Home From Vacation!

Hey everyone.....I hope you are all well.  We went on vacation last Wednesday and came home yesterday.  It was fabulous.  I will do a picture dump at the end of this post.  Let me say Happy June to everyone!

 The only thing I worked on last week was this sweater....top down knit pullover in a beautiful burnt orange from purl soho yarn

When I got home yesterday I pulled out the test knit and did a couple of rows.  I have decided to use the beads for now.  I am not sure if I will do all the beads recommended by designer....we will see.

and had 3 needlepoint kits waiting in my mailbox.  I cannot wait to work on these.  They are Key Fobs and have a holder with each one (Paige, Darlene and Carrie)

I did not eat the best on vacation and my waistline is showing it, so I made a smoothie this morning and have not lost any weight yet....LOL!!!

With vacation, that is really all I have......here is the photo dump.  Have a great week!

We had an adorable cabin

and we went with great friends....everyone loves Uncle Lupe!  

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy 2nd Birthday Amira (and Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers)!

 Hey everyone......how are you?  I have had a crazy week but hanging in there.  Not too much knitting, but lots of fun.

First......Amira's 2nd birthday!  I finished Bluey!

We got her a bluey chair and some clothes (I did not get pics of the clothes but they included Bluey PJs)

She loved it.....took her to play in the moon jump!

A couple other pics from the party

As I was seaming Bluey, I realized my tissues, energy drink and laptop all matched so I had to snap a pic!

and my favorite flowers ever!  I love looking at these on my desk!

Next was Mother's Day....I hope all Mothers reading this had an awesome Mother's Day!  Earlier in the week my babies (Jackson, Flower and Purl) paid to get my nails and toes done.....I love them!  Lupe said I should do something different like blue or purple so I went with purple and some daisies!

Aren't they cute!?!  On the actual day......Lupe got me more flowers (he really does spoil me) and we went to see my mom.

We saw Lupe's mom too, but I forgot to get a picture.  It was the first time anyone had navigated to her columbarium so I sent instructions to the family on how to get there.  My dad went and he was so happy he had directions to go see her.  Lupe and I went by his house and I swear my mom is looking after him.....here is a hawk that was keeping an eye out!

We also borrowed my dad's wheel barrow and an extra shovel because Lupe had some top soil dirt delivered.....6 cubic yards!

and he got busy putting the dirt down (look at my sexy fiance)!

He also made the most delicious brisket.....it was sooooo good and we have lots of left overs.

Lastly....how about some knitting?  LOL!  I worked on Paige's sweater.....I only have 5,428 stitches to go and it is done so I am hoping to finish it this week.  

I got some yarn to make another one of these for myself.....I love the color.  This is Purl Soho Serif in Yellow Ochre color.

Now, as far as the Ankers sweater I want to have finished by the end of this month, well, I am about 11 days behind.....but, I am hoping to double up days for the next 11 days and maybe I can still have it done by end of month to wear to Peyton's graduation party on the 30th!  Fingers crossed.  I have just divided for sleeves.

Well, that is all I have.  I hope you all have an amazing week.  

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
