First day of School for Big Brother!

 Hey everyone! I hope you had a great weekend.  I did, but it was too short.

I finished the last min crochet blanket and took to baby shower on Friday evening

and Sean and Leilan's shower was yesterday....they loved the blanket I made them

Antonio started school last week......Sister Amira was not a fan of day one pictures.

but she lovese the rabbit her brother got her

I got my prize yarn from the Teemant Shawl.....this yarn is gorgeous and so soft....the pics do not do it justice!

I ordered yarn to make Amira a Bluey....she loves the cartoon.  It will not be as amazing as her rabbit, but I am sure she will still like it.

My hummingbird, whom I have named Ziggy, loves my feeders where he can sit down....he has become quite lazy (as do all my pets....LOL)! I have 4 feeders, but his favorites are the ones with a place to sit and eat.  PS, I am certain I have more than one humming bird come and drink....but they are all called Ziggy....LOL!

I finally got to work on my Wilfreda (it has been neglected)

and I am catching up on the test knit.

Lastly, I got gorgeous flowers from Lupe

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

I might have bitten off more than I can chew!

 Hey everyone.....How are you?  I am hanging in there....but as far as knitting, I might have bitten off more than I can chew....LOL!  I have my staple socks that I started in Late June.....well, they are due Wednesday by midnight ET....yup, 2 days.

I was able to finish my sister's Ledberg (I have one end to weave in, but it is blocked).

I also won some yarn with that Teemant Shawl KAL....yeah me!

I got some yarn off a ravelry destash from kari1276.  I saw it and thought it was so pretty I want to make a lace shawl with it.

Back in June I ordered the Summer Soiree box from Grace and Purl yarn shop in NJ....it had Chelsea yarn in it.  I love the whole box (but it was pricey at $180 plus $10 shipping).  My box was beaten up pretty badly....but thankfully, everything was intact except one stitch marker.  I have emailed them and asked if it is replaceable.

I am dying to cast one something with this new yarn.....LIKE YESTERDAY!!!  I am thinking maybe the Embrace Cowl by Andrea Mowry or a hat (maybe two), I have not decided.  Any suggestions?

The Emika Shawl KAL has started in A Place to KAL My Own.  Here is my start and where it is now.

I also finished the 3rd pattern for the advent shawl test knit...I am hoping to start the 4th pattern today.

Lupe and I saw some Peacock's out in a neighborhood the other day....we drove back by to take pics.

And we went on another hike this past weekend to get ready for this Saturday when we go to Los Maples State park for a hike for his birthday (the 10th).

Did you know that when a dung beetle moves things, they do it backwards?  with their back legs and their front legs on ground!

And......Darlene's yarn should be delivered today (JBW was out of these colors so she got antique lace...I think it will be gorgeous) and I cannot wait to start Wilfreda with this yarn

Plus, I have not started joining Antonio's AI blanket squares and I really need to get on Darlene's Birthday Present...I think it will take me months.....soooooo, as you can see, I have tons of things I need to knit and finish and start and.......breath!  LOL!

Lupe and I went downtown to a place that has a bunch of food trucks.  I got some birria tacos and Lupe got the most amazing nachos ever.....you can probably guess I ate more of his nachos than my tacos!  

My newphew and his wife (Sean and Leilani) started a new coffee business Called Lei'd Back Coffee.....so we went and supported him and bought a few latte's and some of his coffee concentrate.

I did not have any fun memes or words of wisdom this week (I guess I was not on social media that much), but I leave you with a pic of Flower....this is is how she helps me all day while I work...LOL!  Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
