Happy December and first day to open those Adent Calendars!

 Hey everyone....I know, I know...I need to get better about posting here.  I am sorry!  It is already December and I have a TON of pics to share with you.

It is time to open those adent calendars!  I got the David's Tea calendar from Darlene (she gets it for me every year because she is amazing)!

Celeste turned 13 (can you believe I am the grandmother of a teenager?) and we went to an Escape room and then Dave and Busters...she went to Colorado with her family, and Yvette (her mother) is expecting again.....my amazing family is growing!

As for knitting, I recently started a Mae sweater for Shyla

I started a musselburgh for Trenton

I started dishcloths for Darlene (she liked the ones from Friendsgiving so much)!

I started a hat just because I loved the pattern (and had just purchsed the yarn).

I have been plugging away at the stained glass blanket (and got my nails done)

I got the last color for the blanket recently (I still need the last ivory color).

I also ordered next year's Monthly Blanket kit!

I bought some yarn for socks......this was all Elizabeth's fault!

I got some yarn from Eat Sleep Knit's Black Friday sale...this is Malabrigo Rios in the Medusa Colorway

I finished one of the hats and the dishcloths

I was not feeling well for Thanksgiving and there were some newborns at Thanksgiving so I stayed home (and sent my parents with the mashed potatoes):

Paige surprised Bizzle with a trip to see the Dallas Cowboys (Bizz's favorite team):

and Paige got me this great wall hanging for my bedroom....I love it!

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Mother's Day!

 HI everyone....I am just about to get ready to go to my sister's lake house to kick off a Mother's Day weekend.  We will be eating my mother's cannelloni tonight, then massages (me, my mom, sister and niece...Paige could not make it) for all the girls Saturday morning.....Antonio has golf on Sunday and I have a workout with Paige Sunday morning with our usual Sunday morning trainer, Ped.

I hope y'all have a wonderful Mother's Day!

What have I been working on?  Pretty much only 2 things.  I started a wallaby for Antonio....in red.   I have been meaning to start this wallaby for like 2 years....but I finally started it.

I got yarn to make Shyla a Mae sweater

I won a pair of needles from Knitters Pride....

and while this was exciting, my bubble was quickly burst when I realized they (the companies that do give a ways) like to look good by saying I get to pick whatever I want....but I really don't.  I have to pick from the select few things they have....this is so frustrating!  But I guess it is better than nothing (even though sometimes I think not winning at all would be better than bursting my bubble)....

Antonio has been doing great at his tournaments...and he has another one this coming Sunday!

My friend and co-podcaster, Elizabeth, made a gorgeous dotted rays shawl.....and now Darlene and I want to make one.  Can you guess which colors are for me and which are for darlene?

These two girls both had their 8th birthday this past week.....Happy Birthday Cataleya and Alexxis!

I started some socks in this amazing green color for my new guy, Lupe.......

And Kody decided he wanted socks and picked the same color!  So, this might have come in the mail:

Paige found a healthy snack for us to try and I really like them....

I lost my dog of almost 13 years, Precious, recently....so I am back to a 2 dog house.

Lastly, I am on the collar for the Ledberg Cardigan......about 1/2 way done with collar.

Have a great week......Here are some amazing mugs I wanted to buy, but realize I have way too many mugs already!

And this one is the best.....because, my family calls me Care Bear!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
