Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I know it's coming but I feel like it's still sneaking up on me.  We spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with my side of the family.  There are quite a few of us that get together.  We have two turkeys and tons of potatoes and sides.  I'm so excited to see my family. 

I've been doing a little Christmas shopping.  Can't seem to find the LeapFrog LeapPad instock anywhere and I'm getting nervous.  I've been trying for days.  Hoping that the stores are saving their supplies for Black Friday and will be fully stocked.

Finally, some WIP pictures!

Been tryin to get some much needed knitting done. 

This is a WIP Cleveland Browns hat for my 9yr Joey.  Unfortunately, he is a Browns Fan and requested these colors.

Time to plant the bulbs

It's getting so cooooold outside!  I purchased some tulip bulbs to plant and now I just have to figure out where I want to plant them!  I love the first signs of spring :)

Kids are still keeping me pretty busy.  I have alot of new projects that I need to get moving on.  I also have to plan a football party for this Saturday.  Twenty plus 10-11 year olds over at the house.  Am I nuts???  I must be. 

Lots of Halloween activities coming up.  What are your kids dressing up as for trick or treating?  I have no idea what my children want to be.  There is a Halloween dance, an open ice skate and a Goblin Gallop coming up.  Love this time of year!

Next post will include some finished pictures of baysides and tiptoe hats.

Get out your Leaf Blowers

Autumn is here to stay!  My driveway is covered in leaves and my flowers need cut back.  The weather is cooler and the nights are longer. 


My neice is out of the hospital and recovering at home.  It looks as though she will make a full recovery!  Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers.  It's her third birthday today!


My boys are keeping me so busy these days!  This includes my DH.  They are playing football and soccer and Daddy is coach for two of the three of them. Doesn't leave much time for knitting.  I don't have any WIP pictures to take as of now.  I've pretty much stalled out and need to get my rear in gear. 


I'll leave this post with a picture of my youngest son.  He's 5 and his name is Kyler.  This is the pumpkin that he picked on his field trip hayride.  He was so proud of it!  My Mr. Handsome :)

Be Thankful...

My 2 year old neice is in the ICU. She was injured when a TV fell on her. How many items do you have that are not anchored to the wall that could be a hazard to your little one? Give your little one/ones an extra kiss tonight and be thankful that they are happy and healthy!


I finished a pair of longies

And I have a WIP picture of a cabled winter romper that I'm working on for a custom

Another WIP

This is going to be for a future stocking.  It's Shy Violet's "Airplane" colorway with some matching blue Cestari Superfine.  I'm knitting it into some Bayside Britches and have some super cute matching custom buttons from Corina of Ayarina's Designs.
