Advent Time!

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I am well!  Its almost advent time.....I got two yarn advents last week.  

First Chelsea Yarns...today I have some mohair being delivered as I am pretty sure I will need it for the "suggested" pattern.

I also got Suburban Stitcher

I got some skeins of yarn last week that I ordered to make hats

I got to see Jonah for the first time!

and Lupe made me the most delicious Chicken, Broccoli and cheese caserole ever!

We went to costco to get the hand pulled rotisserie chicken and let me tell you, that stuff is the bomb!  and super tasty for chicken breast! 

Now, do you like bell peppers?  I LOVE bell peppers but I do not like preparing them....then the little mini ones came out and I like them even more as they are not as thick as a full size pepper, but what a pain to get the seeds out......well, they have SEEDLESS mini bell peppers at Costco and these things are the bomb!!  Like you have to try them if you like bell peppers.  I just put 5-10 on a plate and eat them straight (sans the green top part)......so yummy!

I bet you are wondering if I have knit anything....well, I have.

I worked on my test knit....pattern 6 done.  This was the largest pattern and used the most grams so far.  I also worked on Vera's Sweater...I am almost to the ribbing and then I just need the sleeves.

I also worked on both of my One Love MKAL's....it doesn't look like it, but the rows are long and it is not growing as fast as when the rows were shorter.

I also realized I have not started a single christmas ornament and I need 6....so I started one.

Lastly, Lupe got me the most amazing essential oil diffuser....it looks like a fireplace with orange or blue flames coming out....I absolutely love it!  I bought some new oils and right now I have Lemongrass in it...I love this scent.

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Veteran's Day!

 Hello everyone!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  I have been doing as much knitting as possible and I think my mojo is finally back.  Later today, I should have my 2 yarn advents delivered.  Chelsea yarns and Suburban Stitcher.  I was only going to do Chelsea yarns, but when I saw that Suburban Stitcher had greyscale pop, I thought I would have FOMO, so I ordered it too.

Tomorrow is Veteran's Day!  So to all who served, Happy Veteran's Day!

I also had a couple of yarny mail days.  I got this pink and black kit from Biscotte Yarns.....I just love it!

and I found these Barnyard Knits skiens on Facebook in a destash.....they are perfect!

As far as knitting goes, I did one clue on the test knit....I am waiting on next clue.  However, I got some other knitting in too.......I finished this hat:

Joji's One Love clue 2 came out so I finished clue 2 on both the shawls I am making.

I washed all dog beds this past week....I can never quite get the pillow to go back in evenly, but the dogs do not seem to mind....LOL!

Lupe and I went to Fredricksburg this past weekend and we did not get a single pic....but look at the amazing socks Lupe got me.....he knows me so well!!!

And this cutie had a Gymnastics event this past week.....isn't she adorable!

This past weekend, Lupe and I went on a hike at Pedernales Park.  We wanted to go back to Los Maples, but they were booked, so we have a reservation to go there on the 22nd.  So here is my photo dump from this past weekend.  I hope yall have a fabulous week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

I love falling back!

Happy Monday everyone......did you change your clocks?  I think this time change twice a year is crazy....but.....I love it in Fall when we "fall back" and gain an hour.

The health app from my watch/phone tells me how much I love it!  LOL!

I think a while back I told you that I found an adorable "Jack" from the nightmare before Christmas outfit for Amira.....well, it is even more adorable on her!

This is the outfit she wore to daycare and then she was Moana for Halloween evening, but Paige forget to get Moana pics.....Also, Antonio was not feeling well from Tuesday evening all the way to Friday....so he did not even go trick or treating.....poor guy....but the good news is he is finally feeling better.

It has also been a bit chilly here in South Texas.....this is me getting ready to walk the dogs the other day

and the house was so cold, I continued to wear the wallaby as I worked

I am not sure if I told you guys that Lupe gets points at work and then he can use those points to get things....well, he got a vacuuming robot....and I have to say....I am pretty impressed with how much it gets on a daily basis.....since it usually just goes around everything, I picked up all the dog beds so it could get to the corner of the living room.....it did very well.

Lupe also bought me a comforter from Coma Inducer.....If you like a big heavy blanket (like I do....but I have no clue why because I almost always sweat at night, but I sleep better with a big blanket)....then check out Coma inducer.....We went with a green and this thing is like 20 lbs.....and super soft and fluffy.  Flower is not suppose to be on the bed (except Friday nights when Lupe works late and then the dogs get in bed with me....but clearly she really likes this blanket...I was trying to sneak a pic from the living room but she caught me.

Now for the knitting......anyone else doing the Joji One Love MKAL?

I am......I was looking for a certain yarn and could not find it (surprise, surprise!)....so I used this yarn that Lupe picked....Darlene says it looks like Candy Corn and she is right.

Here is clue 1 completed.

Then I could not stop thinking of the skein I could not find......so I found it....LOL!  The colorway is called Carrie and I love it......so here is clue 1 finished with this one too.

I also worked on my test knit....sorry, no pics.

Lastly, I worked on this Willow River hat

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

Here are some gorgeous roses that Lupe got me. <3

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
