I said Absolutely Yes!

 


OMG!  I have so much to tell you all and so many pictures to share.  First.....Lupe proposed and of course I said YES!  I love this life we have!


I posted on FB and Insta and tried to reply to everyone....If I missed you, I am sorry and thank you so much for taking the time to congratulate us!!



First, let me back up a bit......On Saturday we had a BIG Day.  We scheduled to attend a Glass Flower Making Class.  It was so much fun.  We are already planning our next class.  Here are some pics


 
(this is my hand pulling the glass....LOL)




We made these amazing flowers!  We each made a clear (practice) and Lupe had beige/white and I had pink!






Then we had dinner reservations at The Melting Pot.  Neither of us had ever been.  He reserved the Romance pacakge it and came with chocolate covered strawberries and roses.



It was food upon food (and I wonder why I look so large in my pics....LOL!!)!







And then he proposed!  It was perfect and the ring is gorgeous....He did a great job!




On Sunday, Lupe spent most of the day putting together this table for under the new tv.  We still need to rearrange the furniture, but the TV and table look great!  We have matching side tables for our couch, but we have to put them together....LOL!



I spent most of the day continuing to get all my yarn in clear bins that are all the same (instead of a bunch of different shaped bins that lean and fall) and also getting my yarn room ready for a new desk and chair.  We had to go all the way to Seguin to get (I saw on FB marketplace) and going home I thought we were going to lose the quilt or chair or both.....but Lupe's truck has a camera we can watch the bed of truck



Here it is (the desk was in pieces because it does not fit through a door) and we were putting it together till 10:30 pm last night....now my room still has a lot more "work" to be done so no judging.....it is a work in progress (just like my millions of wips)!  Notice my vase of "flowers" on my new to me desk!





I got some more Sandnes Garn Line Yarn.....I think I have shown the blue before but the pink and grey are new






As for knitting.....the only knitting I have done is this bluey for Amira.  Her birthday and birthday party are this coming Friday so I hope I can finish on time!



Well.....that is all I have.  I also have pics of my 3 grands all in one place at my sister's house after my moms services.  Paige took these and it took me a while to get them from her.






Have a great week everyone!





Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Happy Birthday to Jennifer!

 Hey everyone.  I hope you all are well.  I am trying to get back on track to posting on Monday but as you can see, I am a day late......but today is the perfect day to post because it is my beautiful and AMAZING friend's birthday!  Happy Birthday Jennifer!  I love you girl!!!







I do not have much knitting.....just two sweaters.  Ankers for me and the top down pullover for Paige




I have been reorganizing my yarn stash......I think I am going to have about 16 of these tubs.....I have no clue where I am going to put them all....wish me luck!



Lupe wanted this 98" tv, so we got it for him.....he loves it!




And my son continues to kick booty in cross fit.  Here he is with his team




That is all I have.....I hope you all have an amazing week!




Happy Happy Happy Knitting!!

I'm Running on Empty

 Hey everyone!  I am sorry for my totally off schedule post.  It took me almost a full minute to figure out when was the last time I posted and how long it had been.  I was happy to see it had only been 9 days, but that is not great considering I wanted to post 5 days ago....LOL!  


My allergies were in full swing on Sunday and Monday......Lupe and I had a bunch of errands to run on monday and then we saw a movie and went bowling.



On Tuesday I have no clue how I got through the day but my mother's services were beautiful!






We had a fabulous dinner afterwards at my sister's house and I only got pictures of Amira and Lupe playing which was absolutely adorable!!







By the time today got here....I was completely running on empty and sure enough my ring told me that my body is done with me.....LOL!





I finished the Petal of Flowers Shawl but it is not blocked



Darlene and I both started an Ankers Sweater





we both ordred more of the same yarn to make a sweater called Peacock Tee



Lupe had me get this blue and I was weary when I ordered it, but once it got here I was so thankful.....it is beautiful! 


That is really all I have...I hope you all have a fabulous weekend!




Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
