Did we save the time?

Hey everyone....it is officially daylight savings....where I really want to go to bed before 8 pm (that still feels like 9 pm).  I thought I heard that USA is getting rid of this....but I guess not.

So, how was your week?  I started this post last week, but I just kept getting distracted.

I was determined to finish my first hugs and kisses blanket.....and I did......but.  I did an extra row I did not notice and the last two repeats were done backwards.....so the bobbles are on the wrong side! 

So I ripped the whole thing out and then finished.....again!

I have also been plugging away at Antonio's blanket.....it is getting long!  I still have about 9 skeins to finish

I am also still working on the test knit.....but cannot show that one.

Lastly, I have another baby blanket I need to put on my list....so I started this:

Now some fun pics....Antonio was a clown for Halloween and Amira was a bee.  Paige and Kody were bee keepers....super cute!

Here is Amira in a Jeep High chair that Kody's Mom got her.....Paige drives a jeep so it fits perfectly.

Lupe and I went to Costco to get more groceries....my boss told me about these cookies...I should not have purchased...they are addictive.

We also got grapes....look how big they are!

My fave meme of week (maybe year):

Well, that is pretty much all I have.  I hope yall have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

He's a Teenager!

 Hey everyone!  If you have been following me for a while (I started this blog in 2012), you know my grandson, Antonio.  Well, he is officially a teenager!  Happy Birthday to this amazing Teenager!

With his birthday here, it made me pull out his blanket.  I ran into a small snag.  I have 7 skeins of red in a different red than the ther 15 skeins.  So, I had to get creative.  I have so many skeins of regular red, then 3 1/2 of the brighter red, then white, then 3 1/2 of the brighter red and then the same amount of regular red we started with at the end.

I also got in that Feels Like Butta Yarn and started another Hugs and Kisses Blanket

Plus I have made progress on the first Hugs and Kisses Blanket

Then I wanted to start a different crochet blanket and told my friend I was not sure I could make it and she told me I was an excellent hooker!  Love that!

I got another pic of Coley and Mia pumpkin carving

I also pre-ordered a Reading Journal from my Author friend, Maggie Cole.  She signed it and it has page markers and fancy pens.  I love it!

Lastly, I have a pic of my lazy bums!  LOL!!

That is all I have......I hope yall have a great week!  

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Trying to get Organized....

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I think my last post showed you I was trying to get organized.  I suspected I was about 1/2 way done.  Well, I think I am now 97 % done.  I have a few straggling skeins in Antonio's room that I have to organize, but I think so far it looks good.  I cannot believe I got it all to fit in this closet!!!

I am still working on my test knit.  I am almost done with section 6....so about 1/2 way done there, but I cannot show it.

I have decided to try to do this hugs and kisses blanket for one of the 3 girl baby blankets I need to make.  I might even return some yarn to Joann's and get a solid pink from lions brand called Feels Like Butta and make a solid pink blanket with this same pattern.

I do love how this yarn does all the work:

Antonio had a band recital.  He plays the Flute.  He was fabulous and I got to see (and hold) Amira.

Lupe was loving up on Flower and I had to get a picture.

Erich has a girlfriend in Scotland and she has a little girl that is not hers, but a friend's daughter, Mia....but this daugher not only looks almost exactly like Coley (the girlfriend), she is also the cutest girl in the world.....such a sweetie!

Here is Coley:

and Mia

That is really all I have.....Hopefully next week I have more knitting and crocheting and not just organizing!!

Have a great week

Happy Happy Happy Knitting

I'm Functioning!

 Hey!  How are yall?  Well, I am functioning....this is what I mean.

LOL!

I feel like my life is unorganized so......I decided to clean out my yarn room and rearrage my yarn.  Remember when Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman goes back to the sales lady that would not wait on her?  She says, "Big Mistake, Huge!" and she shows all the bags of what she bought.

Well....I am thinking....Big Mistake....Huge!

Here is where I am so far.....and this is only like 1/2 way.  

Yup....its a disaster....I get one bin done, then bamb,  I find more yarn for that bin.  I think I am up to 3 acrylic yarn bins....and I barley use acrylic.  LOL!

I did finish Lupe's Blanket <3

He also bought me some gorgeous flowers for my desk.....I love them

That is really all I have.....I do have some amazing pics of Amira and one with Tone!

That is all I have.....hopefully I have more next week and I am more organized next week!  LOL!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
