A Few Things

Derek's grandma, Maurine Godfrey, passed away last week. We went for the viewing and funeral. I was not good at emotional thingy. I don't like to cry in front of the people. I didn't mean that I look like I don't care. Just not good at emotional thingy.

We already know that death is part of natural, life, earth, and you can't do to prevent it. Derek was lucky to have his grandma until he is in his thirty's. My both grandparents are gone when I was very young. Our nephew, Quintin, is lucky teenager boy to have his great grandma until he is 15 years old. My great grandparents are already gone before I was even born. My parents had the children in late age. My dad was only ten when his first nephew was born. That's why the reason I got married right after graduation from High School and immediately to have the kids.

The cemetery is in Clarkston. It was windy and cold outside. I didn't wore the coat. 

We had lunch together.



I finished this long cowl a few days ago. It was wet and blocked. Now it is dry and ready to wear it. I use Cascade Yarn Eco Alpaca yarn. Pattern: Wintering.

I started working on socks. Because it is March now. I don't want to be stress when the summer is over.

It is for Justin. I am already on heel flap part now.

Today's weather: we have snow lately. I was ready to wearing the short, mother nature says nope, you are not. I desperate for the sunshine.

A Few Good Reasons...

The reason is: deaf.

1- I realized that my neighbors have the dogs. They are quite barking around here. I'm glad I don't have to hear the annoying noise. 

2- The horror movies. If I'm scared, I just look down and knitting. I'm glad that I don't have to hear the eerie sounds. 

3- I hate thunderstorms. But I love raining. Not flash light. I would have no clue when the lightning hits. 

That's all for now. 

PS: I'm watching the movie- The Shining. The horror film. Hooray for knitting!

Freaky Friday

Sighs. My day is not over just yet. My work is not over yet. I was surprised that I was super busy this week. I usually am not super busy these days. I was working on my desk lately. Computer works, set the many of appointments. I haven't a chance to set up an appointment with my H&R Blocking just yet. We got a bonus paycheck. I was so relieved! My van is sick right now. It has fluid leak transmission and brake is worn out.

I was groaning when Derek reminded me about this Sunday. We are supposing to go to Clarkston for Derek's dad birthday party. I told him that we can't drive that far with this sick van. Derek told me he got this covered. He will ask his aunt to borrow her car for this sunday. We can only drive a mile from our house. I am taking the bus for the store. We only have one vehicle. I am so glad that I live in town that are closer to the businesses. Our van will be in hospital for surgery(the nissan shop) this Tuesday morning after we drop the kids off to school.

I need to exercise soon. I baked the mini blueberry pies with the mason jar lids.

After I baked, I was nervous wreck due to new for paypal account. It's my first time experience about this. I liked it. I admitted that I ordered the yarns from Ravelry. I bought the pattern from England. I want to make this cowl for Etsy or myself if I fell in love with it. I will wait and see after I make it. The color will be blue/purple/white multi-colors yarn. It is Madelinetosh 80/10/10 . It is so hard to find this yarn because I think that it is discontinued. So I ordered from the seller on the Ravelry, that she is selling. I got my chance to buy before it is too late. So I set up my account on paypal. I was surprised how it was so easy. I looked up my bank account. It's so quickly pended the money. I am thinking that I am going to enjoy it.

I am going to make this cowl: Unfold by Yuliya Tkacheva. 

Ah, before I forget, I got my business cards for Etsy.

It is one page. One on front and one is on the back. I have 500 cards. I am all set for Etsy. I already opened the new bank account just for Etsy. My own mini shop business. JennaLoveYarn.etsy.com



Happy Friday. Not for me, my husband is working double shifts today to tomorrow. He has a lot of overtime work this week that which it is not normal. But more money to come home, yay!

Finished and Quotes

I finished the projects above. I need to knit another socks before christmas arrive. Oh yes, Christmas will be here than you think. Because it is already spring and sun is staying longer. I can't decide if I should to sell the shawl with the beads on my etsy shop. 

That reminds me that I want to knit Brantley the socks too. 

Since I stepped out of my comfort zone a few weeks ago. I am glad I did it. I needed something different. So lately, I have been reading the quotes to help me to get through. Quotes are the best and fit in the world for me. 

I ordered the car humidifier. It included air humidifier and oil diffuser. I love it so much. I am planning to order for Derek's truck to save it. I am thinking about to buy this for christmas presents. Black Friday is the best place to order these to save some of money. It costs me $32.00. The oils are not included. I buy the oils from Nature Grocers. I love this shop. You will enjoying it, I promise! It'll be good for winter season. Oh my, I just can't believe that winter is almost gone. Spring is almost has been sprung. See, I told you that Christmas will be here tomorrow.

Kids

I took this immediately when I thought of this girl with a dog. It's so precious. It's happened last Christmas of 2015.

Haha, oh Emma! She is getting big girl everyday. She was playing with her doll's pacifier. 

Wyatt joined the Scout. It's his first derby race car. His grandpa Thorup helped with him to built the car. I love how Wyatt puts his popcorn in his belt. He won in 3rd place. 

The kids were building the snow cave. Almost succeeded. But We are proud of them. 

They are proudly fans of Broncos on Super Bowl 50. 

We were at friend's house for Super Bowl 50. We also brought the kids with us. 

We went to Eastridge park to slid down with the tube. We did went too. I was out of shaping but it was good one. It's free than go to ski company.

Oh Derek! He took a photo of me while I was knitting. I wore Derek's hat from his coat to help dim my eyes from the sun. It was so bright outside. 

Derek is being a goofy to take a picture of Emma while they were cooking Mac and Cheese. 

Ah, what a good memories. Enjoy it.
