An Exciting New Project to Cast On!!

 Hey Everyone!  I hope you are well.  If you follow me on Social Media (I rarely post there), you know I got an exciting text from my niece.....Grace!

So you know what that means!  More Yarn and a New Project.

Here is the yarn and pattern she picked.  Purl Soho has not shipped yet, but they had a big 25% off all yarn sale, so they said they are swamped.  Hopefully it ships soon!

I should be getting the yarn I ordered for a hat for Amira today, so I am hoping to get that hat started and finished quickly.  I think we only have one more cold snap on the way.  Look how cute she was in last Friday's outfit!

I got an OBSCENE amount of gifts all week from Lupe....he really does spoil me too much!

He spoils the dogs too.  Purl is only missing because she is snuggled in a bed in the other room during this pic

Paige, Bizz and Sam went to the rodeo two weeks ago and it looks like they had a great time.

As far as knitting and crocheting.  I worked on my Unicorn Wrap, a shell blanket for a baby and the good vibes baby blanket for my cousin's soon to be born grandchild...

That is all I have.....Have a great week (and stay warm)!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Valentine's Day

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I am great!  Lupe has been spoiling me all week....and it is not even Valentine's day yet.   

Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Look at all the goodies that Lupe has already given me and it is not Friday yet!

This is some sort of rose in a water globe that I haver never seen before, but I love it.

He also got me some orange roses (fabric) that a coworkers girlfriend made and a Rabbit balloon (he calls me rabbit because I love veggies)

and, he made me the most delicious fideo I have ever had

Then, this past Christmas party with my knitting friends, we decided to fill out forms and pic anonymously a form and then we are that person's "Fiber Fairy".  Well, I have become a complete Fiber Fairy failure.  I sent a package to my person via Amazon and for some reason, by name was on the package along with her name and address....so she immediately knew it was me (I swear I suck sometimes, but I mean well).  Anyway, I tell you all of that to let you know my Fiber Fairy sent me a birthday present.  It is super awesome.  There is tea and tea bags, a pair of socks, lotion, chapstick, and soap.  Thank you Fiber Fairy!

Now for knitting, I finished Antonio's granny square hat

Here he is wearing it

I also finished the blanket for Lupe's soon to be born niece

I started a new "girl" blanket just to have on hand with baby bee Sugarwheel cotton.

And I have been working on my Unicorn Wrap

I also ordered some yarn to make Amira a hat

I have an adorable picture of Amira at Antonio's Golf outing (hitting a bucket of balls....oh, and he made his school's golf team...yeah!):

And Amira with Jaz and Texas <3

My last note is....did you notice that Google maps (not apple maps) has changed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America?

Okay, have a great week everyone.

Happy Happy Happy Knitting.

Six More Weeks Of.......

 Hey everyone...Groundhog's day was 2 days ago and while I do not know if Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow or not.....how about 6 more weeks of knitting!

I have posted on here a few times about how much Lupe spoils me......here are some more beautiful ballones he got me

Well, now it is time for me to spoil him.  He has wanted a larger TV that is OLED, so I got him a 77" OLED EVO TV.....he loves it !

Of course, I love it too.....I already started (re-watching for the eleventy-billionth time) Harry Potter!

So now that we are officially in February, I can say I finished 6 items (I was at 5 items last blog post)in the month of January.  I finished (sans blocking) my all pink Hugs and Kisses blanket on Friday, the 31st of January!

I have really been in a crocheting mood, so Lupe and I went to Hobby Lobby. He picked out some yarn for a blanket for his soon to be born niece, and I got some yarn for a "spare" baby girl blanket.

So far it is looking great

Also, my cousin's son's wife is having a 3rd baby.  This is the family I have previously made the Good Vibes Throw in a Rouge and Blue.  The 3rd child is a girl, so I started a good vibes (baby size) in light pink.

I also wanted to make Antonio a Granny Square hat.  Here is the start

Do you guys know Ali from Savvy Skeins?  Well, I went to her house to help her with her new CSM....I got 1 measly picture of us setting up....LOL!  But I came home with some Bummer (a pic of dropped stitch) shirts and some boots and spurs!

Now for my biggest pride and joy....2 of my grands....Amira and Tone!  The cutest kids on the planet!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
