Losing a loved one :(

 Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well and warm now that we are officially in Spring.

If you have followed me for a while you know my mom has had a number of ailments and diseases for many years.  Well, she has declined rapidly over the past weekend and is now in the last stages of life.  I just pray she goes quickly and peacefully.  I have worked from my parent's home today and done everything we can do to keep her comfortable.  She will go to a skilled nursing facility tomorrow.  Please keep her in your prayers for me.

I did manage to make her two more pairs of socks.  I did not got a picture of these finished (just the one) but I did do two of them...these are just tubes with no heels.  They seem to fit her better.

Then I made these last night (they remind me of an easter egg)

I decided to stop the Tango Nuevo Shawl I was doing in the KAL for Larisa Beretovitsky  (just taking too much concentration from me that I do not have) and decided to start her Petal of Flowers Shawl instead with these colors.  Here is my start and the Tango Nuevo I have taken off the needles:

I finished this for Lupe's Great Nephew

I also worked on both my sweaters.  One knit and one crochet.  I am super close to dividing for sleeves on the crochet one which I have never done so I am a bit nervous.

I went to see Paige and family this past Friday and she made the best salmon bowl and I got to hang out with this cutie but Antonio was at a golf tournament.

I think I mentioned that last week Paige made Lupe some amazing brownies....well, I tried to make them but I think I have come to the realization that I need a new oven because I had to cook it twice as long as Paige said to and Lupe said it was still a bit gooey in the middle.....It will take practice but I hope to get this recipe down.

My dad got me and Lupe a T-bone steak and Lupe cooked it last night and it was perfect.

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!!!

Valentine's Day in January

Hey everyone.  How are you?  I am well.  Lupe continues to spoil me and gave me almost all my valentine's presents early.  I love them all!  

I got Lupe a ridiculously funny sponge holder he saw and said he wanted.

I have made 2 more hats.....these are for me since I did not finish them in time for Darlene's package to get sent.

 

Lupe has been bringing home some great Monster drinks and I have been trying some of the sugar free ones.

Lupe had an appointment for a consultation for Lasik surgery and his surgery is scheduled for this coming Friday....I am so excited for him, I still remember how great it was when I got it done 22 years ago.

On a sad note, a well known lace designer lost her husband suddenly and unexpectedly, so we are having a KAL in the  KALMYO group.  I have decided to try Tango Nuevo....I am enjoying it, but lace is harder for me, so I am not very fast at it.

My sister has requested some more Ballband Dishcloths...so I have started some for her, and also plan on making some for my mom and myself.  Here is what I have so far.

That is all I have this week...besides some adorable pics of Jackson sneaking in the bed for a nap.....LOL!

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
