Some Great Yarn Acquisitions

 Hi Everyone....I hope you are all doing well.  I cannot believe it is already mid April.  I got some great yarn this past week.

First, I got more yarn for the Petals of Flower Shawl

I also got more yarn to make more Knit Pullovers.

I also got the March Enchanted pages from Chelea Yarns

Speaking of Chelsea Yarns....I odered her advent for 2026 and I ordered one from Ruby and Roses.  I am super excited for Christmas to get here....LOL!

I also divided for Sleeves on Paige's top down pull over.

and started a sweater for me in light pink

and I have continued to work on the Petal of Flowers Shawl

Darlene told me this past weekend that she loves the Ankers sweater I made her last year and she wants to make one by the end of May.  I am going to make one with her......in this color!

Lupe got me a Venus Fly Trap plant and it works!

I made a delicious meal prep last week with beef, rice and brocolli

I also made homemade cheese its.

Lastly, I donated blood for the first time in 2026

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

He is Risen! Happy Easter!

 Hey everyone!  Happy April and Happy Easter!

 I hope you had a fantastic Easter Holiday!  We went to Lupe's Niece's house and had a great time.  I cannot remember the last time I had a cascarone egg cracked on my head.  LOL!  I did not get any pictures, but Emily (Juan's girlfriend) did and she sent them to me.  I also have pics of Amira's Easter that I will put at the end of this post.

Last week, Brent's wife Brittny was in SA so we met her downtown and had some drinks.  It was great seeing her.  You can see that now that I have finished my lime green top, I am wearing it everywhere....LOL!

Paige said she really likes this lime green sweater so I ordered more yarn and started one for her.  I also have some pink yarn coming to make another for me.  This is one of my favorite sweaters to wear!

I ran out of yarn for the Petal of Flowers Shawl...I am waiting on more to be delivered today.

It was a short posting week so that is all I have.  I have yarn coming this week that I will post next week.  Have a great week.

Have a great week!

Here are the pics of Amira's Easter:

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

My Mom is in Heaven now!

I am sad but also relieved to tell you that Heaven gained another angel last Friday.  My mother is no longer in pain and that is why I am relieved.  I know she is in a better place and it was so hard to see her in so much pain every day.

I am sorry I am 2 days late posting this blog post.  Monday was crazy busy going to funeral home then helping my dad clear out some of the kitchen and pantry.  Then Lupe (he took day off) and I delivered some stuff to his brother and some stuff to Paige.  By the time we got home, I was beat.  Then yesterday I had an all day meeting in the office.  I cannot remember the last time I had to go to the office. After the meeting, Lupe took me to Johnny Carino's and I had the Chicken Scaloppine that was delicious, but later I had a stomach ache and just went to bed super early.  So now it is Wednesday and I am finally getting to this post.

It is officially Spring!

Last Tuesday I got to go to Antonio's last golf tournament.  He has improved so much in this sport.  I am so proud of him.

I also made more brownies for Lupe.  My dad went and got him raw milk to try (he had never tried it).  He has to have milk with the brownies, but he mixes the raw milk with a 2%.

Darlene and I started a new shawl.   It is called Minetta and I am using this cotton.  The color way is Koi

I also finished my Knit Pullover in Lime.  Paige really likes it so I ordered more yarn to make another.

I also made progress on this Petal Of Flowers Shawl.  I think I am going to run out of my main color so I ordered some more.  I hope it ships fast!

I listened to a new to me author the other day.....Freida McFadden (I know, I know......I am behind the times and she has been popular forever, it just takes a lot for me to do 'new' things).  I loved this book!  Of course it helped that I love Julia Whelan and January Lavoy as narrators.

So Lupe took me to Barnes and Nobles to get an actual book to read.  The books are like $20 and I can get on amazon next day for $10.  I am scared places like Barnes and Nobles are going to close....so sad.  Anyway, I got this one...I am already on chapter 6 or something...it is different to 'read' a book and not listen, but I guess it is a good habit to read before bed instead of phone scrolling....LOL!

Here is my pain in the booty that has been messing with the fence and is in trouble with dad (she does not look worried, does she...LOL):

That is all I have this week....again, sorry I was late and I hope you have a fabulous week!

Read that last one again....it is worth it!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
