New Truck and a New Month!!!!

 Hey Everyone!  How are you?  Can you believe it is already February?  I cannot....but I have great news!  My guy bought a new truck.....I am so proud of him.  This is his first ever purchase from a dealership and it is a beauty! He even let me drive it this past Friday to see Ped.....it was a joy to drive and it is even so somfortable to be a passenger.




Okay....knitting.....I have been wanting to order a "enchanged pages" set from Chelsea Yarns for a while now....so when she posted that she had some extras for January, I jumped on it and I am so thrilled I did.  I have even already ordered February's.





I have been knitting on a very very very old project from..........2017.  There is a blog post here from 2017 when Darlene and I were at the lakehouse and we decided to make double nuvem's.  So that means a nuvem that is like twice as large with 600 grams of yarn instead of 300.  I have had mine on the needles since then and have posted about it several times over the years.  My great friend, Jennifer, even took it one year and finished the first skein of yarn.  So I am officially on my second skein.  Darlene decided to frog hers somewhere along the way and I ended up with both of her skeins of yarn.  


Here we are in 2017 starting them



Anyway, I mentioned to Darlene that I pulled out my Nuvem for some mindless knitting and she mentioned that she wanted to do one too.  So, I have restarted hers and got it to the point where you do not need two needles....I am going to ship it to her today.



Here is mine...I managed to knit about 16 grams on mine this past week.



Lupe bought me some Apple Airpod Max Headphones (because he spoils me) and I ordered him some sour candies......I know I got the better deal here......but he does love his candies.




Well, that is really all I have.....I hope yall have a great week.






Happy Happy Happy Knitting.

BRRRRRR, it is really COLD!!!!

 Hey everyone.  How are you?  We are very cold here in San Antonio, and I do get that there are millions of others that are even colder than us....but I am just not used to this cold weather!!  BRRRRR!!



Lupe made us a cuddly fire!



This past Friday Lupe got Lasik Surgery.  He loves his results!






Lupe bought me all grape skittles.....my favorite!




I also ordered some Crumbl cookies this week....they were so yummy!



I finished my sister's dishcloths......



I took them to my parent's house so my sister could get them there and my mom was so upset I had not made her some, so I made her some really quick and took them to her.




My dad gave Lupe this awesome pub coat!



and Lupe got me new flowers...they are gorgeous!





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



Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Valentine's Day in January

Hey everyone.  How are you?  I am well.  Lupe continues to spoil me and gave me almost all my valentine's presents early.  I love them all!  







I got Lupe a ridiculously funny sponge holder he saw and said he wanted.





I have made 2 more hats.....these are for me since I did not finish them in time for Darlene's package to get sent.

 




Lupe has been bringing home some great Monster drinks and I have been trying some of the sugar free ones.



Lupe had an appointment for a consultation for Lasik surgery and his surgery is scheduled for this coming Friday....I am so excited for him, I still remember how great it was when I got it done 22 years ago.



On a sad note, a well known lace designer lost her husband suddenly and unexpectedly, so we are having a KAL in the  KALMYO group.  I have decided to try Tango Nuevo....I am enjoying it, but lace is harder for me, so I am not very fast at it.






My sister has requested some more Ballband Dishcloths...so I have started some for her, and also plan on making some for my mom and myself.  Here is what I have so far.




That is all I have this week...besides some adorable pics of Jackson sneaking in the bed for a nap.....LOL!



Have a great week!




Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
