Happy Birthday to ME!

Hey everyone.....I hope you are well.  I have tons of pics this week so buckle up!  

It is my birthday this coming Wednesday (the 25th) and even though Lupe has already bought me everything my heart desires, he continues to spoil me daily!

He bought me a new bag/tote/purse from knit trolley (check her out on instagram or etsy)....it is not here yet, but this is from the listing:

He ordered me the February enchanted pages from chelsea yarns and it came in

He took me to Rolando's (the best taco place on the planet) and a new to us place called Mavericks in Floresville (it was delicious)

and he bought me a new curing iron

it curls my hair well.

He is also getting my pearls restrung...these are from my grandmother (who passed before I was born).....My aunt Natasha gave them to me several years ago and I wore them till they broke....then they sat for too long waiting to get restrung.

Lastly, he bought us a new loveseat with HEAT and MASSAGE!!! along with a new coffee table

The loveseat gets here today and I cannot wait for him to put it together!

We worked on cleaning out the shed this past weekend and found 4 newborn kittens.  We left them alone, but mom only came back for 2, and left 2.  My dogs thought they were a squeeky toy (I promise no kittens were hurt).  We took them to the shelter on Sunday......but my they were adorable.

As for knitting......I managed to get 12.5 grams knit on the Nuvem.  I switched cords too and took a pic with 2 cords on it

I worked on my lime green sweater

and my scrappy granny square sweater

I am starting a test knit for a little shawlette with this yarn

I also made some bread......one of my starters is an over achiever!

and while I tell you all about Lupe spoiling me, I promise I am good to him too....I made him schnitzel!

and I finally took a pic of him (isn't he so handsome!!) with his truck in daylight

Lastly......my best friend is so awesome!  Darlene made me the most gorgeous quilt and new bags by awesome grannie bag....did you know they come with a pocket now?  I love it!  Thank you Darlene!

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Sick = lots of progress

 Hey everyone.....how are you?  I have been sick.  I knew I was sick, but when my ring first told me I had minor signs of something straining my body and then 3 hours later it was major signs for 2 days.....I knew I was as sick as I felt.  On top of A LOT of sleeping,  I got some knitting and crocheting done.

My dad did not know I was sick, but he must have sensed it because he brought me Char Sui......yum!

I also mailed off the sweater for Vera along with a knitting package for her to start knitting....it looks great on her and she has the perfect pants to match

I think last week I told you I got my valentines box.....well, I started a Scrappy Granny Tee:

I also ordered some cotton yarn that came in

I started a top down knit pullover with the lime first.....and I already divided for sleeves......because I have only been knitting or sleeping (or blowing my nose).

The only other thing I knit on was my Nuvem and I even managed to get 26 grams of yarn knit on it (lots of progress)!

Valentines came and as always, Lupe spoiled me

Not just with the above flowers but he also bought me new ear buds....now if you know me, you know I am a headphone/earphone JUNKIE!!  And he just recently bought me some apple max headphones.  So, I have....3 pairs bose over ear (all different models of quiet comfort, black, silver and cream), 2 pairs bose quiet control (there is a band that goes around neck so I do not lose the little ear buds), aftershokz with the band around back of neck, Sony Over ear, Bowers and Wilkens Px8's, apple air pods, apple max headphones and now some Shoks over ear buds...these are so awesome!  In my defense (this is a week defense I admit), I wear ear buds or headphones almost all day and like to switch em up for my ears.

On Sunday he took me to the laundry mat the wash our HUGE bed blanket......I do not think I have ever been to a laundry mat (I know, I am super sheltered).  I thought it was so much fun and Lupe thought I was crazy....LOL!

My mom called and I had to go over to her house to help her with her email.....my sister had dropped of pom pom yarn she bought years ago that she decided she is never going to use so I brought it home....  I am in love <3

That is really all I have.....I leave you with AWESOME pics of Amira going to visit my mom on Valentines Day!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey everyone, how are you?  I know I am early, but I will not be blogging for another week so I do not want to miss saying Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you know you are are soooooo loved!

I ordered a Valentines Box from Chelsea Yarns....Here it is!

The only knitting I have done is on my Nuvem Squared.  I am determined to get this done this year before I hit the 9 year mark (even though I have older things....LOL). It takes about 3.5 grams for one round and I knit 23.5 grams this past week.  

I also was in the mood for some fancy nails....I found this pic online.....

and I went to the salon.....I love the result!

We also got a new Fridge.....I absolutely love it...it is so much larger.

I went to Paige's this past Friday to make them dinner and hang out with them.  I made Risotto

I did not get a pic, but Kody did......

and Paige sent me this one

The following evening Paige, Kody and Antonio went to the spurs game....no doubt that Antonio did not want to be in pic...LOL!

And Bizzle babysat Amira....I snagged this from her Instagram

Lastly, Lupe got me more flowers like he does every week!

I hope you all have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
