One down...

Finally the day arrived, the sun was fighting to shine and won, the birds were singing, and at 7:30AM the Bride to be was getting ready. At 4PM, family and friends gathered at the church and the cameras were a buzzing as the my sister came down the aisle in her wedding finery on the arm of my father. She was so beautiful. Yes, folks, my sister married on Saturday to a wonderful man. They are now on their honeymoon.

The reception was awesome. The dance floor was only empty when the food was being served and for the cake. Everyone had a great time. My son actually took me out to dance, too, and he is not even 2 years old. Then I spent sometime in the bridal suite because Jack was sleeping. My mother/father-in-law were happy to sit in the bridal suite watching over Jack. I guess the roles will be reversed when my sister-in-law gets married and my parents are watching over Jack.

I had a wonderful Mother' day. My husband and son took me to a nice restaurant for brunch. I was sooooo stuffed but the food was awesome. After brunch I dropped off my husband because the poor guy was so miserable with his allergies. Later, I took my mom out for dinner.

Now, I have at least two weeks to relax before my sister-in-law's wedding. Time to get some knitting done other than at midnight. I promise to post some of my projects.

Where's my bottle?

So I had the bright idea of having my son say bye bye to his bottles and on to the sippy cup. Easier said than done. I spent all day Friday just putting up with my son and his temper tantrums. He would throw one if I didn't give into him whether it was to get chocolate or let him play with the water.

I felt like I was going nuts. I eventually just sat down and started knitting. I made a lot of progress on the scarf I'm knitting. I'm almost done with one skein.

My son finally has come to accept the sippy cup for milk instead of just water or juice.

till next time.

What a weekend

It's been a busy weekend for me. On Saturday, I spent the morning at the salon getting a much needed hair cut. I'm very happy with my new do. Then I went baby shopping with a 22 month old for some much needed summer clothes, pampers, and neccessities. Afterwards, I dropped off my son at my parents so I could get ready for the night festivities.

When I finally arrived home I managed to get in about 2 hours of knitting my scarf and then I went to get ready. I was going to my sister's bachelorette party. She's getting married on May 12th. It was a lot of fun but I got home later than expected....4AM!!!!.

On Sunday, the family was up by 7:45AM...(yes, we were). "Why?" you are saying. Well, we had a planned outing to Great Adventure and well since the tickets were prepaid I could only use them on Sunday. We were actually not tired at all much during the day and then towards the end of the day it hits. We are exhausted. Too tired to get some night time knitting done.

I hope to soon post some of the projects I've done for both Crochet and Knitting.

I'm New At This....

...so bear with me.

Hello all reading this blog. I'm a long time crocheter and newbie at knitting. I'm addicted to both and have a project for each at any given time.

My mom taught me to crochet when I was young and have been crocheting ever since that day. Now there's a woman who never met a yarn she didn't like. As for knitting, I took a beginner's class in knitting and I became hooked. I'm not an expert by any means but I hope to make it to the intermediate.

Well til next time.
