I cut and sew with my new sew machine. I want to be able to wear them again. So I sewed them into the skirts. Ta-Da! I am happy. It's took me 3 days to finished them.

Cowl

 Just finished knitted. This was before block. Hi, Emma--peek-a-boo!

 I washed it in lukewarm with eucalan soap.

 Foamy.

 I pinned around the cowl.

 You can see closer to see the textures. Pretty, yes?

 I sewed seam to became a tube.

 Ohh, love this. Too softy yarn. Also it's fizzy.

 Aww, cute. She wanted me to put on a cowl for her.

 Wyatt wanted to also after he saw Emma. (I swear, they looked to my left side at nothing. I am the one who was behind a camera. No one was behind me) Funny.

I finally to use my dressform. I was not dress up for a camera.

Not Quite What We Expected

Oh my! We were at Derek's parents' house last Sunday. Our tradition to visit family on every Sundays. We were hang out in family room. I had no idea where the kids were, until they came in. Derek was shocked to saw them. He rushed them into a tub. Their grandma took the picture of them. Derek took a picture of his phone. I am so glad that Derek is the one who was bathing them. Ha ha. Their cousin, Kiera was also dirty but only on her hands. But our kids, oh my. I asked Sheri where did they played with the mud? She said she doesn't know. Yes, I painted the black to respect their privacy areas. Their grandma thinks that's funny. If I were her, I will lose my temper. Why... well, I don't like to clean up. Clean up is NEVER my favorite. I am trying to avoid the messy so I can knit all day- that's tough.

Things Going Well

 Done with a first sock. I will start knit a second pair of socks soon. I want to get another projects to finish first. There are no deadline. That's helping a lot.

 I started this project- a cowl. I started it last Sunday. The yarn is so softer. It's angora and merino blends.

 Precious. I stand on the stairs and watched them last night. I rushed to get a camera. Good times. Emma loves to play with a dollhouse which I kept since I was young girl.

Emma's finger is recovering. You can see white spot. Ouch. Yesterday, she has a mosquito bite. She said "ouch, ouch, and ouch" I can read her lip. So cute. She was melting my heart.

Oh No... It's Happening

Yes, she's all right and calm down right now. *a BIG relief sighs*

 Oh, no she didn't; oh, yes she did. It's almost 2nd degree burning her finger and middle finger. Forgive her for being pick on her nose. Ohh, poor her so little and cute hand.

 Why? She risked and touched an iron press for the clothes. It's happening at roughly 3pm. It was getting worse and hurt-too painful for her. We decided to took her to Instacare. She got a medicine cream and paper tapes.

You can see the white spots-burned. We did put an aloe on her. We did put the ice in a bag on her. She refused to stay calm down. She was keeping said "ow, ow, ow, owowoowwww!" I was in "groaning" with my hand on my forehead and said "Oh boy!" I was getting the dinner ready but Emma was keeping loud, I put the dinner on the hold-everything are in basket with foil cover and rushed to Instacare before 8pm. It's closed at 8pm. We got in there at 7:30pm. I thought we will have a long night. Seem like we will have a normal night like we do. After dinner, we went to Cold Stone. I got a DreamCream ice cream. It's my drug. Being a mommy isn't easy job.

Bear Lake

 Ha ha. She is so CUTE! I petted her to wake up. Ha ha. Love this!

 Bear Lake!

 What a beautiful! Very blue water. My parents came to my house for my mom's work site. So my parents wanted to stop by in Bear Lake for raspberry shake. So we went there. I wanted to join them. The kids had fun time in the water. We went to Loveland(south of Bear Lake, that's where cost us free). The water was warm than I thought. Ohh I love this. Sadly, it's too far for my parents' house. Gladly, it's close to my home. We, Derek and us, went there a few times. I love a small town. I used to be city girl. Now I hate city. I am town girl. I love farm. I love a big land than buildings.

Oooooh! So beautiful green pine trees. I was so very enjoying to see the pretty nature. I was sitting in the middle in the SUV. It was little crowd and small for me to sit the middle but lucky, I am small lady. Derek had to work on that day. We sure had fun time together.

Socks

 What do you think? I love it. Stephanie Pearl-McPhee once said "Knitted socks are best than the store-bought socks". I want to knitting the socks instead store bought socks for me. Knitted socks have varies of the colors and textures. Really fun. Than bored white. I am thinking about to knitting the socks for the kids.

This is for my mom. I am knitting her a pair of socks. She bought the yarns for me. I just started knitting today. I think that I prefer to knit with the metal needles than wood needles. I did knitted with the wood needles last night for a swatch. Ohh, really easy to bend and break the skinny wood needles. That means, I need to buy more the metal needles for socks. There are tons different kind of the metal needles. I want to buy Signature needles. It's $30 per each needles. But it's the best needles and lasts longer. I want to buy the sets of needles than buy each for time to time. I told my mom that I can knit for dad. If he wants to.

Bike!

Yes, bike! I love it. Especially the seat. I love a soft, thick, and big seat. Small seat is hurt my butt. I like old-fashioned bike. I wanted to add a basket, so I did. For water, phone, yarn, and/or house keys. I rode a bike every morning since I started bike(I borrowed my neighbor's bike for a few weeks until I buy my bike) I want to exercise everyday. I want to weight loss. I rode a bike around about 5 blocks. I want to ride a bike until snow come then I will start walk on my treadmill. My body will be used to exercise so I probably don't want to stop exercise when the winter season is coming. I actually can bike in the winter if the snow is plowed off the street. What's wrong with it? Derek wants to buy one for himself, so he will buy next week. I got it last Saturday. I am so addicted to a bike. It's really motiving me to keep up. I am happy.

A Crochet Beanie For Me

I wanted a hat. A warm hat. This is surprising warm and thick hat. The pattern I made for Aaron was knit. I want crochet. Something different. I finished it yesterday.

Update...

I am still working on my second of a pair of the socks. I am now knitting on heel part of the sock. I really enjoy to knitting the socks. My mom wants me to knitting the socks for her. She bought the yarns for me. I will start when I am done this. I don't like many projects to knitting=hard to get them done like you do or did with the debts.
