New Award from Vanessa

I received this wonderful Rene Award from Vanessa-The Ohio Crafty Bug-.

Here is what her blog says about it.

The Renee Award. This Award was created by Bella and Ces in honour of their friend Renee, an incredible lady who in the face of a frightening life battle is tackling each day with great spirit and courage. Please check out the blogs of these three creative ladies.

Here is what Bella says of this award:"this is a brand new award and I have the pleasure and honor of spreading the seed, watching it grow. I hope it finds it's way to those who are like Renee: the acorn, a small package becoming a tall and sturdy oak, giving more acorns, becoming tall and sturdy oaks, giving acorns..."

Thank you Vanessa I appreciate it so much. I hope I can live up to it and give some acorns myself, to others.

Easter

So did everyone have a good Easter? I didn't. It' sucked. This is the first ever Easter that I didn't get to see my gkids hunt for eggs and have fun. Rue has been so sick here lately that she didn't feel like going up to Napa to Tina's so they stayed at home and so did I. Rue's kids, did come over for a few minutes and then later to show me what the easter bunny left for them. ANd Tina and her kids called me this morning to say hey but it stilll wasn't the same thing.

Guess things are changing and I better get used to them huh?

Another Grandson Boo boo

I just have to show you all this. Cole was running behind Pa the other day and when Pa curved around the granite kitchen table Cole didn't. Crunch!!

Look at the big ol knot on that head. Poor kid had a headache for 2 days. This kid is the cutest kid ever but he is a total daredevil. He jumps and climbs and runs and gets into everything. A total bundle of energy and I think he is wearing my girl to a frazzle.

LOve ya Tina, you to Dade and Mia Bella.

Here's my girl Mia Bella. Isn't she beautiful? Yep she is.

2 socks at one time again

Well I haven't given up the quest for 2 socks at one time. Last time I ended up with one Mojo sock. This time I have started 2 at a time on magic loop. my first time with magic loop. We are doing this together on my Knitting 2 Together KAL blog
If you want to join in with us just comment on the blog and I'll send you a blog invite so you can join the blog.
So right now I've got 3 projects going. ONe is a dishcloth for an exchange group, one is to do my part on the #1 traveling blanket from the Whoduknit
group, and now my 2 socks!! woohooo now this seems like me again,

Javie's first ever stitches

Well Javie is just 3 months shy of his 7th birthday and today he got his first ever stitches.
2 of them!! He hit his chin on his bike as it went over a bump. He didn't cry, which is very unusual and at the hospital getting the stitches and the numbing shots he didn't cry either.
I asked him why he didn't and he said he didn't want to embarress himself in front of the doctor.
Shooo here he will cry about anything. He wouldn't let me take a photo with the bandage off either but I'll get one later. lol

Oh man, I almost forgot the funniest part. Monica went to the hospital with Javie and his Mommy and she watched the whole procedure and once it was done, she almost fainted. The nurse had to put a cold pack on her neck and have her lay down. Took her blood pressure and it was low so they wouldn't let her leave until it was better.!! she got some apple juice out of the deal. Now that was shades of my Tina. she always faints when she gets bloodwork done or gets over heated. Monica is ok now. She ate and drank when she got home.

Hair cuts today

Today was haircut day. Javie and Olivia and I, all got hair cuts. I told the stylist that I wanted a pixie hair cut and he thought I said a buzz fade. Here is what I got. Oh well in a week or so it will be just right.

I have started on a dishcloth for one of the groups I'm in. It's one I've never done and I like it.

Gotta have it done before April is over. lol Also am going to start on the sock kal on my sock kal blog if you want to join in with the kal come and join in.
