First day of School for Big Brother!

 Hey everyone! I hope you had a great weekend.  I did, but it was too short.

I finished the last min crochet blanket and took to baby shower on Friday evening

and Sean and Leilan's shower was yesterday....they loved the blanket I made them

Antonio started school last week......Sister Amira was not a fan of day one pictures.

but she lovese the rabbit her brother got her

I got my prize yarn from the Teemant Shawl.....this yarn is gorgeous and so soft....the pics do not do it justice!

I ordered yarn to make Amira a Bluey....she loves the cartoon.  It will not be as amazing as her rabbit, but I am sure she will still like it.

My hummingbird, whom I have named Ziggy, loves my feeders where he can sit down....he has become quite lazy (as do all my pets....LOL)! I have 4 feeders, but his favorites are the ones with a place to sit and eat.  PS, I am certain I have more than one humming bird come and drink....but they are all called Ziggy....LOL!

I finally got to work on my Wilfreda (it has been neglected)

and I am catching up on the test knit.

Lastly, I got gorgeous flowers from Lupe

That is all I have this week....have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Hiking Los Maples State Park

 Hey everyone!  I hope you are well.  Well, we had the great hiking day at Los Maples State Park and it did not disappoint!  I will supply you with a HUGE photo dumo at the end of the post.  First, let me wish Lupe a Happy Birthday!  It was this past Sunday (the 10th) and we hiked on the 9th, so we were a little sore on his actual birthday, but not too bad!

Let me get some of the knitting and crocheting out of the way.......I got some yarn from a destash, it was Hippo for Thanksgiving (a LoloDidIt colorway).  I was super excited to find this yarn as I already had some, but I think LoloDidIt might have changed her formula or something, because my skein and this new skein are completely different (the new skein has more purple/red)....but I still love it! 

I started a Cooma Cowl with the new Summer Soiree yarn I got....I think I am going to love this pattern!

I knit the 4th pattern for the test knit.

I also finished my Staple Socks in time for the KAL

I started my Wilfreda and got through the 2 calbe rows, but I did forget to start the 2nd cable two stitches early so I had to tink a whole row....it was a pain the botty!

Darlene got different colors and I am totally in love!  It is Antique Lace Fingering yarn and Oatmeal mohair.

Lupe got an invite to a baby shower this Friday.....the theme colors are Maroon, Black and Gold, so I ran to Hobby Lobby for yarn and I started an Oceanic Baby Blanket...I need to finish by Friday....wish me luck!

I also made some more bread....I made it the Friday before the hike so we could have sandwiches for lunch.  They were Yummy!

My humming bird, Ziggy!

and my handsome boy (getting spoiled by dad)!

Lastly......Los Maples Park Photo Dump (they copy and pasted in reverse order....sorry)!

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
