Birthdays Done!

We celebrate two birthdays in six days as my house. The first was mine on the 24th of February, followed by my hubby on the 2nd of March.  He loves to say for six days that he is married to an older woman. He is so funny.

My birthday involved many different types of gluten free goodies, yarn, and snow.

His birthday involved coffee, peanut butter, chocolate, bacon, french toast, chocolate, and sunshine. (He wanted snow but the closest he got was rain on Sunday)

Yarn Along - Four Corners

I finished last week's book and last week's afghan. The green four corners afghan did go to the little baby girl after I posted a picture of it on Facebook and her mom liked it immediately. I was able to give it to the precious new baby girl and her parents on Sunday. They were blown away to find out the afghan was for them. They love greens and this fit perfectly.

So what am I reading and knitting today? Well on Saturday, I found out about a baby shower for another friend on the 23rd of March. This time it is a baby boy, so off to my yarn store to start another four corners blanket.  

I also started Let's Pretend This Never Happened on Monday while at the dentist. ( I have spend way too much time and money at the dentist).  I have laughed a few times and can't wait to see where this book goes.
I have put the socks I was knitting in time out to focus on the baby afghan with the speedy deadline.  But then I couldn't help myself I cast on the replacement hat for my Em.  I knitted her a simple hat at Christmas but it was way too big, so I told her any hat she wanted.  She loves this one that I did along time ago but both her and Amy have loved it to death and needs to be replaced so on Monday I started one for her

So what are you reading? and what are you knitting? Joining Ginny

Top 10 on Tuesday

Today is suppose to be the  10 Reasons Why You Are Ready for Winter To Be OVER.  

Okay here goes

1. I want to eat outside! I love having dinner out in the backyard, it makes me happy.
2. I am ready for the flowers of spring....but wait that means seasonal allergies.
3. I want to get away and camping is my favorite quick way, which is not very fun in the snow.

10 Reasons I am NOT ready for Winter to be over

1. I am enjoying not having seasonal allergies.
2. I love snowy days even when I have to drive in them
3. In May is the big Recital for work, I am totally not ready for this yet
4. I am not ready to give up my hoodies yet for sandals. I would say shorts but I wear them in the winter also.
5. I don't want to rush through the upcoming birthdays, holidays.
6. I still want to lose a little weight before I can't hide in my hoodies and coats

Okay so I can't come up with 10 reasons either way, but I am okay with that as I like seasons. Normally all of them except for the days the temp is 100+

Snow, Fun, Food, Friday

I woke up to a snow storm which I wasn't ready for today. We were suppose to get a big storm two days before that never showed up but this morning we woke up to a few inches. Preston said the commute to work wasn't fun but by the time I got up and out it was fine.  I stopped for coffee again, another raspberry mocha. So made my day!  So did the the food and drink at dinner tonight.  Tonight kicked off my birthday weekend and so far so good!

Yarn Along - Baby Blanket Edition

Well today's yarn along includes an almost completed baby afghan. I love the four corners afghan. The baby I was knitting this one green afghan was born on Saturday and is a beautiful baby girl. So I think I will revise this in more feminine colors as I have another friend due soon with a baby boy.

I finished the book Sarah's key for book club over the weekend as I was under the weather.  I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I look forward to the discussion at book club on March 11th.  I am currently reading How to Eat a Cupcake. I am starting to really enjoy it, it is a reader's choice from the library.

I have gone to the library two days in a row and picked up new books to read, those that I have placed on hold and those I just pick up as I walk around browsing. Here are the pictures, it will be interesting to see which ones I pick up and read.

Eye Candy Friday

Yummy Gluten free shortbread cookies with Nutella filling.  They were a valentines day gift from friends.
