinner and also went to the river this past weekend.

Now for my Lake House Picture Overload!  Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

ITS DONE......Moondrip Swoncho!

Yahoo!!!!!  It is done!

Darlene has been on an animal/amigurumi kick lately....and she found this cat......it looks like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland....

So I ordered the yarn in the bottom right corner to make this cat....the yarn is coming from Turkey so it will probably take over a month......but I ordered it....I cannot wait to make it.

I also worked on my crochet blanket

And started a test knit hat....this month is Brioche Month!

That is all I have.....this coming weekend is the Lake house retreat!  I cannot wait....stay tuned for next Monday when I will have PICTURES galore (I hope)!

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Busted nails and water heater.......yuck!

What better way to start the week than on a complaint........I busted a ring finger nail that hurts like a bitch! (thanks for listening to me complain and whine!)

Then my thumbnail had a super small tear really far down....

so I cut it off myself so it would not rip...

and it appears Paige has had a water leak from her water heater for a very long time that she recently found....  

Here is the garage damage

The small cabinet with the water heater

 Old one

 New one

Now she just needs the insurance to come and fix the damage....it is already molding.

Antonio had his first basketball game........love this boy!

And grandma bought him some new shoes.  He got some Kyrie 5 basketball shoes that will be shipped to him (His size was not in stock)...red and black since his uniform colors are red and black.

 And some all black Nike's he really liked for everyday wear

Then some ice cream with cookie dough (He's tying his new shoes in the background).

Then home.....he stayed the night with me Saturday night....and Jax was so happy.....Jax does not usually sleep in the bed with me unless Jaime is there or Antonio....well, Jax would not leave Antonio.

This is what I woke to on Sunday morning.

And since this is kinda supposed to be a knitting blog....I bet you wonder what I knitted on?  Only the Moondrip....and some crocheting on the rectangle granny blanket.....after I tore my nail, it kinda hurt to knit.

That is pretty much all I have.....my life is really boring!  I leave you with some dog pics:

Paige took Jaz and Jax to a dog Park:

Here is Paige's entryway.....Haze on the stairs....Chief and Princess in the Kennel (Don't worry, they came out of the kennel as soon as grandma took this picture)

And Haze (Bizz's dog):

Have a great week everyone!  I hope you have a fabulous 4th of July!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting
