Trying to keep busy!

Hey everyone....how are you?  I am sorry I am late on my blog.  I have been trying to keep busy and unfortunately, I have not been busy with knitting.  I think we all go through little funks and times of being blue...but I know my lack of knitting funk has lasted way too long....I am sorry for that, but I promise I am trying to but out of it.

The ONLY thing I have worked on in the last week and a half if a hat.....my Myra hat made out of the Knitphomaniac yarn I made my Portage with.

I do have some good news....I am getting yarn delivered tomorrow for a new sweater....Darlene wants to make The Easy Bulky One for Shyla and was having some issues with the pattern....so I said I would make it with her.....with this amazing GREEN!

I also got my new replacement crochet hook

So what have I been doing?  Reading......  I am sure if you know me you are thinking, "Reading?  Why isn't she listening to books and still knitting?!?"   First let me thank my great friend, Jennifer, who when I told her that i have nothing to put on my blog because I have been reading instead of knitting said that I should go ahead and put this reading in my blog.......


So, I found a new author, her name is Maggie Cole and I am IN LOVE with her books.  I have had the privilege of since September of last year to be on her Advance Launch Team.....meaning, I get to read the books before they are made available for purchase.....they are romance....and they are hot and steamy and sexy, so if you do not like that kind of book, then these are not for you...but if you do like that.....then give her first 2 series of books a try.  The first series is the All In Series......

Her second series is the It's Complicated Series....

She is just wrapping up her Together We Stand Series.....with these hotties as eye candy...I believe these are scheduled to release in June or July of this year.....

I have also been trying to keep up with all my exercising...and I have been doing okay.  Yesterday Paige gave me a new flavor of Red Bull.  Now I do not usually drink Red Bull because I think they taste like crap....but this Watermelon one.....omg.....I did my 30 min of HIIT exercises, then took Jax for a walk around the block with Antonio, then worked on my yard for almost 2 hours.....holy cow I had a ton of energy to do all sorts of stuff.  I was a bit sore later...but I am not too bad today.

I did have Antonio for a day...and he did some homework

And he cuddled with Jax (I got up from my work computer at my desk in my room and saw this and had to snap a picture):

All my babies were looking at me the other day and I also had to snap a pic of them....

I got a picture of the baby with the blanket I made her.....this was the most recent blanket I finished for Avery.

Paige also thinks I am the best mom ever.....and I have to screen shot this kind of stuff as proof....LOL!!!

Well, that is all I have......hopefully next week I have a started sweater to show yall!

Happy Happy Happy Kniting!
