Sick = lots of progress

 Hey everyone.....how are you?  I have been sick.  I knew I was sick, but when my ring first told me I had minor signs of something straining my body and then 3 hours later it was major signs for 2 days.....I knew I was as sick as I felt.  On top of A LOT of sleeping,  I got some knitting and crocheting done.

My dad did not know I was sick, but he must have sensed it because he brought me Char Sui......yum!

I also mailed off the sweater for Vera along with a knitting package for her to start knitting....it looks great on her and she has the perfect pants to match

I think last week I told you I got my valentines box.....well, I started a Scrappy Granny Tee:

I also ordered some cotton yarn that came in

I started a top down knit pullover with the lime first.....and I already divided for sleeves......because I have only been knitting or sleeping (or blowing my nose).

The only other thing I knit on was my Nuvem and I even managed to get 26 grams of yarn knit on it (lots of progress)!

Valentines came and as always, Lupe spoiled me

Not just with the above flowers but he also bought me new ear buds....now if you know me, you know I am a headphone/earphone JUNKIE!!  And he just recently bought me some apple max headphones.  So, I have....3 pairs bose over ear (all different models of quiet comfort, black, silver and cream), 2 pairs bose quiet control (there is a band that goes around neck so I do not lose the little ear buds), aftershokz with the band around back of neck, Sony Over ear, Bowers and Wilkens Px8's, apple air pods, apple max headphones and now some Shoks over ear buds...these are so awesome!  In my defense (this is a week defense I admit), I wear ear buds or headphones almost all day and like to switch em up for my ears.

On Sunday he took me to the laundry mat the wash our HUGE bed blanket......I do not think I have ever been to a laundry mat (I know, I am super sheltered).  I thought it was so much fun and Lupe thought I was crazy....LOL!

My mom called and I had to go over to her house to help her with her email.....my sister had dropped of pom pom yarn she bought years ago that she decided she is never going to use so I brought it home....  I am in love <3

That is really all I have.....I leave you with AWESOME pics of Amira going to visit my mom on Valentines Day!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hey everyone, how are you?  I know I am early, but I will not be blogging for another week so I do not want to miss saying Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you know you are are soooooo loved!

I ordered a Valentines Box from Chelsea Yarns....Here it is!

The only knitting I have done is on my Nuvem Squared.  I am determined to get this done this year before I hit the 9 year mark (even though I have older things....LOL). It takes about 3.5 grams for one round and I knit 23.5 grams this past week.  

I also was in the mood for some fancy nails....I found this pic online.....

and I went to the salon.....I love the result!

We also got a new Fridge.....I absolutely love it...it is so much larger.

I went to Paige's this past Friday to make them dinner and hang out with them.  I made Risotto

I did not get a pic, but Kody did......

and Paige sent me this one

The following evening Paige, Kody and Antonio went to the spurs game....no doubt that Antonio did not want to be in pic...LOL!

And Bizzle babysat Amira....I snagged this from her Instagram

Lastly, Lupe got me more flowers like he does every week!

I hope you all have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

New Truck and a New Month!!!!

 Hey Everyone!  How are you?  Can you believe it is already February?  I cannot....but I have great news!  My guy bought a new truck.....I am so proud of him.  This is his first ever purchase from a dealership and it is a beauty! He even let me drive it this past Friday to see Ped.....it was a joy to drive and it is even so somfortable to be a passenger.

Okay....knitting.....I have been wanting to order a "enchanged pages" set from Chelsea Yarns for a while now....so when she posted that she had some extras for January, I jumped on it and I am so thrilled I did.  I have even already ordered February's.

I have been knitting on a very very very old project from..........2017.  There is a blog post here from 2017 when Darlene and I were at the lakehouse and we decided to make double nuvem's.  So that means a nuvem that is like twice as large with 600 grams of yarn instead of 300.  I have had mine on the needles since then and have posted about it several times over the years.  My great friend, Jennifer, even took it one year and finished the first skein of yarn.  So I am officially on my second skein.  Darlene decided to frog hers somewhere along the way and I ended up with both of her skeins of yarn.  

Here we are in 2017 starting them

Anyway, I mentioned to Darlene that I pulled out my Nuvem for some mindless knitting and she mentioned that she wanted to do one too.  So, I have restarted hers and got it to the point where you do not need two needles....I am going to ship it to her today.

Here is mine...I managed to knit about 16 grams on mine this past week.

Lupe bought me some Apple Airpod Max Headphones (because he spoils me) and I ordered him some sour candies......I know I got the better deal here......but he does love his candies.

Well, that is really all I have.....I hope yall have a great week.

Happy Happy Happy Knitting.
