Look who is two, pumpkin patch and a lot to catch up on.......................

Look who is two?  These darling boys had a birthday yesterday they are now two!  Of course you would not know that by their energy levels or ability to listen.  They still act like crazy puppies, I am sure it is because there is two of them to feed off each other.  They are such a delight, well most of the time anyway.

We finally made it to the pumpkin patch yesterday and this is the best photo I could get.  For some reason a little boy who will not be named could not open his eyes.  The sun was not in back of me making it hard to see, it was just an eight year old not cooperating.  You can see he recently lost another tooth. 

We have started this little one on medication for his inability to focus and it has been very hard on him.  That and his regular Botox shots for his legs last week have left both of us pretty exhausted.  This medication is not going to work, he is struggling too much and so that means we all are also.  So we will start weaning him off of it and try plan B.  

Last weekend was all about taking care of Little Buddy as he recovered from the shots and the meds he has to take to keep them as pain free as possible.  And just as I was going to post even a brief blog post our internet stopped working as the lovely man we hired to fix our sprinklers cut the line to the house.  So that took a few days to fix which is not easy in this house or any other I imagine.  With work to be done and of course blog reading it is hard to not have your computer working.

No internet means more time for creating.  Although this scarf has been my car project and really has nothing to do with all that tech stuff.  I always have a project in my car for times I get to work a bit early, times a patient cancels and I have an hour to fill, and so on.  This yarn has been in my stash for a year.  I bought it to create a striped scarf and here it is.  Made with Berroco Corsica yarn and US size 7 needles.  I made this in the round using two skeins of each color, changing colors every two rows.  It was a fun project and now I am glad it is done.  The yarn is very soft, a cotton cashmere blend, 600 yards of yarn used in all.  I think this will be for me as some of the joins where you switch needles are not the smoothest.

Yesterday I finished Falling Blossoms Shawl number 4.   I know you are probably super sick of this pattern and while I am looking forward to making something else I still really love making these.  This is for Little Buddy's babysitter for Christmas.  She loves Blues and purple so I though this yarn from stash was perfect.    My husband bought me this yarn for Christmas a few years back to make a shawl with progressively changing colors.  I did not like the pattern it came with and really was not terribly fond of the yarn.  Still I think it made a beautiful shawl and I hope she likes it.  Made with Mountain Colors Hand Painted Yarn Twizzle, in the colors Harmony Iris and Harmony Iris medium.  I used a size I hook and about 480 yards of yarn to make this shawl.  I have one skein left which I think I will use to make a scarf or two for extra presents. 

I did have time last week to pop by my local yarn shop as I had two kids get sick and I was in the area.  I bought this lovely yarn while I was there.  I still had some gift certificate money left over from a Christmas present so I thought I would give myself a treat.  I used all the other gift certificate money to make baby blankets for gifts so this is just for me!

I have to leave you with this photo.  Somebody has been taking about a hundred pictures on his iPad which in turn go onto my account.  Even though he has been told not to.............  I wonder who it is?  I could show you the 500 other photos of my ceiling but that would bore you to tears.

Have a great week.
