It's been a minute

Hey all! I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to blog. I've been a little busy livin life. Let's just hit the highlights
1. We have had my 2 step daughters with us the past couple of weeks. That's been fun especially for Sym. She loves having Van & Chy here. I do too. Although It's been hard to cook for 5 instead of 3 like I've grown accustomed to. Funny, I used to cook for 5 all the time growing up but when 2 out of 5 are the most picky eaters in the world, well it can throw you off. Oh well.
2. When J & Me had a night to ourselves just before we picked the girls up. We hung out in Vicksburg and I hit a 1500 jackpot on a slot machine! Let's just say that that money was put to good use, bills.
3. I won a quick knits kit from Leethal Lee and received it Saturday. I was stoked!!! I've already knit several wrist bands. The girls LOVE Them!!! I didn't have a whole lot of scrap yarn so I used some sugar n cream cotton yarn
I have found that it stretches on Sym. She doesn't use the buttons to remove and put on. Sighs

4. Also working on a hat for my ya baby Gatsby.
It's still in progress. Sorry folks.
5. I'm on a booty kick. or is it spelled Bootie? I've got 3-4 folks havin babies and I'm trying to knit up a whole bunch to have ready for showers.
6. I just received Little Red In the City by Ysolda Teague. So hopefully I'll get my sweater groove on. It's a great book. I find it easy to read and very informative. The patterns are awesome too! Go buy you one on Ravelry. You can get it in electronic & book format or both like I did. Ravelry rules!!
7. I haven't tatted much since the wedding. If you saw the last post and look very closely, you can see how I did a little tat for all the My Man, the father/grandfathers and moms/grandmoms. It was fun. They were simple but still a bit time consuming since I had to tat up a bunch. I have a bunch of family folks.
8. Right after the wedding, my work decided to close the office and let everyone there work from home. Me included. So I've been busy moving stuff and setting up home office. I do enjoy hanging with my girls all day instead of having Chy watch them while I'm at the office. I like the entertainment. When Sym and Van get together you never know what they are going to destroy do.
9. Van has a yorkie named Katie. Let's just say the cats are slowly getting used to her..
Alrighty I guess I better get back to work. Thanks for reading!!
