Happy 2nd Birthday Amira (and Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers)!

 Hey everyone......how are you?  I have had a crazy week but hanging in there.  Not too much knitting, but lots of fun.

First......Amira's 2nd birthday!  I finished Bluey!

We got her a bluey chair and some clothes (I did not get pics of the clothes but they included Bluey PJs)

She loved it.....took her to play in the moon jump!

A couple other pics from the party

As I was seaming Bluey, I realized my tissues, energy drink and laptop all matched so I had to snap a pic!

and my favorite flowers ever!  I love looking at these on my desk!

Next was Mother's Day....I hope all Mothers reading this had an awesome Mother's Day!  Earlier in the week my babies (Jackson, Flower and Purl) paid to get my nails and toes done.....I love them!  Lupe said I should do something different like blue or purple so I went with purple and some daisies!

Aren't they cute!?!  On the actual day......Lupe got me more flowers (he really does spoil me) and we went to see my mom.

We saw Lupe's mom too, but I forgot to get a picture.  It was the first time anyone had navigated to her columbarium so I sent instructions to the family on how to get there.  My dad went and he was so happy he had directions to go see her.  Lupe and I went by his house and I swear my mom is looking after him.....here is a hawk that was keeping an eye out!

We also borrowed my dad's wheel barrow and an extra shovel because Lupe had some top soil dirt delivered.....6 cubic yards!

and he got busy putting the dirt down (look at my sexy fiance)!

He also made the most delicious brisket.....it was sooooo good and we have lots of left overs.

Lastly....how about some knitting?  LOL!  I worked on Paige's sweater.....I only have 5,428 stitches to go and it is done so I am hoping to finish it this week.  

I got some yarn to make another one of these for myself.....I love the color.  This is Purl Soho Serif in Yellow Ochre color.

Now, as far as the Ankers sweater I want to have finished by the end of this month, well, I am about 11 days behind.....but, I am hoping to double up days for the next 11 days and maybe I can still have it done by end of month to wear to Peyton's graduation party on the 30th!  Fingers crossed.  I have just divided for sleeves.

Well, that is all I have.  I hope you all have an amazing week.  

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

I said Absolutely Yes!

 

OMG!  I have so much to tell you all and so many pictures to share.  First.....Lupe proposed and of course I said YES!  I love this life we have!

I posted on FB and Insta and tried to reply to everyone....If I missed you, I am sorry and thank you so much for taking the time to congratulate us!!

First, let me back up a bit......On Saturday we had a BIG Day.  We scheduled to attend a Glass Flower Making Class.  It was so much fun.  We are already planning our next class.  Here are some pics

 

(this is my hand pulling the glass....LOL)

We made these amazing flowers!  We each made a clear (practice) and Lupe had beige/white and I had pink!

Then we had dinner reservations at The Melting Pot.  Neither of us had ever been.  He reserved the Romance pacakge it and came with chocolate covered strawberries and roses.

It was food upon food (and I wonder why I look so large in my pics....LOL!!)!

And then he proposed!  It was perfect and the ring is gorgeous....He did a great job!

On Sunday, Lupe spent most of the day putting together this table for under the new tv.  We still need to rearrange the furniture, but the TV and table look great!  We have matching side tables for our couch, but we have to put them together....LOL!

I spent most of the day continuing to get all my yarn in clear bins that are all the same (instead of a bunch of different shaped bins that lean and fall) and also getting my yarn room ready for a new desk and chair.  We had to go all the way to Seguin to get (I saw on FB marketplace) and going home I thought we were going to lose the quilt or chair or both.....but Lupe's truck has a camera we can watch the bed of truck

Here it is (the desk was in pieces because it does not fit through a door) and we were putting it together till 10:30 pm last night....now my room still has a lot more "work" to be done so no judging.....it is a work in progress (just like my millions of wips)!  Notice my vase of "flowers" on my new to me desk!

I got some more Sandnes Garn Line Yarn.....I think I have shown the blue before but the pink and grey are new

As for knitting.....the only knitting I have done is this bluey for Amira.  Her birthday and birthday party are this coming Friday so I hope I can finish on time!

Well.....that is all I have.  I also have pics of my 3 grands all in one place at my sister's house after my moms services.  Paige took these and it took me a while to get them from her.

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
