It is a tumbleweed square. To me, It is look like a fire square. I used red and orange yarns together. I started this square yesterday, and I finished this today. One more to go! Then I will seam all of the squares togther then crochet edge.

Christmas Party

Wyatt sat with his Grandma Godfrey.

Ooooooh! Grinch! Wyatt was so scared, so do Kiera. They went upstairs with Rachel Godfrey, Kiera's mother.

Temple Square in SLC

Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus in barn. Mary was holding the baby.

You can see the statue of our Savior Jesus Christ from visiting center. I always go there since I was a little girl. I went there with Young Women, friends hang out, and my families.

Beauuuuutiful lights! They used LED light to save a lot of energy and money.

Shepard with animals.

You can see the temple on the water-mirror. The fake candles are so cute on the water float.

Pretty temple, huh?

Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus on manger on water pond. My dad joked "People can't cross and steal the statue in the winter". Water is cold.

Pretty light tree.

Ohh I love that way look light tree beside by the temple. Beauuuutiful!

Hello there! Here we are. Yes it was cold night. Both of the kids have to wear the blanket to keep them warm. I wore reindeer PJ's, and Derek wore very soft blue PJ's.

Pretty light colors.

All I can say is WOW!

A big light snowflake.

We just entered in the temple square. This photo is first picture.

Enjoy them!

Cable and Broomstick Lace hat

I finished this on 26th of December. It is perfect fit for me. This is lady hat only. I tried to put this hat on my husband, it is too small for him. I think that hat is awesome. A hat has an awesome texture. I am happy about it. :)

10th sqaure

It is a mini diamond square. You can see the diamond here. 2 more sqaures to go! This was suppose to be color red but I seem can't find yarn, so I decided to used light green instead.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Wow another christmas here already?! I knew that when October was here and time was surely went too fast after October was here. I love Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. I will sad when Christmas is over. I love to be with all of our families. We are going to Aunt Leone's house on Christmas Eve. On Christmas day, we are going down to Bountiful for my parents' house. Y'all, have a wonderful Christmas!

Cable and Broomstick Lace Hat

I bet you guys think that it looks too hard to crochet. Nah! Piece of cake to make! I use Lion Brand MicroSpun yarn. It's lilac color. This book called Crochet So Fine, all of the patterns in the book use so fine yarns. You can see the front photo of this book, there a lady wear purple light jacket. I am planning to make it too. I have that purple yarns ready. I use big fat knitting needle to draw all of the loops on it then you crochet to make the groups-become look like the broomstick holes. Cable is easy. You just cross them. This designer named is Kristin Omdahl.

9th square

It's pueblo. Knitting in slip stitches every second rows. This square is little confuse me. I had to used stitches markers to keep me on track where to go and what is next stitches. I use yellow and blue red yarns. If you shakes it and make it looks like color green. 3 squares left to go! Hooray.

Beatrice's Scarf is Done!

Beauuuutiful purple lace scarf. I blocked it to make looks neat than scramble like an egg. This is merino wool yarn. In the pattern, Robyn Chachula used silk yarn. I don't want to use silk because this silk yarn cannot be in hand wash or washer machine. Only use spray water. I don't like to get dirty on silk. Also it is expensive yarn. I am good with merino wool.

September 28th, 2010

You guys can go to September 28th, 2010 on right column side. I added more "Finished Projects" if you want to see what projects that I was/am done. :)

Emma's sweater

I finally finished this a few minutes ago. It is a "V" sweater. I added teal flower on it to make looks more likely girl. I put this sweater on Wyatt and it is surprisely fits him. He is 3 years old. This sweater size is 2T. I used I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby. It is super softer yarn than regular Red Heart yarn.

The Perfect Finish Book

I loooove this book! I was going to seam my regular yarn that is match a sweater for Emma. This book recommends me to use sock yarn, because it is a thin strand. It is strong as like a thread for sewing. Sewing seam is fun! I learned something new about seam than I did before with lousy whip stitch. This book has everything that you need to know all about crochet and knitting. It gives you a perfect finish look. I couldn't live without this book. I have Knit Fix, 200 Secret Tips Crochet, & 200 Secret Tips Knits books.

Julie's Cuff

This also is from Robyn Chachula. I love her beautiful designed projects. I just finished this last night. I put a fabric stiffener on, so it will be hard. I will make another one red. I bought the clasps from Hobby Lobby. I had hard time to find a pretty clasp than plain normal clasp last night. Derek and the kids were waiting for me for like 15 minutes in the car while I was in Hobby Lobby store. Hehe. I really like that clasp.

