Skeeter

I found out yesterday that my dear Yorkie/Chihuahua dog passed away on February 26 evening at my parents' barn in the backyard. My dad called the dogs to come in for the night. Only Lucky the pug and Gunner the black lab came in. No skeeter. So He went out to looked for him. He found Skeeter laying next to the barn. Gunner tried to move him but he wasn't moving at all. So my dad tried to move him. Nothing happened. So He knew that Skeeter is gone. So my dad put Skeeter in a box and buried him in the backyard. My family had a good crying together. My mom forced my dad to tell me because they knew that Skeeter is so special to me. I love Skeeter. I have always so excited every time I visit to my parents and played with Skeeter. I hope that Lucky will be OK for a while because Lucky and Skeeter are "married together". I was bawled yesterday after I found out about it. Derek and my guinea pig comforted me. He is about 12 years old. He had an arthritis in his legs. I knew it's getting closer time to go. You will be miss terribly! I love you, Skeeter. RIP with Shadow the yellow lab. You are welcoming to walk around in my house with your spirit body dog. I really wanted to squeeze hug you so badly. I will always remember you and Shadow.

Today's Story About Everything

Right now, I am drinking a second cup of coffee. Without it, I will be sleeping on a couch in living room all day until Wyatt comes to home from school, which is that's not good. Waste the half of day. Emma will do something trouble while I am snooze off. So I am thankful for coffee. Coffee is only keeping me going on daily than being snooze and lazy. I can see the difference between them.

I agree it. Well, it's true.

I rarely took selfie of me. Because I don't like to see myself. I am not model or addict to mirror or something like that. So here you go....

I also don't do high maintain such as straight my hair but I was in mood to do it to see what I look like. I was drinking coffee. Outside was practically summer, so I wore a tank top. I like this photo.

I want to keep post of my Reeses the guinea pig. She's so cute. I couldn't resist it. I noticed that she is more trusting with us and comfort with us like a kid in a foster family. I couldn't imagine if I give her away and she will have to start over again with the new family. So she is staying with us until she goes to heaven. I love her personally, almost like a cat.

Now I am knitting: Tam hat, socks for Derek, baby kicking sack bag, and just started on baby blanket for Keisha, my sister in law. She's expecting due in July 2015. When I started knitting this, I had the yarns that was so fine fingering weight and it's too light and lace so I don't like how it was turned out. So I went to my LYS and bought these and they are much better. They are Cascade Sport weight superwash merino.

I wanted to show you what Utah's weather looking like in February that which is not normal for Utah in February. It's really practically summer, I am telling you, it is summer!

Yesterday, I caught this from Emma. So freak cute! She snapped at us to be shush that her babies are sleeping on her bed in her room. I can't help, she is so &*$% cute and I love her so much. And yes I knitted the afghan for my son.

My old neighbour gave me this from her new house. I love antique stuff. This is old, broken, and little dirty paint shelf. Next to my favorite wood stove fireplace. I love the quote of You Are My Sunshine. I was trying to find You Are Loved but I couldn't find it in Hobby Lobby. I love this store!

But I ended up bought this. I took all the religious down, we are no longer religious anymore. I like it better without it. Quote is good.

Ok. That's our story now. Now our weather in Utah is cloudy. It's supposed to be snow tonight to tomorrow. We will see. But I rather sun shine. Sometimes cloudy makes me depressed. At least, yesterday was so perfect weather. It's 61 degree F same as in Miami weather yesterday. Miami was 60 degree F. I can see the little storm on top of our mountain. Ohhh! a plane is so closer on our neighborhood and Emma heard it. It's scared me. It's like small plane, not like 2 people small plane. Probably like 60 people on that plane size. You know what I am talking about. I can see it swoosh and turn on low height feet. We do have a small airport here. Probably problem and need to have an emergency landing. I guess.

My Work

I found this on my Pinterest. I think that is funny. I showed to my mother, she thinks it's gross. Well, we need to open minded. Derek thinks it's funny. We can't do it together, I can't see what am I knitting and Derek is too big for me to wrap around my arms on his body. It will be too awkward.

I finally finished crocheted jump dress for the long range planning box. Like it's storage box and waiting for the right person to give away like a Christmas gift. If Keisha is having a baby girl, I will give this to her. I use Sheep(ish) Vickie Howell but now it is Bernat yarn. I wanted something is soft and loose yarn. Not too stiff like red heart that I absolutely hate it. Merino yarn do sometimes stiff too. So single ply yarn is good for this project. Also I like their colours.

My mother gave me the knitting stitch markers last Christmas. Unfortunately, I lost them. I was sick and my mind was dead. I must be threw away by accident. It was bothering me. So I went to the Jo-Ann and bought the beads and stuffs to make them. But see that I don't make it looks professional but I am practicing. I have used my old earrings into stitch markers and it's look more professional but I do want to show my handmade stitch markers too. So I can tell which ones that are homemade than store purchase. Sorry my table is making you dizzy, it's valentine month.

OK, now I am currently knitting a baby kick sack for Keisha. I used leftover sock yarns.It will be multiple colours. I loved it with my kids when they were babies but it came from the store. Yes, I wish I started knitting when I was a teenager but no time for that due to peer pressure. And I still knitting on tam hat. I ripped off because it won't work with decrease round for crown shaped so I started over again with 1.50mm, 40cm Addi needle circular.

PS, today's weather is cloudy. Still no snow. Yesterday, it was 65 degree F. I admited it was beautiful weather. I tweeted to NWSSaltLakeCity weather and asked what went wrong and they said that "the high pressure has kept the jet stream north of us. Climatology says that may change as we head toward spring. Sure hoping so!" My mother said it might will be snow in May. He he. I feel like that winter is missing. I need to put a post alert missing named Winter. Currently, it feels like it's spring now. Cursed.
