It's November?!?!

 I cannot believe it is already November......where has the year gone?  The pic below hit hard today....I need to get my booty in gear to be healthier.....for me!

I hope you guys had a happy halloween.  Here is the princess pea with her mario and mushroom!

On Friday I took a batman outfit to Antonio's school for him to wear that day with his friends and then on Saturday he was a camera shy hotdog!  LOL!

I voted last Tuesday....if you have not done so, go vote tomorrow!

I got my first advent calendar in the mail already.  This is the same box she used last year but I did not get one of her advents last year so I am excited.

I finished my dracula shawl on Halloween but it still needs to be blocked

Lupe took me to the new Parsina store that just opened in San Antonio.

Last weekend we had purchased bernat blanket yarn to make his brother a Kansas City Chiefs blanket but I returned the yellow and red to Micheals and got it from here in the Parfait Plush from Premeire yarn.  This yarn is softer but they did not have white so I am still using bernat blanket for the white.

I also got my nails done.....went with red!  and Lupe took me to a sushi place.  His food was terrible, but mine was yummy!  And.....I saw a beautiful rainbow!

As for other knitting....I am on track with my wedding shawl.....you guys are going to get tired of seeing this every week!

and started a new test knit called Espanola

and from the pic above you see I started the KC Chiefs blanket for Lupe's brother, Juan.

                                                         

I think that is all I have this week.  I hope you guys have a fabulous week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy 15th Birthday Antonio and IT IS DONE

 Hey everyone.  How are you?  Antonio turned 15 last Friday and I finished his blanket in time!  I got to pick up Antonio and Amira on Friday and bring them to my house for a little bit (I was waiting on a UPS delivery) and Antonio loved his blanket!

Antonio also got an awesome sack the Thursday before his birthday.  That is him on top of the QB.

My dad came back from Florida and got me a beautiful necklace and earring set

I have been plugging away at my Dracula Shawl.  I am on the lsat 2 charts!

Lupe got his new iPhone Duo.  He loves it.

I made a new chart for my wedding shawl and I am on track

Lastly, I started a Noelani with the yarn that Darlene gifted me 2 years ago.

That is all I have.  Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Lots of Amira and.......Almost There!

 Hello everyone.....I have diligently been working on Antonio's Blanket....Here it what it looks like as I add squares

Here it is with only 4 more rows needing to be done!

Here it is with only 3 more rows needing to be done!

I am getting so excited!

I really do not have much else....as the blanket is almost the only thing I have worked on.  I did work a little on the Magnolia Shawl....Here it is after a few rows of chart 4 were completed:

We have a new test knit coming up, and here it the yarn I think I am going to use....I have not decided

Antonio came with me and Lupe to Costco this past weekend and I did not get a single pic.  He wanted to buy snacks to sell at school.....that boy is one entrepreneur!  Lupe got me these super comfy pjs!  I love them!

Antonio had his football game this past Thursday and Amira came...this is Chloe (one of Sam's kids) holding her:

Then I got to hang out with her and Tone on Friday.  Right before I took this pic she had a huge smile on her face, but she clearly did not want me getting it on camera....LOL!

That is all I have....Have a great week and Happy Monday Night Football....Go 49ers!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

T Minus 10 days!

 Hey everyone.  How are you?  It is 10 days till Antonio's birthday and I would be lying if I said I was not panicked....but I got my rear in gear this past weekend!  I finished ALL SQUARES and weaving in all the ends of all the squares

Then I wove in all the ends in black that were on the actual blanket!

Now I just have 146 squares to attach and the ends of the black yarn to weave in.  If I have time, I want to do one round of black around the entire blanket.

Lupe took me to Yarnivore this past weekend.  I have not been in that store for years.  I got some great teal lace yarn and I am going to use it to make the Tiara shawl (instead of the pink I previously picked).  The color I a little blown out, but hopefully once I start the shawl I can get a better picture.

I worked a little on the Magnolia shawl

and I got my nails and toes done

Lupe and I both had Monday off so we went to lunch at Red Lobster (he loves the endless shrimp).

That is really all I have and I imagine next week all I will have is Antonio's blanket.....we will see.  Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
