Happy Valentine's Day

Hey everyone....it will be Valentines day on Friday so I hope you have a fabulous Valentine's Day!


I got some super cute Namaste zipper holders.....I love them!


I also ordered some more Knit Picks Comfy.....12 skeins of Fiesta Red and 12 skeins of Peony ( I don't have a pic of the Peony)



I won some yarn from the Swatch Scholar thing I did.  It is super soft, but not really my color....but I am sure I can find something to make with it!


Darlene finished my Christmas present and I LOVE IT SO MUCH!  It looks great on me too!


I finished the hat for Cynthia


Celeste had a UIL competition and I got to see the grands....but I only got pics of Alesso!





I also went to my parents to help load some wood for my sister to take to lakehouse.







I made some healthy Jicama/Mango salad.....its not bad


Then I could not decide what to work on.  So I pulled out my Phoenix



Worked a little on my Mondo Sweater


and then decided I really want to finish my last year Birthday present before I get any presents this year....so pulled out my Vortex!



I think that is all I have.....Have a great week and Happy Valentine's Day!!!!





Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Congrats Kansas City Chiefs!!!

Congrats to the Super Bowl LIV winners, the Kansas City Chiefs.  I was rooting for the Chiefs (Mahomes is from TX after all) but really enjoying the eye candy Garoppolo provided.






And it looks like an early spring for everyone....Punxsutawney Phil (who named him that anyway?) did not see his shadow.....so we all get an early spring!


I came home from work the other day and Jax was clearly super proud of himself....he chewed up a pillow and there were feathers and stuffing everywhere......


But he's such a cutie pie, it is hard to get mad at him (he really was so proud to be sharing all those feathers with mommy)!  I have this small ramp in front of the TV that I got from Darlene...it is meant for the small dogs (Precious and Purl) to climb onto....but Jax just climbed on it the other day....he has a big clear bin full of crap he chews up (books, wood, toys, sticks, etc)....so I assume he climbed up on the ramp to be by his toys....he really does not fit up there...LOL!




As far as knitting goes....I started a new hat for Cynthia....but ran our of the mohair....Darlene has ordered more and as soon as it comes it, I will finish the hat.





I also started on a sweater for me.  Darlene made me a sweater for Christmas.....I get it today, but I have already tried it on once and I LOVE IT....so I want to make more of these sweaters in different colors.  I know I look all weird sticking my chest out, but I am clearly not good at getting my picture taken while modeling a sweater....sorry!



New Sweater:




Joined in round, but have not yet divided for sleeves.


That baby blanket I made for Collins seems to be helpful...here is my cousin holding his new granddaughter



I got some Hedgehogs Fibers Sock yarn in Film Noir off of destash.....just because the price was great and this will give me enough of this yarn to make a large wrap or sweater.


I made some healthy food for the super bowl (as I was alone most of the day)....some deviled eggs and some stuffed bell peppers.


And that is all I have this week.....I leave you with an amazing optical illusion (sorry, I could not help it)....and some other sayings like other weeks.






Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Almost February

WOW....where has the month gone.  It will be February in 2 days....and the superbowl in 3 days!  WOW.  Go Chiefs!  Honestly, it does not matter to me who wins....I am kinda rooting for them both.  Chiefs because Mahomes is from Texas Tech and 49's because Garoppolo is well......HOT AF!!!!


Darlene loves her sweater and it looks great on her!


I finished the baby blanket for my cousin's granddaughter!



I got some of the new Airpods Pro....I LOVE THEM!!!!!



Darlene got me some new swatch measurements thingys from Finland....They are Amazing!



Antonio made a gingerbread house.....I have had him all week since Paige is in Miami this week



I made Darlene's niece a new chemo head hug hat....she is cancer free (thank goodness), but loves these hats!!!!


My master bathroom toilet had a leak and my water bill was like $80 (it is usually like $40)....it was a $6 part....I should have fixed this over a month ago.


Well, that is all I have this week.....I hope y'all have a fabulous week!





Happy Happy Knitting!