Beatrice's Scarf

This designed came from Robyn Chachula. It is "short row". What you are doing is keep connecting than fasten off the yarn. I'm using a superwash merino purple yarn from Yarn Today on 900 North 1000 West in Logan, sad news is that store is out of business. This is super easy! I love it. I didn't check up my gauge for that because it is just a scarf. I really want to get rid of all my yarns out from my boxes in the basement. I have 10 filled up boxes of the yarns. This designed make me feel like a princess. It's looks like a princess' crown. My favorites hooks are: Soft Touch from Clover, and Susan Bates. I don't really like Boye.

I just finished knitting a sweater for Emma today. Tomorrow I will seam them.

Madison Scarf

I want to make another one. This is from my favorites designer's book. I love that color. Caribbean blue. It is 100% cotton. It is very soft yarn than normal other cotton yarns. It is worst weight (#4). I fell in love with this color.

I finished this in 10 minutes ago. I mix with 2 colors. Bone and green. It was fun to make it. I use that color because I found them in my box in my basement that were sitting for a year. They are exactly same yarn from the book. The book called BluePrint Crochet by Robyn Chachula. She recently finished her second books: Baby BluePrint Crochet book. I am not in interesting to buy that book, because my kids are already big now. I just found out that she is working on her third books that I am so excited about it. It might will come out next year in fall or so. I am BIGGEST fan of Robyn Chachula, Doris Chan, and Kristin Omdahl! Of course, everyone have their own fan of differents kind of designers.

Forever

I have been knitting for a while. They are NOT YET finish that makes me crazy right now. You can see on the right column "Projects are in progressing".... That projects that I am working on. Wyatt's blanket is 3/4 to finish. Emma's blanket is 1/4 to finish. (Like my car gas meter, a zero to a full: Emma's blanket is a zero to 1/4 that is which take forever to finish. Wyatt's blanket is a zero to 3/4 that is which REALLY close to finish.) I let them to sit down in my closet for a while for now so I can return to crochet. They are most of knitting. I miss crochet so badly. I love crochet. Knitting have some reasons: dropping stitches off from the needle; always have a fear if that happen, how to unknit in lace; not in normal stitches, "V" is small in knitting, for example: in crochet, they have tall stitches. In knitting, they have short stitches. Crochet is always pretty faster than knitting. Crochet is more likely relax crocheting than have a fear while knitting. Right now, I am in mood for crochet. But I have to finish Wyatt's blanket, stole for me, and a sweater for Emma. A sweater is close to finish. All I have to do is: knitting a final right sleeve. I just done back, front, and left sleeve. Then seam them all. I will hold for Emma's blanket in my closet until I am back in mood for knitting. This January 2011 will be my 2-year knitting/crochet. Wow, I didn't realize that until now. Right now I am crocheting "Madison Scarf" from my favorites designer named Robyn Chachula. So that what I did so far in my life since last time I blog in November. Life is so crazy busy now. It's Christmas season. I am excited for Christmas to coming. I am done with all Christmas presents. Now I am resting from this crazy busiest shopping of the season. We went to Shopko on Black Friday in Bountiful. It was fun and freak cold! We went to D.I. in Bountiful and bought about 40 clothes for the kids. They are great store! Save my money A LOT! Rather than buy 5 clothes for $100 from the stores. That is ridiculous price! Derek is doing great so far. He is always sweet guy. Wyatt is just hyper little boy. Emma is just so so adore able baby girl. She is not yet walking. She can stands up. Me- I am trying to keep up the house clean from the kids' mess. I just finally finished my laundry! I clean my walls, and halls from kids' dirty hand prints. Wyatt just accident tore the package of Kool-Aid and spilled on kitchen floor and it was red stain everywhere. I was like oh brother! Derek had to bath him so his feet keeps clean from walking around in the house without his feet prints red on my carpet. I had to mop the floor. What a life! It's a part of motherhood. We need to do carpet cleaner before Christmas, because I borrow my parents' carpet cleaner vacuum. It's just normal day for mommy to clean up, take care, and feed the kids.

Wyatt's 3rd birthday

Wyatt love Mickey Mouse so much. He is always asking for Mickey Mouse T.V. show. It was a good cake. Wyatt love the presents. He got a small car from Grandparents Godfrey, Thomas the train flashlight from us, a backpack with sleepbag inside, Buzz from Toy Story flashlight, a big board standing for Wyatt to draw, write, or paint from Grandparents Thorup. Derek tried to get a good shot of picture of Wyatt, but he was keep running in the house because he was super excited little boy.
