Let's Flatten That Curve

So, I have no clue where in this world you are reading this from....but chances are you are facing some crazy times.

Schools closed, Sporting events cancels, travel restrictions, travel bans, bans on groups of 500 or more, restaurants, gyms, movies closing.

Lets all just banned together (do our part to flatten the curve).....and be kind to one another....we all want this virus to go away.  Do I think people are over reacting...yes, but I would rather ppl overreact than under react because we just need this virus gone!  I have more than enough  yarn to last me.

I got new yarn for the Hedgehog blanket that is beautiful

I finished the crochet blanket for Darlene to give to her great nephew

I have yarn to start a final baby blanket for a member of my family ( Zach's wife, Madison, is expecting end of April)

Darlene made me the most awesome Wallaby for my birthday....I love it!!!  Thank you Darlene!

Antonio went to Golf Camp all week....and now he is home from school.....

Ive still been hitting the gym and trying to be healthy.....also, baths are my new way of life to keep my muscles to keep from getting too sore....but I need the book that the Simpson's have!

Antonio made a rice crispy great with bananas and oranges....looked so good.

We also worked on a puzzle together and finished it....I have some more puzzles coming this week!

Lastly, Julie Ann Knitter on instagram is doing a sock challenge #sockknittingchallenge2020 to make an adult pair of socks in one week.....started yesterday (Sunday) and ends Saturday at midnight!

Have a great week everyone....wash your hands, stay home.....

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Daylight Savings

Hey everyone....well, we are officially saving time!  It is Daylight savings time here in Texas and I have never really 'gotten it', I just go with the flow.

My son, Mario, came over this past week to hang my tv for me....I love it hung on the wall....Thank you Mario!

Before

After:

and I paid him with Risotto and love!

I did not do much knitting but I was productive......I had my car washed

Precious got a bath and haircut.

Antonio and I worked on a few puzzles....here is one we finished

My dad had his 83rd birthday this past weekend....I went to their house with Jax (my parents were out of town)....you would think Jax was just waiting for Oma and Opa....hes so cute...I love his ear flop!

Antonio was a goofball stacking ottomans...

I did do some crocheting this week.....Darlene needs help getting one done for her great nephew, so I told her I would take it and work on it..

At one point when I was working on it, the doorbell rang (it was a puzzle delivery) and I dropped my hook for 2 min without realizing it...but that was free game for Jax

Precious just likes to cuddle in the blanket.

The only other thing I worked on was my crocheted blanket/good vibes throw.....

I'm still eating healthy but I only lost 0.66% fat this past month....I need to step it up....so salmon was on the menu

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Fabulous Birthday!

Hey everyone!  I had a FABULOUS birthday!  I got more flowers than I have ever gotten in the past!  It was AMAZING!  First, on my actual birthday, Darlene and Jennifer took me to breakfast....Darlene was going to get me an edible arrangement, but the logistics were a nightmare, so she made me a custom edible arrangement.....The flowers that Jennifer wrapped in amazing knitting paper were beautiful!

Craig got me two boxes of Toffifay (He knows me so well)!

My son's friend sent me flowers and 2 boxes of chocolates....she is so sweet!

Even a couple of days later they are still beautiful!

Paige, Kody and Antonio took me bowling with Nachos, fries and fried pickles!

I even won the 2nd game (Yes, Antonio helped on a few of my frames!)!

On Monday, Darlene and I cast on our shawls

On Thursday I went to see my girls at knit night!

On Saturday I was lazy...but Sunday I scrubbed floors and set up an old bar at my house.  This cast iron bar was my parents' bar....I have had it for a while, but in the garage and a closet.....I am glad I pulled it out, scrubbed it down and set it up.  It looks nice......Oh, I also found a receipt from 1985 in one of the paper bags that was covering the seats for storage.

Then it was time to go to my sister's house for dinner on Sunday for my mom's amazing Cannelloni!  Now, one would think I would get pictures of this amazing food...but nope....I forgot.  My nephew was bit by one of the dogs (two of the girls fight for dominance sometimes) so he had to go to emergency clinic and well, the food was amazing....so I was darn near licking my plate and forgetting all about pictures!  Here are Sean's stitches:

My sister got flowers for me, Paige and my mom.....my mom took home pink, Paige got yellow and I got white.....they are gorgeous...this is my 3rd set of flowers for my birthday week.....just an all around amazing week....I am so blessed!

 
I did do a little bit of knitting.  I got the vortex semi divided for sleeves, but now it is time to figure out the color work (which was far too much thinking for me at the time):

I did want something a little mindless and this sweater is so close to being done....I pulled it out and did an inch or so.  Just about 5 or 6 more inches and some sleeves and I should be done.

Well, that is all I have.  Have a great week!  Here is a beautiful picture from Paige's social media and some fun sayings.

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
