Will this be my year of more FO's?

 Hey everyone.  How are you?  I am doing great!  I realized the other day that January is not even over and I have completed 5 things already.  Okay, Okay, two were only pot holders, but two were full sweaters.

Here are my first 4 items:

 and this past Saturday I knit a new hat for Lupe.  He might have washed his last beanie and it shrunk a bunch....LOL!

Here is the blocked version of Darlene's sweater

I have gotten a lot of work done on this all pink hugs and kisses blanket

and I pulled out my 4 corners baby blanket and finished color 2 and started color 3.

Lupe was able to fix the pipe leak....Thank you Lupe!!  When I asked him to go to the store to get more bottled water, he not only came back with water, but with flowers for me.  This man is amazing!

He also came home Sunday from work with cinnamon roll centers and this beautiful balloon!  <3

Lupe made me some great salads this past week.....and, my BIL had a birthday and he and my sister went to a cooking class for his birthday.  I thought they looked so cute, I had to share

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

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Happy Birthday Darlene!

Hey everyone!  How are you?  Today is Darlene's birthday and I am going to be late with her present...more on her present later....but here is why I will be late

 Yup, another busted (well, leaking) pipe....this is the 3rd time this pipe has leaked in the last 4 years.  It seems the cold weather causes pressure on the pipe or the tree roots....I am honestly not sure which is the bigger culprit.

We got snow....and while it was below freezing, I had a humming bird come to my feeder.  I was SHOCKED!

Since my last post, I have pretty much done nothing but work on Darlene's birthday present.  So much that my hands were hurting from all the knitting, so I took a short break to crochet 2 dishcloths that look like they have a knit stitch row in them.

Crumbl had their tres leches back this week, but not just regular tres leches, but COOKIE BUTTER tres leches....so this happened

I got that new yarn I ordered from Hobbii.  This will (one day) be a blanket/throw in my living room.

My aunt Natasha was in town from Washington State, so we had a great dinner at my sister's house

Okay.....now for Darlene's present.  The knitting is done, but with lack of water (from leaking pipe), I could not block it.....but now it is blocking and I will give it to her tomorrow!!

That is all I have.  Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!

Wedding of the Century!!!

 Hey everyone!  How are you?  I am well.  I am sorry I did not post last week.  It was a crazy week.

Approx the day after my last post, I looked at the weather forecast for January 11th (date of my newphew's wedding).....and it said it was going to be COLD!  So, being the genius that I am, I decided to knit a sweater in 8 days.  After I started I knew I would run out of yarn, so the sweetest lady I found on ravelry agreed to overnight me some of the same yarn she had in her for sale or trade section....and I did it!

I ended up being a little too hot, but my mom was freezing so I gave her the sweater (I know she looks mad, but I promise she is not, I just shot the pic at the wrong time.

That is pretty much the only thing I have knit on since the last post....so now I need to jump back on darlene's sweater and the unicorn wrap I am making.

Other than that, I have been of course trying to eat healthier with some food prep

I got some super cute ziplock bags with dogs on them (quart size, now I am looking for Gallon size)

Lupe got his new Joe Montana Jersy and Paulette made him some slippers (she is the greatest friend), plus she sent me a cute Christmas ornament

I got a message from Coley that she got the package I sent her to Scotland for Christmas and the cutest girl in the world (Mia) loves her USA Sour Patch Kids (she says the scotland ones are not the same).

Lupe got a great pic of him with his pops and the hats I made them

Plus a pic of Lupe looking handsome

Here is a pic of Antonio and Amira.....these two are my world!

Now, before I give you a huge dump of wedding photos....I just want to say the cold sucks.  Here is my Flower who also thinks it is too cold...LOL!

Okay....here is the Wedding of the Century....Congrats Sean and Leilani!

Have a great week!

Happy Happy Happy Knitting!
