SIXTEEN???

 Can y'all believe this beauty is 16??  I started my blog shortly after she was born and I got into knitting....WOW!

Happy Sweet 16 Celeste!!

This week was a little chilly and I had to pull out my three amazing wallabys from Darlene.  I love these sweaters!

I got my november blanket yarn...I need to get my butt going on this blanket!

Plus there were some goodies in my Chelsea yarns Box

I found these baubles at dollar tree

and I made the lightbulb shaped one for my nephew and his fiancée for their wedding shower

I also worked on a present blanket

and look at how amazing my friends are

I cannot tell you how happy this made me....I am already looking at patterns for us to make together!

My tea advent from Darlene arrived....I cannot wait till Sunday to do the first day.

Darlene is too good to me.....along with this man!

He spoils me every day!  Look at these gorgous flowers

Lastly, my sleepy dog!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!  Have a great week!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Another FO?

 Look.....Can it be true?  I have another FO!!  LOL!

It is just my socks for Lupe that were super close to being done.....

I got some yarn.....I got the monthly yarn from Jimmy Beans Wool

And I ordered some Halloween color yarn.  It is from Joanns.  It is Big Twist in the colorway Jack O Lantern.

I want to make a Granny Square blanket and could not figure out which Granny Square I liked best......so I asked Lupe and Darlene and they both like the one on the right.   I only got 6 skeins of this yarn so I am hoping that will be enough for a blanket.  My first skein got me almost 9 squares (I had to use a little of second skein to finish).

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

Back to School

 Hey Everyone!  How are you?  It is back to school time.  Yesterday was Tone's first day of 7th grade

I finished some socks.....these are for my son's friend's moms.

I got August's blanket yarn too

and I finished July's part of the blanket

My leggings came in and these were made for me.....orange and knitting!

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

More Socks

 Hey everyone....how are you?  I am okay.  I have been fairly sore lately....I am working out the same amount I always do, so I dont know if it is just my trainer giving me harder stuff or what.....but soreness has been a real struggle lately and it has been affecting my knitting mojo.

I did finish some more DK weight socks...I started these for Kody a while back...but I just finished them

I think Amira is going through a growth spurt because she has been sleeping a lot lately....at least for me, she might be keeping mom and dad up....when she stays up till 2 am, mom and dad say she is "closing down the club"....LOL!

I recently got a pop up memory from 11 years ago....Look at Big Brother 11 year ago!

I also attempted another meal that Paige posted on Instagram, but this time I forgot to get a screen shot of hers....it is a cream cheese, avocado, and boiled egg mixture on top of a bagel with red pepper chili flakes...I used only the egg whites of my boiled eggs and I will definitely be making this again

I got my yarn for my July Blanket club....no more shawl club since it was just 6 months, but I still need to finish my shawl

My sister's birthday was this past Sunday and we went to my parent's house for dinner....my sister snapped this pick (we did not intentionally exclude big brother, he was in the restroom).

That is really all I have.....I hope you have a great week!

My below parting picture is from a book I recently finished listening too.....it was pretty great.  It is Chaos by Luna Mason

Hurricane Season

Hey everyone.....if you live in Texas, you know not only is it Hurricane season but that Beryl is headed for Texas.  This one has been pretty unpredictable.  The eye was originally expected to hit the top part of Mexico, just south of Brownsville....but that has slowly changed more and more North as the days went on.  Finally hitting as a category 1 around Matagorda, TX (South of Texas) this morning around 3:55 am.  

It was believed it would be close to category 3 (I think) as that is what I think it was when it went through the Caribbean and Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.  Don't get me wrong.....I am glad it is not packing the punch everyone thought it would and it is terrible that it has claimed the lives of 10 people so far.....but my goodness, it is not even funny how wrong all the predictions were over and over again.....That is Mother Nature for you!

Okay...enough of that (I do not think SA will even get any rain from this one).....what have I been up to?  Not much......seriously, I need to do more!  LOL!

This beautiful girl has a dr appointment today (just a check up) and I cannot wait to see how much her stats changed.

My coworkers are again sleeping on the job

I made a mistake on my montly blanket.  After seaming 6 squares, I was to pick up stitches on one side and knit a pattern, then the same on the other side.  However, I did not realize the pattern I was supposed to knit was different for each side.....but I just went and did the same pattern on each side and then realized my error (the second pattern was on the back side of the card and I did not even look because I am a dork).  However, I kind of like the result.  So, June monthly blanket is done......waiting on July.

I got my June Shawl yarn....this is the last shipment for the shawl, so I hope to finish the shawl soon.

For my last item.....I should just insert Whitesnake's Here I Go Again song (I am old).  Let's just say that I cannot say no to Antonio......

I hope yall have a fabulous week....and lots of prayers to you if you are in the path of Beryl

Happy Happy Knitting
