Extra post this week......Lots of new stash!!!!

 Hey everyone.  How are you?  I have lots of new stash so I thought I would make a post of just my new stash that is either already here, or has been ordered and will be here soon and what my plans are for them

First, Lupe took his mother to a radiation treatment yesterday.  I gave her my Suzi Shawl to wear at treatments (since most of those rooms are freezing) and she loves it....so I decided to make her a Noelani in her favorite color.  Okay, her favorite color is Turuoise, but I bought Teal for this one as it was the closest I could find.

Lupe said her hair was starting to fall out, so we went to hobby lobby and got some acrylic and some cotton (In colors named turquoise) for me to make her two Chemo Hug Hats (the pattern was removed from Ravelry, but thankfully I had it in my email)

My friend Star (married to Nick) recently got her first grandchild from one of her sons.  She has been in AZ to help him and her daughter in law ( I have been taking care of her chickens and getting about 8 dozen eggs out of the deal.....yeah!).  Anyway, I sent her one of my Boy crocheted blankets made with Yarn Bee Sugarwheel cotton and her son loved it and asked me to make him 2 more blankets.  One in this Forever Fruity color

One in these Portland timbers colors

I also got some more of the Harbor Wish colorway to make another "boy" blanket

I also ordered some Cashmere Merino Bloom from Purl Soho because I have always wanted a hat for me with this and I got some colors to make some hats for the ppl I love.

That is really all I have for a quick interim blog post....this way, you get to see what I have planned in the near future.

Have a great rest of the week everyone!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

So much going on!

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I have so much going on.....I do not even know where to start!

I guess I will start with my son is getting married.  Yup, to this amazing lady, Nicole.  She goes by Coley.  She has a beautiful goddaughter named Mia. Unfortunately, Mia is in the hospital right now, but I got this pic of the two of them.

Coley lives in Scotland and she is flying in this Friday, they will get married next Thursday, the 10th of April!

Antonio had another golf tournament this past Tuesday.  His school did not make it to the tournament on the 9th of April, but he had fun and played well.

 We got Amira a miniature "yeti style" cup.....she love it....and is the cutest drinking out of it!

I was able to block Grace's sweater and get it in the mail to her

My sister washed a store bought sweater that shrank, so I re-blocked it by stretching it out for her......I DID NOT MAKE THIS SWEATER...just blocked it

I also made a hat for my fiber fairy recipient.....her birthday is in April and her favorite color is red.

Our washer broke, so we ordered a new set.  Lupe installed them.  If you know me, you know I am a pretty fierce independent woman and can do pretty much anything around my house (and have done plenty on my own), but it is really nice that Lupe does it all and that he wants to do it <3

Speaking of Lupe, here he is with our babies

We also went to a place called Rolando's Tacos....let me tell you, these tacos are HUGE (I brough 1/2 of mine home) and absolutely delicious!!!

Yesterday we went to a tropical express for a sour mangonada.....but also got nachos and frito pie...

my last bit of amazing news......Sean and Leilani are expecting!

I have already purchased yarn for neutral color (where I will join a KAL at the same time)

and some pink yarn

I already have a boy blanket in the works:

Lastly, I really thought I would be done with the shawl I am crocheting for Coley, but that is not the case.  I think last week I said I had less than 100 grams, but I was wrong.  I had 116 grams and I am now at 55 grams....so, 61 grams completed this past week and less than that to go!  I really want to finish this in March.....but it is the 31st and I am not sure how much I will get done tonight.  We will see.  I have finished 7 things in March, and this would make 8 (Unicorn Wrap, matching hat for Unicorn wrap, Playstation cover, Cold hearts Hat, girl shell stitch blanket, Grace's pullover, and the Crystal Lattice Beanie for my fiber fairy recipient) :)

Have a great week!

It's Spring!!!

Hey Everyone!  It is spring!  I am thrilled, but my nose, not so much.  We had some rain with a mini cold front (it will still be in the 80's today)......and it has blown in something that is making my nose miserable.

The good news is I have been hitting my sleep goal again more consistently!

 

Antonio had a golf tournament last Tuesday and he placed 15th out of 33 and his team is tied for 2nd place.

Lupe found a French Bulldog hanging out in our front yard.  Thankfully we found his parents.  He was so cute, soft and friendly!

Grace had a birthday (shes 25!) and I finished her sweater.  I just need to block it and mail it.  Look at how adorable she was when born.  My kids (25 years younger) holding her and me at her baptism!

I made some fideo the other day.....it was actually really good.

I also pulled out my CSM to crack some ankle socks for a friend in The Netherlands.  However, a needle jammed and busted and it put a dent in my cam.  I have sent an email to erlbacher to see if they can replace it or what I need to do.

Lupe got me more flowers....the balloon kind.  I love them!

I worked on the virus shawl for my son's fiancee a lot this week.  I have less than 100 grams to go.

Well....that is all I have.  And since I showed Antonio and Grace....now I have to show Amira!  

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!!
