This moment

The moment I want to pause and remember. Yesterday, we decorated the Halloween in the house. 

Last night, I finished my knitting scarf. Now that they are blocking. I will post the pictures of them soon. When they are air dry. 

Last night, I knitted a swatch to check my gauge. Surprisely, I got the right gauge. So I'm going ahead and start to knitting now. 

I love the yarn color gold to welcome the autumn season. I'll knitting in 0-6 month size. It's for Derek's cousin's newborn baby girl for Christmas gift. (Cody, the cousin and Izabelle, the newborn baby girl). 

Project, Project

I have been knitting. Current, I'm knitting two beads scarves. Ones is for Christmas gift. Another one is for me. It's from laura nelkin. It's Latus scarf. I'm using the two different beads colors. One is teal colour and another is ice cold blue(that's mine) beads. I'm using merino/silk peacock colour yarn. I purchase from my local yarn shop. 

A few days ago and I love to see the foggy morning outside of my house. Autumn is begun. Finally! Today's weather is cloudy and rainy day. I love the cooler weather. We went outside front and played in the rain. It was heavy rain. We got wet. The kids were biking and got wet too. I love the feeling of chilling wet on my shoulders. 

The next project is to make a baby cardigan for Christmas gift. A gold lace wave cardigan with the owls buttons. Also I'll make a baby beret hat too. I want a cute little button. Owl is cute as a button. 

Recently, I took a shot with volka and I don't feel well when I had an empty stomach. Recommend don't do it when your stomach is empty.  I'm going to get something to eat. 

Where has time gone???

We went to St. George for our vacation without the kids! It was so nice and a very quiet time together alone. We love to swim in there. The weather was hotter than my home town. We stayed for three days. My parents were babysitting my kids while we were at there. We love it and so much needed vacation. Now I want to go to Yellowstone. But it needs to be wait. 

We went to the Zion national parks. We love to drive into a tunnel. It was fun. It was so beautiful park. Red mountain. Good time. 

We went to cedar mountain after Zion national parks. I love it so much! The fall changing colors. I love the foggy and it was 50 degrees out there. When we were stopped and got out of the our rental car to take the photos. And it was cold outside. I loved every moment. Derek was freezing. I was in heaven in autumn area. It was a long drive back to cedar city but it was worth the moment. We were on our way to home. It was on highway 14. 

Where has the time gone??? I miss it already. Derek said it's time to go back to reality life and work. Sighs....

Time Lapse of 2 Weeks

My squashes are still growing. The green bean are growing some of pods. Only a few. I'm ready to harvest my garden. Derek said no, he wants to continue for a bit. 

I got a new pair of glasses from Zenni. 

On my birthday evening, I was watching TV about 9/11 with my original Smirnoff. 

The kids were playing with my photo from iPad. 

I was enjoying to watch my Reeses drinking water. 

The fall colors is here! I love to watch them adjust into different colour. I can smell crispy air outside. I noticed the sun is move away from us. It was hard to getting up in the morning for school and stay awake all day. No, I'm not in school, it's for Wyatt. Yes, I am having hard time to stay awake. 

Wyatt was playing with Emma's hair and I wanted to pause the moment to remember. 

What am I knitting: beads scarf from Laura Nelkin for Christmas gift. Also I'm planning to make another ones just for me. It's Latus scarf. I knit the short row to place the beads. It's fun project. Yarn: merino blends with silk. From cascade yarn. It's softer for your neck than itching your neck. It's peacock colour. So pretty. I used two different colors of beads one: white beads to looks like frozen icicles. Two: teal to looks like peacock. But for mine, crystal with inside line blue. 

Psst, Derek and I are off to St. George together tomorrow without the kids for the weekend. Derek is so looking forward for that. 

Happy Birthday

I realized that we no longer have toddler in our house now. Yes! Emma has became a child. We had Frozen cake. I took Emma to the mall for Claire's earrings. I got Knockout Knit book by Laura Nelkin and pumpkin latte from Starbucks. Everyone had fun time for Emma's birthday party. After the party, (only our families, no friends yet.) she's exhausted from the excitement. The kids were doing their Halloween craft with their grandmothers. Wyatt had this birthday thing that he's easily getting mad at because he wants his birthday to be here. That which, we are annoying about this because he couldn't understand it yet. He LOVES presents. Oh dear! 

Wind Cave

What a brutal and exhausted hike! It took us 2 hours to walk up. Also it took us 45 minutes down. It's almost 2 miles (1.8 miles). Derek and I agrees never again. Emma and I stayed down for bit due to sickness from high altitude. Derek and Wyatt went to see inside of cave. I wish I could but I felt dizzy. It's awful hike because it's so rocky and steep trail. I was so happy when we were on bottom to our van. We were sore for a few days. We took the hot salt bath. The kids were so energized about hike. They even went too fast to hike. I was out of breathe for every 30 seconds. Good thing, we bought 3 water bottles. It's not for beginnier hike. It so tough hike. We were enjoyed to see our kids burned their energies and went to sleep early. We started to hike at 2pm and we got home at 6:30pm. Long afternoon hike. I did enjoyed the nature and saw some colorful trees. Whew! 

Weird Moment

Ok, Emma had a gross lunch. She had a bread with mayo and candy on it. She loves bread with just mayo. Yes, it gross me out. 

A few nights ago, we had our dinner date at our kitchen. We ate just steak. I took the last fork because all of the forks are dirty and are in dishwasher machine. So Derek had an idea to use corn fork as a fork. I was laughing. Good moment date together. Geez, I love him so much. I love my tiny family so much. 

This Moment

{this moment} ~ A Thursday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

Cutest Booties

Cutest booties by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. I wanted to knit it for Aaron. It form into a little socks to makes look booties. If anyone wants to knit this pattern, they need to know how to knit the sock pattern. This is not for a beginner. Next project, I wanted to crochet boot for baby girl (for Christmas gift). I'll post it when I'm working it on. Stay tuned. 

This Moment

I want tp pause and savor this moment after Emma put the nature on stool chair from the park we went a few days ago. Isn't it pretty? I love it. I almost threw away due to dirt but then I realized it's so autumn. I'm glad I took the picture of it. Enjoy!

Life Cycle Blanket

 

Finally, my knitting is done. I wanted something to feel antique blanket for my cousin, Aaron Jensen soon to be daddy newborn baby.

 

 

I had been knitting for 2 months. I could get it done in about 3 weeks but I didn't. I was sick for almost two weeks. I was too attract the movies. Yesterday, I had bold decision that I will finish this blanket so I did. I blocked it today. I use ayrrolo yarn from Blazing Needles in SLC.  

 





 

I took some of the pictures in processed of knitting. The only longest is knit the edge to bind off the body. I knit in 12 repeats in each sides. I knit 3 repeat in each corners.  

 

I am glad it is done because I want to knit in colorful project next. But first, I need to knit the cutest booties from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. It will be the same yarn as a blanket to match.

 

I blocked on my basement floor. It's too big for my block board. I don't want block on my bed. I need my own bed. So I had an idea to do this because it's new carpet from my friend. Also, it's good place to block to stay away from the kids.

 

Looks neat? Yes? I am still in amazing mode to saw this. It's certainly beautiful.

 



Oh, Why~Hello September.

Autumn is almost here!
