Not Much Going On......

 Hey everyone.....sorry I am a day late.  I do not have much going on in the knitting department.  I only worked on one thing....the test knit:



I am hoping to finish chart 3 later today.


We had terrible rain yesterday (even causing some flooding) and it has given me a killer headache.....all those lightning bolts to the left of SA is my area.



When we went on vacation last week I saw the little girl, Vera, where she loves to see me knit and I mailed her a little knitting kit so she could practice.....well, I got a video of her practicing.  



Lupe bough me beautiful flowers....Look at this adorable boot some of the flowers were in






My bell peppers are almost ready to pick!  One is orange and I have two that are red and one is still green:






Lupe and I went to see my dad this past week and look at this doe just staring at us.....I think she wants to ask us if we have any corn....LOL!





Lastly, I finally talked Lupe into getting a good pellet grill.  I wanted him to ge a traeger, but he said those were too expensive but we found this pit boss on sale ($300 off) at costco.  He loves it.  It has an app where he can see the temperature and set the temp and see if the inside of the meat is a certain temp.....he was playing with it on Sunday and I was so happy!





That is really all I have this week.  I hope to have more next week (but first, my headache has to go away...my allergies have been worse this year than any other year!)



Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Home From Vacation!

Hey everyone.....I hope you are all well.  We went on vacation last Wednesday and came home yesterday.  It was fabulous.  I will do a picture dump at the end of this post.  Let me say Happy June to everyone!




 The only thing I worked on last week was this sweater....top down knit pullover in a beautiful burnt orange from purl soho yarn



When I got home yesterday I pulled out the test knit and did a couple of rows.  I have decided to use the beads for now.  I am not sure if I will do all the beads recommended by designer....we will see.



and had 3 needlepoint kits waiting in my mailbox.  I cannot wait to work on these.  They are Key Fobs and have a holder with each one (Paige, Darlene and Carrie)




I did not eat the best on vacation and my waistline is showing it, so I made a smoothie this morning and have not lost any weight yet....LOL!!!




With vacation, that is really all I have......here is the photo dump.  Have a great week!


We had an adorable cabin






and we went with great friends....everyone loves Uncle Lupe!  

























Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
