Still No Granddaughter!

 Hey everyone.  How are you. Well, my daughter was due April 23rd.  This past Monday she went to the hopsital to be induced.  Well, after several hours of administering pitocin, they sent her home.  Her contractions were coming in hot.....and then all fo a sudden they kinda slowed down and the intensity was much lower.......so they sent her home.

So, according her her last menstrual cycle, her due date was April 23rd....but apparently there were also 2 sonograms and according to the baby's measurements, that put her due dates at both April 27th and May 4th.....so I guess the dr is taking the latest of the dates.....which is this Saturday.  Now, Paige has been in labor for DDDDAAAYYYYSSSS and she is pretty tired of being pregnant and ready to have this baby.  I think this little girl has a bit of stubborness......and I can only imagine where she gets it from.....LOL!!!!!

So, I finished the crochet blanket and this is just going in a basket for future baby gifts.

After Paige toured the hospital, she told me the hospital was cold and asked me to make the baby a hat......so I made 2

Darlene sent me a jewelry row counter (I used when making the hats) and it is pretty cool....she also sent me tea and some of my favorite pens (and Paige's favorite pens because Paige is always stealing them). <3

Lastly, I had the most delicious salad from Las Palapas the other day I have to share.  It is the Stuffed Avocado (with shrimp) dish and half of the 'al carbon' salad....this was sooooo good, I might get another this week.

Now that I shared a fairly healthy salad....I have to share a story with you from yesterday.  Have you ever heard of a cronut?  Well in some of the romance novels I had read, they are always talking about cronuts (one of the main characters owns a bakery)....anyway, I have been thinking of them for MONTHS...and I aske Paige (who is a lover of all donuts) if she knows where they sell them.....and she pulled them up on a grocery app (HEB which is in Texas only) and they are not called Cronuts (what I had been searching for), but instead Glazed Croissant Donut (how simple).....anyway, so after we left the hospital, I went to Paige's HEB (not too far from mine, but a different one than the one I usually shop at) to get one......and.......

They were totally sold out........so this morning after my workout....I went to my parent's HEB (close to gym) and FINALLY!!!!!!

If you have anywhere that sells cronuts, sometimes croinuts, or just plain old glazed croissants......GO GET ONE......they are delicious!

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Tuesday!!

 Hey everyone.....I hope you had a fabulous Memorial Day!

Last week Paige and I got to hit the gym together, which we have not done in a long time.

I got some new DK yarn that has Nylon in it...it is called West 7th Wool Merino DK

I finished my slipping sideways socks

I finished the March pieces for the Monthly Quilty Blanket and started a couple of the April pieces.

I got yarn for my Monthly shawl kit....this is the May color called Vintage...I really need to get crocheting on that shawl.

I got some new Vitamins....and while I will not buy again, I love this message from Winnie the Pooh.

Here is a picture of my foster, Flower, wanting some attention while I was knitting or crocheting

I've also been TRYING to eat better....and this is currently my favorite salad.  I love it with nuts added, but I ran out.

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

It is February!

 Well, it is February and I am still trying to blog once a week.

Let's jump into it.

I got some new yarn for socks.....these are for Kim...Erich's girlfriend's Ranch owner....she loves turquoise!

I love the speckles in the yarn

One sock is done

I also started a sock for Paige.....in a lime green

I bit the bullet and got the other Jimmy Beans Wool Blanket kit....still trying to decide if I make a blanket or something else with the yarn

I got yarn for Darlene's Next year Birthday present already......she wants another boxy cape....I got Rios in the Sand Storm Colorway

I have been in a puzzle mood....so Antonio and I did this puzzle....I bought seven more puzzles, so get ready to see more puzzles in our future

I finished the scrappy striber sweater for me, but it still needs to be blocked.

I saw a salad on social media that I wanted to eat so bad.....so I finally got the ingredients and ate it...it was soooooo good!

That is all I have....except for my cutie pie dogs.  Jackson got the bed dirty but he was too cute to get mad at.....

Have a great week.....

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
