The Kids

 Wyatt is watching Blue Clue. I tried to call out on him but he focused on TV. Oh well.

We are playing around with our iPad camera. I love her tongue. So little mouth. She has very BLUE eyes. Yes, she is naked, except underwear. She finally potty trained now. Yay.

Quotes

 I started watch TV show 24. Kiefer is knitting the pink gun.

 True.

 I like that quote.

 This is happening to me right now. Why?

 My list to do today.

 Ha ha.

 I hate to do chores. I rather to be knitting than cleaning.

ANYTHING but the yarns! I love that. It's cheer up for me.

 Facts about deaf vs hearing.

Ha ha, that's funny.

Smitten

   On Friday afternoon I gathered my yarn and needles and started a little smitten in winter color.
I started with my swatches to checked up my gauge. I used a lot of ruler and tape measures. I wanted to make sure I got the right gauge swatch. Sometimes the rulers trick to me. I knitted in the round swatch. I used flat-in-round method. If you know what's that mean if you are knitter. I like that way than knitting a whole around swatch. I just cut the threads in the back, I just knitted them in the double-point needles and just slide it another point of the needles. It will be easy if I show you or you can check up on YouTube. 

 I knit and knit- I cast on 32 stitches for the cuffs. I then add the cuffs to become one mitten then I decreased until shape of top of mitten to finishing. 

Voila! A little smitten, made from one ball of I Love This Yarn Hobby Lobby, color Navy Blue, done in less than a weekend.  I wove in all my ends.  Easy, quick and winterlike. So much fun, I almost made another one. It's looking like a heart mitten. That's good name for love couples. 

PS, I am hoping that Justin and Keisha will love it. I am hoping that they will enjoying wear them while they are holding their hands in this smitten in the winter season. 

PSS, on facebook, I post the picture of it and asked "what do you think about this?" a few people said they love it. so that's when I decided to knit the smitten. At the first, I think that is silly mitten until I asked a few people about it. So it's good to know that some of the people like it. 

PSSS, this is for Justin and Keisha, their wedding gift. 

Photo Essay

We went out for the bikes ride. We rode our bikes to Three Point Avenue street to church from our house and we just ride our bike around the church. We had fun time together. We rode bike to church from house because the kids' car seats are in blue car, I knew that the bikes won't fit in the trunk of blue car. Our van is expired license. 

Emma was crying because she wanted to go home when we were at church parking lot. She was really tired.  So we rode bikes back to home. She was crying all the way from church. Wyatt loved to bike. When we arrived home, we sat down. Emma sat with me on my pink recliner, BAM, she fell asleep. I can see her scar on her chin. 

Wyatt was pretending to be a dog. He likes to be naked except underwear good thing about it. He doesn't tired. He was keeping play around. Wyatt wants to go and ride the bike again to church. One thing about him that I was upsetting- he doesn't stop at the end of sidewalk to watch out for the cars then cross the street. I had to yelled at him to stop! He doesn't understand about it yet. That's annoying me. I have been teaching him many times about to watch out for the cars. 

I was sweating and it was good. I need it. 

That's our story for our bike rides.

Random Thursday

 Ta-da! I made homemade and handmade braided bread with caramel oinion, spice clove, dried thryme, and olive oil. It's so good and sweet. Derek loved it too. I am going to make it again in some time. Yum.

I stole this idea from Stephanie Pearl-McPhee. She always make bread. I am still her fan. She is knitter. I am copycat her.

 I love this! I want to frame this post and hang up beside my guinea pig. So cute. Like a "Beware dog!" The kids love Reeses and Furball. I did introduce them. Furball was so curious about her. Reeses was so afraid of him. So Reeses ran around in the cage and Furball chase her. Furball stole her food. Ha ha. Good memory for us. We are enjoying watch them together. I am so happy to adpoted her. Derek starts to love her now. He wasn't used to it. It's was his first pet guinea pig. He was used to the dogs and cats. Not small pets. We play with her every single day. I am thankful for Heavenly Father to create a guinea pig.

I finished them last night. I enjoyed it. It was quickly than knitting. Now I am experinced with them both crochet and knitting. It's basic socks recipe from Interweave Crochet magazine. I like the colors. They are mine. Mine. Yep. It's easy as a pie for me to crochet these because I already know how to make them like as a knitting.

Off we go for the bike ride.

Reeses As A Candy

Yep! Guinea Pig. We bought her yesterday. It was  GREAT deal for us. We paid for her for $30.00. A lady sold Reeses to us from Farr West that she couldn't take care of her anymore because she is moving. Reeses is a girl, and 7 months old. Of course, we still have furball the hamster. I couldn't have a dog and/or a cat. They are depressing me. I couldn't handle them. So Guinea pig and hamster are good for me. Derek was nervous to pet Reeses. Good thing that I already know how to take care of her. I had one before when I was in junior high school. She is easily care.

Reeses is good name for her because of her color skin. I learned one thing from Derek that he refuses to have a pet bird. I surprised agreed. I had one bird before. Oh my, forget about it. I don't want to talk about my birds. 

The kids love reeses. She is little bit shy at the first. She will overcome and loves us.

My Late Weekend

My mom bought me the spin proof color eggs last year. So we tried it out with my parents on Easter's Day. It NOT works. It's spilling anyway. Good thing that we dyed the eggs outside on the deck table. Not good idea for inside house. I don't like mess.

They are so pretty spring colors eggs. So I wanted to try and dye again at my home but I used food color to dye the eggs. That's all I have the colors: red, yellow, and green. But at least we did by ourselves. The kids love the red ones.

 Yesterday our dinner was Hawaii Macaroni Salad. I decided to dye the pasta into green. Tan is bored color. I wanted something different and excited dinner. My husband was like what expression on his face. I love to see his face. I could dye the pasta into red and blue for July. Red and green for Christmas. It's fun.

I finished crochet sock (one sock, I am working on another one today). I wanted to have an experience to crochet a pair of the socks. So far, it's fun. Its very quickly crochet sock than knitting sock. It took me 2 days crochet a sock. Knitting- 1 week to finish a sock. I have a loom sock that I want to try it out in someday.

It's basic sock pattern from Interweave Crochet magazine.

PS. today is snow day. My house is cold! It's April, it's fool month. April, you got us.

My Cute Furball

And that is all she wrote.

I love him to death. He is so soft fur! I pet and play with him every single day.

Derek and I agree that we will buy a female cat when furball is gone. Then we will have a dog(I want a Yorkie, shih tzu, or long hair Chihuahua.) after a cat. I just can't have a big jump step to have a dog right now. I need to be in small step for a little bit. Or it will be depression for me. So hamster is good starter for us right now. One animal a time. I don't want to have two or three pets. Too crazy and stress. 

I had cats when I was toddler age. I loved my cats. So I want to have a cat because after the cats, I grew up with all of the dogs. I barely remember when I have the cats when I was two to six years old.

I want to be able to have a pet in my little family. I want them to be part of our family life. There is no home without a pet. 

Random Tuesday

 I have been crocheting... It's linked jacket by Robyn Chachula.

I took a good picture of Skeeter(yorkie). He sat with me on a couch for a while during nighttime. I love it. Every time when we visit to my parents', I always go and grab him to be hold him. You can see white on his chin. It's making me sad that I don't want him to be aging. 10 years is short life for dogs. 10 years isn't that long time. I feel like it's 5 years.

Today, I cleaned my kitchen room like as a Monk's way of his clean freak. I dusted, wash the walls, and you name it that I haven't clean for a while. I love Monk!
