Threes

 Hi Dear  Blog Readers....The 2nd busy week is over and now next week will be much quieter for me!  Yea!  I  had a little procedure on my hip this week, and after a painful expected day after...I think it's a little better...yea! 

Today I finished up Mason's Buffalo Bills sweater. Three stripes.  I am not binding off until September....he's a kid...he could grow a lot by then.  I'll start Jayce's this week.

 

 

Close to starting heel on sock. 

  

Ruth finished her scarf! Stephen West pattern. Jane yarn. Look at the details. So pretty. She started a colorwork hat.  Another sheep hat like she gave me. Shetland Wool.

 Martha has been working on the Sea Fret Cardigan sleeves.  Pretty color!

Joe and I celebrated our 43rd wedding anniversary this week, so I gave him 43 kisses. :) 

Jayce turned three (3)!!!! this week. Hard to believe he is three already.
 

Notice anything missing in this picture?  Mason's 2nd tooth came out.

He is such a funny, smart, sweet darling boy

Love this picture!

Joey and family came to celebrate.

Twins!

Joel and Vicky came!

Mason is so kind an caring. He was helping Jack put on outside boots.  And Jack was letting him!

Cute!

Joe and I were in  Buffalo today, and we went by the  new Buffalo Bills stadium. It is going to be something!   This is probably the closest we will ever come to it. We prefer to watch the games at home.

Vicky and Joel are beekeepers.. This is Vicky wrangling a new hive. She has become quite educated on beekeeping. Their honey is sought after from people all over the area!

Have a good week dear blog readers...Enjoy the nice spring weather.
 

 

Slow Down Please

Hi Dear Blog Readers...

This past week has been super busy and the coming week will be also. At work and at home. Slow Down Please....that's what I keep thinking to myself. LOL.  

I was able to get the sleeve on Mason's sweater done, I think. He is coming for a fitting later today.

While I'm waiting, I'm working on the brainless sock.

Ruth shared a picture of this cute baby wearing a sweater she made for her.  Sooo wonderful.  

She finished up her Ranunculus sweater by Knit Cafe Midori. Knit using Green Mountain Spinnery Skinny singles. Natural gray Looks fun huh!  She wore it this week when it was slightly warmer. Said it was perfect for the temps.

 

Ruth started a new little project using Jane yarn. Waffle Loop Bandana. It's 'gong to be cute.

 

Martha's sweater arrived and check this out. Fit is perfect...and you can't fake that smile. Her friend LOVES it.  Reminder the friend lives hours away so no fittings in between.  YEA!

She started a new sweater Sea Fret Cardigan by Anne Hanson.  It’s Finnish Shetland yarn, dyed and spun very evenly.  I really love the color...a lot!

Martha sent this picture of her wild daffodils:

 

I got a two-pack of rechargeable lamps from Amazon this week. I saw them on line and loved them. They are great to carry around if you need a little light. I was thinking out side this summer when I want to sit out later and read.  I put one on the desk this morning and it worked great there too.  It's little and takes up no space.

Joey's  kids were here overnight Friday and we had fun.  Jack is 1.5 and Char 2.5.  Jack really missed his mom.  But we had fun.

Jack and I got to hang out for quite a while waiting for Charlotte to get up on Saturday morning. 

  

 He likes to color.

 

Charlotte and I played while Jack was taking a nap. 

Somehow we both ended up with chalk all over us. 

 

The boys came for a visit, but we were having so much fun I didnt get pictures.
Have a good week dear blog readers, I hope you can slow down for a bit.

 

 

April showers

 Hi Dear Blog Readers...we have had a few rainy days this week.  Some flowers are out.  The gray skies can be a bit much this time of year...Bring on the sun!

I have ribbing done on Mason's Buffalo Bills sweater, and put it on a string.  A start on the sleeves.  I have to plan where to put a couple of red and white stripes.

 Ruth has a lot done on her Ranunculus sweater.  She is thinking of making short sleeves.

 Martha finished her stripey FUN sweater. Look at the sparkle on the buttons!

She is swatching with this yarn to see the gauge, and find a pattern to make with it.  So many possibilities!

 In other news:

Mason and I went to the Holley  Falls very early Saturday morning for a walk.  It was a little cool, but beautiful. 

Ruth made the hat he is wearing...he loved it.

These ducks were around the whole time.

Saw Joey's kids today.

Jayce being Jayce...silly!

 

Easter Sunday

 Hi Dear Blog Readers.

Gloomy weather for a Sunday but it was nice and cheery inside our house today.

I worked on the Bills sweater for Mason. We did another fitting today to make sure the body was not too wide.  It's perfect!  I love the plain stockinette and mindless knitting for a bit.  

 Ruth is working on her Ranunculus sweater. Yarn is Green Mtn Spinnery Skinny Singles.

 Martha is working on the sweater for her friend that she is creating!  Love the stripes!

 In other news:

We had a fun weekend.  The boys were here on Friday. It as nice out so we had a pizza lunch outside.

 

Then we colored hard boiled eggs using the cool whip method. They look like pea soup till the cool whip is washed off.

All of the kids were here for a nice ham dinner. It was such a nice day.

Notice anything?  Yep! M lost his first tooth!

C put stickers on her face...and decided I needed them more than she did.

We did an egg hunt and baskets.  All fun.  JJ was sleeping most of the time but he enjoyed the fun when he got up.
