Bob and I took Emma ice skating for the first time. I even went and bought her, her only little skates before hand. Bob is a hockey player so he was very helpful to Emma, although she insisted she didn't need any!

I had made a hat like this for Emma last year, but it got washed in the washing machine by grandma (its not supposed to, lol) and it got extremely stretched out and no longer fits. So she asked me to make her another one. It's made out of bamboo yarn and is super soft.

I got to by the Statue of Liberty today in a black hawk!! I got some great pictures on the ride down and back to Connecticut. Its things like this that make it exciting to be in the Army! The George Washington Bridge The Hamptons, NY

I knit a few scarflettes out of the lovely hand spun yarn that I received from JQ Knits. I just need to add buttons to them and they will be complete!

Today was a beautiful warm,sunny day for the fall. So Emma and I decided to head to downtown Mystic to visit the yarn store and take a stroll along the river. I had to get so pictures of my beautiful little girl by the water. And she's even wearing the scarf I knit here out of yarn that I spun for a Halloween themed Spin along by Bohoknitterchic.

I added several new handspun Yarns to my Etsy Shop and also some yarns to the sale section!

Today I want to say thank you to all my fellow soldiers and all those past and present who have served and protected this wonderful country. Thank you all so much for keeping us safe. My super sweet boyfriend took the day off of work to spend with me. He bought me a dozen roses and a sapphire and diamond ring!! how awesome is he?!? I have never received gifts on Veteran's Day and its nice to know someone appreciates my service! Thanks babe love you!

Here are some photos of Halloween this year. I missed trick or treating with Emma last year, so this year was great. We went trick treating in my mother's neighborhood like always with the cousins and Ann and her kids. Here are some pictures. Ryan, Owen, Emma, Aiyanna and baby Tristian.
