Hello December

Welcome December. We celebrated Wyatt's 6th birthday. We can't believe that he is already six. I still remember when I was in hospital with him. I miss when he was a newborn baby boy. My parents came. We went out to Royal Express Chinese restaurant. Derek's mom stopped by before Derek picked Wyatt up from his school. 

Ok, here the photos of me, I took an experiment on my hair. I did do in old fashion way, by twist and knot then let it dry overnight. Not what I had hoped for.  

In the next morning, my hair is wacko! Look like I was shock. Afro hair, bad hair day, you name it. My hair is very thin. I enjoyed this hair by so thick. Derek loves to see me in this unusual hair. He said, something is different than common same daily. Something is unusual and different. 

So welcome December to you. Merry Christmas! Oh, I love Christmas. We are watching the Christmas movies this month. Wanted to welcome a Christmas spirit. 

Still Working On That....

Sighs, yes I'm still working on sleeves. Everything is so crazy, especially with holidays, school, new members of neighbour next to us. The kids are wild as the monkeys -related with the holidays coming- Wyatt makes me crazy because it no school this week-thanksgiving break- geez. I'm thankful for school- so, it quiet in the house without the kids. 

Tomorrow, I hope we will have a good time with families for dinner. Shawn's family and Graden's family (Derek's brothers) won't be here with us. This is first time for us to experience without them. I was used to a big families together for dinner. My parents will be gone to Moab. 

School- a lot of homework to help out with Wyatt. Read time routine. Doing fluency speech with my farewell neighbour, Diana Smart. I need to find someone to do it for me, eh. 

New neighbour will move in after December 12th, they are getting married that weekend in December. So my neighbour are so stressful. Yesterday, it was last day for carpool together for school. I enjoyed it so much. Save gas. Now from on, on my own everyday to pick him up from school, again eh. I saw the new neighbour, we tried to met them but they were busy with their new house. Hopefully we will introduced ourselves to them soon. I'm hoping they don't freak out that we are deaf. 

Anyway, about my project, I'm trying to knit more than 5 rows. I'm knitting at once, at the same time sleeves than one sleeves then knit another second sleeves. I only have 4 cables (braid) more to go then I'll knit for shaping shoulders cap. 

Psst, I just like "U" in words, I'm copying Canadian language just for fun. Colour, neighbour, favourite...

Hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving dinner with your families. I'm sure we will have a good time. Trip safe, I'm hoping we will travel to Clarkston safe because my van has an issue with VDC. I'll take it to shop next week. I'm hoping it just a brake fluid low. Lucky, it just in this valley, not on I-15 freeway.

6 Pairs...

Finally done. So I can go back to my project to finishing it that I had started in August 2012. I am in desperately want to starting a new project. Boo.

So that's all I say today... Here I go to work my WIP(work in process) project. At least, I'm happy the fingerless mittens are done. 

Today's weather is good! I am in mood for storm, colder air, dark cloudy... 

Psst, I finished watch TV show 'Revolution'(2013). I'm waiting for season two to come out on netflix next year. I don't want to watch weekly, it's eating my time and to answer the questions, so watch all 22 episodes at once for about a week than weekly on TV. 

Little Cutie

I have been knitting the fingerless mittens for a friend for her kids' Christmas. 6 pairs of them. Only two pairs to go. I'm using Debbie Bliss merino wool. DK weight. Colours in red, midnight blue, lipstick pink, blueberry pie purple. The pink is blend with cashmere. Too soft. 

Crafts Pumpkin

Their grandparents Thorup came and visited at my house. They were made the pumpkin foams craft. It was fun. I was thinking, why not to decorated the house from their handmade pumpkins. I don't know if it has thanksgiving foams craft. But I know it has Christmas so we will make them when we see it in the store. 

Aren't they cute? Wyatt's smile is funny. 

We bought an electric fireplace for my family room. I love this style of fireplace. Like feel old-fashion, farm, country home. I don't want a fancy ones. 

It saves our money from buying woods, I hate gas fireplace, so an electric is the best option for us. It has adjust the tempareture for our comfortable. I was surprisely that it calms us. We are enjoying to watch it without TV on. Quiet time, read time, comfort time, and bed time.

Hello November

Well well surprisely for us to see the snow outside. I shrieked to the kids and showed them outside. They were so so excited to go out and played. They grabbed their snow pants. I love snow so much. 

I took Reeses, piggy, outside and let her have an experienced for her first snow. She also ate the grass.

Unfortunately, the snow don't last that long. I'm hoping we will have a white Christmas. But right now, I'm very enjoying the autumn. We went to the Logan river trail, I love the leaves falling, walked on them, and smell of the fall season. The kids had blast time too. It was the best place to visit the fall trees and forget everything(life,work,stress) outside from the full of trees surround us inside the trail. It was nice. 

When I went in the very first Local Yarn Shop on 1000 west, now it's no longer there anymore, I saw this quote on the wall and loved it. It's true. 

Psst, my Local Yarn Shop is on the Main Street now. They were combined from the two LYS stores into one store. 

Pssst, I'm still working the fingerless mittens for Callista's kids for Christmas. 6 more to go. I'm hoping that there will be enough yarns remain for headbands. If not, I'll talk to her. I'll be use the knitting machine for headbands. 

Done, Done, And Done

I've finally finished all the finishing projects. One more to go-Cable and lace cardigan. 

I love the feeling of finished projects.

Blocked to smooth the texture out so I can easily cut steek after I blocked them. It was awesome. 

I crochet the front opening. Not only crochet, I also sew machine to double seal the knitting from being damage.

Inside of jacket after I sew machine and crochet. Look at those fair isle beauty. Block do their magic.

Only neckband was to go. I was demanding to finish it last night. I accomplished!

She is very happy to have her warm soft wool jacket. The dress is too big for her. I used Cascades yarn socks weight, 80% merino wool and 20% nylon. Colors are yellow, green. dark pink, lavender, pink, and white. I used clear pink shade of buttons.

I also finished linked-chain crochet cardigan. It fits me pretty perfect. I thought it will be too small because I started it last winter. I added the button for decor. It's ease wool from LionBrand yarn. Color is cranberry. 70% acrylic and 25% wool. It's heavy weight than sport weight. I used SusanBates crochet hook US 10.

Ha ha, she is such as a princess.

Thursday

A second of sleeve is this close almost done. 

Lately, this week we become sick. Emma had a fever last night. Today, her fever is low now. Whew. 

I was surprised to see this happy smile little boy. I thought he will probably do silly when he's taking a picture. He's very happy boy. We are blessing to have him in our family life. 

Sardine canyon is always pretty during fall season. I love the colors. 

Today we are going to see our dentist for cleaning teeth. Wish me luck with the kids. The kids hate it. 

Can't Blogging

Must.Stay.Focus! Can't talk right now. Winter is coming, I'm gonna beat it before it comes. Bye-bye. Aren't you leaving yet? Shoo...(peeking at you)...shoo! Are you trying to stop me? Now shoo.

Random Wednesday

I'm only 8 rounds to go then it'll be done. I'll soon start on a second of sleeve. Knit the sleeves are easy, mindless, and faster. I had has a notebook for track on the sleeves includes math too. I was knitting while I was watching Fringe tv show in my bedroom last night. Yes, I can knitting and watching tv in the same time. I feel it's wasting my time to just watch tv show without my knitting. Also depend on what kind of project I'm working on.
