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!






Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

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!!

Was the Luck of the Irish with you?

 Hey everyone!  Happy belated St. Patrick's Day!  I hope you had the luck of the Irish with you!  I did.  Look at what my fiber fairy sent me (it matches my St Patrick's Day nails)!




I also got yarn for Lupe's Niece's (Nia's) blanket:


And barely got it started.


Last week after a my HRT and Dentist appt, the weather was so fabulous that Lupe and I went and had margaritas and appetizers on the El Chapparel Restaurant back porch.  It was wonderful!




Lupe, again got me gorgeous flowers





And Paige posted a pic of Tone with his braids done.  He is so handsome!



I finished one girl crochet blanket.



I have been working on the crochet virius shawl in pink for Erich's Girlfriend.  She comes from Scotland in April and they are going to get married!  I am so excited for them!



Lastly, I worked on Grace's sweater but I think I need to rip back the sleeve.  It is too short.  I sent her a text asking if she wants the body longer too.  I am waiting to hear back.  It is doubtful I will be done by Friday (Her birthday), but I am trying!



That is all I have.  Have a great week!







Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
