I love falling back!

Happy Monday everyone......did you change your clocks?  I think this time change twice a year is crazy....but.....I love it in Fall when we "fall back" and gain an hour.

The health app from my watch/phone tells me how much I love it!  LOL!



I think a while back I told you that I found an adorable "Jack" from the nightmare before Christmas outfit for Amira.....well, it is even more adorable on her!



This is the outfit she wore to daycare and then she was Moana for Halloween evening, but Paige forget to get Moana pics.....Also, Antonio was not feeling well from Tuesday evening all the way to Friday....so he did not even go trick or treating.....poor guy....but the good news is he is finally feeling better.

It has also been a bit chilly here in South Texas.....this is me getting ready to walk the dogs the other day


and the house was so cold, I continued to wear the wallaby as I worked


I am not sure if I told you guys that Lupe gets points at work and then he can use those points to get things....well, he got a vacuuming robot....and I have to say....I am pretty impressed with how much it gets on a daily basis.....since it usually just goes around everything, I picked up all the dog beds so it could get to the corner of the living room.....it did very well.


Lupe also bought me a comforter from Coma Inducer.....If you like a big heavy blanket (like I do....but I have no clue why because I almost always sweat at night, but I sleep better with a big blanket)....then check out Coma inducer.....We went with a green and this thing is like 20 lbs.....and super soft and fluffy.  Flower is not suppose to be on the bed (except Friday nights when Lupe works late and then the dogs get in bed with me....but clearly she really likes this blanket...I was trying to sneak a pic from the living room but she caught me.



Now for the knitting......anyone else doing the Joji One Love MKAL?



I am......I was looking for a certain yarn and could not find it (surprise, surprise!)....so I used this yarn that Lupe picked....Darlene says it looks like Candy Corn and she is right.


Here is clue 1 completed.


Then I could not stop thinking of the skein I could not find......so I found it....LOL!  The colorway is called Carrie and I love it......so here is clue 1 finished with this one too.



I also worked on my test knit....sorry, no pics.

Lastly, I worked on this Willow River hat


That is all I have.....Have a fabulous week!

Here are some gorgeous roses that Lupe got me. <3




Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Halloween and Goodbye Daylight Savings Time

I hope everyone had a Happy Halloween and enjoyed the 'extra' hour we got from saying goodbye to Daylight Savings Time!

Okay, on to the knitting.....just about all my time was spent knitting on my Socks on a Plane socks for Loopy Academy Semester 3.




And I managed to finish them!

Paige knows the above socks are for her (she does not like a high foot on her socks) and she is very appreciative...but she has been bugging me to make her a pair of BLACK socks....we all know how much fun it is to knit with black!  So, I got them started....


Other than that....I worked a little on my pillow for Loopy Academy, but not enough to take a picture...maybe next week.

This Friday the newest Stephen West Mystery KAL called The Doodler starts....and Darlene and I are making the exact same one...same colors....I am pretty excited.  She even made us matching bag sets....She is the bestest best friend ever!  Thank you Darlene.....



I got one more bag set from her....I found this material from outside USA and asked her to 'try it'....turns out it is not a very good quality material, so she will not be selling it...but I thought it was pretty cute....too bad the material is not good.


Do you remember last week I was telling you about the yarn from Berry Colorful Yarnings?  It is called Busted Rainbow and it came in...I love it!


I have even wound it already!


Some of my yarn  that I have ordered from Desert Vista Dyeworks came in...the colorways are:  ZomLlamas in Pajamas, Dia De Los Meurtos, another ZomLlamas in Pajamas for Darlene, and London in a Bag.


My last stash enhancement is a book called "Wip-o-pedia".....yup, a place to put all my WIPS in!  I really wish I had thought of this.....Now, I know you guys are wondering how many I got to hold all my eleventy billion WIPS.....I may never tell....LOL!


Well, that is all I have....Here are some Halloween fun pics.....all the candy I bought to have only my grands and 3 other kids come by....


Picture of (from left to right) Mia (Celeste and Cataleya's cousin), Celeste, Yvette, and then in front is Cataleya:





And, by Sunday around 6 pm....someone was just super tired....mom showed up shortly after this picture!


I stole these next two pictures from lovely LSSK ladies....thank you Billie Rae and BJ!





Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
