Quiet......

I am watching Craftsy: Knitting Texture One Motif At A Time. I am enjoying to watch with Laura Nelkin classes. She is a good teacher. 

Cheers!!! Shawl with beads. I ordered it from Craftsy.

Yarn: Cloudborn Fibers Merino Superwash Sock Twist. I am using large size (60 stitches). I made the stitch marker: sea turtle . Aren't they that cute? I love sea turtle. I love being under the sea. I always want to go to the clearest water beach, aka hawaii or bora bora. 

I just want to be quiet time and knit. I was little crazy in these days with my disorders. Knitting helps to calm me down. 

To be honest, I want to knit all the patterns of Laura Nelkin's patterns. I am obsessing about her. 

Before yarn. 

My neighbor's cat was sitting on top of the fence. She looked up to see me. She caught an another mice in my backyard. She is shy cat. She won't let us to pet her. 

A roving 100% merino into yarn.

In the next day, I have been spinning when the kids were with their grandparents for two days. I got it finished when the kids are home. I spun in under 12 hours, this isn't me. I had a good time of freedom time without the kids. 

I used chain-plied the yarn. It was only one on bobbin. It is about 120 yards and sport weight. 

The heavy smoke from Plymouth. It was human caused. I think it was spread to about 10k acres. I could be wrong. This came from my front yard head west. I love the orange-red sun. Later in the night time, we saw the creepy red moon. I was little spooky. 

The smoke was heading to the east from my backyard. 

So far in the summer, here in the western states have really drought lands. We have mini fire in the canyon. The firefighters were working hard to put the fire out very quickly. I love Cache Valley town. Most the big fires are came from Salt Lake City. We were lucky in this county where there were mini fires. We are 80 miles north from Salt Lake City. 

It's crazy. The mountains are so so so dry. You could see the yellow grasses on the mountain. I don't use water sprinkle for my grass, it hards to stay green in this drought weather. I am saving my money and water. Plus the pipe is still broken. No, our grass is not very yellow like the mountain has. We need rain, but I love the sun so much! I am not looking forward for darker season. 

Yep, you got this right. At the first, I thought it was a joking. I was shocking to see this in reality after I watched the news on TV. My face was like, are you kidding me? It surely does smells like a swedish  fish candy. But it is too sweeter that I don't really like.

I need to go back and knitting. Knitting is the best thing in my life.

I Don't Want August To Be Here...

I don't want august to be here. Because that's means the summer is almost over. We are turning to autumn season. I do love the fall, but winter is coming that I don't want. It's depressing season. So, I am going to enjoy as much as I can while the summer is here. I don't care how hot outside. I love the sunny season. This morning, I noticed that in my master bathroom window that sun is moving to the right than center to my sink. I was like no no no nononono. I am not ready for that. The sun is going to be on way to south of the earth. I am jealous of you- south america- that the spring is on their way. Plus, I am nervous for election day in November. 

Here is our July events:

We went to the Bear Lake with Derek's families for a week. It was fun. I did had a bittersweet to leaving head to home. I love to see the blue lake. We went to the Minnetonka Cave. We enjoyed it. It's cooler inside than outside. 40* F. I was relieved that the mouth of a cave from parking lot was not that far like another caves do- walk for a mile up to the mouth of cave-. When we arrived to the mouth, you could feel the cold air coming out. The cave has 800 steps total. Be prepare if you are going, plus a jacket. 

We went to the private beach in the Bear Lake. It was so nice than the public beach. I don't like the crowded beach. How?- Derek's parents' friend lives there, we just went through their backyard to the beach. I wish we live right to the beach. We had a lot of fun events. 

I bought this mug. I love it so much. Bearly awake- barely wake. It was in the Lazy One store.

I finished this shawl after we got home from the Bear Lake. It was so long: 545 stitches total! I am so glad that this is finished! 

Now, I am working on the hats for Dad, Justin, and Jake for their hunting. 

I got the idea when I cleaned up the living room as I picked up a toy of tent. So I put the Reeses, the guniea pig, in the tent while her cage is cleaning. I love it. It fits. Isn't she that cutie?

I couldn't drink that much of dairy production. So I had the raw almonds in my pantry. So I decided to made the almond milk. It's different than I usual taste for cow milk. I wanted to make my matcha tea with this almond milk. It was okay. Next, I will try it with soy milk.

Emma and I have been collecting the mini toddler of the Disney princess. I love them, so do Emma. I like to collect the toys in sometimes. I miss my 90's toys. 

Oh yes, that's right. you should be jealous. Ha ha. I didn't want to wait, so I went and bought this when its released in the store. I read and finished it in under 12 hours. It was a good story. You should read it.
