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!

So much going on!

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I have so much going on.....I do not even know where to start!

I guess I will start with my son is getting married.  Yup, to this amazing lady, Nicole.  She goes by Coley.  She has a beautiful goddaughter named Mia. Unfortunately, Mia is in the hospital right now, but I got this pic of the two of them.

Coley lives in Scotland and she is flying in this Friday, they will get married next Thursday, the 10th of April!

Antonio had another golf tournament this past Tuesday.  His school did not make it to the tournament on the 9th of April, but he had fun and played well.

 We got Amira a miniature "yeti style" cup.....she love it....and is the cutest drinking out of it!

I was able to block Grace's sweater and get it in the mail to her

My sister washed a store bought sweater that shrank, so I re-blocked it by stretching it out for her......I DID NOT MAKE THIS SWEATER...just blocked it

I also made a hat for my fiber fairy recipient.....her birthday is in April and her favorite color is red.

Our washer broke, so we ordered a new set.  Lupe installed them.  If you know me, you know I am a pretty fierce independent woman and can do pretty much anything around my house (and have done plenty on my own), but it is really nice that Lupe does it all and that he wants to do it <3

Speaking of Lupe, here he is with our babies

We also went to a place called Rolando's Tacos....let me tell you, these tacos are HUGE (I brough 1/2 of mine home) and absolutely delicious!!!

Yesterday we went to a tropical express for a sour mangonada.....but also got nachos and frito pie...

my last bit of amazing news......Sean and Leilani are expecting!

I have already purchased yarn for neutral color (where I will join a KAL at the same time)

and some pink yarn

I already have a boy blanket in the works:

Lastly, I really thought I would be done with the shawl I am crocheting for Coley, but that is not the case.  I think last week I said I had less than 100 grams, but I was wrong.  I had 116 grams and I am now at 55 grams....so, 61 grams completed this past week and less than that to go!  I really want to finish this in March.....but it is the 31st and I am not sure how much I will get done tonight.  We will see.  I have finished 7 things in March, and this would make 8 (Unicorn Wrap, matching hat for Unicorn wrap, Playstation cover, Cold hearts Hat, girl shell stitch blanket, Grace's pullover, and the Crystal Lattice Beanie for my fiber fairy recipient) :)

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Wedding of the Century!!!

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I am well.  I am sorry I did not post last week.  It was a crazy week.

Approx the day after my last post, I looked at the weather forecast for January 11th (date of my newphew's wedding).....and it said it was going to be COLD!  So, being the genius that I am, I decided to knit a sweater in 8 days.  After I started I knew I would run out of yarn, so the sweetest lady I found on ravelry agreed to overnight me some of the same yarn she had in her for sale or trade section....and I did it!

I ended up being a little too hot, but my mom was freezing so I gave her the sweater (I know she looks mad, but I promise she is not, I just shot the pic at the wrong time.

That is pretty much the only thing I have knit on since the last post....so now I need to jump back on darlene's sweater and the unicorn wrap I am making.

Other than that, I have been of course trying to eat healthier with some food prep

I got some super cute ziplock bags with dogs on them (quart size, now I am looking for Gallon size)

Lupe got his new Joe Montana Jersy and Paulette made him some slippers (she is the greatest friend), plus she sent me a cute Christmas ornament

I got a message from Coley that she got the package I sent her to Scotland for Christmas and the cutest girl in the world (Mia) loves her USA Sour Patch Kids (she says the scotland ones are not the same).

Lupe got a great pic of him with his pops and the hats I made them

Plus a pic of Lupe looking handsome

Here is a pic of Antonio and Amira.....these two are my world!

Now, before I give you a huge dump of wedding photos....I just want to say the cold sucks.  Here is my Flower who also thinks it is too cold...LOL!

Okay....here is the Wedding of the Century....Congrats Sean and Leilani!

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
