Happy New Year

Well we are 21 days into the new year and my knitting project are still high in numbers.  However I do have to start a few new projects as my daughter is expecting a new addition to our family. Brandon and Julie are expecting a little girl in May. So my knitting will be focused on my soon to be new grand baby Emery.  We are all so excited, Kaden and Wyatt are excited about their new baby sister and that they will be sharing a room.

Now all I have to do is decided what I want to make I have already made a few items one is a pair of booties and another is a cupcake hat.

Great week spent two wonderful days watching my two little boys, yesterday was Kaden's first soccer practice, he did great.  Tomorrow is also Wyatt's first game as wells as Kaden's first game.  They are about an hour and a half apart. One here is Sedona, the other in the VOC. we should just make in to the other game.

Well I finally finished the second Sproutlette dress for Ella.  

Also finished the back of my Slimming Sweater.  About to start the front.

Due to the fact that I was spending some quality time with my boys I have not been to any of my knit groups including the one at my house. But as my baby boys are getting bigger and bigger I'm spending as much time with then as I possibly can.

September Has Arrived

Had a wonderful BBQ with the family on Monday, made so,e burgers, steaks, potatoe salad, corn on the cob, hot dogs for Julie and kaden, Mac & Cheese for Wyatt and Ella. I also made some pineapple cupcakes with banana cream filling and mascarpone heavy cream frosting.  Tried the Sproutlette on Jemma it is way too big for her.

Busy week watched my baby boys three this week. Did get some knitting done while they where in school.  Finished the first of two baby dresses last Saturday. Am going to start the second one today. Started a new sweater for me to replace the one I had to get rid of do to wear and tear as well as age.  Have about 7-1/4 inches finished. Have not works on my experimental project I should finish that before starting yet another project, yeah right :) . As soon as I finish the second dress I will concentrate on both my sweaters.
