ITS DONE......Moondrip Swoncho!

Yahoo!!!!!  It is done!






Darlene has been on an animal/amigurumi kick lately....and she found this cat......it looks like the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland....

So I ordered the yarn in the bottom right corner to make this cat....the yarn is coming from Turkey so it will probably take over a month......but I ordered it....I cannot wait to make it.


I also worked on my crochet blanket


And started a test knit hat....this month is Brioche Month!




That is all I have.....this coming weekend is the Lake house retreat!  I cannot wait....stay tuned for next Monday when I will have PICTURES galore (I hope)!

Have a great week!




Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Busted nails and water heater.......yuck!

What better way to start the week than on a complaint........I busted a ring finger nail that hurts like a bitch! (thanks for listening to me complain and whine!)



Then my thumbnail had a super small tear really far down....

so I cut it off myself so it would not rip...

and it appears Paige has had a water leak from her water heater for a very long time that she recently found....  

Here is the garage damage

The small cabinet with the water heater
 Old one
 New one

Now she just needs the insurance to come and fix the damage....it is already molding.

Antonio had his first basketball game........love this boy!


And grandma bought him some new shoes.  He got some Kyrie 5 basketball shoes that will be shipped to him (His size was not in stock)...red and black since his uniform colors are red and black.
 And some all black Nike's he really liked for everyday wear


Then some ice cream with cookie dough (He's tying his new shoes in the background).


Then home.....he stayed the night with me Saturday night....and Jax was so happy.....Jax does not usually sleep in the bed with me unless Jaime is there or Antonio....well, Jax would not leave Antonio.

This is what I woke to on Sunday morning.




And since this is kinda supposed to be a knitting blog....I bet you wonder what I knitted on?  Only the Moondrip....and some crocheting on the rectangle granny blanket.....after I tore my nail, it kinda hurt to knit.




That is pretty much all I have.....my life is really boring!  I leave you with some dog pics:

Paige took Jaz and Jax to a dog Park:



Here is Paige's entryway.....Haze on the stairs....Chief and Princess in the Kennel (Don't worry, they came out of the kennel as soon as grandma took this picture)


And Haze (Bizz's dog):


Have a great week everyone!  I hope you have a fabulous 4th of July!

Monogamous Much?

So.....we all know I am not a very monogamous knitter or crocheter.....but I have been.....which makes for a super boring knitting/crocheting blog.....but I do have some other things going on in my boring life (well, in Paige and Darlene's life....LOL)......

First....Paige, Antonio, Kody (Paige's boyfriend) and 3 of Paige's dogs all went to the lake house this past week....I know you already got a video last week...but here are a few more pics:






Darlene is making an amazing blanket for her oldest granddaughter, so I am going to try to copy it.





Darlene's daughter, Shyla, has some amazing things in her shop......I have my yarn box next to my knitting chair......love it!




My parents found a nice Russian Market, and we have not had Pelimeni in years.....so they invited me over for some.....it was delicious!



Antonio got some cay and made a colorful mug......we had Trevor (Antonio's friend who has me as his grandma) come over to play (excuse the mess).....and Paige babysat Duke.......





And I only worked on my Moondrip (and that small start of that crochet blanket):



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