Happy Birthday George Washington!!!

It is President's Day and George Washington would be 286 (or something like that) now.....he was born in the Gregorian calendar and I am not sure how it all works....but Happy Birthday!

I am thrilled because I have off today...and I love a day off.  I took Friday of last week off too so I could have a 4 day weekend.  I have enjoyed it, but unfortunately it is almost over....I have to go to work tomorrow.

So what have I been up to?  Well, believe it or not, this lazy lady did some organizing/cleaning.  I got some toy boxes for Antonio and some storage bins and did some rearranging and cleaning here and there....my feet were killing me yesterday but they are a bit better today....I will continue with some cleaning here and there.

Here is one of the new toy boxes

I finished my sister's ranger cardigan!  First, I had her try it on last Monday when I saw her...I was still working on the button bands.

I also finished my MKAL LoveFool socks....I did get the middle cables wrong, but I still love them

I worked on my temperature blanket and got caught up....I do not think I ever showed my color card that Darlene made us......here are the colors and temps:

Lastly, I worked on my Portage...I am loving this yarn!  It is so wonderful to work with.....I would love to have this done in time for the cruise.

Speaking of the cruise, I got my yarn kit with bag yesterday......I love it!!

And my mommy and daddy got me prescription sunglasses for the cruise for my birthday present

Well, that is all I have....Have a great week!!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Cold, Cold....go away!

Man has it been cold lately....just when I thought we were out of the cold (and I got to put some 80 degree weather in my temperature blanket), Bam!  it gets cold again.  This morning was 29 degrees here.....I want some warmer weather.....but then again....I do knit for days like these :)

So what have all ya'll been up to?  Me....I have been knitting my fingers to the bone on my sister's sweater.

I worked on it all week and finally blocked it yesterday......Now it just needs the underarms seamed up, and the button band and the button hole band :)

While it was drying yesterday, I worked a little on my socks....clue 4.

And that is all I knitted on....I hope to finish the sweater and these socks this week.

As far as other shenanigans.....I had Celeste, Antonio and Jaz this past weekend.....Jaz is 6 months now....can you believe it?

 Chris stopped in for a visit too!

The only other think I have is that I got some new luggage last week for the cruise (the large one should be delivered this week).....it is getting real people....48 days to go!

 The weather has been grey and gloomy all week, but we did squeak out one nice sunrise :)

Have a great week everyone!!!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
