Hey there. Thanks for stopping by. I have something to show you.............
The second baby hat and sweater set is completed. I finished it on Thursday. There has not been any news of more babies on the horizon, so I think I am done with baby knits for a while.
Since I completed this, I pulled out my shawl I have been working on since forever.
Remember this? I was only able to get 3 rows on it. It is so big and with the 'furry' type yarn, I really try not to make mistakes where I need to tink back. I did need to do that once this time. This yarn sticks to itself because of its halo, making it a challenge to tink back.
The only other thing I did craft wise was work a bit on my diamond art. I can only work on it for about an hour at a time. It is a bit hard on the eyes. Yet, I am loving it. Stacie finished hers and brought it over to our family gathering to show it off. Darn, I did not think to get a photo of it.
That covers my crafting. In real life news.................
Hubby's sister came to town this week so we had a family gathering at our home yesterday. I set up a taco bar and everyone pitched in something to add to it. We had such a great time. It was really great to catch up with everyone. Here is a little photo of the group.
The only one missing is Josie. She is working the Renaissance Festival so could not be with us. Hubby's sister is the one on the left front. She lives in Colorado so was enjoying our warm weather.
Enrique gave me a bit of a scare this week. I was getting ready to go to bed, Friday night, so went to get him and when I touched the side of his face, he cried out and snapped at me. He has NEVER snapped at me (hubby, yes but not me) We went to the vet the next morning. I was worried his cancer was worse but it turns out it is just an abscessed gum. He is on antibiotics for the next 10 day. The vet checked him out really well and said she could not feel anymore growth in his cancer and he was very stable for now. Phew! He seems better this morning too. He is acting more like himself and eating with gusto.
This was him last night after everyone had left. He was so tired. Our daughter had brought her little dog (Enrique's girlfriend) with them so he was busy following her around for the day. Yes, he is sound asleep in that photo.
That, my friends is all for today. Let me leave you with this piece of advice.
I just found that Diamond Art makes some really cute butterflies for gardens. I am going to give myself a set to use in all the deck pots we put out. Your baby sweater looks fantastic. The shawl is also beautiful.
