Happy Mother's Day!

Hello Everyone and Happy Mother's Day!  I hope all you mother's out there are having a great day.

I am late in writing this blog......I really did not have much to show last week....so I just kept putting it off.....I worked on the sleeves for Shyla's The Easy One Bulky Sweater.....I had Paige model for me.  Shyla is gonna love this sweater.

Then I got the yarn to make Peyton a sweater like this (I will end up making Paige one too).

And here is mine....I just have about two inches to go before the ribbing.

This past Tuesday a great friend of mine, Jennifer, showed Darlene and I a dishcloth pattern she was gonna do...and we had to jump in....it started a little trend for me and I did 4 dishcloths this week (none are blocked)....they were so much fun.  Thank you Jennifer for kicking me and Darlene in the dishcloth direction...it was exactly what we needed!

Yesterday I went to my sister's house for an early Mother's Day celebration and Erich got me an amazing digital frame (here is a picture of Grace and Sean in the frame)....its a Nixplay where you can add pictures straight from your phone....I love it!

And Paige got me a real doggie gate for my front hallway...right now I have a ghetto baby gate that is constantly falling down and you have to step over and it is just all that great....but I cannot wait for this one to arrive....it should be here tomorrow.

Well, I know that is not a lot...but it is really all I have right now......Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Hoppy Easter! He is Risen!!

I hope you had a fabulous Easter Holiday! 

With all the Hoppy Fun I had with my grandkids this past weekend....sometimes it is easy to forget why we have this Holiday.....Alleluia!  He is Risen!

I am gonna go thru the knitting stuff first....and then I have TONS of pictures for you.  Not only of my grandkids for Easter...but also of Shyla and Tim's wedding....it was beautiful and all the shawls looked fabulous! (pics at the end).

I finally blocked the mystery item...and once I am allowed, I will share pictures.

I got to the 4th color on my Fade....it is the Lucille that Darlene let me have...I am in love with this yarn.

I also worked on my And Then Some Shawl....I am a little worried to see if I have enough of the Deep Sea Jellyfish left after section 4...but it says I only need 10% , and I have a little more than that...we will see.

I also started this VooDoo You Love doll for Antonio...I just need arms and legs :)

I got some new linen yarn....I have this in Black, Red, Grey, Green, and Pink.  I want to make a Whippet with this yarn...not sure what color yet.

Then, Dyakcraft went and 'Did it again"....they posted this on Instagram:

Which resulted in me buying a pair...

Now that Antonio lives at my house....we have been doing lots of stuff and I have not been able to knit as much as I usually do...but that is okay...I am having a blast with him.  We got new I SPY Books (we look for things every night before bed)

And he has been painting (Move over Picasso!)

We even went on a walk at the park (yes, you read that right....I did some physical activity) and he saw a snake...and we might have brought back a little hitchhiker.

Then, I got a badge for the neighborhood pool and he loves to swim and play at the park there (We actually have a lot of nice amenities in the neighborhood):

Saturday we went to the greatest wedding ever....Congrats Tim and Shyla!!!

Here is the Shyla with her shawl that Darlene made and her Maid of Honor (her daughter, Peyton) on the right with the Celestarium I knit.

Then I got a few pics of all the ladies with their shawls....but this is probably the best one I have.

Then, Celeste and Cat came over on Saturday evening....and spent the night so we could all do an easter egg hunt together.....oh what fun.  I leave you with Easter Fun Picture Overload:

Lastly....Precious has dumped me for Antonio....she sleeps with him now...LOL!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!!!
