A Month Gone By!

 Hey everyone.....it has been about a month since I last blogged....I keep telling myself I am going to get back to the weekly posts, but then I feel like I do not have enough to show.....but when I wait a month, then I feel I have too much to show y'all.....I can't win....LOL!

Here I go with my last month of events!

I got new reading glasses

I pulled out an oldie blanket for me

Antonio and I hanging out

He loves to color

In June 2019, I made this blanket for my cousin's daughter's first baby

Well, that daughter is now having a daughter so I got yarn for another blanket just like it

And I finished it

In January 202, I made this blanket for my same cousin's son's first child

Well, that son is now having a son....so I decided to make another like the first

and finished it

I can't go on instagram or this happens:

and then I asked Elizabeth to crank for me (I don have back from her yet).

Antonio had his last game of tournament.

I had a crack in my toilet tank...and replaced the whole toilet because

1, it was cheaper than new tank 

2, the tank had ratings stating they cracked all the time  

and 3, I wanted to see if I could....and I did!

I enjoyed that crocheted shell pattern so much, I decided to take my largest skein of Wolltraum and make a bedside shell stitch blanket....I am loving it so far!

I also decided to get my nails done....and I am liking them so far....I debated about getting them done because I usually do not keep up with the fills.....we will see what happens!

Jackson and Purl got new beds.....but only Jackson would pose in his.

We had a thunder and lightning storm and Jax hid under the table....silly dog!

Lastly, Paige, Sam and Bizz went to lakehouse and had a great time!

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting (or crocheting since that is all I have been doing)!

Ledberg Done!

 Hey everyone!  I finished my Ledberg!  I am so excited.  I have not even blocked it and I love it!

I also finished the socks for my mother.....what I did not do however, was get a picture before I gifted them to her.....so you get to see one....LOL!  

I had a great time for Mother's Day with my family.....here is Antonio with my nephew Sean the day before Mother's Day, and then on Mother's Day at golf.

Paige got some super cool bath bombs for Antonio

I got my May Yarn for my blanket

Here is Paige in her happy place....plant shopping

My mom's 80th birthday was this past weekend....here is part of my crazy family and then me and my amazing mommy!

I got some super cute pics of Jaxson with some of his favorite (and new) toys!

I recently cleaned out my fridge/freezer (to fix a noise) and then also cleaned out my deep freezer....and found 14 bags of deer jerky....damn, I love this stuff!  I have half to Paige and familia as they love it just as much!

Lastly.....something funny I wanted to share....Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Mother's Day!

 HI everyone....I am just about to get ready to go to my sister's lake house to kick off a Mother's Day weekend.  We will be eating my mother's cannelloni tonight, then massages (me, my mom, sister and niece...Paige could not make it) for all the girls Saturday morning.....Antonio has golf on Sunday and I have a workout with Paige Sunday morning with our usual Sunday morning trainer, Ped.

I hope y'all have a wonderful Mother's Day!

What have I been working on?  Pretty much only 2 things.  I started a wallaby for Antonio....in red.   I have been meaning to start this wallaby for like 2 years....but I finally started it.

I got yarn to make Shyla a Mae sweater

I won a pair of needles from Knitters Pride....

and while this was exciting, my bubble was quickly burst when I realized they (the companies that do give a ways) like to look good by saying I get to pick whatever I want....but I really don't.  I have to pick from the select few things they have....this is so frustrating!  But I guess it is better than nothing (even though sometimes I think not winning at all would be better than bursting my bubble)....

Antonio has been doing great at his tournaments...and he has another one this coming Sunday!

My friend and co-podcaster, Elizabeth, made a gorgeous dotted rays shawl.....and now Darlene and I want to make one.  Can you guess which colors are for me and which are for darlene?

These two girls both had their 8th birthday this past week.....Happy Birthday Cataleya and Alexxis!

I started some socks in this amazing green color for my new guy, Lupe.......

And Kody decided he wanted socks and picked the same color!  So, this might have come in the mail:

Paige found a healthy snack for us to try and I really like them....

I lost my dog of almost 13 years, Precious, recently....so I am back to a 2 dog house.

Lastly, I am on the collar for the Ledberg Cardigan......about 1/2 way done with collar.

Have a great week......Here are some amazing mugs I wanted to buy, but realize I have way too many mugs already!

And this one is the best.....because, my family calls me Care Bear!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
