Lisa's Headbands

I made a family of the headbands for Lisa and her kids. 3 flowers and 4 headbands. I hope her kids will love to wear them in their life. :)

Roku Steaming Player

Ta-DA! We are no longer member of Dish Network anymore. It's wasting our money. For Dish, we pay $60.63 every month to just stare at TV. Also there are too many channels that we don't watch. We are now member Netflix and Hulu Plus. Both are each $8. We will only pay for around $18 per monthly. I prefer spend $18 than $60. I bought Roku 2 from Best Buy. I bought 2: one is in family room and second is in our master bedroom. Derek was impressed with my decision. I wanted to get new cell phone. I want Sidekick from T-Mobile back for $30 per monthly. Right now, our phones are $99.98 (that's pretty much for one bill). I wanted just one phone and one of us can use AIM on computer or iPod if one of us is out of house. Derek said no. :-(

I like screen saver on my bedroom TV. Especially night time. We are happy with our choice for this. I really want to save money than we spend more than we earn home. Since January 2012 started, I got crazy schedule. We got most of everything that we needed since we got married. I got new TV for my videophone, new computer, new desktop for computer, new fat TV (from Derek's parents', the kids broke our TV in family room), got most of the knitting tools stuffs, paints and repair tools in the house, paid off our credit card, new modem/router, got used "new" couch in family room, kitchen table and chairs, floor lamp, and kids stuffs. We spend more than we usually do since January. We got our tax refund, state refund, OIP (bonus money from Derek's work), 3 paychecks in this month, and normal paycheck(some of our bills are now reduced amount, so nice!) I want to pay off our 401K, but we will pay off next year with our tax refund then we will only focus on our house mortgage and van loan. I want to be able to afford anything than being tight budget. Also, I want to have little family fun, aka fairs, shopping, food, and/or etc. :-)

Denver Broncos Hat

Ta-Da! Derek loves it. He thought that I will make it in someday but I already made it last night. I used a fabric for logo of denver signs. I then stiffer them. It's perfect fit for him. It is little big for me. I love the texture of a hat. I didn't wanted a plain simple hat. :) Derek had been asked me to make one for him.

My Shake

It's McCafe Shamrock Shake from McDonald's. Mmm! Minty with whipped cream and a cherry. I was glad that its not coffee shake. It is only limited time for March month. I hate limited time season.

Today, we got our ordered T.V. It's looking so much better than my fat TV. :)

Ami's Shawl

 It was before blocked shawl.

 I washed in a basket with mild soap Eucalan. I pinned and wire it. It's only took me about 30 to 45 minutes to finished this. I want to do night time while the kids are in their bed time and I left it on my floor while a ceiling fan is on to get shawl dry faster for morning.

 I love the detail of texture. I love the leaves look.

 Pretty lace. A center is spinal straight from above to bottom.

 When I removed the pinned off from the blocking, the kids were helping too, I love the feeling of finished shawl smoothly than wrinkle shawl.

 Look at it! I love to see the hang down shawl. It is light weight shawl. Mmm.

I also added the crystal color beads on the tip of leaves. Ami wanted purple, grey, and white color. Perfect for me. I have that color yarn ready to be made. It took me one month to knitting this shawl. This is little mind focus on. I had to pay close attention on a pattern so I can be keeping track so I won't be lost. I start with 3 stitches cast on then knitting for about 8 rows then picked up the long edge of little swatch. The spinal is center to created a triangle shawl. I am hoping that Ami will love this. She doesn't want a long and big shawl. She wanted a small shawl like a cowl around her neck.

My another sister-in-law has a shawl that I knitted for her Christmas present. I didn't want to wait for next Christmas for Ami. So I go ahead and knitted it.

I found out that Amy (Derek's family cousin) is pregnant with her first baby girl. She lives in Denver, CO. Her husband is teaching in a school. Amy used to lived in Logan until she got married in 2010 (I think) and she moved to there. I want to knit a baby blanket for her. I want a special look of a blanket. Not too basic blanket. It will be color white blanket. It will be 100% acyclic. I don't want a wool because I want Amy to have a easy take care of a blanket for washing.

Family Time

After a long day all day today, we gathered to be together in family room. Derek wish that Emma could be fit and sit with him on a pink chair. You can see that Emma is sitting next to me on a pink chair. She sats on my hip. Sometimes I moved a little to get us in comfortable together. That is so PRECIOUS moment for us.

I was knitting the booties. I wanted to get them finished. They were watching a show called Baby First. Derek was who the one behind my cell phone camera.

Baby Booties

I love this baby booties. It is 1980's pattern. It is for my neighbor, Kami. She had a baby last Saturday. Why not to knitted the booties as a warm gift for her from her neighbor. I want to knit this more for the poor people in the different counties of the world.

New Re-do Living Room

 This small drawer-desk will go to (look below)

 To this, it will be sits in the between of a couch and a pink chair. Just for drink, knitting, and the T.V's remotes.

 This desk will be in Wyatt's closet in his bedroom for his future homework from his school. He will go to Woodruff elementary. Ha ha, Sorry that Emma is picking her nose. Ew.

 Ohh! Pretty desk! I am happy that I picked this desk. I ordered it from Walmart online. I replace my white chair to a black soft seat chair from my basement. So it will looks better without white color.

I like this better. I re do the frames with a pole. It has our last name. I bought the different color for ribbon. I like the stars. They are came from Jo-Ann.

Sorry, I forgot to take the pictures of prevent our living room's looks. A black desk (Wyatt's desk) used to be our computer desk with our a brown drawer-desk for our fat T.V. with videophone. I ordered a flat 19" T.V. (Philip) for our videophone. Its will be here on Tuesday. I will keep our fat black T.V. in our basement if one of our T.V.s broke. The frames of our last name used to be just hanged up the frames like you do with your pictures frames. I like this better than just hang up the frames on the wall.

We (Derek and I) set up the desk for about 10 hours. We started last night at 9PM, we hold it for more for tomorrow, we didn't went to bed until 1:30AM. And its not finished until 3:30PM today.

I cleaned up in family room downstairs from Styrofoams. Jeez, I hate Styrofoams! It was everywhere! Phew, our job is done. Now it's time for me to do laundry.
