We Have Socks!

I finally have a finished knitting project! This was started July 2012 for a SKA challenge which was colorwork. Joshua needed another pair of socks since he outgrew his last pair. I had this project in a Ziploc that was shoved in the cabinet. April's SKA challenge was colorwork so I thought this was the perfect time to finish the socks up so I brought them on our spring break trip to Mammoth Lakes.

I knit the pair a bit bigger so Josh will have some growing room.





The socks are called Sneaky Argyles from the book Socks from the Toe Up for Everyone.  The most boring part was the foot portion since it was just knit knit knit until I reached the colorwork portion.

Joshua should be able to enjoy these socks for a while and keep his cold feet warm.

This man's voice is amazing, it doesn't seem real at first. His name is Robin Blaze and is a countertenor which I've never heard of.  Read up on the various differences ie falsetto.

That reminds me of another voice....not exactly like the above person. ;)





Spring break is next week so lots of fun planned for me and the kids. :)





And finally, a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my silly husband !!! We met sometime around our birthdays 21 years ago. Has it really been that long??  :)

Wondercon 2013

What a fun weekend ! Wondercon 2013 was a great way to spend with the kids. We attended the Adventure Time panel and spent hours wandering the floor which was packed with other enthusiasts. Got lots of streetpass tags from other Nintendo 3DS users which is half of the fun. So much to look at and ogle.

I think we wandered through the entire floor multiple times and still had new things to see. I only brought my camera on Sunday and even then, it was distracting to shop and take pics of cool cosplay.

On Sunday, I concentrated on the artists alley and bought a few prints that I will frame for the kids room although I might keep one for me. :)

LOTR

Excuse my ignorance on many things here since I'm awful with names but I do recognize this. Hector will tell me my mistakes later. :)

Awww, cute!

Plenty of photo ops.

Josh and Lego dude.

Another Lego guy.

Boys

Overall, we had a good experience. We don't have badges for Comic Con but we do have hotel so the plan is to hang around and experience the outer edges/freebies that we can find this summer. Tyler is ready for it.:)

April

H-O-C-K-E-Y !!!

Happy April Fool's Day!!

Happy Easter

Having a super busy weekend at Wondercon with the family and friends. So much to see and do and shop while trying to squeeze in panels. I was hoping to stay the entire Saturday but we pooped out after 6 hours.

Sunday will be more relaxed and casual with the kids. I'm looking for some artwork.

Here is a video I saw a few years back (maybe more) with these pandas. Definitely different.



Okay, hopefully more photos today since I didn't want to bring my camera with me yesterday.


HAPPY EASTER!!

Viernes

Need a dose of slightly cheesy yet catchy 80's pop (new wave). :)

Fresh Start

Today I'm switching to this blog for a bit for personal reasons. Nothing major, just a change.

The title Stop Lecturing Me!!  is from a family member because this person doesn't want to  listen to helpful advice and no longer answers our calls but continues to comment/like my material on FB, Istagram etc.

It irks me that this person can follow our lives and activity on social media but fail to communicate in person, hence this blog will emerge for now while I put my main blog into hibernation for now.

Sure, I don't have lots of followers but my hubby and a few others but it's more a journal/documentation of what's going on in our lives that I can look back on and say, "Oh yeah! I forgot we did that!"

So hope you can stay tuned to the latest. :)
