Another year around the sun!

I had a great birthday weekend!  Had the weekend off so I was able to spend lots of time with my family.  My oldest had two games this weekend and it was so much fun to watch him play, he loves it so much.  We also celebrated my little ones birthday with my parents, sister and her kids on Sunday. He doesn’t really understand what’s happening yet so we get to celebrate when we are able to 🙂.
I got exactly what I wanted for my birthday, being with my boys...plus my needle set 😉.  It’s sooo pretty.

 I can’t wait to start using them and have been working hard to try and work on my current projects to get some of them finished before I cast more on!  But I already have two projects that I will be doing using these, one a Christmas gift and the other is maybe even for me...we’ll see.

I also bought a yarn winder yesterday, just a cheaper one from Hobby Lobby.  I have some yarn on its way for my next knit a long with Purl Together and it’s a absolutely gorgeous shawl wrap that I can’t wait to start!  I’ll post some more information about that when I get the yarn and start the project!

Until next time, hope everyone is doing well!

Yay!!!

Well this weekend is my birthday and my amazing hubby got me the Chiagoo 4” needle set!!  I can’t wait to get them tomorrow.  I am super excited, and he just doesn’t get how that’s what I really wanted for my birthday.  What can I say?  I am completely addicted to the craft.  In fact I am planning a birthday trip over to my local yarn store to see what kind of goodies I can pick up!  And yes I know I have so many projects working right now, but one of my two favorite You Tube bloggers (Purl Together) is going to be starting a gorgeous shawl project November 1st.
My other favorite (Very Pink Knits) is doing a giveaway for a different shawl kit that looks unbelievably amazing!  If I were to somehow get super lucky and win one of the kits that may be the first thing I make and keep for me!

On a down note, my Astros are getting horribly robbed in the ALCS.  ☹️  There will definitely be some mourning when their season ends.  Unfortunately their bats aren’t alive, yet, and it makes me soo sad!  My nerves are about shot and anxiety is throught he roof!  But there will always be next year, I will always love my Astros!

I will be back by Monday to show pictures of my new needle set and any yummy yarn I pick up!

Go, go, go!

As I sit here having my morning caffeine, watching the Today show and listening to Curious George playing in little C’s room I think of all the things I need to get done today.  But I also realize that most of it will probably not get done.  I have already been super productive this morning by doing some grocery shopping and making breakfast.  As breakfast was being prepped I did straighten up the kitchen, so that’s good right?    

The weather outside finally feels like fall, it’s absolutely beautiful, nice and cool with little to no humidity.  I feel so lucky, our area made it through this season with no hurricanes and I feel awful for all of those who were in Michaels path, I pray for safety for all who stayed and hunkered down.  

We are still working hard with little C, he will be two at the end of the month and is still not talking, and since he has been tested and was found to be delayed but not enough to receive therapy for it we are still trying to get him to open up.  I know he has the vocabulary since he knows what we are telling him, he just has to figure out how to get those words to come out!  I just can’t believe that my baby is about to be 2!  He has such a happy personality with a wild streak, he’s always moving!

H has been playing call baseball and he loves it.  The first two weeks found practices and games rained out but we finally got to play two games last weekend and have another game this Saturday.  This weekend will be a rough one for me, full of no sleeping.  I am scheduled to work both Friday and Saturday night.  There’s a morning game Saturday, so I’ll be getting up after just a few hours of sleep.  Sunday is church and then my niece’s birthday party at American Girl store.  So I grabbed some energy drinks from the store this morning (I know it’s not super keto, but gotta do what I gotta do to stay awake), so wish me luck as I struggle through work this weekend 😳.  

I am still doing the MyMagazineSharing missions and had one for the puppies 🐶.  In the box was a box of Milkbones and a thing of Nature’s Recipe wet dog food.  My dogs loved the Milkbones!  And since my dogs don’t do wet food, I passed that along to my parents.  They gave it to their puppies the other day and they both loved it.  My mom liked it because she said it was more like chicken than some of the  foods they’ve tried, she didn’t have to really stir much to mix it up with their dry food.  #FreeSamp#mymagazinesharing#foryourpets

Well I think the rest of the day is going to be playing with little C and working away on my Christmas gifts!  Hope y’all are having a great day, til next time!
