Black and White Beauty

I took this picture of my youngest DD, Mary, and I thought it was pretty good.  I also got some shots of the birds visiting my feeder this morning. 

Here is a scarf that I'm working on.

I'm sorry that the pictures aren't that good.  I'm working with a camera with a broken flash.
Hope to have some more pictures soon.
Happy Wednesday! 

Bird Sighting

Hello Everybody,
This past weekend has been great.  The weather has been so awesome. I'm so ready for spring.  My DH and I went and got stuff to put up a new fence for the kids, we disked and tilled the garden.  So for the next couple of weeks I'll be setting out seeds in trays to start for our garden this year.  Last year I was pregnant and I did have a garden.  This year I'll have one.  He's also putting up a fence around it so that we can keep out the peacocks.

 The farm is covered in them.

 This is our garden a few years ago.

I had planted spinach and radishes but the peacocks came and ate every sprout that came up.
So this year I'll have a fence.
I got a couple bird feeders too.  This morning I saw some American Golden Finches on it enjoy the thistle seed.  I can't wait until I see more.  Here is a picture of one so you know what I'm talking about.  Note: I didn't take this pic.

 It is a female.  I was too just like it on the feeder this morning.  I was so excited.

This is the male. I've not seen one yet but I hope too.
Well, hope everyone has a Happy Monday!

What Happened to the Week?

Hey does anybody feel like this week has just zoomed right past us.  I do it's kinda like wow!  My wedding anniversary was Monday.  We actually celebrated it on Saturday with an evening out.  Then he had roses delivered Sunday morning.  He also got Lexi some roses for Valentine's Day.  She loved it. 
Here are some pictures!

The pink ones are mine and the ones that Lexi is holding are hers and Mary's.  

I'm Back!

What's happening? My internet was done for a while then life with kids happened and I've not been on for a while.  I finished another sock this time it was a pattern that I came up with but I think it went wrong somewhere in the end because it came out sorta weird.  It at least looked like human foot but it doesn't fit.  I'll keep trying.  I went to the library yesterday and got some more books on knitting.  Lexi picked out a lot for herself.  I also got some different types for yarn too.  I got some bulky yarn, worsted, and sock weight yarn.  I've started more socks but I'll be following some direction this time.
Our two year anniversary is coming up and we've got a date planned.  We are suppose to go to Jay Jay Wasabi's in Mooresville.  I'll let you know how everything goes.  Well, I'll post more later.  Have a happy day!

Playing Catch-Up!

Hey Everybody,
I apologize for not being up to date on my blog.  It's been really crazy around here.  I've been working hard on getting this sock thing and then the kids have had some kinda cold but I believe they are getting better.  Mary has been having a rough time with her teeth coming in.
Here are some pictures I've been meaning to post.

Here is the scarf that I made my mom for Christmas.

This is my "Fancy Nancy" Lexi playing the Wii.

This is my Dad modeling my mom's scarf.

This is our tree after Santa arrived.

There are my new stove eye covers.

This is a pot holder that Granny made. (My husband's Grandmother) 

Here is the apron that she made to match.  She's really good with a sewing machine.

One of my many sock attempts.

A washcloth that I may be turning into a throw blanket. Not sure.

The beginning for a knit purse.

Yet another sock attempt.

My DH got these for me for Christmas.

These are the interchangeable hooks I received. 

There my bamboo straight needles.  Yes, a complete set.

So all in all we had a wonderful Christmas.  Yes, my tree is still up.  It's so pretty this year I doubt I'll take it down.  Not, I'm just lazy and hadn't gotten to it yet.  Anyways, I hope everyone has a lovely Thursday.

My adventures in Sock Knitting

Hi, all!  I finally ordered my complete set of bamboo double pointed needles and they arrived day before yesterday.  I've been obsessing over making a sock for the last two days.  I've yet to produce a finished product.  I've tried like three or four different times yesterday with no success but I'm not out done yet.  I shall try and try until I beat the sock making pattern into submission!  Dun-Dun-Dunnn!  
Anyways, I'm also trying to finish the hugs of comfort shawl. I've got pictures from Christmas to post as soon as I find my camera.  It's around here somewhere.  My washcloth presents were a real success and the two scarves I made were a real hit as well.  I was so excited.  I believe I'll try and make the scarves smaller so that they will fit little people too.
Oh, Big News!! My DD, Mary (who's nine months old), has gotten her first teeth.  You can't see them with a camera yet but they are definitely there.  I should know, I breastfeed.   LOL!  Tomorrow we will be going to my Nana's to celebrate the New Year.  Which is going to be fun.  Well, sorry I've not been keeping you guys updated like I should.  B/t Christmas and kids it's been crazy.  Hope to get you all some pictures up soon.  Hope you all have a Happy New Year and a great weekend.

Singing Christmas Tree

Last nights program at church turned out really well.  All the kids did a wonderful job.  My family came to see Lexi.

 I know this comment isn't very Christmassy but Mary in this picture reminds me of one of those yellow peeps that you get at Easter.

 Here is Lexi before the Singing Christmas Tree with our Christmas Tree.  Can you tell she loves Christmas?

  Here is a video of Lexi singing at the program.

She always does something unexpected.
