Pistachio pie
I homemade a pie. I used pistachio pudding pie method. I added sliced bananas then added whipping top. I bought from a store shell pie. It was yum-O. I never had this kind of pie before. I had done tasted most of the pies. The chocolate pie, lemon pie, pumpkin pie, fruits pie, cheesecake pie, oreo pie, and banana pie. I am tired of those now. I need a something new pie. So that's it! Pistachio pie!
Done!
I love this. It's look like I just bought a baby-toddler hat from Old Navy. But I actually did made it. I was planning to make another one (red and white) for my neighbor. She is going to have a baby boy in next month. So I can make this and bib for her. At least, it is not fit my son. I could find another pattern that will fit him.

Finally, about time!
Remember I told you that I was quitting about my knitting toddler hat. I finally found a gauge size. It was US 5 knitting needles. So I am currently working on it. I will make two hats. One is for Wyatt=white and red; another one is for Emma=blossom pink and mild light green. I am so happy. I have to use english method. I love continental method. Because it is so super easy and faster than right hand (thrower). But I was realizing that some of the patterns can only work on either thrower or picker. So this toddler cap patter is working well on thrower (english method). I am fine with that. I am happy with both picker and thrower. My right hand is tighter than my left hand. My left hand is more loose than the right hand. I like tighter because it can go up one size if my gauge is not match on the pattern called. Because if I am loose knitter, I will stuck to dead end down size number. Knitting needles sizes from 0 to 11. If I got wrong gauge on an zero needles and I am stuck because it is only dead end. So I like do both hands to get correct gauge size. I will soon put the pictures of two caps on this when I am done with them.

A vest
Oh oh yarn!
A wave purse.
I will knit a wave purse with these color. I was planning to use color: coffee, and soft pink. But I think that pink is common color with brown. So I decided I go ahead use lavender instead. And they are good look color together. I haven't start yet so I need to go back and finish my unfinish projects then I will knit these.
Snack
Sushi!
Noticed
I had had hard time to find right background for my blog. I just want neat, and plain tan. I will leave it alone. I don't want to have another problem to find different backgrounds. Are you ready for Fall to come? I DO! I am tired of the heat. I hate sweat. I am SO ready for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Yes, I know that Christmas is little stress month because of spending all the money for the gifts. But I love to see all the families together. I love to see the kids excitment moment. I love the snow! I am tired of to working outside to pull weeds, mow the grass, feed them the water and A LOT of the insects that I really hate. It's time for Fall to come NOW! We did accomplished our goals of this summer. We went to the Hogle Zoo, Fairground, Pony Express in Clarkston, Firework, Bear Lake, Summer Fest in Logan and Bountiful, Parade, and Aquacenter (swimming park) in Logan. Fall season- we will go to the pumpkin walking, trick or treat, we will stay at my parents' house for the Thanksgiving dinner in Bountiful, we will go to Jayden and Kelli's baby blessing. I have been execrise for 4 weeks since. I am trying to get rid of baby fat. I will walk around in my neighborhood anytime in Fall season because it is cooler. I have been walking daily at 8pm. I have lost some weight, Hooooray! I noticed myself that when I am stress from adulthood/motherhood, I tend go to the store to buy the yarns to calm myself and knit/crochet actually calm, rest, lift my depress up to be more happy, and relief my stress. I am thankful for this kind of my excellent talents I have. Before I start knit/crochet, I tend eat too much of junk/sweet food that caused gain fat. But now I am knitter, it is a lot better! I hate scrapbook, jewelry maker, and paints.

Sorry!
Sorry, I have so super busy so far. I was forgetting to do working on my blogger. So now here I am. I am trying to get finish my unfinish projects. I have four unfinish projects. Yesterday, I was very frustrating because one of my project that I really want to knit a toddler hat but my gauge is struggling. I think that Candi Jensen is bad on gauge check. She is a designer. I crocheted my son's vest was also from Candi Jensen. It was struggling to check up my gauge for this vest but I just go ahead use that needle and lucky end up it was fit him! Whew! Candi Jensen is old lady. I think that she has put wrong a number of gauge. So I quit! So disappointed! I have so many piles of yarns in my basement that need to be work! I am trying to find the patterns that fit my yarns. Right now I am in mood to knit. I have been crochet for about 1 to 2 months now. I need a break from crochet. I love to crochet and knit. It keeps me happy and not being bored around in the house while my husband is sleeping and he is working at nighttime. Also my two kids keep me busy too. But most of the time, they are just playing around in the family room. I was just working on my projects while they are playing, that which is so neat! I am trying to get finish my lazy summer top because it is 1/4 finish.
A sampler blanket
A top for me. It is called lazy summer top. I almost done with this. It is drives me insane that IS NOT done yet! *sigh*. I just need to trim waist-band and neck. I will put it on me when it is done and take a picture of it then show to you. It was my grandparents Evans' light blue couch to save my money.
